That fandom nostalgia is a helluva drug. Mix it with updated norms and politics and you’ll get 10,000 word essays on why purple-hair Dr. Sattler can’t use a hyperdrive as a weapon because it’d make Star Wars unrealistic.
I like to cook and sometimes people call me “chef” and I always correct them.
“Cooks prepare food for people they love, chefs prepare food for people they hate”.
I also dislike the term chef, bc the professionalization of the gendered activity “cooking” makes is acceptable for a man to do, but my family isn’t ready for that conversation.
In case anybody doesn’t know, a good trick to avoid blindness is to close one eye until the car passes so you’ll retain your night vision in that eye. This also works great for going to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
I’m not sure if this will work for everyone, but when I want to share something from the web with my iphone, I just change the file name from “somememe.webp” to “somememe.png” and it works fine.
They’re are a few problems saying that prison labor is a continuation of slavery in the US.
The largest demographic in prison is white men.
Prisons don’t make money. Corpos that run the prisons, or the phones, or use prisoners as cheap labor do profit, but that money mostly comes from the State, the prisoners themselves, and the prisoner’s families.
Prisoners have legal rights.
Nobody is born incarcerated.
I’m not trying to defend that clause in the 13^th^. But equivocating all forms of slavery and forced labor is a common white supremacist tactic to minimize the particular evils of racialized chattel slavery in the US.
All races, all people, all nations, have had slavery and been slaves at some point themselves

US agriculture policy isn’t Socialist in that workers control the production, but “socialist” in the since that the government controls the markets through subsidies.
For example, in the 70s their was a crash in dairy prices. To the point where farmers were dumping milk down the drain. (yay capitalism) The Carter admin, seeing the dairy industry as essential to national security (dairy was a way bigger part of the diet back then), bought massive amounts of milk at above market price to keep the farmers afloat.
You may have heard of “government cheese” as a pejorative toward welfare. Well, that’s where the cheese came from, all that milk that the government owned. People remember the children that got free cheese, but not the farmers who got government cash.
The best way to interact with a Linux machine is ssh through powershell. Hate me all you want, but it’s kinda a self-own to imply that savvy Linux users don’t bother with the desktop.
Just want to praise this channel for it’s aviation content. Anyone interested in well-researched WWII aviation content by a presenter with the bona fides needs to be subscribed.
Have you noticed how Biden has embraced Trump era tariffs while two Republican speakers passed spending bills with no cuts? Milton Friedman would not be happy about this.
My best tip for air fryers is to use them for the second fry of foods that are double fried. Egg Rolls, Karage, Orange chicken, etc, honestly, The double fry method isn’t just for Asian food, it takes anything where crispiness is desirable to the next level.
Do the first low fry as normal, then use the air fryer for the second high-temp fry. You don’t have to worry about overcrowding as much, plus everything will be less greasy. The whole point of the second fry is to remove moisture and the air does this just as well as the grease.
