  • Levearging an onion article doesn’t make your argument here. I mean I could accuse the homosexual industrial complex that eisenhower warned us about, what with their pernicious influence, in referencing another onion article, but it doesn’t quite fit does it? That’s a satire article, a joke, so don’t pretend to get offended under false pretense.

    Electing our judges and politicians gives us a chance to take them back, giving that power to politicians and their appointees is surrendering it. We are so far passed where we can trust the system. So far.






  • Ink. I learned to fool it to print black and white when a color is out, the colors leak even though I never use them, by putting electrical tape over the clear window on the color cartridges. Brother knows something is up but still prints the black and white with that trick, a firmware update at one point prevented all of their printers from printing black and white if the color was out because they were concerned that you got the best possible service from your machine.

    But it just doesn’t print, idk, it takes and hour or two of factory resets and swearing and repeating actions to get it to print. Bought in maybe 2017.






  • It is kind of humorous that Lemmy chose to Fashion themselves after lemmings, everybody else is using like birds of prey, usually the biggest ones like eagles, but sometimes like wolves, lions, tigers, but nope, we choose the humble rodent the lemming known for running off of cliffs which I hear is not actually all that true.






  • You are correct there are multiple ways to preserve foods, and sugar is one, as it’s hyrdroscopic (edit, Hygroscopic I think not hydro-,) it grabs all the water so bacteria can’t use it, same as salt does. Vinegar is another. Pressure cooking, 15 pounds for an hour and a half, does the trick. The older way, tyndallization, which Pasteur (and koch, of germany) popularized, before pressure cookers existed, when they definitively proved germ theory to the legions of dumb motherfuckers believing in spontaneous generation, is to heat something to boiling for an hour or so, covered, let it sit for a day, do it again, then another day and another boil, and it kills any hardy bacteria in it. Not quite as reliably as pressure cookers however.

    The best way to pressure cook combines both methods for dry goods, you soak them for a day, letting anything growing in them sprout, boil it for long enough to soak up the water level you want in them, dry it out, then pressure cook the next day.

    This is a well fleshed out process.



  • Good god man, a single teaspoon in my tea is too much. If I do super strong tea or coffee, like 3 tea bags in a half cup, mixed with half whole milk, a full teaspoon is about right to taste.

    10 is just too much, it’s horrible for you too, even if you don’t get diabetes, it crashes your energy level, cut it out for a couple of weeks then get a big dose of sugar and you will see what it does to you.
