    The Dem establishment will obviously blame anyone but themselves. That’s what establishments do. That’s why, assuming there are still free and fair elections in America in two years time, left wing voters in the US need to start planning now how they’re going to primary out every last establishment Dem who thought that leaning right was the answer, and replace them with people who do believe in real progressive politics.

    It won’t work everywhere. It can’t. And some of those people will inevitably get caught up in the machine, or turn out not to be what they claimed. Reality is messy. But get enough of them in and you can make a real difference. The mid-terms are the American left’s opportunity to do what the right did in 2010.

    But at the end of the day none of this matters, because we’re just two outsiders pontificating over another country’s politics. Despite how deeply those politics affect the whole world, there’s nothing we can actually do about it, other than focusing on what we can do in our own back yards.

    So, it was worth Trump getting a second term in order for you to maintain your moral purity?

    Listen, fuck Harris and every other Dem who failed to condemn the war in Gaza, they all deserve to burn in hell for that.

    But did you really get what you wanted out of this?

    For anyone looking for a cheap home made jerky method that can be done in regular bog standard oven, try this pork teriyaki jerky method. It’s super simple, and requires no equipment.

    Edit: Also, keep that bit about pork tenderloin to yourselves OK? Definitely don’t let anyone know that it’s a ridiculously cheap cut that you can use to make an absolutely delicious Pork Wellington (definitely don’t look up Alton Brown’s recipe for it). And certainly don’t let anyone know that if you put it in a sous vide with a little olive oil in the bag, it comes out as one of the juciest, most tender cuts of meat you’ve ever eaten in your life, for less than the price of the cheapest, toughest shoe-leather steaks they sell at the grocery store. Everyone is sleeping on this incredible cut of meat, and I would very much like to keep it that way.


  • Yeah, the trick with both liquid smoke and fish sauce is to use way less than you think you need. You’ll notice I’m only putting a teaspoon in about a full cup of marinade, and that’s enough to give a very distinctly smoky flavour. You can easily cut that back to a half or quarter teaspoon if you prefer it more subtle.

    For fish sauce, I’m going to start out with the same kind of measures. I’ll probably go with 1tsp and then adjust up or down from there. If you can taste the fish sauce in the finished product you’ve used too much. And yes, brand absolutely matters. I only ever use Squid brand fish sauce personally.

    I’ve got a big old bowl of freshly cut eye of round from my local butcher marinading in the fridge right now. Tomorrow it’ll go in the dehydrator (I’m lucky enough to have one built into my oven. I’m also very lucky to have a local butcher. Sadly not something most people have access to).

    My current marinade is as follows:

    • ¼ cup dark soy
    • ¼ cup light soy
    • ¼ cup water
    • 2tbsp maple syrup
    • 2tbsp worcestershire sauce
    • 1tsp liquid smoke
    • LOTS of cracked black pepper

    Optionally, add red pepper flake for a little spice. You can also up the amount of worcestershire if you like.

    For my next batch I want to try adding a little fish sauce and MSG to really up the umami.

    Also, I really like how making your own jerky allows you to control the grain pattern. I don’t mind a little chew to mine, but my wife likes it to come apart nice and easy so for her I cut across the grain. I have a vacuum sealer that I got on clearance, so I’ll batch up little packets of jerky for her to take into the field. It’s so much better than the jerky she gets in her issued rations.

    Sadly, finding the time and energy to do stuff like this can be a challenge. I’m fortunate in that I work from home, so I can throw this stuff in the oven before my day starts and then just pull it when it’s done.







  • I’ll admit, as neat as this is, I’m a little unclear on the use case? Are there really situations where it’s easier to get a command prompt than it is to open a webpage?

    The CLI side I can see more use for since that does expose a lot of actions to bash scripting, which could be neat. But on the whole I can’t say I’ve ever really found myself thinking “Man, I really wish I had a UI for managing Radarr, a program that already includes a really good UI.”

    I know it’s shitty to hate on something just because you’re not the target for it. That’s not my intent, it’s more that I’m just fascinated by the question of how anyone has a burning need for this? It feels like there must be something I’m missing here.






  • I specifically recommend Firefox because Google’s recent changes (depreciating manifest v2) will make UBO less and less effective over time on any Chromium based browser (which is basically every browser you’ve heard of that isn’t Firefox). So if you want the best ad blocking experience, Firefox is the only real option going forward.
