LocalSend is pretty good

Wait til they find out the fridges were Iran playing nice and if they keep fucking around they’re gonna find out what missiles feel like too.

I’m not really a strict recipe person. I have like general things I’ll do but I mix it up and just kinda use what I have laying around. The Chinese chilli sauce i mentioned I’m just realizing is Thai not Chinese. Since I checked the back lol. It’s Ox Brand Ground Red Chili Sauce. It’s like ground up chilis and still has the seeds. I just let it bake into a crust on the chicken since all the water evaporates. If you were doing like a chicken thigh for example I’d get the sauce under the skin before baking it. Then on the skin just add a tad more. Like a glaze. The sweet and sour sauce depends if your big on sweetness or not. It’s more like an on the side at the end thing. So like I’ll do that stuff but then I’m also just kinda tossing whatever spices I have around on there too.

Another thing you can do that is really good is go to an asian foods market and see if you can find fresh red chilis. They will sell big bags of them. Then you can freeze those and cut them up as needed. Then toss them into some hot oil (like a neutral oil) to make a nice hot chili oil. Which can be used on lots of stuff. Try to find things that look like this:

If you want the Thai Red Curry powder I mentioned you can try this. It’s very good.

Basically any of these spices/sauces will make chicken taste great. But be aware I’m a big fan of spicy so some of this stuff is too spicy for a lot of people. I’m not really able to gauge what is super spicy and what isn’t. I will eat something and not even think its spicy then someone else is acting like they’re gonna die. And even to me the fresh chinese red chilis are noticably spicy. The others not so much.

Edit to say I looked it up and I think the Chilis I get are called Thai Bird’s Eye Chilis.

Hey, I’m Gen Z. Not everyone here is older. I do cook. Quite well. I can be a bit lazy tho and I’m poor. So it’s simple cheap stuff usually. I like to get chicken or pork, put some chinese chilli sauce on it, and bake it until its crispy. Then maybe some sweet and sour on top. Another good simple sauce is soy sauce mixed with peanut butter and heated and stirred a bit. Rice with some yellow curry powder, msg, and dried onion/carrots while its cooking, then adding the juices from whatever meat you cooked at the end is pretty good. Red Thai Curry powder is also great and can go on almost anything. A lot of my diet is just whatever meat cuts are dirt cheap (usually chicken quarters or pork half loin), rice, potatoes, beans, and other dirt cheap stuff.

Edit: Also, for the time aspect. It’s good to find meals that you can just let cook and don’t need to be watched. Like I can throw chicken thighs in the oven with a potato, leave it at 375F for 1.5 hours then come back and they’re both done and ready to eat. Not need to check on it. I can do other things in the mean time. Like chores. Altho, that specific one only works if you enjoy your chicken cooked to shit which I personally do. I like it cooked so much it falls off the bone.

Also just want to add to your points that the NSA didn’t have to admit they developed this. Putting their name to it basically guaranteed that everyone would pour through the code and assume the worst. So it get hyper scrutinzed. So if they had wanted to put a back door in it they would have released it without saying they made it.

I know you asked about thinkpads but I think you should consider a Latitude 7400. The non 2 in 1 model. It’s got 1 m.2 slot, 2 Sodimm slots, and the back panel comes off in one piece and is easy to get at everything. The downside is the keyboard is hard to replace. It’s one of those built in ones.

I run Debian on it and lock the CPU to 2.5Ghz and below and keep cooling pads in it and its passive. never runs the fan. Has amazing battery life and linux support. (shipped with ubuntu as an option). They’re cheap too. The build quality is really good. It has the barrel charging port, usb c/thunderbolt port, hdmi, 2 USB A, headphone jack, micro usb reader, sim card slot, smart card reader for ports. Plus the trackpad actually has buttons which I like. I don’t like the tapping that’s become common now. The webcam has a physical shutter you can slide over it too. Overall a nice little laptop once you tweak it a bit.

You didn’t give enough info for me to know what happened but generally imo Windows is harder than Linux. Full disk encryption really isn’t needed for most people. What you should do is HOME encryption. Or have a 2nd partition on your ssd that you keep sensetive things in and is encrypted and you keep that unmounted when not using it.

We know for a fact that humans think and feel, even if not on our level, and we still have no qualms about eating them.

The US rail network is already kind of a disaster. A lot of major cities don’t even have passenger rail stations at all. There are entire STATES that don’t have a single amtrack station lol.

Honestly it probably would be way less safe because the network of pumps and fans and whatnot that would be needed to keep that tunnel both DRY and oxygenated would be insane. I’m also pretty sure the trains would need to be built like submarines to prevent the atmosphereic pressure from crushing them? Or maybe the tunnel? It honestly seems like an engineering nightmare.

It depends what you mean. Will open source software be less safe comparatively to closed source because of AI? No. Will it be less safe? yes. All software is less safe because of AI. Has nothing to do with open source.

Idk about Obscura VPN personally. Made a post about it here: https://lemmy.ml/post/53749507

Edit: I also find it weird that you include Obscura when you didn’t include Mullvad because Obscura is built on Mullvad lol. It uses Mullvad servers.

Pretty sure back then the definition of men included male children 14+ tho didn’t it?

As horrible as that is I can’t help but think it’s one of the less traumatic things that could have happened. Idk what parent would EVER let their kid go to hollywood and spend a single second without them in the same room watching them. This is the place where Harvey Weinstein reigned as one of the most powerful people around for decades while being a serial rapist. It’s just a cesspool.

I can’t write in cursive either unless adding some fancy squiggles counts. Can’t read it either. And my handwriting is super messy. I’ve had it called doctor handwriting lol.

Physics is literally not correct. We know that to be a fact. We have an approximation of how to calculate certain things, and we have some of the pieces correct, but we have no actual understanding of how things work at a fundamental level. Hence there is no way to rule out anything definitively. Fucking MAGIC could be real under the right circumstances for all we know. It’s UNLIKELY but it is not 100% known to be fake. THe language you used was definitive. That is what I take issue with.

You’ll find in general that smart people very rarely speak in absolutes on things such as this. Because the more you know about something the more you realize how much you don’t know.

Oh look its the physics knower. What do you mean cold fusion isn’t possible? Did you come up with the theory of everything and fail to mention it to the rest of us? We DONT KNOW what is possible. Science is not even 5% of the way towards figuring out the entire universe. Such a definite answer is in no way verifiable. You could say it’s not possible for us to do it right now. That’s true. But saying it’s entirely not possible is about as backed by evidence as your typical religious claim.

Even better a reason to show your kids early they don’t have to do it to begin with.

honestly what you’ve done is what I did too and its not that big of a deal imo. Once you adjust to it. I’d challenge your kids to like take a “cleanse” from social media for example as a family. Maybe go on a camping trip and use 0 tech the entire time. See how they like it. Sometimes people don’t even realize how tech changes their lives until they have a moment away from it.
