guar gum, xantham gun, locust bean extract, etc - all emulsifers or texture additives used to mask lower product quality and allow more air to be whipped in.

Even the expensive stuff, Ben & Jerrys (sold out to PE a while ago), boutique brands at Whole Foods, and even Kirkland premiun have the same list of bullshit.

The only brand I can reliably find without them is Haagen Dazs.

I make as much as possible to avoid the flavor additives, texture modifiers, and preservatives found in much packaged food.

I make waffles from scratch and freeze them for quick breakfast. Prep large pots of soup, chili, stew, etc and freeze in deli tubs.

But as to who is right? No answer on that. I have built up plenty of cooking experience so things that seem tricky or time consuming to other people don’t faze me.

Not the foot-shooting complexity though, just the extra-power complexity

Just going to throw out that electric heaters are the most expensive/least efficient way to heat electrically.

If you’re in the US, you can get a partial credit for improving windows, doors, and insulation (always the best first step).

You or your landlord can also get up to a $3000 credit toward a central heat pump system, which gives 3-4x the delivered heat for a given amount of electricity.

Thank god, Javascript is a mess.

I’ll still plug Scala for having the beauty of Python, the ecosystem of Java, the correctness of Rust, the concurrency of Go, and the power of Lisp.

The kids on my street do come and knock, but they don’t know what to do then. The just stand there waiting - I’m like “what do you say???”, and they go “uhh, thank you???”

C’mon kids!

Is COBOL subject to buffer overflows and use-after-free bugs? I honestly don’t know.

I don’t recall the COBOL code I’ve read using pointers.

LOL, yeah. Capitalism.

The great socialist countries are way ahead with modular, standardized mobile handset components.

Everyone knows the longest-lived PC bus standards came out of the Soviet Union and North Korea in the 80s.

And large businesses worldwide are still running accounting software on the mainframe architecture China’s government developed in the 60s.

“direct action”, otherwise unspecified. Maybe carrying a sign or blocking traffic will stop imperialism? Maybe stealing the neighbors’ Amazon packages? I don’t know, and I bet he comes up with nothing other than glittering generalities.

[–] aubeynarf@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

can you be more specific than just saying direct action? Like what does this action entail? What do you go out and do?

[–] aubeynarf@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

yeah, that’s basically giving up any power you do have.

let me know how the direct action works out.

lol, right, this is terrorism!

Which ones have you tried, which ones did you stop using, and which ones are the best of the bunch?

I am using Memmy and it’s not quite there - difficult touch targets, poor infinite scroll implementation, and crashy search are the big issues.

EDIT: I installed Voyager, it’s working great! Thanks for the suggestions!
