A sad reminder that the MAGA wing of the Republican party continues to be against most anything that can actually help turn around climate change.

Yes, and? I'm a moderator in a different community. That's different from being on the admin team (admins have many powers mods do not) and I'm not a moderator here which gives me no special options compared to any other user.

So many, many choices.

I think my all-time dumbest came when I was about 22, so it doesn't fit here. In my teens...probably driving drunk at speeds up to 100mph on the mountain roads up above Pasadena with the headlights off at night.

 

Actual evidence from actual scientists.

I tend to wing it a lot with stew-ish things. Here's one set of rough instructions:

  • Saute any combo of mushrooms/onions/garlic/cherry tomatoes/peppers in olive oil
  • Add 3 cups water/vegetable broth, bring to boil
  • Stir in 1 cup green lentils/red lentils/yellow split peas/green split peas, stir as it comes back to a boil
  • Season with salt/pepper/smoke seasoning/chili/whatever looks good
  • Simmer 15-30 minutes till done

Freezes fine, though I usually eat it before it makes it to the freezer

There are some of us here who are not part of the admin team and yet would prefer to discuss the original topic, not your argumentative posts about moderation. Well, at least one of us.

 

Well at least:

Generally depressing societal news.

Terrifying. I worry enough about chipping my teeth on things like pits as it is.

 

I'll start: pesto as a bagel topping.

 

Good news for photographers

In my opinion it's unreasonable to think anything can truly be deleted in a federated system. Even if the official codebase is updated to do complete deletion & overwrite, it's impossible to prevent some bad actor from federating in a fork that just ignores deletion requests.

Seems sensible to just not post anything that you don't want to be available for the lifetime of the internet.

I would add The Abolition of Work though that might be a controversial choice. Did a lot to get me thinking back in the day, though.
