Comment on after 40 all meals are horror
ulterno@lemmy.kde.social 2 months agoI think anyone with taste knows that a small non-chain restaurant, stall, or cart will have much better food than some corporate chain crap food made with industrially sourced ‘ingredients.’
With my aversion to food made out in the open, right next to running cars and open-coughing people, I stopped eating from roadside stalls by the time I started having enough autonomy.
I tend to prefer non-chain restaurants with viewable kitchens ^[those places tend to hire cooks who actually mind their coughing], but due to lack of any such desirable place in my area, eating out nearby, usually means subway (which is just, less bad).
Then I realise that with the amount of money I would spend to pay for the cheapest local meal place, I can actually cook with Ghee at home. And that topples the equation over its head.
- Morning: Sandwich in Ghee/butter/peanut oil depending upon the mood
- Afternoon: Fried rice in Ghee
- Evening: Gram/Kidney Beans/Lentils in Ghee, with rice
Definitely not going back to outside food with nobody knows which oil they use.

We try and only eat out as a treat. Almost all of our my meals are eaten at home as we work from home these days. Also, my wife is an amazing cook and her food is better than most restaurants. We usually have leftovers or a sandwich for lunch.
I’m not familiar with your currency symbol? What country do you live in and are the health standards low enough that eating from a stall is a concern? That’s a different situation.
I’m in the US, so food trucks, stalls and gas stations actually have decent standards. (Often, the cleanliness in these places is heads and shoulders above corporate chain places.)
I learned to always check the bathroom of a restaurant. How clean they keep their bathroom tells you a lot about how they keep their kitchen. Small, family run, places tend to have the best food and the cleanest bathrooms, in my experience.

Try
qalc.Arch:
pacman -S libqalculateDebian:apt install qalcRed Hat:yum install qalculateOtherwise: qalculate.github.ioIt’s got both, a terminal frontend and a Qt GUI one. (Actually 3. Also a GTK one)
You can copy the currency text along with the symbol into it and by default, it will convert it to your Locale’s currency, so you can know the exchange rates at least.
Also, ₹2000 - ₹3000 per 8 hour day tends to be what an engineering fresher would normally expect in a place like Delhi, where a Subway sub will cost around ₹400.

Running stock Android on my phone and use Jerboa for Lemmy, my computer is Windows 10 as Linux still is lacking in CAD/CAM. In particular, CAM at a professional level. My home server is running Linux, however. Been playing with Linux for a long time.
Wish Mastercam worked in Linux and I’d happily make the jump.

I really wish this could be fixed.
I have used CAD software quite a bit during my childhood and BTech and realise the great difference between Autodesk tools and OSS Alternatives. While blender has already overtaken their stuff in its domain, I feel the need for an alternative for AutoCAD ^[currently checking out QCAD] that can overthrow its crown. While I can’t expect anything for stuff like ArchiCAD, Revit etc. which would require loads of domain specific knowledge.
Never tried CAM software, but I see 3 OSS ones here, so perhaps you can check out any that you haven’t. I’d be interested in knowing about your exp with these, since I don’t have much to think of how to test those.
qalculate has Windows binaries too
