- Comment on How come they don't do a cooking show for poor or middle class people? Something that is under 10 bucks that will last a couple days and be great. 33 minutes ago:
yes absolutely! but sometimes i have the impression that there is a intergenerational rupture such that the grandparents technically knew these recipes, but this knowledge did not get passed on to the parents’ generation. so depending on your age there maybe one or even two generations which just don’t know these recipes, hence the reliance on cookbooks, which involves trends, marketing, being fashionable, etc.
(also, lots of old recipes require quite some prep time and/or planning, which is why there used to be different recipes for different days of the week. e.g., Saturday was reserved for washing, with little time for meal prep, so Eintopf it is. i think what I’m getting at is that this kind of cooking is quite different to the modern idea of i can decide on the spot what’s for dinner. the old stuff just doesn’t work that way. sorry for rambling)

if you know what you’re looking for and now how to cook.
one problem i see/have with cookbooks on traditional cuisine is that a lot of the better one focus on traditional sunday roast style fancy recipes (schweinebraten mit kraut und knödeln), and while good they are not cheap. what is more difficult to find is the saisonal poor mans cuisine. except maybe cucina povera from Italy.

There were arsenic in Styria
From the English Wikipedia:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsenic_trioxide?wprov=sfla…
In Austria, there lived the so-called “arsenic eaters of Styria”, who ingested doses far beyond the lethal dose of arsenic trioxide without any apparent harm. Arsenic is thought to enable strenuous work at high altitudes, e.g. in the Alps."
(The German Wikipedia has a whole article on this: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsenikesser?wprov=sfla1)

- Comment on Unfortunately, this is science too. 1 year ago:
well yeah, but there is money in knowing what to avoid. in academia it’s more like “why can’t i reproduce this effect i read about in this fancy paper, am i stupid or what”, when maybe, they just got lucky, or had plenty of very reasonable analysis options to choose from, or simply fudged the numbers. i fear that in much of academia there is a huge incentive to publish at whatever cost
- Comment on Anon studies Buddhism 1 year ago:
Late to the party, and no offence to buddhism, but i always loved this quote from Terry Pratchett
“Master, what is the difference between a humanistic, monastic system of belief in which wisdom is sought by means of an apparently nonsensical system of questions and answers, and a lot of mystic gibberish made up on the spur of the moment?"
Wen considered this for some time, and at last said: “A fish!”
And Clodpool went away, satisfied.” ― Terry Pratchett, Thief of Time
(copies the quote from www.goodreads.com/work/…/46982-thief-of-time?page… but i’m rather sure its correct, so i didn’t check my copy).
- Comment on Seeing a lot of copium but am I fucking crazy? The market would have to do more than just recover for people to recoup their losses? 1 year ago:
yes, generally it’s l/(1-l), where l is the loss (ranging from 0 to 1). Example: if you loose 10%, your portfolio needs to grow 11.11% to compensate just for the loss. go figure how long that is gonna take

i Kind of doubt it. in a video i saw if the process they were using hardfired bricks. i don’t believe any organic compounds would survive the heat.
(dung might be a better term for what you were referring to. i seem to remember that because of the way they feed their cattle the dung has a very high fibre content which makes it a good source for building material. it’s nowhere as gross as the diarrhea like consistency we get from cows in Europe)

- Comment on MDPI 1 year ago:
this is my impression. back when i still was in academia it would pop up from time to time but i never published there since i never cited any of their journals in the first place. (why would one publish there when all your peers are somewhere else). nowadays i sometimes get requests from them to my personal email for special issues which i just ignore. (it’s academic spam essentially).
have a look at retraction watch retractionwatch.com/?s=mdpi
