Guess I’m saving up for a good fillet steak to try this out with.
Maybe mix the honey with water and glaze at the end of cooking - berry wise definitely a compote with black pepper?

Ye gods, I can smell the armour polish AND the cheeto dust in this thread.
The translation holding up is hilarious, it really does and you can hear the emotional damage that causes out there; I do wonder if it struck a genuine nerve.
The amount of “protect the children” out there is also priceless - this is one of the best outrage manufactories I’ve seen in years; I look forward to that outrage fuelling more surveillance laws.

Nice try - you gave the stat; prove it first.

Still waiting on the source of your 50%.

Hang on - so you’re saying that when a billionaire sells something it ceases to exist? Surly not!
You might be suggesting that a billionaire creates jobs that vanish when they leave, however that’s not likely to be the case. Got any data to back that figure up?
- Comment on Gary Stevenson: 'Tax wealth or we'll return to the feudal age' 3 weeks ago:
Hang on…
So most assets are shares and structures. Shares you can sell, but someone still holds them, structures can be sold, but someone still owns them.
If a billionaire left, a fortune in capital gains would be made, the wealth would remain to be taxed from other hands, and that precludes the destination not having a higher wealth tax.

Ooh, this is actually a more controversial take among academics than you can imagine!
Around week 3 of my course I ask the question “what percentage cut do academics get for published articles”. They are always appalled to learn it is 0% (we get nothing, we are literally paid in exposure).
Below are some other issues with the journal industry as a whole:

My mate Anna has a great archive of papers. Look her up some time!
- Comment on Welcome to New York City 5 weeks ago:
Not everyone has a choice sadly - work tends to be in the cities, and prices for a family home in a city are beyond most couples.
So, you’re forced to commute by car.

Fuckcars is leaking again I see!
- Comment on Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero? 1 month ago:
There are a lot of comments here saying “it’s tragic because no-one cared”, but that is misleading as there is now a strong privacy movement l.
I think, without Snowden blowing the whistle, anti-privacy laws would not face such stiff competition.
Yes we’re all fighting a rearguard retreat, but without Snowden’s sacrifice there would be no rearguard and there would be abject surrender rather than retreat.

- Comment on .ml has got to be the only place on earth where I'd get downvoted for a comment like this 2 months ago:
So, I’ve been exploring these comments for the past 30 mins. They honestly make me wonder; are we seeing an echo chamber effect by instance?
Does Lemmy have any tools to count upvote/downvote by user instances, especially by comment layer. I think I want to dive into this rabbit hole.
- Comment on 60% of PC gamers have no plans to build a new PC in the next two years — AI pricing crunch on RAM and other components paralyze enthusiast market 2 months ago:
I mean, I had plans (wanted to invest in a 4tb SSD to run Linux on, push up to a later i7 supported by my board, and upgrade from ddr4 to ddr5), but I no longer have plans due to the madness unleashed by the rampocalypse.
So instead I purchased a pico-calc and am looking at a luckfox-lyra upgrade so I can just enjoy old school games.

Ehh…
Gödel basically showed we can never know which “mathematics” is the “correct one”.
“Proven true assuming my axioms are true” is closer to reality.

- Comment on What would you do? 3 months ago:
A lot of the issue with logic problems is the “common sense” element required. With purely geometric problems, there are less of these to worry about.
Chess problems also work well to teach logical step accusation.
- Comment on What would you do? 3 months ago:
I’m the guy in the background saying “go back to teaching Euclid and proof in schools”, as the real point was to teach logical deduction from established facts.

It’s a fun game for short sessions - you can also drop out mid-mystery and easily pick up again a week later!
