If you buy dried bean and Lentils you won’t have to pay for shit, its a byproduct.

- Comment on Some things were better in the good old days 1 month ago:
The big thing you and a lot of posters are missing is what happens when those parts aren’t made anymore. With a standard motor that uses a start capacitor, you can get that cap or motor as a generic part or from another manufacturer, if your modern appliance eats its vfd board now, you can replace it for $$$. If it dies in 8 years, its probably already been discontinued and you are sol even if you wanted to pay for it.
- Comment on Some things were better in the good old days 1 month ago:
Thanks to better manufacturing techniques, engineering analysis, and the fine humans in management, we have gotten really good at barely building a machine that lasts just long enough to be out of warranty.
- Comment on Did you do this at your highschool? 1 month ago:
These are both awful things to do but I was a really shitty person in highschool.
We would stretch clear plastic wrap between two lamp posts or signposts across a road in our neighborhood at night and hide in the bushes. When a car drove up, it would vaguely look like another car was on the other side because their lights would reflect off the plastic wrap so they would stop and then get out and rip the plastic wrap down of just drive through it.
The other thing we would do was to take a strip of duct tape and string it sticky side up on the road so when a car would drive by, it would stick to their tires and make it sound like a flat tire.
Kids are dumb.

The tires start out hard, then get soft and greasy before they get cooked. The Ferrari f1 team is drooling though.

I wish I could grow zucchini/squash. Iirc, there is some endemic soil fungus in the Texas/Gulf Coast are that kills them. That and snails/slugs… I have never gotten anything except flor de calabaza and then the plant dies.
- Comment on Don't text me when i'm alkylating shit 2 months ago:
The alkalation unit in chemical plants and refineries is the place where the most human melting could occur in an emergency. Scary as hell. Basically you have to wear a moon suit if you even look at the border between that unit and the rest of the plant.

Ford in the 00s used 7mm head bolts on their coil packs iirc, right next to sae fasteners… I will never understand that.

Anthony (Ghandi/the brother) has a D&D podcast called Dungeons and Daddies (not a bdsm podcast) that is also excellent.
- Comment on Quidk! I need a chili recipe. What would you add to a pound of hamburger, diced jalapenos, chili powder and bloody mary mix? 2 months ago:
Careful, thats region dependent. You’re likely to get attacked if you add beans to chili in some parts.
- Comment on What else can we do with sugar (sucrose)? 2 months ago:
Iirc, that is one of the major ways that Brazil produces bio-ethanol, a lot of it was from the waste products too. It’s been a while but I think the energy density vs ag production cost is also higher vs corn. You can then used the remnants from that for biomass pellet production for essentially full cycle use. You get the sugar, ethanol, then either fertilizer/biochar or biomass pellets for energry production.
- Comment on What do you recommend I carry in my first wallet? 3 months ago:
Make sure you get a good one with multiple fold out compartments too, maximum leather. Bonus if it’s ostrich skin or crock skin to really bulk up the wallet.

Good Eats radicalized me too. Not for plex but for cooking.

The danger of most things that explode, goes away once they explode.
- Comment on Kids would encourage parents to get gas here so they could see the dinosaurs 4 months ago:
It also doesn’t really matter, those gas stations still exist in Colorado and they still have the big fiberglass dinosaurs hanging out. That picture could have been taken recently and still been roughly the same.

- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 4 months ago:
The containerized strikes Ukraine has done from inside russia have been particularly scary. They basically setup manufacturing cells in country, built the drones, drove to the launch sites, and launched with no one noticing. The U.S. has minimal counters to those types of attacks assuming you don’t catch them in advance. There have been reports for years about drones entering sensitive restricted airspace and just kind of flying around until the operators decide to leave.
When you start getting into ballistic missile defence and the larger one way drones, you realize that a proper coastal defence or even hvt defence on the homefront is woefully inadequate. I won’t say we need to spend more on that stuff because to do it properly would be in the high trillions. I will say we should be able to develop and field that tech in reasonable numbers given our current military spending. Buuuuuuuut, the best way to avoid needing that is to not be a country that everyone hates…
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 4 months ago:
The U.S. military really needs a wakeup call about drones but I think when that happens, its gonna be real bad news for wherever it came from or the scapegoat for it. To be clear, even in light of this, I don’t want to see people killed, on either side of this but the preparation that the U.S. military has for a drone war is woefully inadequate.
Look at the action taken against Iran, that’s a biiiiiiig deal too. Short of a nuke, there isn’t a much more exotic strike package than what was used against them.

- Comment on How often do you change your towels? 4 months ago:
I loathe newly purchased towels, they always feel like they don’t dry well for a while. I typically wash/swap every 4 or so days. We also “strip” our towells with a deep clean like every couple months.
