I think it's still available here

Hello! Yes, we've tried it! It was a Jack Keller recipe that called for 14 jalapenos and some raisins with a bunch of sugar. Fermented fully, but it was too sweet still, I actually found the pepper taste to be nice, but sadly the sugar made it undrinkable. Would make it again with an amended recipe.

The facial expressions and the constant noises. It's like a food dish with too much salt, doesn't matter what the other flavor is once you decide you can't stand the overpowering vibe of the thing.

Packaging should be made to be reusable. Glass jars must have easily removable labels, plastic wrap would only be allowed for sterile equipment, otherwise you have to use paper and other biodegradable materials. Branding would have to be completely removable too. Basically, packaging would remain a product of the state, and would be completely controlled. Corporations would have to pay packaging tax to subsidize control of this.

For twice the price of already exorbitant prices.

I work for an AI company that's dying out. We're trying to charge companies $30k a year and upwards for basically chatgpt plus a few shoddily built integrations. You can build the same things we're doing with Zapier, at around $35 a month. The management are baffled as to why we're not closing any of our deals, and it's SO obvious to me - we're too fucking expensive and there's nothing unique with our service.

I mean... It's kind of a good idea. Ride that 'so fucked it's cool ' wave. Can't wait to watch influencers invest yet again.

No. I did that once (as a middle class person too proud to accept daddy's help) and it was fucking awful. I lasted 8 months before I had to consult Bank of Dad, which I'm pretty impressed by, but everything about it sucked. I would steal loaves of bread from bakeries at 4am, as they'd leave them outside to cool. I'd go to late night chippies and make up stories about being on a great adventure for charity so they'd give me free chips, I'd buy my clothes from a market that sold soiled and ripped clothing donated from fast fashion stores, and I'd hand sew them back to acceptability so I could wear them. We'd dumpster dive, forage, and beg, and it still wasn't enough. Rent started going on credit cards, I discovered new addictions I couldn't afford just to cope with the pain of no heating, shitty food, and a general feeling of desperation. And I had a fucking safety net, I was nowhere near the suffering of most people at this kind of poverty line.

Elon is a rich prick. I got a momentary taste of poverty and it was fucking awful. He would have caved in a day.

Turns out I cannot buy one of those.

[–] Lennnny@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Yeah, other than an upgrade 😄

Steal from them

 

I'm gradually working through my forage wishlist. Next up, persimmons! What's on your wishlist?

 

He was a stray that distributed himself to my friend's house, but they have to do some adjustments so they can keep him isolated from their other cat for a while, so he's on vacation at ours. He's a complete lovebug and total derp.

 

Another first. Will be doing the nibble test tomorrow.

 

I liked the print as it was kinda retro colorful, so I sewed it into a bag with toggle closure and belt loops. The canvas belt is also a revived old belt I got 25 years ago. My mum made me the little labels (I had to edit my name off them for the internet!)

 

Butter and garlic, yep, it's delicious! Don't judge my filthy forager nails lol

 
 

...until recently, ramps (Allium tricoccum) have been a fairytale. I went to Vermont for a trip and my friend showed me her ramps field, although it was summer and they'd all died back to flowers. Well, hiking in an undisclosed location in east Tennessee today, I saw this. I rubbed my fingers on it and... YEP, RAMPS. Further down the trail it got completely boombastic with them. This is a random trailhead off a main road, so I suspect I've got a good chance of snagging a respectable harvest next season. So exciting.

 

The berries are apparently edible though.... lol

 

My 12 year old cat was going crazy by the window, I looked expecting to see a squirrel, and instead saw this pintsized nugget cowering between the glass and the screen. No chip, no snip, covered in fleas, and very hungry. We got her sorted with the routine medicals and brought her home to look after her while we find her forever home. The grumpy old man cat seems to have warmed to her, and I'm REALLY hoping they don't bond because we don't need a fourth!
