  • Liar!

    Clearly you just smeared some store bought peanut butter on the blender for clout

    (Seriously tho, it looks delicious)

    Real question. How does one flip small stuff during baking? Your instructions say to flip the peanuts. Lots of baked things are supposed to be flipped halfway through. Flipping peanuts or sweet potato fries is random and haphazard at best. Do you have any techniques that are fast and thorough?

  • I feel like the hungry -> starving process is just a longer version of the thirsty -> dehydrated process

    Does it make a difference that starvation takes longer than dehydration, but both result in eventual death? It takes weeks to die of starvation, it takes days to die of dehydration. Just because one manifests over a longer period of time and has a longer recovery period doesn’t make the other less deadly

    Also, I’m not sure if there are poisons a person can ingest that will strip vital nutrients and push a person into the starvation state (and if the poison does strip vital nutrients, the poisoned person already has bigger problems). But consuming alcohol will push a person into the dehydrated state without killing them.

    What if you compared the effects of dehydration and starvation as they progress, like, mild -> acute -> severe -> terminal?

    • Mild dehydration (day 1) kidneys conserve water, headache, fatigue
    • Mild starvation (week 1) blood sugar drops, liver increases glycogen breakdown, irritability, difficult to concentrate.

    Something like that?

  • My proton account costs less than $80/yr.

    That’s less than $7/mo.

    Considering a person can easily pay $45/mo for multiple services, I’m already ahead.

    You know, once I break even on all of the storage and network equipment I bought for the home lab. Two years . Three, tops. I shouldn’t need to buy any more storage for a long long…

    How have I already used 16TB?

  • Damn. I was only familiar with the Disney Showtune Randy Newman and the Mad TV caricature. This goes hard.

    Also, I hate that “redneck” was stolen by fascist idiots that don’t know the origin of the word and think they are somehow oppressed because there aren’t enough jerbs in the middle of the BFE. My great grandfather was a union man and a socialist. We’re talking late 1800s/early 1900s. He wasn’t a redneck, he was a train engineer, but I guaran-goddamn-tee you he would have parked his train on the picket line and joined the strikers if he lived or worked in that area.

    Also I’m from the BFE, there’s always work if you’re willing to do it. These spoiled shits rolling coal in their lifted Rams wouldn’t know what to do if their government stopped subsidizing the industries they work in. But of course, they deserve it, unlike those DEI immigrant moochers in the city.

    Excuse me, I need to go outside and look at the woods for a bit
