Qualified disagreement on 2. People vary a lot! But also I think when you salt matters, in cooking, in the 'taste of salt' vs 'heightening other flavors' area.

And some foods you can't really do that with, so maybe they just shouldn't be salted as much.

This was the content I didn't expect but definitely needed today. My reading experience was: is this a Pratchett no kings reference IT IS!

There are so many great versions of that song floating around.

They rise heads up, heads up, heads up, they rise heads up, heads up high!

Damn, that's within driving distance, and my wife tried to talk me into going when I saw this. We just can't, but hopefully someday! I'd love to see a tournament in person. Maybe I can get my kid to go when I do, I started watching SC2 the night she was born, to keep awake while my wife rested.

It's not a permanent fixture, it's a temporary installation during conclaves.

TL;Dr: because it is

I've been wondering what's up with that. It feels sus but I don't see anything. I will admit that space force isn't who I'd expect to be the core vetting of the alt though

Day to day life goes on, because I *don't* have the singular power to fix everything, so it has to. If I give in to despair over my lack of control over bad shit happening and stop functioning, it helps no one and only hurts my family.

I'll protest, and donate, and call my senators, look for ways to make a difference, but I need to build community, go to my book club, manage my health issues, play video games with my kid.

I have the voice screaming 'You need to flee Oklahoma now' but the best I can do is plan to move ASAP.

I keep having to explain to people, that I've had a shift in perspective. I've accepted that the world is going to be bad for a while. I'm not giving up on trying to make it better, but I'm not the protagonist in a movie. My day to day life is taking care of my family, just now in a fascist coup.

One of the guys mentioned was he was a free mason last time and my immediate response was 'Tell me more'.

I think book clubs are a good idea for this over, say, trying to bond over video or tabletop games. If you both enjoy the same books you have better odds of compatible values.

I'm in a book club full of guys. It's a truly great experience. We meet up in a brewery's taproom, talk about the book, then play bar trivia.

We actually talk the book a good bit. Theological discussions are common and chill and include the atheists in the group.

This is in a deeply red state.

I wonder if you were willing to lose speed if you could manage something like a sous vide microwave. Multiple infrared sensors, getting the surface temperature of the food. Bring the surface up to a fixed temp with careful doses of microwave. Then hold it there until it has time to heat through.

One of my favorite games of all time. I recently played the sequel and adore it, I need to give the original a replay, because my recollection has grown hazy enough. I'm a sucker for games that leave you pondering philosophy and feeling BIG feelings.

Sadness. Well, I'd definitely be in the audience if it does!

Wasn't able to attend any protests recently but it's a great feeling. Pride 🌈 is like that too. Living in a deeply red state can be very isolating but we're not alone and that's an amazing feeling.
