  • yep, that is good to throw in.

    I try to keep these as specific as I can, because as soon as I mention more than one item in the same sentence, the conservative arguing with me is like “so first he reduced inflation, then he also reduced prescription drug prices? which is it? choose one!”

    presidents can actually do more than one thing-

    "Last year biden said he was 80!

    this year Biden says he’s 81!

    what’s the real number?"


  • High five.

    it seems like Americans watched the South Park episode about Trump and Hillary, assumed it was the factual, comprehensive truth about all politics everywhere forever, and then never looked at any of the facts ever again.

    The democrats reduce inflation.

    The Republicans force women to die in hospital parking lots.

    democrats fund civil rights advocacy groups.

    The Republicans make memes about murdering senators.

    Democrats significantly increase the value of the US dollar and lower unemployment

    The leader of the Republicans is a rapist.




  • The hateful minority have run a campaign championing selfishness and ignorance and the vicarious absolution thereof.

    it’s much easier to be selfish and ignorant than it is to be considerate and responsible.

    conservatives are selfish and ignorant and their party is very successfully campaigning selfishness and ignorance.

    on the other hand, the democrats have to convince people that childish short-term desires are not always the best decision for themselves and others.

    Trump is telling everybody that if you want to steal a cheeseburger from somebody else and eat it, then you should.

    Harris is telling everybody that stealing is wrong and counterproductive, and cheeseburgers are not healthy.

    or, since Trump is a rapist:

    Trump is telling conservatives it’s good to rape people If they want to rape people.

    Harris is telling people that it isn’t good to rape people because it violates their dignity and free will.





  • not so far, it doesn’t look like there are any plans to integrate smart contracts yet.

    they’re still focused on maintaining and further developing the best practical fungible cryptocurrency.

    on-chain smart contracts are a big investment of time, effort and money that don’t seem high on the priority list next to maintaining and improving XMR.

    smart contracts are nice, but they don’t seem functionally necessary or desirable for a currency and could be employed as requested by third parties as effectively as a native implementation.







  • High goddamn five, that sounds fantastic.

    I’ve experimented with fish sauce before, just be real careful because even mixed into a marinade, it’s so strong and distinctive then you can easily pick it out and after a couple tablespoons it’ll completely overwhelm every other flavor.

    I’ll also say get the higher quality fish sauce, it really makes a difference.

    The cheaper fish sauces do not play well with other flavors.

    I don’t like the liquid smoke myself, that usually turns my batches into Walmart jerky territory.

    but I only have ever used q couple kinds and hated them, so I’m sure out of the billion types of liquid smoke there are a couple that are inoffensive.

    and there’s always personal taste.

    what is liquid smoke? is it actual bits of dust?

    yep, it’s little bits of smoke mixed and condensed into a liquid.

    have fun, I hope you have more free time, I agree it’s a lot of fun to make the jerky to specification.
