Yeah that’s it! He rules. I’ll go, “wow a 1 hour video about a refrigerator?” and then sit there glued to the screen as that hour flies by. He’s like the bill nye of appliances. All the dishwasher videos are great too.

I am become joker, understander of society

i cannot for the life of me think of the channel name at the moment but there’s this rad nerd on youtube with a video about the popcorn function on microwaves. A lot of them are just time-based but sometimes they have hygrometers and register the burst of steam emitted from a bag of microwave popcorn when it’s almost finished and fancier ones sometimes even have microphones that listen for the slow down in pop-timing! But more to your point I’ve also always had bad luck defrosting stuff with any of the presets, i totally admit i could experiment more though and I’m sure i’d have greater success.

cold turkey

very reasonable! just make sure it stays that way until you’re ready to cook it

(I agree, i think that last visit truly-permanently-for-real-this-time cemented it for me as the same)

For sure, the fridge is normally best-practice when you plan for it, otherwise a vessel of cool water with the sink on a trickle (as is commonly required by health departments). But bafflingly there is a sizeable number of people just tossing some meat on the table the night before and cooking it when they get home from work the next day.

Maybe these redditors have seen something like that and think it’s the same thing

Save your generosity! Many replies i read were definitely people without any understanding of the temperature range within which foodborne bacteria thrive and were under the impression that specifically AMERICAN meat is somehow of such incredible quality that you can leave a raw chicken out until the center is thawed, at which point the outside is of course room temperature, and it’s totally good, or that fda guidelines are infringing on their god given right to consume/feed their family spoiling meat. Another contingent of posters (of significant overlap) did not understand that toxins produced by bacteria are not destroyed by cooking in the same way that bacteria may be.

Checked reddit for a sec yesterday, i don’t know why, and i was immediately captivated by a thread of someone earnestly asking if it was safe to thaw frozen meat by leaving it at room temp for 10 hours followed by like, conservatively, two thousand people totally united in their stance of “fucking duh moron of course you thaw meat by leaving it out forever, how else would anyone do it?” and lambasting anyone who thaws meat in the sink because it wastes five trillion gallons of water a minute because faucets are not capable of adjustable flow rates and by the way running your faucet is the principle cause of climate change. Also anyone who disagrees probably just has a WEAK gut biome, which is also obviously their own fault. A dozen instances of people telling others to kill themselves in defense of not understanding possibly the most basic food safety guideline ouside of “do not eat actual literal feces” lmao. Incredible brains we have in this country. With an evidently sizeable portion of the population consistently inflicting food poisoning on themselves out of willful and prideful ignorance it’s no wonder the toilets are skibidi. This post sucks i need to never visit that site again, thanks for allowing me to disperse my psychic damage, amen.

gosh, this is way too accurate a summary for me to not be mad

hemp wick flag so i can cut strips as needed and corner my bowl with maximal efficiency

🎆🎆

it was almost comically hard to find a gif of the flag burning

lmao agreed. definitely not anywhere near as good but here’s a website i just found of ai herzog and ai zizek having an endless conversation that amused me for several minutes.

River hammock vibes are impossible to beat

Here’s a real nice song i just heard

I’ll put it on google drive if you want, it’s like 150mb.

Werner Herzog: [On the jungle] Kinski always says it’s full of erotic elements. I don’t see it so much erotic. I see it more full of obscenity. It’s just - Nature here is vile and base. I wouldn’t see anything erotical here. I would see fornication and asphyxiation and choking and fighting for survival and… growing and… just rotting away. Of course, there’s a lot of misery. But it is the same misery that is all around us. The trees here are in misery, and the birds are in misery. I don’t think they - they sing. They just screech in pain. It’s an unfinished country. It’s still prehistorical. The only thing that is lacking is - is the dinosaurs here. It’s like a curse weighing on an entire landscape. And whoever… goes too deep into this has his share of this curse. So we are cursed with what we are doing here. It’s a land that God, if he exists has - has created in anger. It’s the only land where - where creation is unfinished yet. Taking a close look at - at what’s around us there - there is some sort of a harmony. It is the harmony of… overwhelming and collective murder. And we in comparison to the articulate vileness and baseness and obscenity of all this jungle - Uh, we in comparison to that enormous articulation - we only sound and look like badly pronounced and half-finished sentences out of a stupid suburban… novel… a cheap novel. We have to become humble in front of this overwhelming misery and overwhelming fornication… overwhelming growth and overwhelming lack of order. Even the - the stars up here in the - in the sky look like a mess. There is no harmony in the universe. We have to get acquainted to this idea that there is no real harmony as we have conceived it. But when I say this, I say this all full of admiration for the jungle. It is not that I hate it, I love it. I love it very much. But I love it against my better judgment.

Hey thanks!

The project they put me on concluded like two days after i finished the training (lmao) so now I’m waiting to be reassigned but hey i made $70 on the assessment tasks!

Good shit though, also I’ve never done a job that made me feel like I’m taking part in some cosmic eldritch ritual beyond my understanding quite like this one

No problemo, happy to share!

I’ve been learning little bits about the deep fungal mysteries and there’s so much cool stuff happening with our freaky little not-animal not-plant disturbingly genetic overlap with humans buddies!
