It’s not even about oil either - it’s mainly about unregulated capitalism. We’ve created vast oceans of plastic junk because people are lazy and want the cheapest things in the world. I guess it really is a government by the people and for the people.

I’m in the process of trying to get rid of as much plastic from my life as possible. I hate this shit.

What’s the difference between caching online data and “local first”?

It does work offline AFAIK. What does it not do that you want it to do?

What’s causing the most headache for you?

Why not just use the C ABI?

And what libraries are you referring to? Almost all the ones I’ve used have fantastic docs.

The teacher didn’t forget

I don’t get it. Screw worms devouring animals alive is extremely painful, so we should eradicate them? The process of any animal eating another is basically always excruciating and fucked up.

We should give people tax breaks if they vote.

I was interested in the source for 38 here:

Using mild soap on well-seasoned cast-iron cookware will not damage the seasoning.[37] This is not because modern soaps are gentler than older soaps.[38]

It was just an article that said

Many sources explain that soap is OK because today’s dish soap (like our favorite from Mrs. Meyer’s) is gentler than it used to be. That may be true, but it’s not really the point. Once your pan is well seasoned, a little dish soap isn’t going to make a difference.

Pretty sad excuse for a source. Not even sure what that’s supposed to mean. Why is that not the point?

AFAIK the issue was soap used to contain lye which would destroy the seasoning. That’s a huge difference from modern soap.

Why would they even default to talking about volume here anyway. Makes no sense.

Hmm, I never heard this misconception before, so for me it was pretty unsurprising. Cooking meat at extremely hot temperatures causes it to lose moisture.

Because I want to read it?

Edit: oh, oh I see.

What’s the name of the story?

Those people are dumb and weird.

People putting out buckets of candy for Halloween instead of handing it out at the door. No more social interaction or tradition. Just grab free candy and go.

It’s insane to me that people actually have plastic kettles.

I think the goal is they can replace cars a ton of the time for a ton of people. Take the train to work and then rent a car for the occasional road trip.

How does Newpipe work then?

Isn’t Signal E2E encrypted? How would it be able to decrypt them?
