I use(d?) DuckDuckGo, but today Bing went down and with it half of the alternative search engines. Kagi was the 1st I encountered, but many heavily criticized it, also it is paid. Currently I test the SearXNG, it seems reasonable, its opensource and self-hostable.
Wow, I did not expect to find a fellow Ted Chiang enjoyer. The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate is one of my favorite.
Meta platforms are down
Meta’s network is down — except for WhatsApp.
The Meta owned platforms are down, forcing some users to log out. Some dispaly error messages.
I don't think it is counts as D sucking of big corp if someone corrects invalid information. There are plenty of bad things corps do, we don't have to fabricate false claims, it's dangerous.
One festiaval I got dressed up as a goth girl for a competition. From that day I truly beleive that skirts are more confortable. Its quite a breez when in the summer heat, the kind wind tickles my jewels ;) Once I left this conservative shithole I call home, I'll invest in some Kilt.
My approach:
- try and error: Just experiment with things, change one single thing and observ what difference it makes (Eg.: season half batch before, half batch after)
- Research on the internet, I mean there are tons of blogs/forums where ppl sharing their experience, just be mindfull, and take everything with a grain of salt (hah!) (Eg.: One anon in reddit collected brownie recips and methodically tested and documneted each approach and what difference it makes, so technically his/her/they recipe is not a single one, but a collection family of recipts where you can choose your desired results)
- Educational-Cooking channels, there are plenty of cooking channels which are showing the underlining science and connections, just to name a few: MinuteFood@yt, aragusea@yt or if you want hardcore data: Talon_Fitness@yt
Nice collecion you have there! Just got my hand on a large cardbox worth of jars. Almost all of them have caps as well. My plan is to slowly clean and fill them up, just like you did! Also I recently found out (by a foodwaste prevention program) that I have plastic-free shop not too far away from me.
Endeavour Os was the best thing I ever used. Easy to install, out of box is minimal but sufficient. I traded my Linux Mint to be able to customize my workflow, look and feel.
