Is ice cream becoming too soft?
  • Copious amounts of gums and max overruns (adding air) together result in softer texture when frozen, which the average consumer likes, and higher yields, which the producer likes.

    Essentially you're buying 40% air with most brands, and the other 60% is not entirely cream & sugar & flavors. Try gelato or a local producer.

  • Is there a way to check out insane platforms like Telegram and TruthSocial without using their app?
  • I'm not in part of the world where telegram is more commonplace but from an outside prospective I've always kind of held the opinion it's more for fringe groups and users who have reasons to hide their conversations. Thinking back that may be largely due to the lack of moderation and it being mentioned in the same sentence as some illegal activities. I can't say whether any of this is true but my uninformed opinion is built upon its association with other unsavory parts of the internet, real or not.

    Sounds like they have a nazi bar problem, and their actions welcome it. No thanks.

  • Do you value high fidelity (audio, visual, or other)? Do you notice a difference?
  • Our car has an awful sound system. I swear there are frequencies simply missing, and that transforms music in ways that are impossible to miss.

    Or one would think, but my spouse doesn't care at all. I offered to go through the trouble of upgrading the entire thing -- receiver, dsp, amp, speakers, adding a sub -- but they said no, why bother? Almost makes me weep when some of my favorites play on the radio.

  • Your TV set has become a digital billboard. And it’s only getting worse.
  • Pi Hole successfully blocks all that.

    Note I have my router redirecting all requests to port 53 (DNS) to the pi hole for those things that don't obey the DHCP DNS. Not sure if Roku is one of those offenders, but I haven't seen a Roku ad in years.

  • Election deniers just scored a major win in Arizona’s biggest county
  • Summary: the Maricopa County Clerk, the person who runs elections among other things, lost his primary reelection. While a Republican he was a defender of the legitimacy of the 2020 election. His winning opponent, on the other hand, has been an election denier.
