I checked MAM, it’s not listed. They have a 2022 book by the same name, different author.

Omg same. I have been burnt so many times on “lifetime” scams, im done. I want to invest in your product, but part of that agreement is you doing what you say. I’ve had it!

In other news, water is wet and the sky is blue…

If you’re that dumb, it’s natural selection at that point.

Sounds like that’s the way I’ll have to go. Unfortunate, I hate increased layers of complexity, but I think that’s the move.

Yeah when I worked at BioWare we would do things gradually, then I moved to EA Mobile and staging and testing was like a foreign concept. It was wild. Fortunately that changed, but having a staging instance is really really important, as I’m sure many people now realize. Sometimes lessons are hard. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Ooo a pihole! That’s on the list.

It sounds exactly like a Microsoft fix.

Just imagine if it’s a build farm with hundreds of machines. Jesus. That’s a hell I wouldn’t even wish on my worst enemy.

That might be what I’ll have to do.

That sounds ideal, but I don’t currently have the resources to set up a home network. :⁠-⁠\

Right, it’s like the commentor above asking why I would use a private dns. Check the logs. I posted a screenshot above. A private dns is a great tool.

A mvno is a Mobile Virtual Network Operator, thus MVNO. They don’t own the network, they lease it.

I use a private dns for privacy. I don’t like my data and metrics being shared without my consent. It also blocks ads. Win win

edit: they had some sort of billing issue with me where my bill was consistently 40-50+ bucks over what it should be. So it would be correct one month then the next it would be like 200 bucks and back and forth. When I called, the garbage support had zero clue, and now that I have cancelled, they say they owe me 40 bucks. When I went to pay my bill, it was always 2 payments. Why? I called, again no clue. They did away with Google pass, well you want to know what they also did away with? The insurance on my phone and didn’t tell me. So with i needed it, I was not insured. Cool. Hard pass for me.

Edit: here’s an example of why a private dns is useful:

I used to work at video game company and Joplin was the code name for one of our projects, so now every time I see that word, I instantly think of that game. I think it was dragon age lol. Anyway, if I can get past that PTSD I might check out this editor! lol /s

For anyone who didn’t know about ed, such as I did not: https://linux.die.net/man/1/ed

Ooo vi how fancy! (The jealous inner dialogue wishing I knew more vi commands) 😝🤣

edit: it’s like when you’re programming and you need to use regex, but like you don’t know it, but you should, and you need help from that “one person that KNOWS regex”. That feeling. I need to get that regex card game and play that vi adventures game. lol

edit2: I actually love vim it’s a good tool

Awe I’m on SNAP. You’re right, you don’t get a lot and it is complicated AF. I downloaded your cookbook. Thank you. The recipes look great!

I had a whole post typed up but my app crashed. Lol.

America’s Test Kitchen has a video on this and it’s pretty interesting: https://youtube.com/watch?v=rzL07v6w8AA

At 2:12 she caramelizes onions in a pan. I like ATK because they explain the science behind it.

edit: I’d suggest watching the whole video because it’s pretty dang interesting. Hope this helps! :⁠-⁠)

Lye would only be used in the soponification of oil in hard or bar soap. Sodium hydroxide is used for soft soap. So if that’s something you’re looking for, I’d recommend Dr. Bronzer’s Sal Suds. It’s specially made for dishes and laundry as the reaction is 1:1. This is in contrast to bath products (ie bar soap or liquid soap, not like dove but like ones you could get at the farmer’s market, etc), which do something called super fatting. Super fatting is an out of balance reaction, leaving some unsuponified left over oil for moisturizing. Sometimes, laundry bars and KOH soft soap can even have a reaction that would leave a very small bit of lye or Sodium hydroxide unreacted for cleaning purposes, only sometimes. That’s why it’s not recommended to use them in the shower as they can be drying on the skin.

I realize you’re referring to detergents in your post, but I thought I’d clear that up. I make soap. Lol.

Dr. Bronzer’s Sal Suds is pretty great and it has a very subtle pine smell that doesn’t stick around.

edit: clarification

As if the labeling on the product wasn’t enough to warn the person it was spicy… What’s next, a ban on chili peppers? Does that need a label and a ban too? Lol I find this very silly, but I also eat Serrano peppers almost every day.
