  • Are you talking about Dr Bronns, which also comes with large amounts of reading material printed all over the bottle?

  • For the Shin brand specifically, I like:

    • Poached (2 minute boil) or soft boiled egg (6 minute boil)
    • Frozen edamame (cooks in the broth in the same amount of time as the noodles)
    • Fresh garlic (micro plane or mince and add to the broth towards the end of the cook)
    • Baby bok choy (if cut into individual leaves, cooks in broth in same time as noodles)
    • Shitake mushrooms (fresh, sliced, quick stir fry in the pot with butter or something to cook before adding water for the broth)
    • Kimchi (just dump on top of the finished bowl as a garnish)
    • Scallions (slice and put on finished bowl)

    I usually only do one or two of these, but the point is to make it way better without actually adding to the cooking time. And the combinations of the above can work pretty well at mixing things up for a long time before getting bored.

    Other ramen flavors, I sometimes add some of the above, or shredded cabbage, spinach, peas, other beans or legumes. Sometimes nori, canned corn, canned bamboo. Sometimes with the broth I'll add gelatin to thicken. For some seafood flavors I might throw in frozen shrimp. Certain flavors can go with sesame seeds.

  • Attention seeking and validation seeking are baked into human personalities to varying degrees, and plenty of behavior predating social media (and even the internet) was motivated by those tendencies.

  • You're making the common mistake of believing that newcomers are somehow dumber than the ones who have been here a while.

    No, Lemmy/piefed has a deep user base of people knowledgeable about Linux, programming, Star Wars, and a few other topics, but plenty of other topics still leave a lot to be desired.

    For example, I've noticed that Lemmy's userbase is probably below the internet average at picking up on satire and sarcasm.

  • So yeah, that's a lot of birds early on in the song. But I have to know, for the humans being gifted toward the end of the song: are they like performers you can hire for a single day? Or are they...slaves?

  • That's definitely the clickhole logo in the cropped watermark, intended to be pure satire.

  • It would be a better metaphor if it were filled with profile pictures of beautiful people, but where the claw simply can't grab individual flat photos like that.

  • It describes something going to a location, but not what you do.

    Going to that location is a much bigger part of the astronaut job than it is any other job you've listed.

  • Lots of people swear by lots of things when it comes to cast iron. There's a lot of confidently stated incorrect information about cast iron all over the internet, which gets repeated by commenters in places like reddit.

    It's like when people swore by flaxseed oil, which makes for a pretty seasoning that flakes off easily and is actually a terrible choice for cooking.

    Or all sorts of old wives tales about not using detergent, or using chain mail instead of a regular scrubber, or avoiding metal utensils. There's a ton of misinformation out there that doesn't hold up to real experience (and often traces back to vibes, not science).

    Plenty of people have sanded their lodge pans with no issues. I personally haven't, but mainly because I don't care enough about the smooth surface.

  • I don't see why the seasoning wouldn't stick with a smooth surface over a pebbled surface, though. The polymerization should happen at the surface no matter what.

  • Go to space

  • So saith the Lord (Lord is short for lordosis).

  • South Park did it.

  • In 2001? As I remember that song didn't become a dominant Christmas song until Love Actually came out in 2003, and still took a few years before it became the single most popular Christmas song on the radio, first reaching number 1 in 2019.

    As of this picture nobody (including Mariah Carey) had any idea what that song would become.

  • some can be toxic if you dont prepare it correctly though right?

    This is true of many different types of foods.

  • Once you understand the building blocks, baking is pretty accommodating of improvisation. It's just the time delay between the step you take (before baking) and the consequences of that variation being apparent (after baking) makes it harder to iterate as you learn, without good memory/record keeping of what makes things different.

    And baking has a ton of ingredients doing multiple jobs. Sugar is a sweetener, yes, but it also softens up the finished product, retains moisture, promotes browning, and changes yeast behavior. Understanding that each lever might do multiple things makes it a little bit more restricted on improvising, but there are still quite a few things you can do along different dimensions.

    But if you take a chocolate chip cookie recipe and run through a bunch of variations, you'll slowly internalize the effects of the different options, and will start to see and understand how each step looks within that variation. Yeah, a scale makes precise ratios easier, but plenty of bakers have learned how to make bread or cookies or cake through look and feel, without precise measurements, by just reading the feedback from the dough or batter or other intermediate steps.

    In other words, it's a bit more work to get there but once you're there you can wing it with baking too.

  • Generally speaking, health insurance through employment are priced at 3 levels of service:

    1. Self
    2. Self plus one
    3. Entire household

    Generally speaking, each additional person is cheaper than the last additional person. So option 3 is almost always the cheapest per person, with option 2 being pretty cheap per person, and option 1 being the most expensive per person.

    That fact is obscured by the fact that generally speaking, employers only give a diminishing subsidy so that they're covering less and less as you add more people to the plan.

    So if option 1 is $250, and option 2 is $400, and option 3 is $500, maybe the employer will contribute $200 for option 1, $250 for option 2, and $300 for option 3 so that your portion of the premium is $50, $150, and $200.

    Also the reason why insurance is cheaper per person when a bunch of people bundle together is because there's less risk of each covered person being really sick, and more likely that it's just one person in the family who needs a bunch of treatment, so the higher out of pocket max tends to make the per-person cost cheaper for the insurance company, and therefore for the person paying premiums.

  • The biggest tell is that it's a chonky Mαcbook. And in real life the costume would just be gloves instead of whatever hands there are.
