Confirm Java is the best roux one can reasonably get outside of Japan

My additions to the box recipe: I cut the veg a bit smaller, I brown the veg a bit (including potatoes, but you have to have a dry starchy potato type like russet for this to work otherwise precooking it will lead to it just becoming mush during the boil and thickening the sauce), add honey and some kind of neutral hot sauce because Japanese “spicy” is like not even a little spicy. I actually now use one of those ultra extreme spicy 10 billion scoville capsicum extract sauces, literally a few drops in a pot makes it decently spicy and otherwise adds no flavor.

Unless you live alone you might as well make the whole box in one recipe imo. It keeps for several days, reheats easily, and it’s one of those “tastes better day 2 and 3” kind of meals. The only thing is that freezing it doesn’t work so well (sort of). Freezing busts up the cell walls in the potatoes so even if you use a dry starchy potato like above it will turn to mush once you thaw and reheat. It’s not bad, but it does change the texture with a thicker sauce and much less potato “chunks” (some bits usually survive).

The only better thing I’ve found is to make a roux from scratch but honestly it’s not that much better (and probably worse until you dial it in) but a lot more work. The roux is like $4 a box at my local market and making it is like an entire Saturday plus way more money in ingredients especially if you don’t have a well stocked spice rack

“After Donald Trump we will return to the conditions that created Donald Trump”

He also only got out of it by snitching on dealers. He also got a dui during the run of home improvement.

Also, his honest actual name is Tim dick. Allen is his middle name.

that’s true but they’re more expensive, sometimes prohibitively so. If you want an oled panel they’re basically unfeasible, especially if you want a larger panel >55”

Oh okay. Well then rather than buy a 4500 dollar synth I would personally recommend you just get a much much cheaper midi controller and connect to usb to control a VST. There are a bunch with felt pianos l, synthesized and sample based. You can get a midi controller for like $50-100 (or way more if you want a more feature filled one with stuff like weighted keys). If carrying a laptop is bulky you can often do this with a phone/tablet even

You can get https://shop.usa.yamaha.com/en/p/downloadables/sound-expansion-library/synth-voice-libraries/character-pianos-montage for the Yamaha montage. But I assume you know about like, midi and vsts as a significantly cheaper option??

It’s true that things are worse on a cheap tv but even if you buy a $5000+ flagship model it will still have advertising baked into the os

In some cases the ps5 can as well but only older firmwares have the full chain of exploits. That said you can run game backups and if you get an old enough firmware you can even install Linux and run steam games

And data collection. People think they’re good if they just don’t give it personal info but you’re definitely being fingerprinted and tracked. If they haven’t already they’ll eventually partner with meta or google (in the case of Gemini that’s obviously already done) to match any fingerprinting to much denser profiling. Plus they’re designed in a way to encourage you to let your guard down and talk casually, which disarms you and makes it more likely you mention identifying info they can’t determine from IP and fingerprinting.

OpenAI has already added advertisement so this is definitely occurring. No one buys ads in this day and age without robust audience targeting

It’s been ages since I watched Jurassic park but what could the spoiler possibly be? The dinosaurs escape? They have a predictable happy ending and get out okay? It’s a good movie but it’s not really a “plot twist” kind of movie

Someone hasn’t heard of Jimmy saville’s reign of sexual assault that likely resulted in over a thousand victims (though the official number is 589) over like half a century (earliest reports dated to 1958 and he died in 2011), many being sick or disabled children that he gained access to via “charity work”. Like Epstein it was an open secret that literally everyone knew but wasn’t allowed to be acknowledged until he was dead and could not be held responsible. They did arrest several other co conspirators in the aftermath of this like Gary glitter but it was clear that saville had protection and the like 7 other people who went down after he died benefitted from whatever connections he had while he was alive.

He literally said in his autobiography he “had a predilection for young girls” and made jokes when questioned about his crimes. He was knighted and knew consequences would never come.

Depends on what kind of sprinkler system and how old it is. Some of them are closed systems and the water stays stagnant until it’s set off, so when it finally goes the water itself is a hazard because it’s been sitting potentially for years. It tends to come out very disgusting, black sludge that smells like actual shit. And then you have a whole specialized response and cleanup required because it’s loaded with bacteria.

They won’t clean it though, they’ll piss away more money to hire specialized cleaners and contractors to fix the damage

It’s also worth noting that microplastics appear in basically all body tissue, including the brain, when looking at samples from cadavers in recent years. I don’t remember the name offhand but one study found enough microplastics in the average brain to make a plastic spoon.

So this might be more of a correlative thing, hopefully. Because the world ain’t stopping with plastic everything

I don’t think I’ve talked to an employee in a grocery store in years. They’re all self check out or 95% self check out and there’s online directories to find the location of every product in the store

I have a friend who had a c section birth that otherwise had no complications (other than requiring a c section. They were in the hospital 4 days iirc, way less than a week. Insurance was billed for 98,000. They had a 10k out of pocket max, thankfully

Consent is a key factor.

If you mail me an ad? Fuck you.

If I search out your service and find you? Okay. Though people game this system obviously. Google used to fight back against this but now they don’t care and even have just given in, allowing pay to play. So fuck that too

He has never decreased his net worth. His philanthropy costs him nothing except to limit making his obscene wealth even more obscene.

Additionally allowing billionaires to exist and championing their philanthropic endeavors means that you endorse a world where the modern version of kings are the gatekeepers to funding charitable efforts. What are the most worthwhile places to put resources for need? Better hope a billionaire agrees and doesn’t just donate to vanity projects they are personally invested in (like all of them).

This also doesn’t touch on the narcissism of billionaires. He bankrolled the elimination of guinea worm. Thousands of people worked hard to make this happen. But bill gates gets the credit for writing a check. When Trump puts his name all over the country do you also cheer that? No, because it’s obvious narcissism. This is the same, it’s just shielded from critique because the end result is positive and not some gaudy building

It’s a stupid policy but it’s playing to the base of stubborn idiots and boomers. I know of several boomers that get irrationally angry at the fact that their engine stops and they have to wait a quarter of a second sometimes for their brand new car to start at a red light. You point out that this gives an appreciable increase in fuel economy, sometimes significant, and they don’t give a shit because they’re selfish assholes who would destroy the entire world to not be inconvenienced for the briefest of moments.

Those people will remember this

You can make your own if you know how to fuck with css

Alternatively bc I agree that jellyfin clients are weak you can just use kodi as a client, which also looks horrendous by default, but has 20+ years of themes
