I always thought it was a pretty good analogy for a packet switching network.

Seconded. Great rice. Excellent flexible do-everything-reasonably-well appliance.

I don’t think that is necessarily out of the running yet. OS development is expensive and low profit. Commodification may be inevitable. Control of the shell and GUI, where they can push advertisements and shovelware and telemetry on you, that is profitable.

So in 20 years, 50? I predict proprietary OSes will die out eventually, balance of probability.

They also tend to have linux support. Where the AAA companies want to eat the entire mammoth and scorn the scraps, small companies can thrive off of small prey and the offal. :)

Also, the shirt pull.

Beans lots of beans lots of beans lots of beans yeah beans lots of beans lots of beans

She did the Goblins webcomic animated trailer allng with Phil Lamarr! Super stoked for that.

Genuinely though. You can cook amazing low cal food. Stir fried veggies and the right sauce. Curries. Also cut the meat down, you don’t need a lot. Beans are good and light.

Didn’t that originate in a Sabrina The Teenage Witch episode? Or did I just imagine that?

Well, north America anyway

You definitely do have to work harder to find more diverse viewpoints here. It’s a bit of a chicken and egg problem. At least on mastodon you can specifically follow people who talk about things outside your realm of experience.

When I build stuff in Space Engineers, I tend to find myself leaning to look around and under stuff sometimes.

It’s true, and it’s problematic, but the plastic lining in an aluminium can is super thin, since it doesn’t need to be structural. As far as resource use goes, it’s still way better. It’s best to look for improvements, and not to let the search for perfection block you from a marginal gain.

If you’re going to re-use, use glass, where possible. If you’re not, aluminium is still the better choice.

We should have higher deposits on cans and bottles. Here, it’s been pegged at 5 cents since the 90s - it should be more like 25 cents now for cans, or a dollar for glass bottles.

There are excellent American-made butters done traditionally. I hate that they’re making me defend the US but they have no monopoly on shitty food. It’s kinda just another form of exceptionalism.

There’s no secret to good butter. Grass fed cows, fermented milk, and high fat content. It’s just expensive.

And then you have Terry Pratchett who gave us Mister Teatime.

Look into Sawyer water filters. Much easier to use than lifestraws, last longer. Pressure instead of suction.
