🍆? They asked about hummus, not baba ganoush!

The main benefit of having a substack vs just running some blog software is that substack manages monetization/subscriptions for you. Hosting text-based content is very easy, but getting paid for it isn’t.

I’m reminded of a joke. What is the difference between a conservative and a liberal? A conservative wants a small group of people to own and control everything. A liberal wants some of those people to be women

It’s nice to take a break from the whisper networks of power players

I like scaled for my subscribed communities, but I prefer active when I view all because with scaled my feed gets filled with far too much niche things I’m not interested in.

Cool. I’m old enough that in middle school I begged my Mom to take to the mall to buy Linux. I got a Red Hat Linux CD-ROM pack from a store called Babbage’s. I couldn’t download the ISO on our modem and I don’t remember if we even had a burner at that point.

Quid pro quo where she agrees to incriminate Trump’s opposition

I guess they could say they are generating 1GW of computing power

Moreover, lactic acid bacteria (LAB), which play a key role in the fermentation process, produce a wide range of enzymes, toxins, and other metabolites that inhibit invasion by unwanted pathogens such as Clostridium botulinum, the agent that causes botulism, and many others (Alakomi et al. 2000; Axelsson 2004; Caplice and Fitzgerald 1999; de Moreno de LeBlanc et al. 2015; Fadda et al. 2002; Farouk et al. 2014; Holzapfel and Wood 2014; Liu et al. 2014; Ray and Joshi 2015; Riley and Chavan 2007; Ross et al. 2002; Singh et al. 2012; Stadnik…

Faraday’s law and Lenz’s law were discovered in the 1830s

Bro we’re serious this time. We just need to work on messaging while not actually offering voters anything.

A little off is probably worse than fully fermented. I read a paper about fermented meat, which I think is actually linked in the article. Apparently when food ferments it becomes acidic just like sauerkraut does. This kills off the non-acid-loving bacteria. The acid-loving bacteria also consume all the oxygen in the meat which also keeps other bacteria from growing.

Cocaine’s a helluva drug

Wrestling is a popular school sport in America

I’ve heard people say that in academia, the competition is fierce because the stakes are so low. I think FOSS is the same.

It’s not just blank, it’s blank
