True. I think even if he gets off, they’ll kill him. Remember all the whistleblower deaths in 2024? Like that.

DS9.

It’s a good thing we dissolved our federal cybersecurity.

It has to be easy, low effort, and something there friends are doing too.

There tends to be a naturally occurring separation between marrieds and unmarrieds, as well as drinkers/bar goers and non. Children vs dinks are yet another naturally occurring separation.

Dink = double income no kids

You’re forgetting women, fertility, birth rates, abortion. DEI gutting laid the groundwork for firing and not hiring pregnant women, or just women.

Their basic shortbread recipe is spot on, perfect.

When you start, you follow recipes. Pick a type of cuisine you like. At some point as you explore recipes you will start to understand the “flavor bouquet” of that cuisine. This understanding will help you with what spices go together in a pleasant way, and in what amounts. Like Thai food. Or Italian food.

That said, bread can be a gateway recipe. It’s simple: yeast, flour, water + a sugar to activate the yeast. Not all bread is sandwich bread. Starting with flatbread (for hummus, gyro, etc) or pizza crust also works. No bread machines, that would defeat the purpose of your original question, but a stand mixer with a dough hook is ok. For sandwich bread, King Arthur Flour has solid recipes (ignore ingredient branding).

If you like vids, Kenji Lopez-Alt is excellent. He also has a book called The Food Lab which is useful but not necessary, depending on how you learn. Serious Eats also has useful guides.

Shut up, Wesley!

The byline for everyone around but not in the Trump administration right now.

The difference a person would know that’s a poster in a frame on a wall and not an actual person.

AI is once again showing its skill level.

Anders has entered the chat.

On the waking side of reading the alien enemies act will be enacted April 20, but I don’t see how that’s any better.

Dining out. Takeout.

Wakefield was paid to create that paper and he lost his medical license for his lack of ethics. RFK wants to study him.

What was RFK’s profession? Did he have one besides being a Kennedy? Did he study anything legitimate in depth in his life?

They’re using Signal so nothing is recorded.

Basically there’s a government transparency mandate by We The People. It’s why info gets released to the press and eventually things like the JFK assassination are released years later. It’s why everything the president writes or says is recorded. Because, in theory, they work for We The People and have to answer to us. They can’t do that if no one knows what they’re up to.

Trump admin says, fuck that, fuck We The People, we will now use an end to end encrypted service that cannot be effectively subpoenaed. What we do is our secret, so no one knows what we are up to.

As a messaging service Signsl is as secure and private as the people using it. You want privacy you use WIRE or Signal. Your stuff isn’t recorded on a database like Facebook Messenger, for later subpoenas, it’s just poof, gone, as you delete it. You can even time delete it for everyone in chat after a few minutes, an hour, a week, etc.

As for the phones themselves, I don’t know. In general terms, out of the box, Apple is more secure than android but neither is private, unless the feds get a telemetry removal package or some such which would make sense. GrapheneOS on an Android device (strips all telemetry including that map app) is how we laymen do it.

It’s more likely that Zuck or Musk paid someone to go play moderator. Anyone can become a moderator.

There’s no such thing as always or never when it comes to people, except death.

Depends. That’s the issue though. DEMs is a giant bag of angry cats fighting amongst themselves, gatekeeping one another, and more or less telling one another how they should be while saying it’s all inclusive.

The infighting is real. I’ll give the repubs credit for unity, they’re strangely good at it, just look at Tesla. Ten years of hating Tesla and hazing Tesla drivers. Now, the same people are driving cars into protesters for daring to smear the company. That’s unity. Blind unity. But unity.

We can’t do anything even remotely close to that in party.
