Yeah… Not liking steak really was a frustrating experience growing up there. Similar experience I’m sure with other food stuff: “you just haven’t had it prepared right” said 50th+ person who wants to cook me a medium rare steak with salt and pepper, oiled, over a charcoal barbeque only to be middling flavor, terribly chewy and get stuck between teeth.

But i could eat flavorful beans or lentils or berries. This corn, even off the cob, has wasted space on my plate. It is better made into proper corn foods like corn bread or tortillas.

Sorry maybe not awful per se, but tastes neutral, whole kernels get bits between the teeth and you have to floss after. Experience is less than mid but people claim it’s like an orgasm in your mouth. Same thoughts about steak, or Batman movies.

I can go weeks, dozens of sleep cycles and never see a hint of instability with my Arch daily driver. It only needs a reboot after update and didn’t even ask for it.

My windows computer (work, 2025 lenovo, fresh install) can’t make it an hour without explorer crashing. They also fucked up task manager… The latest new bug is right and left click getting swapped requiring a reboot. I never imagined that was even possible.

There needs to be a financial benefit or punitive incentive for companies to move from conventional oil based products. Ethics or the viability of the planet just aren’t viable grounds under capitalism.

Well it tastes awful so it’s nice they found a use for it.

I guess you’re right in the sense that neither could play audio off drivers packaged with install media in that era.

Unless they’re run by a state entity it’s extremely unlikely they’ll operate at a loss.

If you’re talking about the “Whoopsy doodle! #redacted :3” portion of the US military budget then yes it’s possible only the tortured prisoner title applies.

I love seeing the earlier practice and attempts! It makes the final artworks perfection shine even brighter when you can see and relate to the flaws that came before.

So pretty!

Pretty much exactly that plus a market. Prisoners held for torture are still slaves. They turn a profit for the prison as long as they’re not dead. They’re just funded by your tax dollars instead of private wealth.

The fuck you think a plantation was?

This is lemmy, the only non-binaries allowed are the genders.

It was probably the most inexplicable addition to the Matrix franchise. Like, we get it, you’re stuckin a terminal, a place of transition, yada yada… Just break the egg and get on with it.

Me pressing the reset button…

To be fair the train equivalent of windows would crash either way.

I also knew MANY kids who were whisked off to Iraq and Afghanistan to partake in human meat grinding…

The good within a border never justifies the evil inherent in its maintenance, at least not in the long run.

Though both of your example are invaders so 🤷

NASA was a 200% return on investment when it was cut due to being “too expensive” by Nixon

Every single universal healthcare system is cheaper than the US model.

Then there’s the consistent cuts to education where investments return 200%-1000%…

…

FWIW I think both US and China are terribly flawed systems.

Title them off, i wanna see easier…

Try looking at bird scapulas as reference for the base of the wings. They float on either side of the back.

This is really good, It’s not ugly at all, keep going! 😁🍿

Are the construction lines on other layers or?
