  • Today you learned! It's always a wonderful feeling to learn new things!

    Chocolate, cocoa, and cinnamon are flavorings and spices. Those are allowed in Chile. Chili is meat, tomato, onion, and spices. And yes, you can use chili as a base for a nice veggie stew with the addition of beans or q lot of other veggies!

    Cheers!

  • In my country, the ISP rents you a modem and router. I told them I had my own modem and router during setup and my monthly cost is slightly less than their advertised price.

    I am fortunate that my ISP gives me a routable address, but it is still only dynamic and may change a couple times a year. I would have to pay for a commercial plan if I want a static IP. Some other local ISPs use carrier grade NAT, but you can still request a publicly routable static IP with a business plan. Maybe you can ask your ISP for that?

  • it doesnt even make sense because by definition both parties are semetic.

    Oof, either you're just grossly misinformed and performing a cringey "ackchually", or you're anti-semitic yourself and perpetuating anti-semitic rhetoric.

    While yes, both are Semitic people, the term 'anti-semitic' was specifically coined by Nazi Germany to make their genocide seem like it had a basis in science. They specifically used it to refer to Jews. Nobody uses "anti-semitic" to mean all semites except hate groups and holocaust deniers who are trying to say "see, it doesn't even mean Jews specifically! Jews are just playing the victim!"

    I will assume you're simply ignorant or misinformed, but feel free to correct me if this was actually an intentional dog-whistle.

  • Domain naming authorities require identification for the registration of domains. You cannot purchase domains anonymously. You can pay Njalla and they own the domain, and they'll tell you that you can control it, but you have no rights to it in any kind of dispute.

  • I made the same jump about 4 months ago. I had a long history of running servers and trying Linux desktop here and there and finding it lacking. I installed Ubuntu because that was the popular distro for the past 15-20 years. I gave it a month. It blew. Bugs and general broken shit that I had to constantly repair. I finally gave up and figured if I was going to spend time tinkering with every goddamn thing, I may as well be using Arch. Installed Arch and I'm having a much better time. I still have to troubleshoot and fix the odd broken thing, especially after package updates, but it's less tinkering than I've had to do with either Windows or Ubuntu. I'm not saying Arch is your answer, but I bet it's "not Ubuntu".

  • What, in your mind, does "working hard" look like? Do you think the average lower- and middle-class adult doesn't already work hard? Especially harder than they did 20, 40, and 60 years ago? Can you name a time when you think people worked harder than they do today to achieve the same level of comfort and happiness? Do you have to go all the way back to pre-agricultural times?

  • That's fair. If you decide you want to identify your religion as Pagan, you are free to do so. It is much less fitting for our beliefs, tenets, and morals than Satanism, but may be a better fit for your beliefs.

  • What do you think Satanism is about? I model my behavior on a rational, scientific, and humanistic worldview and I fight against superstition. One of the predominant superstitious organisations in my country have a mythical being that espouses all of these same traits and they call it Satan. It's convenient for us to refer to ourselves using their own language, so they instantly know we are against anti-humanism and superstitious oppression.

  • "These beings have documented a perfect understanding of warp core, matter transmission, and matter replication technologies, yet they refuse to actually use any them and are stuck on a single planet fighting wars over limited resources."

  • I was shooting heroin and reading "The Fountainhead" in the pilothouse of my privately owned aircraft carrier when a call came in. I put a quarter in the radio to activate it. It was France. “Hey France, are you subscribed to the American security apparatus?”

  • Geothermal - 0.4%

    Geothermal is not quite to the point where we can represent it with a whole number percentage value, but it's getting there! If we're going to include sub-1% generators, burning wood has geothermal beat out at 0.8%. Geothermal is cool, though!

  • Just wanted to let you know I've had these books on my "to-read" stack for a few years now, and your comment got me to start reading them yesterday. They've already got me hooked, so thanks for the nudge!
