I thought world War 2 and the rise of fascism in Europe was supposed to have taught us something.

They don't gotta burn the books, they just remove 'em.

WWII might have been the end, but they've slowly been worsening education especially in places like Florida. I think at this point, capitalist social media is also a significant cause of the rise in fascism. When Zuck decides to platform holocaust deniers or twitter decides "free speech [for nazis]" it legitimizes it. It doesn't take much before this translates into real life. You surround yourself online in your little bubble with all of the other crazies (yay Facebook is bringing people together) long enough and it's nearly impossible not to translate that into the real world.

History is pretty fuckin' easy to repeat if you don't know the history.

that may have been a lie the whole time.

Musk's taint on the brand is I think majorly based on this type of thing. His twitter purchase has revealed that he's a serial liar, and now people are seeing all of the ways that it is happening with Tesla. People tolerate assholes all of the time. What they don't want to tolerate is snake oil salesmen, and I'm not sure there has ever been a bigger one than Musk.

Kaladin?

MFI certification I don’t. They didn’t do it with iPads or MacBooks, why with iPhones?

Kinda already answering your own question. Those products converted to USB C a while ago, and there hasn't been a technical reason to not convert iPhone for at least as long. Why not iPhone? It's probably because if I had to guess, the MFI business is like, a lot of money. Probably hundreds of millions.

If you follow apple and the rumors fairly closely, this is one that at this point will be a surprise if it doesn't happen.

But actually the free market would take care of this because capitalism is so great. Anyway, I have to get back to freebasing whatever's under my sink now.

They do have a solid rumor that they're sticking with USB 2.0 speeds for for the USB C iPhone and that non-MFI certified cables may be slow charging only, so while I've got my finger's crossed that's false since I'm an iPhone guy, Apple still seems to be looking for a way to skirt the EU and still get the accessory cut.

I was using Chrome as a secondary because unfortunately "designed for Chrome" is a thing now, and got sick of Google's bullshit and thought I was doing better by going to Brave. Unfortunately, it quickly became clear that Brave has its own large ethical holes.

Yeah, why would anyone just go and say shit on the internet as if there aren't receipts?

no, lol, Elon just sucks.

Remember that time he offered to solve world hunger but then didn't because "nah" basically?

Ticks and Leeches (I've seen it live in one of the rare times they've played it) also goes into the "how's he doing that" category.

And then I'd put The Pot up there just because that intro was such a mindblower when it came out.

Her live stuff, or isolated vocals, or her live isolated vocals is pretty next level.

Welp, this is embarrassing. I totally glossed right over that...

Unlikely, given that this would violate the 1st amendment pretty blatantly.

The relatively good larger instant pot that I bought a couple of years ago was around $79, so I reckon you can still get one for under $100. Although I also have a rice cooker, I find this thing indispensable. I often have 5-8 people at my house, so a go to is throwing a bunch of chicken breast, soy, ginger, garlic, brown sugar, etc, in the instant pot for around 30-40 minutes total time while the rice is cooking. Shred chicken, turn to sauté, add a little corn starch slurry. Boom teriyaki chicken.

We do a similar thing for chicken tacos, but spicing with chicken bouillon, cumin, cayenne, chili powder, garlic, onion, tomato. Shred, enjoy meat for tacos, enchiladas, etc. I make a passable birria in about around 2 hours.

Country ribs/pork shoulder, bbq sauce, apple juice, onion, garlic. While it's cooking in the instant pot, simmer down an onion. Not quite caramelize until it's jelly, but sweat until onions are soft. Turn oven to broil, cut the entire pack of kings hawaiian rolls or similar in half, butter and brown under the broil. Shred the pork, spread on the rolls, add a little bbq sauce, the onions, and cover with provolone slices. Broil again until cheese melts.

Chili is another good one. Although I haven't done it, you can use unsoaked dry beans in some recipes. I usually just throw a few cans of my faves (I prefer it bitier, so more kidney) with spices and browned meat of some sort (feel free to omit) and we're good to go.

Most of the things I make in the instant pot are things that I would normally have to wait all day for, or at least 3-4 hours. Not great after a work day. Low and slow recipes work really well in instant pot with a minor adjustment here and there, and often you turn a 4 hour recipe into a 1 hour recipe. And as a poor, this type of cooking can be a game changer because low and slow is often for foods that are cheap. if you head to the store and buy a ny strip, you can come home and be eating great in 15 minutes. Not so much with a much, much cheaper piece of chuck.

If you don't know, find the closest restaurant supply or head to amazon and just buy the Victorinox standard that is in basically every commercial kitchen everywhere. It's probably about $20-30 and will hold up nicely. Outside of that, I found a well reviewed amazon thing for around $35-40 probably about 5 years ago, and it's been great.

I'm going to add a little and say that almost every kitchen should have a honing steel and a basic set of sharpening stones. No knife is going to stay sharp forever.

If I had kitchen that didn't have these things, that is how I'd spend my $100.

I'm going to go a little further - even in the most minimalist kitchens, you should probably have one. Almost no one cooking in a home kitchen especially is going to get very close without it.

you are either stupid, evil or both

Republican leadership is mostly both, and it is done with the idea of keeping their voting base stupid. Smart, moral people don't vote republican at least since Reagan. The only thing Republican leadership believes in is money and power, and you have to keep people pretty dumb in order to keep believing the lies that Republican policies are good for anyone but the rich. So you get a DeSantis, for example, who's stripping libraries and destroying education in his state because it's the only hope that he has in keeping power. It's why Republican talking points are all about "woke" because they don't have to define it and they can't actually point to like a single fucking thing they're doing that's bettering anyone's lives.

So, so sorry about that.
