Catty, more like.

I’ll save fierce for when we get a living wage and single payer healthcare bill passed.

Look it’s better than Google but it still stinks

I use DuckDuckGo, but it kinda sucks? Maybe just SEO has ruined search engines in general, but it seems no matter what engine I use, it’s fulla crap.

This is kind of ridiculous.

You can’t win in this country without being a member of one of the two parties. They’ve seen sure to that. In addition, you can’t get the money needed to run a campaign without approval from those parties.

It’s the parties that decide who is on the ballot, not the people. And it’s the parties who control the purse strings.

No candidate on the ballot is trying to help the common people. No matter who you choose, it’s not going to help the situation. We can talk about harm reduction or lesser evils all day, but when you choose lesser evil, you’re still choosing evil and the country trends towards more evil. When you’re reducing harm, you’re still accepting some amount of harm, not cure.

Naw this is a fucking ad pretending to be an article.

Get bent, this stuff doesn’t belong here.

A fucking ad??

Companies that are replacing humans with autonomous trucks should have to pay to retrain the work force they’re removing from the economy.

No ads. Ads shouldn’t clutter up any part of this world.

Do you hibernate for winter?

You can read in dreams, but usually the text changes if you look away and look back. That’s the “dream check” most teach when explaining lucid dreaming.

There’s exceptions to this. Text that is strongly associated with images may stay static, e.g. a brand logo, but I find it’s incredibly hard for documents and books to retain their information.

I don’t think recommending people to do 40 + hour fasts is a good idea.

Yeah it BLOWS! I make my own now, way better and cheaper.

If you could recommend a few, I’d be eager to try em. I mostly make my own sauces these days, vinegar or mustard based ones usually with the ghost peppers, and pickled Thai birds eye chilis with garlic, ginger and lemongrass, like a sambal oelek with a decent kick.

There’s a few yuzu based hot sauces out there that aren’t terribly spicy, but have a wonderful fruit flavor, so I’m thinking of trying to make a peach or mango Naga salsa/sauce next, but I gotta wait for good peaches or mangoes at the store.

What app are you using that works well? I’ve been using Sync but it frequently tells me there are comments that it can’t load. And finding new communities isn’t the easiest.

Seriously, it’s already impossible to get a decently spicy hot sauce at the grocery store.

Even the stuff covered in skulls or warnings or labeled “ghost pepper” are so diluted that they hardly count. Look, they’re hot, but ghost pepper in particular has become a buzzword, turning it nigh meaningless in determining how hot a sauce will be. Such a shame, too, as the ghost pepper has a delightful high intensity, low burn heat and sweet finish.

I don’t have a study or nothing, but I know a few other people like myself who like super hot foods and the vibe I get is that foods with capsaicin extract are edible, they’re not pleasant to eat and they lack a… rounded heat experience? It’s kinda hard to put into words. It’s sorta like “pancake syrup” vs maple syrup. Pancake syrup is sweet and sticky, but it isn’t good like maple syrup.

Yeah, but there are hotter peppers and foods available and the jalapeño is an incredibly mild pepper, it’s barely spicy and not a good comparison.

Challenge foods and sauces in general tend to also use pure capsaicin extract to really bring home the heat, but this tends to affect the flavor and make it bitter and unpleasant. Foods shouldn’t be “challenging” you to eat them and then artificially raising the stakes. It’s hard enough to get decently hot foods as it is, having to keep an eye out for companies “cheating” by using the pure extract from the peppers is annoying.

I’m having some fun playing it, but mostly in customizing my ship and setting up automated production via the outpost system.

The RPG elements feel uninspired and the writing pales in comparison to, say, Baldur’s Gate 3, but I feel Larian set a new standard of greatness with their work on the characters and writing there. Starfield feels flat by comparison.

Didn’t down vote ya, but kvetching about votes ain’t a good look.

Why? I said in the post, it doesn’t taste good and it artificially makes things spicier, but in an unpleasant, astringent way that isn’t flavorful like hot hot peppers. The manufacturer states they use the Carolina Reaper and the Naga pepper in the chip, but I’ve had it, and it lacks the flavor of those peppers and tastes bitter like other “challenge” sauces that use some amount of pure capsaicin extract.

It’s easier to get something spicier with pure extract and probably cheaper, but it ruins the taste of the heat.

Edit: it ain’t about extracts in foods or nothing, it’s not “artificial”, it’s just pure capsaicin from the peppers. It just affects the flavor and experience poorly.
