If your bean juice is burnt, you made it wrong. Turn off the hot plate as soon as it’s done brewing in traditional drip style. Primary cause of burnt coffee.
Exactly. Self sufficiency is definitely a myth. Humans cannot survive alone for long. You simply cannot make tools that will keep you alive for long. You’ll have to venture back to civilization to get anything worked via metal at the very least. Just the basic crafts for clothing, shelter, tools and food is more than any one person can handle. It took whole tribes and villages even at the earliest points.
Now if you mean: how can I live in a cabin off the grid with minimal contact (1-2x a year) then that’s doable.
Ah the Chicken Singularity existed before Minecraft patches caused livestock animals to take damage if they were too crowded. Due to the unique way that you could spawn chickens: throwing eggs, you could very easily spawn chickens places they wouldn’t normally breed as easily. Or rather, it’s hard to breed animals when they are too crowded and overlapping.
So you make a small corral for your chickens. 3x3, 2x2 or 1x1 if you’re not here to fuck around. Then toss eggs at the walls (at least 2 high) en masse to spawn chickens. The floor is a hopper to catch eggs and feed that to a chest. Eventually you get tons and eggs and can get hundreds of chickens. Then when you need meat, simply attack the small space they can’t flee from and the hopper fills with meat and feathers.
You need this to be loaded for them to lay eggs so they had to be somewhat close to your base. And let me tell you, the NOISE of a chicken farm was something else. Hundreds of bawk-bawk-bawks continuously. Had to mute the game when I did this. Also the load on the server for that many NPCs in a small area was pretty intense and could crash or slow down some servers.
But like, their leaders do most of this and they support their leaders so it’s an irrelevant distinction. In the US it’s essentially boiled down to the Republican party: The RNC and the party supports Trump who is an obvious fascist, racist, etc. They support him to the point of making their entire policy just him. Whereas normal parties have actual policies and the POTUS is merely the leader of the party. So if you support the Republican party you are de facto supporting Trump and are therefore supporting straight fascism.
In the past you could at least support Republicans for their policies (these have their own problems) but not support their current Presidential candidate/POTUS. But they’ve gone all-in on Trump so it’s a wash.
If we get Trump, I’m fairly certain we won’t have another real national election again. It’ll be like Russia with massive “voter fraud” bills and EOs passed that completely neuter the ability to vote. The treasonous Project 2025 would gut the government and we’ll probably get that Schedule F bullshit that brings back the spoils system.
So while Biden is wonderful (he’s done a bunch of good stuff recently at least), Trump is so far down the fascist ladder there really isn’t any choice. I’m not excited to vote for Biden, I’m terrified of Trump being elected.
Although Machiavelli has been widely condemned as a misogynist, his three central political works feature dozens of women who engage in efficacious and often praiseworthy political action. To appreciate fully the character and value of their activity and ultimately Machiavelli’s views on women as potential political agents, one must first carefully attend to his conception of animo. Usually translated as “spiritedness,” animo represents the natural assertiveness, energy, and resoluteness that forms the basis of virtù if properly disciplined – usually by a city’s modes and orders. By examining the plight of women, however, Machiavelli turns to those persons who stand outside the city’s political institutions and thus tend to exercise unbridled animo, for better or for worse. In addition to revealing his deep preoccupation with political outsiders, Machiavelli’s appreciation of the political problems associated with womanhood also discloses one of his most radical impieties-the denaturalization of gender norms, an impiety we are only beginning to appreciate today
🤷 I am definitely not a philosopher or political scientist.
Yeah. When I lived in NW Florida (ugh), jalapenos grew like weeds in a small pot. Always had way too many.
Also a fun fact: in early spring you can often see green grass-like shoots growing before the grass starts and are quite tall. Those are wild alliums, the same family as garlic, onions and scallions.
I will note that when I moved to MD the plant did well but grew like 1 pepper all year. Gave up after that. Heartburn also made it less viable to eat so many. :p

My cynical attitude says commercial real estate corporations will probably try to pivot to residential real estate and gouge us all when corporate real estate doesn’t pan out.
Your tiny bit of discomfort is clearly more important than rape culture that, yes you too, are contributing to. This is contribution to ignoring rape culture.
Your willful ignorance and not listening to women is enabling rapists.
