BottleOfAlkahest,

By Lemmy standards I’m perversely unconcerned with my privacy. But I just updated all my glassdoor info to wildly incorrect stuff (name, location, industry, job title, etc) then deleted it. Even for me this is a bridge too far.

BottleOfAlkahest,

Wreck of a congress that he helped create. The uselessness of our legislative branch is mostly due to Republican maliciousness. He broke the toy and now he’s mad it’s broken so he’s going home.

BottleOfAlkahest,

In some industries you can be a supervisor with 100 reports. Job titles are so asynchronized even in similar types of companies that they’re virtually meaningless without company specific context.

BottleOfAlkahest,

Do you really believe that any of his supporters understand the difference between the two?

BottleOfAlkahest,

This really looks like a technique called Irish crochet. Motifs are made separately and then pinned down and the connected webbing is then crocheted between them.

BottleOfAlkahest,

That such a perfect misspelling from a sovcit that it’s almost a Freudian slip.

40-year-old homeowner says economy doesn’t add up: ‘I’m making the most money I’ve ever made, and I’m still living paycheck to paycheck’ (fortune.com)

“There’s this wild disconnect between what people are experiencing and what economists are experiencing,” says Nikki Cimino, a recruiter in Denver.

She’s paying $1650 for a house? You’d pay more for a house in a neighborhood where every night is the purge here.

BottleOfAlkahest,

A huge chunk of their force is also released criminals who are very likely to run if given half the chance. The remaining force are Russian conscripts who are probably not running only because their families are effectively being held hostage back in Russia.

BottleOfAlkahest,

It’s not the King, the Thai king is a useless playboy. It’s the Thai military who’ve held power for a decade. The Military Junta wants to dissolve their rival and are just trying to use the King as the excuse.

'Influencer fatigue' is real and young people are getting tired of it (www.yahoo.com)

Although the spectacle of influencers flaunting their affluence has long been a staple of social media, there are signs that audiences are growing tired of it. Experts say “influencer fatigue” is wearing on young people who crave authenticity as inflation rises and achieving a stable livelihood becomes increasingly...

Theyre on lemmy.ml and they likely can’t say it on their instance without it being autocensored. I also don’t agree with a lot of .ml stances but I don’t think they’re selling advertising space over there, has that changed recently?

Edit: I’m bad at spelling

BottleOfAlkahest,

10 jobs in 3 years? That over 3 jobs a year. I’m not saying you should stay in a job with bad conditions, but I’m not sure how you could look at it where that isn’t a ton of job in a short amount of time.

BottleOfAlkahest,

I think Nex used they/them. Knowing Oklahoma they aren’t gonna look into this anymore at all. It’s already a very backwards state when it comes to respecting human life, the fact that they were non-binary essentially means that there no chance Oklahoma is taking this seriously.

Even if a concussion didn’t contribute being non-binary in as hostile a place as OK can’t have helped. As long as these assholes are in charge kids will continue to die (and not just Trans kids, it’s not a picnic being any minority in Oklahoma).

BottleOfAlkahest,

Out of pure curiosity does anyone know where “new growth fir” lumber is the typical building material? In the US most homes are built using Pine but that can’t be true everywhere.

BottleOfAlkahest,

I’ve been out of homebuilding for a while but we’re I was we largely used SYP and our SPF was all pine. Perhaps that was just the region I was in though.

BottleOfAlkahest,

That makes sense, we used pine where I was on the east coast but the company I wad working for would definitely have gone for thebcheaper option.

BottleOfAlkahest,

I use to bring these on hikes and field exercises. It does have a lot of sodium but if you want something cheap, light weight, and on the calorie heavy side dry Ramen is great!

BottleOfAlkahest,

What the hell does he consider them then? Bards? They’re politicians at least one of them had to be a rogue.

BottleOfAlkahest,

Cellulose powder is wood pulp. It doesn’t really have nutritional value and is often used in the production of certain medicine types as well, but it is definitely wood.

BottleOfAlkahest,

Cellulose Powder

I’m serious read the ingredients for kraft parmesan cheese

BottleOfAlkahest,

You may want to check your display setting because the pink and the red are very visibly different. If your settings are correct you may want to take a colorblindness test.

BottleOfAlkahest,

I picked this up in a airport years ago. I agree it’s probably not the best anthropology book (not that I’ve read a bunch of anthropology books). But it is a very easy book to understand and an easy read which many science books arguably are not. I think that alone makes this a valuable book because it easily delivers the concept of past environmental influence on the evolution of groups. It may not be perfect but it’s readable for us normal non-sciency people and that gives us a fighting chance to ask ourselves some important questions about how we see the world.

BottleOfAlkahest,

I’m not down playing breads significance. I’m disagreeing with your implication that as a staple item rice is as easy to cultivate differences in as bread would be. You implied that when Europeans discovered rice they thought " wow there should be more kinds, we can make this more versitle" like the Asian people cultivating rice for centuries had missed the obvious unlike the bread inventing Europeans.

BottleOfAlkahest,

Different bread though can be made with the same ingredients in different combinations. So of course they’re was variety. Rice is grown as is. So unless a culture cultivated different species of rice which could take generations then they wouldn’t have multiple types or rice. Different styles of bread could be made with very little extra effort and some probably even happened by accident. It doesn’t take multiple generations to produce a new type of bread.

BottleOfAlkahest,

Jasmine rice is NOT an American variety. It’s a long grain rice from Thailand and Loas. It was first grown in Northern Thailand and its cultivation had nothing to do with America at all. It’s also a very popular rice in Asia and therefore works well for many Asian Asian dishes and not just American Asian dishes.

This may be a bit pedantic/regional so I apologize for that but I’ve always heard of what you call “sticky rice” as “sushi rice” which is a short grain Japanese specific type of rice. Sticky rice as I am familiar with it is glutinous rice and is basically a gluey slab of sweetened rice.

BottleOfAlkahest,

That’s likely due to quality, how they’re cooking it, and how fresh the rice is itself.

Jasmine rice loses its smell pretty fast and restaurants go through a lot so they and their suppliers are likely turning their stock faster and getting fresher rice.

The amount of water can make a huge difference in steaming rice even in a rice cooker. The packaging I see usually calls for like 1 1/4 water to 1 cup rice but personally I prefer a 1:1 ratio. Also always remember to fluff after it’s cooked!

American stores are also unlikely to carry some of the top Jasmine rice brands. I suggest a Thai brand whenever you can for Jasmine rice. I personally like the three ladies but there are other good Thai brands too.
