I mean, it’s likely just poverty but I’m pretty sure they’ll pay the price on their next visit to the restroom.

You mean lit?

I have no idea. As far as the hot dogs and the fake crab meat go, those are definitely already cooked before they’re sold, as they’re safe to eat cold right out of the package.

It definitely appears to be the cause of the majority of food crimes. It’s pretty much always either that or having more money than sense.

Crime might be down, but homelessness is way up, or it at least feels that way. They’re everywhere these days, even in my sleepy suburb, loitering in parks and sleeping in public greenways, destroying the vegetation and often leaving piles of trash behind.

No, I’m not arguing they deserve to go to jail for that, but you have to agree that it’s difficult having empathy for people who keep turning every inch of public property into an eyesore. But I don’t think the problem will ever be solved by fingerpointing, because that’s just passing the blame around, which ultimately helps no one.

I think there needs to be a bigger discussion about what can be done to help these people regain a sense of purpose in life. It seems to me that most of them are simply severely disillusioned or even repulsed by how our current society works – go to work, pay your bills, rinse and repeat until you reach retirement age. They got tired of the rat race and the constant pressure to perform and are simply choosing to live a primitivist lifestyle instead, but without having any higher goals or ideals to strive for, it’s inevitable that they’re going to sink back into the mud.

Human beings need to have a sense of purpose, they need to feel useful and appreciated in some way in order to keep making an effort day after day. It’s not enough to house them and feed them because without purpose, most of them will still end up turning to alcohol and drugs simply in an effort to pass the time.

Mayonnaise also has vinegar in it, but certainly not enough to be noticeable in a sweet dish.

I guess my main concern is that it might have a distinct taste of mayo to it (in order to warrant the name), in which I case I’d be worried that it would likely make me gag. Because even though I like mayonnaise, I never want to have THAT much of it in my mouth at any given time.

MacNCheezus,

Well, in the interest of science, I just looked it up, and it turns out that mayonnaise has approx. twice as much fat as your standard cream cheese. Also, it’s obviously a different kind of fat because mayo is typically made with vegetable oil whereas cream cheese has milkfat instead.

Since this is a cheesecake after all, the filling likely has both in it — perhaps they just used mayo in place of the usual sweet or sour cream. Either way, the end result would likely still have a higher fat content than regular cheesecake (because even heavy whipping cream has no more fat in it than cream cheese).

Long story short, your initial reaction seems spot on and it’s precisely the same thought that also filled me with disgust when I first saw this.

MacNCheezus,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

I mean I probably probably would do the same in this case, but I’d try a tiny piece just to be safe because my visceral reaction to the thought of this is still more gag reflex than anything else.

Something about the consistency of Mayo that seems extremely off-putting for it to be used in this way.

Thank God mayonnaise isn’t spicy…

Yeah, I see how it can probably work in a pinch, as long as the taste isn’t overpowering. I think that’s my main concern with this dish – that it DOES taste enough like mayonnaise to deserve being called mayo cheesecake, and not just “cheesecake that happens to have mayo in it because I ran out of cream and eggs”.

MacNCheezus,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

Oh yeah, I mean in regular dough it really shouldn’t be noticeable at all. Still feels weird, but logically, I see no reason why it shouldn’t work.

It’s legal in Canada

MacNCheezus,

“Safe” merely means it doesn’t contain any prohibited chemicals or unsafe levels of unavoidable contaminants (such as mercury in seafood). It’s by no means a dietary endorsement.

Only makes sense if it’s text files (like source code). Even if DOCX files are just a bunch of XML files wearing ZIP trenchcoat as this guy says, chances are git doesn’t know that, so it’ll treat the whole thing as a binary file and save each revision as a separate file entirely, in which case you haven’t really accomplished much other than hiding away all those intermediate versions in an invisible drawer.

MacNCheezus, (edited )
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

Doesn’t matter, to git they are still binary files, which means it’ll check in each revision as an entirely new copy.

Yes, you might only see the most recent one in your working directory, but under the hood, all the other ones are still there in the repo.

MacNCheezus,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

I’m sure you could, but yes, it’s likely not worth the trouble.

MacNCheezus,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

You probably can but here’s why that’s still not gonna be all that effective.

MacNCheezus,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

I suppose it can be helpful if seeing a folder full of revisions would otherwise drive you crazy. I mean, I fully admit I also sometimes just dump a mess from my desk into a drawer just so I don’t have to look at it constantly.

Also, if you have a consistent habit of writing accurate and descriptive commit comments, you may not need to rely on being able to compare line-by-line diffs to see what’s changed between versions.

I think the moral of the story is that git is a somewhat suboptimal tool for this purpose and it whether it’s helpful at all depends far more on your habits and discipline than on the functionality it provides.

MacNCheezus,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

Outside of being able to comment on each revision when making a commit, I guess I don’t see what benefit this provides that regular, automated backups (such as Time Machine) don’t.

I find it hilarious that Linux users STILL continue to hate on Windows Update when memes like this exist.

In my experience, Linux wants to update itself far more frequently than Windows (which is really generally no more than once a month these days), and it DOESN’T EVEN OFFER THE OPTION of automatically postponing it to a more convenient time. Yes, you can always say “not now”, but then it’ll just keep bugging you again until you say yes.

Ironically, at this point, updates on Linux are basically everything that Windows used to get made fun of in the past (for good reason!), but while the situation has actually improved on Windows, on Linux it’s only become worse as distributions grow and updates become even more frequent.
