- Comment on YSK about 15 bean soup. 2 days ago:
Be careful with cheap spices. If it’s from a trusted brand, sure, go for it. Whole spices tend to be more trustworthy than powders (and sometimes cheaper). But there have been some instances of heavy metal contamination of cheap powdered spices.
Cheap cinnamon is usually Cassia cinnamon, which contains high levels of coumarin, a blood thinner. Real cinnamon is Ceylon, and has much lower levels.
I like getting spices from stores with a bulk spices section. If e.g., you need a tbsp of cinnamon, or a single star anise, etc… you put only what you need in a little container. it will be super cheap compared to a whole prepackaged container and you’ll always have a fresh product with no waste. You can even bring/reuse your own containers! A lot of local food co-ops have a bulk area with spices. Frontier is a popular vendor for these, and their stuff is vetted and super high quality. Best of both worlds IMO.

It is harvest time for fruit trees in many areas. My area has apple trees and a lot have fallen due to a drought. I can look on the ground within a 100yd radius of my place and probably rustle up a pie’s worth of decent fruits. Further south the paw paws are coming in. And later in the season, walnuts and hickory nuts will come in. I know not everyone is so lucky to live in a forageable area, but you also might be surprised what’s around.
fallingfruit.org is a fantastic resource if you’re looking for sources of free food. They have mobile apps as well.

Triangle numbers for me (1,3,6,10,15,21,28…). It’s a good mix, but you run out of beans eventually.
- Comment on From burner phones to decks of cards: NYC teens are adjusting to the smartphone ban 3 days ago:
When I was in school every room had a landline phone that could make calls both within the building and externally. Is this not the case now? What advantage does it give for everyone to have a phone? Wouldn’t that just create more variables, chaos and panic to deal with during an actual emergency?

For some reason I assumed this was already how the fediverse worked, but I haven’t been here very long and it does explain some things, including the “empty” vibe in some lesser-populated places.
Naturally, I have questions. What consideration is being given to data integrity/mutability and trust? Will all servers that touch a post have a distributed record of all comments and give network confirmation (a la blockchain)? Or does one server (e.g. the originator of each post, or the server with the most resources) act as a single authority of that post? Something else?
Could one server be instructed to “go rogue” and submit bad content to the network, or go on a deletion spree that ends up becoming permanent?
What about resources? What impact will backfilling have on your average dude hosting a small instance?
This is just where my mind goes, you see. I’m sure all this and more have been discussed and figured out already. If a public discussion is available to look at, I would love a link!

- Comment on ISO 26300 1 week ago:
I graduated in 2011, and same. My high school had a pretty janky mix of mostly Dell Inspiron towers, and mostly Windows XP but with a handful of Windows 2000 and ME machines that for some reason (prolly hardware too old) escaped their upgrades. We went through impressively comprehensive MS Office training and even Computer Tech classes (essentially an intro to an intro to computer science where we learned data concepts and built a PC).
A few years later, 90% of those machines had been scrapped, the mandatory courses were all gone and the kids all had cheap crappy Chromebooks. Now any courses are electives and the students are expected to just magically know how to use the software they’re required to use. Consequently, any class involving use of a computer, even if it’s just word processing for English essays and such has the teacher having to show the students how to use the stuff. Otherwise there are problems. It’s a sorry state of affairs and a lot more kids are getting left behind when it comes to tech.

Great idea! That way you’ll know it hasn’t been tampered with because of the way it is.
