A pet peeve I have is that we all have been brain-washed into an unthinking assumption that “modern” is better.

Whenever we find ourselves using “modern” as an adjective carrying the implication of “better” we should ask ourselves what details exactly are we referring to, and what makes them better? A lot of times these are just fashion, just stylistic fads. And those selling is us shit really love us to buy into that mentality so they can sell us “upgrades” or new shit.

Neonicotinoids?

You can find most owners manuals PDFed online. At least for appliances, electronics, etc. I’ve never looked for an auto one…

Clearly it must be made from ascii art and just zoomed way back.

Make multiple backups and store multiple places.

No owners manual in the glovebox? If there is, there might be a diagram in there.

Egg salad and deviled eggs are very adjacent. Anything that works in one, can work in the other.

Green olives are excellent in egg salad. To my taste, egg salad needs something to keep it from being bland: Dijon mustard, hot sauce, olives, salami are all options that work well.

I am from the US but have no reason to think any of them are common here. Olives and salami are ideas I got from The Charlie Brown Lunchbag Cookbook that I picked up from the bookmobile as a kid. It had a ton of surprisingly adventurous sandwich recipes.

All you people saying “no way” should try it. Unless you are barbarians with no taste for olives.

But which one is which?

When did people start using the term ‘lab’ for this sort of thing, and why?

And one of those things, in practice, makes it harder for users to take advantage of the openness of the other.

They say it’s important to make time for the little things…

Oh agreed. I wouldn’t want to install an OS from a fucking idiot either.

(And I take your point that said idiot may also be a dishonest slime ball.)

almost all of them genuinely believed they were being a force for good.

I don’t believe that. Sociopathy is extremely common in those that achieve high levels of power. Most of them used and manipulated others credulity around things being forces for good to increase their own power. For such people getting what they want is their only real criteria for good.

I agree with your last statement though.

I can’t believes he’s intentionally anti-privacy. Occam’s razor suggests he’s instead a fucking idiot.

They think of it like a game. Its just like some dickhead on reddit posting endless bullshit on reddit to amass internet points, except that billionaire points affect the well-being of the real world, which neither the reddit dickhead nor the billionaire really live in or care about.

Ah right, caraway, I spelled it wrong! It’s a common rye bread spice in some countries.

Sirloin for flavor over tenderness and richness (fat). If you prepare it correctly and it’s a good quality peice of meat, toughness or dryness shouldn’t be a problem.

Does Finnish ryebread typically include carroway? I often add carroway when I make pea soup, it is a good combination.
