  • Can I just do the spices 2x? They seem the most useful without getting myself killed for magic or just stabbed in a mugging for having something too advanced.

    I just want some spices to make my food not bland, and maybe making some dollars in the process. Not trying to get killed over my possessions. Spices, I’m sure, went for a good price but less likely to get murdered for selling some as opposed to using a motorbike, or laser pointer.

    The dab pen is tempting, but with my layman’s current knowledge, I should be able to work growing out. More concerned about all the infections and what not my body has no defense for. I’ll take 2 vials of antibiotics over any of the other options. Or do a spice rack and a medicinal herb book.





  • I was mostly looking for details to indicate the person was real. Got 8/10. Someone had an odd tooth, someone else’s eyebrow hair looked like they had just woken up. There was one picture I immediately knew was AI, because it just seemed off. Another had some strange wrinkle texture on the neck that just seemed unnatural. One of the 2 I got wrong because I thought the eye wrinkles were too much for the rest of the face. Turned out to be a real person.




  • Yep, it’s great! You can call or text with all your turkey questions. I texted and so the lady helping me even asked for pictures of the “growth”! She sent the issue up the line until it was identified. This was just last year, and I’m still mad about throwing out a perfectly good turkey before trying the helpline.


  • I’ve started with a frozen bird in the morning, and had a nicely baked turkey at a reasonable time this way. Put it in a bath until it’s not entirely a brick, replacing some of the water frequently. Balance it in the sink so you can run the faucet down the neck. Run water until spine is thawed enough to spatchcock. Doesn’t matter if most the meat is still frozen, it’ll cook fine.

    *Went to brine my turkey the day before and found a weird “growth”. It was really unappetizing and concerning, so I overreacted and threw out the bird. Could only find frozens, so the new bird only had overnight in the fridge. After buying a new turkey I thought to get on the Butterball turkey help line. They were fantastic and assured me the growth was actually a processing burn and totally safe.


  • Why is it when talking about Israeli military or political action it’s necessary to add the word government? With any other country you can say, as an example, “Russia shouldn’t be invading Ukraine”, but with Israel it seems necessary to add something like “I’m talking about the government, not the people.”

    On the other side of things, it seems Hamas is interchangable with Palestine, which is interchangable with the Palestinian people, and none of these get folks pointing out the distinction.







  • I’m on kbin exclusively now, with the exception of a couple weeks ago. I was looking for exceptional rock shops near where I was visiting. Wanted suggestions/reviews from the more geological geared, and specifically not metaphysical/crystal shops. Reddit was the best resource for my purpose.

    That said, I believe the fediverse can become a similar resource. For the time being, there just isn’t a large enough, or old enough library of information to draw from. Given time this should change, but for now Reddit still fills certain types of needs that other areas of the internet cannot.



  • I agree. There are plenty of people conflating issue 1 and abortion rights, but the reality is issue 1 had nothing to do with abortion rights. I don’t think this is a Democrat win, nearly as much as it’s being portrayed. Plenty of R’s voted it down on it’s own merit. LaRose was certainly pushing it to prevent an abortion rights win in November, but after his push to eliminate special elections (not to mention what the proposal actually said) folks across the political spectrum saw it for the power grab it was. Wanting to keep a path for citizen led ballot initiatives does not equal wanting to enshrine abortion rights.
