  • I bought an LG microwave a few months ago to replace a dead 10 year old Sharp. My favorite “features”:

    • The sticker on the door stating that by using the microwave I agree to LG’s TOS, including binding arbitration.
    • The single 4 minutes and 30 seconds of use I got out of it before the magnetron broke.

    When I returned it they customer service person asked if I wanted it serviced under warranty – hilarious. Bought a Panasonic instead.

    Option 3. Get a job as part of the 5% of the population still employed in serving the various security apparatuses protecting the rich fucks – you could be a soldier, cop, or government official.

    Better to be part of the boot than be the poor fuckers getting stepped on, right? You can sleep easily knowing you have it slightly better than the other 95% of the underclass.






  • Age and activity level absolutely effect how “tough” meat is. I’ve raised and cooked both heritage breed chickens and modern broilers. The former take 2-3 times as long to reach maturity, are far more active, and as a result are “tougher”. You can cook them just as fast a broiler, but the end result is going to be tough/chewy meat. The longer cooking time is needed to achieve equally tender meat.

    It’s the difference between cooking a rib-eye and a brisket.




  • Modern bright lighting is great for daytime but one of the worst things we can do to ourselves in the evening or night. We absolutely did not evolve to be exposed to bright (particularly blue/white) light after the sun starts setting.

    The best thing I did for my circadian rhythm was eliminate light in the bedroom and set up my lights to slowly shift to soft amber and dim in the evening. The trick is having it transition slowly so your eyes adjust and you don’t notice it.
