What?? Just… straight from Congress?? I think this kind of highlights how this efficiency department has no real power. They don’t have the authority to plan or cut or divert money from NASA projects and Congress decides NASA budget.

Or a known Russian asset to head national intelligence.

The DoD and NASA are the ones that pay SpaceX through government contracts. If he cuts NASA, then that is less money for SpaceX

Way too late to “fight” them this way, it’s already served it’s purpose for them. Everyone needed to have done this like a year ago, dummies. But yeah, still delete it anyway.

Kitchen fires are scarier than they are difficult to deal with, if you are prepared and remain calm. You can see in this video how quickly and easily you can contain and extinguish the fire with just a baking sheet or a metal pot lid or just another pan. The real trouble happens when people panic or respond to the fire improperly, like splashing water onto it. It’s also smart to keep a small fire extinguisher in your kitchen, just in case.

There is also a lot of food that you can cook that will have little to no risk of causing a fire (soup, curry, rice, pasta, braised meats, steamed vegetables, pretty much anything that is wet or contains a lot of water or is cooked with water/steam), although if you keep your kitchen clean and tidy, and use your stove burners on appropriate levels, there should be little risk of a fire anyway.

Oh dear god, no, what have I done

I definitely agree with that!

Your Democrat quote is not completely accurate.

We love immigrants.

Kamala Harris and many Democrats ran their 2024 campaigns with adopted Republican policies of shutting down the border, blaming immigrants for crime, and taking a hard stance on immigration.

We love trans people, too.

The Democrats, as a party, have been talking out of both sides of their mouth on trans issues. There is no consistent message, some Democrats campaigned on “keeping boys out of girls sports”, a stance that literally denies the existence of trans people.

Yeah, you’re not wrong

If it’s the best soap you’ve ever used, that would negate the claim that soap is soap.

Disagree, the difference is that there is stuff in it that isn’t soap… in the case of that powder soap being superior, it is the added borax that acts as a great detergent, but probably not something you want to use on your skin regularly. And sure, there can be different ratios of water to fats in soap or different fats (lard, tallow, olive oil, beeswax, etc) that do not saponify fully (no soap should be 100% saponified or it would be possible that there is still lye in it that was not used up in the chemical reaction) and give the product different qualities, but the soap in it is still just soap. Or it could be sodium hydroxide lye vs potassium hydroxide lye to make solid vs liquid soap, respectively.

My comments are not really meant to be about hobbies but BS products marketed from massive corporations that are just adding more to our mountain sized landfills.

True, as seen by Russian fighter pilots literally taping consumer GPS units to the cockpit, but Russia is under sanctions and should not be receiving any silicon for general or consumer use either

Soap is soap. I make my own soap from only 3 ingredients: lard (that I process from bacon grease, instead of throwing it out, and no it doesn’t smell like bacon once it’s been processed into pure lard), lye, and water; no fragarance or colors, and it’s one of the best soaps I have ever used (except for an old homemade powder soap that had borax in it, that stuff works miracles for cutting away the grease, dirt, and oil on my hands after working on the car. I wish I had the recipe). I make a years supply in one batch.

BUT enjoy what you like, there’s nothing wrong with enjoying stuff. Mixing up fancy potions in a bowl with a brush sounds fun, but in wet shaving spaces online, people seem to lose their minds acting like this is what you NEED to do just to shave hair off your face

Cost and quality

I just dry shave with a saftey razor and it’s still a closer and more comfortable shave than all this hyper-marketed plastic garbage with multiple shit quality blades. The razor was already perfected long ago, but quarterly growth demands landfills filled with trash.

PS: there’s no reason for a saftey razor to be an expensive upfront cost unless you’re buying a huge bulk of blades upfront. Any cheap stainless steel handle will do, for practically the same cost as you’ll end up spending after the first time replacing this price-gouged plastic. A stainless steel saftey razor is priced at $10-$20 and will outlive you.

PPS: it drives me up the WALL every time I see a Gillette “Labs” (🙄🙄🙄) commercial, as if there’s supposed to be some team of scientists and engineers in a laboratory experimenting with new ways to shape a piece of plastic. Who are they fooling??? They’re just a marketing company with a razor department.

PPPS: all the “wet shaving” creams and lotions and balms and oils and lathering brushes and special towels and aftershave and who knows what are ALSO just marketing insanity. If you have an issue with razor burn, just apply a small amount of 100% aloe vera, which is soothing and naturally antibacterial (razor burn is just your immune system going to town on all the bacteria introduced to your skin by your likely dirty razor), after shaving. You can use a patch of denim from an old pair of jeans to sharpen a saftey razor if it feels rough on your skin.

I bet the yeast will struggle with the vinegar and salts, which act as a preservative. You could make alcohol from non-pickled cucumbers but you’ll probably need to make a mash from a whole lot of them, as they do not contain much sugar

That would help, but I doubt it would be as effective as a real air fryer that is actively blowing air while heating it, instead of just circulating it. An air fryer gets really loud because it is moving so much more air.

I was like you once and believed a convection oven and air fryer are the same thing and produce the same results. But I was wrong!

There is a subtle but crucial difference between an air fryer and a convection oven. A convection oven only circulates air around inside the oven, keeping the steam trapped with the food, while an air fryer actually removes all of the steam away from the food, allowing it to get much crispier much faster than is possible with a convection oven.

You are kind of right though, because now that air fryers have become popular, they’ve started marketting small toaster-oven-style convection ovens as “air fryers”, even though they legitimately are not air fryers and do not cook the food the same way that an air fryer does.
