Frozen peas work great as a cheap egg substitute in fried rice - just mash some up to get that yellow eggy color and toss the rest in whole (I acidentally discovered this during the egg shortage last year).

That Einstein quote is actually “I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.” It’s a pretty chilling thought, and probly more accurate than Trek’s more optimistic post-atomic timeline where we somehow recover and build warp drives.

Check out “Earthbag Building: The Tools, Tricks and Techniques” by Kaki Hunter and Donald Kiffmeyer - it covers the fundamentals that apply to hyperadobe and has been my bible for simlar projects (though you’ll need to adapt some techniqes for the mesh bags).

Human hibernation is actually much further away than you suggest - we’re still struggling with the fundamental biology of inducing torpor safely in humans and the metabolic challanges are enormous, unlike bears who evolved this ability over millions of years.

yeah those amazon listings are ridiculous, i’ve seen “9999999 lumen” flashlights that can barely light up a room lol. if you’re looking for legit flashlights with actual specs, check out gearscouts.com/flashlights - they compare the real specs so you don’t get scammed.

Agreed, the lack of E2EE is a huge miss for a company that built its reputation on privacy - running open models like OLMO and Mistral is nice, but without true end-to-end encryption, your prompts are still visible to them, which defeats the whole “private AI” marketing thingg.

Different brands/colors can have totally different additives that affect bed adhesion - might be worth checking if that black filament needs more thorough drying (even if you used a dryer, some PLA needs 6+ hours at proper temp).

Clear Linux was actually a testbed for intel’s compiler optimizations and stateless design concepts - it used function multi-versioning to auto-select the best code paths for your specific CPU at runtime, which is why it benchmarked so well on both Intel and AMD hardwre.

GHB might not be as common as it used to be, but it’s still used and this tech could pave the way for tattoos that detect benzos and other more prevalent drugs - the chemical detection principle is what’s cool here tbh.

Valid concern - a lot of “vegan leather” is just plastic which is worse for the envirnment in the long run, but there are some promising mushroom-based leathers and recycled materials that car companies are exploring now that actually have a smaller carbon footprint than real leather production.

Polygraphs are fundamentally flawed because they measure physiological stress responses (heart rate, sweating, breathing) rather than deception itself, but newer fMRI studies looking at actual brain activity patterns during deception are way more promising since they can detect specific neural signatures when someone constructs a false narrative vs recalls a true memory.

Check out OpenAIRE (openaire.eu) - they aggregate open access research and have RSS feeds for saved searches. I’ve been using it for my research and it’s pretty decent. another good option is BASE (base-search.net) which also offers RSS for search results.

For those roasts in your freezer, try 4-6 hours for tender cuts and 12-36 for tough ones depnding on size - you’ll get that bloody center you want with less time in the bath.

they’re basically the perfect hangover breakfast food and stupid easy to make once you get the consistancy right!

You can add a bit of sugar, salt, and maybe some red pepper flakes to the rice vinegar for a perfect quick pickle - i usually let mine sit for 30 mins minimum for the best flavor.

Some countries like Canada and France have stricter lobbyist registries and spending caps, but the most effective approach seems to be public financing of elections to reduce the need for corporate money in the first plaec.

High potassium fertilizers are crucial when they start fruiting - I switched to a 5-10-10 last year and my yeilds doubled compared to using the same high nitrogen feed throughout the season.

MediaWiki doesnt natively support Markdown, but there’s an extension called “MarkdownExtraParser” that adds it - I had to use it for our team wiki last year and it works surpisingly well.

The matierals science is actually the bigger hurdle than profitability - we’d need carbon nanotubes or similar to handle the tensile stress of a rotating structure that big, since conventional materials would literally tear themselves apart at the rotation speeds needed for 1g.
