Gotta say, I love reading the German memes in /all, even if I have a kindergarten-level understanding of German.

Miserere mei, Deus is one of the most beautiful vocal pieces I’ve ever heard. That descant soprano part is insane.

The best book I’ve read on religion is Small Gods by Terry Pratchett.

It offers criticism of religion and also perspective as to why people view it as a framework for interpreting the world.

Really? That sounds great, I love a bahn mi, but I’ve only had them with filleted pork or chicken. This is exactly why I asked, I love all the different ways of using such niche ingredients.

That makes sense, given the French influence in Vietnamese cuisine. There’s a large Vietnamese expat population where I live, I’ll have to try it out. Can’t wait!

I’ve never tried anchovy pase, and pairing it with dressing is something I’d never have considered. I might have to give it a go!

Now I want to try some huitlacoche. Sounds delicious.

This dude is the textbook definition of a reactionary centrist: so comfortable with his entrenched wealth that he’ll gladly sell out anyone who is getting stomped by the system that he benefits from.

Left during the API thing, and everything I see confirms that I made the right choice.

Especially the fact that there are no investors to appease, no profit motive, and no advertising. It’s like a slice of the old web.

Sekanjabin is an Iranian drink made of honey and vinegar, usually served in summer. It is sometimes seasoned with mint.

Delicious stuff. Vinegar drinks have been popular the world over since ancient times.

Have you looked into selling to reenactors?

They seem willing to pay for handcrafted stuff.

German chocolate is like a whole other food than the wax that Hershey’s pretends is the real thing.

I always thought it was a Nintendo thing first.

L’homme Arme is such a cool composition. I’d love to hear a more period-accurate version, but this one is pretty great anyway.

Maybe it’s aspirational.

Wish I’d bought a bunch when they were on clearance.

There’s another user who replied to me who answered much better than I could.

Loading a program from disk on the Commodore 64

LOAD"*",8,1

I haven’t loaded a game on that system since I was probably 10 or so, but I’ll never forget the command.

I memorized it as L-O-A-D shift-2 star shift-2 comma eight comma one.

I live in Texas, and we focused on the glories of “free-market” “laissez faire” capitalism in our American history class.

Not a word about things like the Triangle Shirtwaist fire or the Homestead Strike or the Great Railroad Strike of 1922. I’m frankly shocked that we talked about the civil rights movement at all.

Yeah, I’d have left a misogyny warning if I’d remembered that part. Thanks for the note.

Yeah, that’s pretty bad.

I still think it’s an interesting read.
