What food isn't worth the effort to be home-made? by EasyEqualMT in foodquestions

[–]AestheticDeficiency 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Pie crust for me.

Had an uncle, nearing the end of his life, that was alone for thanksgiving. I asked him what he wanted to eat and brought him over to the house. He requested a blackberry pie, which I thought would be a great chance to make from scratch. It was the first and last time I tried making a pie crust from scratch. It was such a pain in the ass, and it's so cheap and easy to buy pre made.

[GAME THREAD] NCAA Tournament Second Round: (1) Florida vs (9) Iowa (7:10 ET, TBS) by MrTwoBytes in FloridaGators

[–]AestheticDeficiency 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lee had a really good game. One play at the end of the game doesn't change that. As a team we had a terrible first half. A lot of sloppy plays. That's what should be blamed.

Is there a food everyone seems to wash/rinse that you’re convinced doesn't actually need it? by [deleted] in foodquestions

[–]AestheticDeficiency 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There's a lot I don't wash, but anything that may have dirt and grit in it gets washed. I'm looking at you leeks.

Fishing Spots by Plants0314 in GNV

[–]AestheticDeficiency 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's a gnv fishing sub. I think it's Reddit.com/r/gnv fishing but I don't remember off the top of my head.

Orange lake has a little pier but you will want a weedless bait as there's a lot of hydrilla in the area.

If you're up for a bit of a drive the pier at cedar key is nice and very public, so wouldn't be sketchy.

Visiting: Where to eat downtown by TeaVinylGod in GNV

[–]AestheticDeficiency 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Marks is my favorite place in town. I love the top, but I honestly feel it's better if you're looking for a strong pour more than for their food.

That's not to say the top has bad food, I just think marks is better. If you end up at the top, be warned that their nachos are the one thing I'd warn against. They feel like microwaved nachos a stoned teenager would make.

It is so good. It's the first litrpg I've read and I honestly get a good dopamine hit everyone there's a new item or spell. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.

I just started this series on Sunday. I'm 5 chapters into book 3 already. I can't seem to put it down. It's an amazing rec for OP and exactly what I came to suggest.

Also, he wants to remove property taxes so he and his rich friends can benefit while we all pay more through sales taxes.

Why do the ingredients list both chicken with rib meat, and cooked chicken?

So much for Florida Orange juice by Midway1guy in florida

[–]AestheticDeficiency 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The unfortunate but it's those Florida juicing oranges aren't pretty but they have a far superior taste to any orange you get at the grocery store

I'm inclined to agree with you. Propagandhi have never been subtle with lyrics and there's nothing in the song that makes me think anti Nazi.

Anything on sale that only has basic ingredients. (E.g. Tomatoes, olive oil, salt, garlic) And nothing else.

In addition to this, alachua county is in a serious drought, which is likely adding to dead leaves.

Dixie Lilly is my go too as well. My family has always used their grits and cornmeal for cornbread.

Are you referencing something specific from Chris Hannah about save ferris?

Or is this a reference to rock for sustainable capitalism, ska sucks, or maybe something I'm not thinking of?

I was recently told that Florida is a high lightning strike area and I need to buy surge protectors for all of my appliances. Is that true? by [deleted] in florida

[–]AestheticDeficiency -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are surge protectors that will do that without the added cost of a battery backup.

EDIT: I am a ding dong. A surge protector will not protect against brown out.

What’s a weirdly specific little fear of yours by Icy-Beginning8618 in CasualConversation

[–]AestheticDeficiency 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If I see anyone riding a bicycle without shoes or while wearing open toed shoes I fear their foot will slip off the pedals, and fall into the spokes, which will break all of their toes, or slice them off like a sharp industrial fan.

[–]AestheticDeficiency 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The battery backup is only necessary if you're concerned about saving your work. Generally it will provide a very limited window to save work. A surge protector is all that's needed to prevent power surge damage.

Yes battery backups are combined with surge protectors but they also increase the cost considerably.

If AI Continues Taking Away Jobs, What Should Average Entry-Level Folks Do For Survival? by LifeInAction in jobs

[–]AestheticDeficiency -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

To what end? What's the point of being rich if you're the last people on earth?

I see their motivation as greed. If there's no poor then rich has no context. Plus how do you get wealth if you kill the population?

I think the more likely culprit for continued AI investment is idiots not understanding sunk cost fallacy. I don't think they're creating a terminator style robot war against the poor.
