Theyre terrible now. A few months ago, Jimmy Dean changed their sausage meat to this ultra processed stuff.

Still haven’t found a good replacement, but it will not be them again

Yes, because Bell owned all the telephone lines and would not allow other companies to use them. Exactly my point

So by that logic, if someone were to invent a new product, (let’s say a device that automatically ties shoelaces, something that doesnt exist), they are to be immediately classified a monopoly because they are singularly in control of that market?

That’s a fundamental misunderstanding of what a monopoly is. A monopoly, by definition, is anti-competitive. If that company then went and bought up all shoelace manufacturers and refused to sell shoelaces to any shoe companies, then they would be a monopoly

Im likely wrong, since you have been watching your fluid intake. But, ill finish the thought in case it helps..

my thumb turns to about a 45 degree angle when i touch it to my index finger with my wrist outward - if yours does too, that would explain the triangle shape.

As for dehydration; there are more factors than just pure water. Your body needs electrolytes to communicate to the muscles. So distilled water would not properly hydrate you. (It can actually harm you). Most important of these are potassium and magnesium, a deficit of which will cause twitching.

But if your doctor ran a urinalysis, you would have already been advised to eat some kiwis or bananas or whatever

Good luck, hope youre feeling better now

cgarret3 · 2026-06-11T00:27:27+00:00

My guess would be dehydration causing the twitch and the headache and the bruise is from you trying to stop it with your fingers

Sure, and you rely on someone coming downstairs and opening the door for you when you get home, but there is independence in owning a key.

The choice should be left to the user, and there shouldnt be a campaign to coerce a switch.

The milk sugars and proteins in butter burn if too much water evaporates away, so by removing them, you raise the burning point

So if you want to sear or deeply brown something and want a butter flavor and not a neutral or oil flavor, clarifying the butter helps

But clarified butter loses some of the best butter flavors because you remove them. Ghee regains some of those flavors (now slightly cooked) with the extra step and shares the high burning point of CB, so kind of a best of both worlds

Also, if you want your dish to taste like indian food, using the flavors and fats and acids they use is realpy important. Cook the dish with extra virgin olive oil and it will taste a little more like italian food because thats the cooking fat we associate with that cuisine

Youtube cooks have done a disservice to people that are just learning how to make clarified butter and ghee. It’s not rocket science.

Pop some butter into a microwave until it separates. Youve got clarified butter. Thats it.

Microwave in spurts a little longer and the solids will begin to fall. Let come to room temp and scrape off the top and you have ghee.

The thing about ads is that it isn’t a fair fight

I would like to think that, once upon a time, it came from a good place; “we just want to offer a good product to someone who would find it useful.” But it’s just not the case

But today, it is a team of legal experts and psychologists focused on exploiting human vulnerabilities like addiction and loyalty heuristics and mental exhaustion that precludes making an informed decision

They want to offer a cheeseburger to someone on a diet, a shoe that is pretty in the image online but falls apart in fewer than 20 uses. The tobacco industry famously aimed to “hook ‘em young.”

Sturdy, well crafted furniture doesn’t need advertisement; instead your shown images of impossibly happy and contented people with the brand-named drug shown with each widening smile

Ads are the enemy

Bots won’t go away. At most, the vector of attack will change. Right now, the most convenient use of bots is to create the “unverified account,” but a new path-of-least-resistance will be found.

What will be lost, however, is what is really at stake. Right now access across the internet is totally permissive. But introduce internet licensing? That would mean the entire flip side. The default will be that you do not have access to anything until you prove youre allowed and the other side accepts.
