Not really a hack but just something important, always remember to account for how much salt you need if you don’t have the recipes specific type of salt because different salt types have different shapes and sizes
Also (and I know this is obvious to many) aim to undersalt your dish. You can always add more salt but it’s hard to fix oversalting. If it needs more flavors, use herbs and spices. If you’ve already added a good bit of salt and you’re nervous about oversalting, add some acid. Wine, vinegar, lemon juice, lime juice, etc. That might reveal flavors that the salt was trying to bring out!
Have you bothered to research the consensus and what Debian’s new release has? Literally 2 minutes away if you search internet instead of replying. Do not expect spoonfeeding.
I have been using Debian for about 20 years now. Server and desktop. But I recently migrated all my server stuff to FreeBSD and I don’t think I will move back. Jails are great and provide me a convenient way to isolate my apps. On the desktop side I will stay with Debian.
Reading about stoicism. It’s like an ethical anchor in my life now, a guide to be happy. It’s like the upgraded version of religious belief, perfectly fitting in the 21st century (even though it’s thousands of years old).
Hello, I’m only 22 years old but I want to learn more about this. Will I be able to grasp the depth of the concept at my age or is it inherently for people who have already gained experience in life?
Everyone can understand the basic concepts of stoicism. Most of them are easy to understand, but hard to apply.
Unfortunately I can not recommend any English literature, but I see Deren Browns “Happy” getting recommended a lot. The books I read all had a practical focus, trying to apply stoic ideas to day-to-day life. Most stoics will recommend to also read historical literature, like Marcus Aurelius “Meditations” - this might be a bit too much for beginners.
For me personally, the most helpful stoic idea is the “dichotomy of control”. It basically says that you shouldn’t worry about things or facts you can’t change (“externalities”) and instead focus on the things that actually are under your control. And those are VERY few things.
A trivial example: Why should I worry about the “bad” weather during my holidays? I certainly can not control the weather and by nature, the weather is neither good or bad. It’s my brain that gives a sunny day more value than a thunderstorm. So instead of complaining about the weather, I should try to make the best out of it and maybe even appreciate it.
I’ve learned that no matter how nice people seem, they can still fuck you over when money is involved.
Invested quite a lot of money and they chose to remove all contact with me after I told them I wouldn’t bail out their debt.
So lesson learned. Absolutely make people accountable for their managerial actions every single day before they throw a business into debt. And get out if they show red flags of fucking up.
Sadly it does not stick the landing but everything up to that point is great. Love how it plays with the fact that the audience already expects Bill Skarsgård to be creepy.
Worked with someone senior to me in my org, who would always complain about how people don’t know how to work well or get too distracted by new technology etc. It was often compelling and made you feel guilty about not being better.
Then I realised they were unconsciously talking about themselves. They were always distracted by their emails and computer and hardly ever getting good work done.
You hear about people projecting. But to see it in person and realise that a whole person’s seemingly insightful or valuable position on what’s “good” was just self-centred abuse is quite another thing.
I was never one to take authority seriously, quite the opposite really, but this really removed what little ability I had to perceive someone with respect without massive amounts of evidence and proof.
There are few hero’s amongst us. We’re all pretty flawed and broken.
When I first got my computer Hotmail was the e-mail of choice. Everyone had to have a Hotmail account, it let you use MSN Messenger!
I didn’t write down the spelling, and as a 12-13 year old I typed in “hot male dot com”
Coincidentally that was also one of the first times I realised I’m probably not straight.
Grilled cheese hack: assemble the sandwich open-faced on a baking sheet and place under the broiler for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling and slightly browned, then close it up and cook it like normal in a covered skillet on medium heat with butter. The cheese will be completely melted and (more importantly) it will stay melted while you’re actually eating the sandwich, and the browning on the cheese adds a big flavor component.
I used to make them the normal way just in a skillet, and even if the cheese was just barely melted it would cool off and re-solidify before I started eating it. And often I would burn the crust just trying to get the cheese melted.
I know it sounds cliché and… Well… Wanky, but it’s true.
Trying and failing will always feel better than just giving up.
Like someone? Say something. They could humilate you and literally kick you in the balls and in 5 years i guarantee you’ll regret it less than if you say nothing. (This is not an excuse to be creepy. If they say NO, then hear the NO. Shit happens. Move on.)
Have an idea for something cool? Try to make it reality. The sad truth is, honestly it’s probably going to fail, but at least you will be able to say you tried.
And that 1 fucking time I’m wrong… My god, that 1 time. That’s where the best that life has to offer exists. But first…
You have to try…
So ask yourself, really. What’s the worst that could happen? … Aaaand now ask yourself… What’s the best that could happen?
