The easiest thing is to buy staples to use them FIFO. That way, you're not stuck with 100 lbs of honey, flour, or such.


Don't you mean LIFO?


No - it’s fifo


yes it is, I commented before coffee :)


Just moved out of CA. Went through Loma Prieta, Camp Fire, and numerous power outages. The other likely natural disaster is a megaflood like 1861-2.


Be prepared. - scouts motto.

Anyone who's been through several natural disasters or lives in the northern midwest already should take reasonable preparedness in stride.


Apple has always be proprietary and always will. Apple II and Macintosh Plus days, they sold all their own peripherals.

I had a Dell XPS 13 1645 that had a great display, but everything else about it was awful.

Well, in reality, you can't be a purist or you'll end up with nothing. The Lenovo T480 is solid and has two batteries.


What? The Apple II was a fantastically open machine! It even came with the circuit schematic and ROM source code right in the manual! It had lots of slots and there was a massive third-party ecosystem. It was when Jobs got to design machines with the Apple III/Lisa/Mac that things closed up.


I support this message. :)

Coincidentally, I just moved to Austin and am rebuilding my hot sauce collection. Does anyone else have an absurd, hoarder stash of spicy substances in glass bottles? Any tips on sourcing quality hot sauces locally?

PS: at a long gone sushi place in Capitola, I took the "satan roll" challenge and asked for seconds. Although I got an employee monogrammed/embroidered polo shirt and scared most of the Japanese waitresses, I wouldn't consider either an accomplishment.


Rx only. I've taken it for weight gain from mirtazapine along with statins for familial hypercholesterolemia. IF is better but it leads to reduced energy levels, increased aggression, reduced concentration, and is inconvenient.


The rich get richer by taxing the poor and using the government as their personal socialist piggybank.


Sure, the rich might be getting richer, and the poor might be getting poorer, though for all intents and purposes this change seems to affect the middle class, or what is left of it.

What I don't understand is how that ties in with socialism. In modern times, in developed countries, socialism generally pulls the poor up and the rich down (e.g. scandinavia, northern europe, canada-sort-of). How did you reach the conclusion that a relatively right-wing government is socialist?


For the record, inequality is on the rise in the Nordics too.


It's socialism for the wealthy.


Okay, fair enough, I guess what I'm getting at is that I find it hard to call that socialism of any kind: it's just corrupt government via bribery (probably).


This comes down to the right in the US boiling "socialism" down to mean "the government gave you something", ie any sort of government based handout.

They of course omit this opinion when it's rich people getting government handouts


You misspelled a hateful, discriminatory word. Maybe you could do the world a favor by sticking to facts and policies, not people's appearance and attributes?


A few corporations have replaced public commons, leading to inverted totalitarian rule by fiat with an illusion of alternatives.

Furthermore, the "liberals" nowadays differ markedly from the liberals years ago who wanted to and encourage debate. Instead, the circular firing squad keeps looking for the next victim to shout-down, take offline, and ignore completely because that's their strength: demolition.


There are competing tyrannies in every society: old/young, rich/poor, individual/society, etc.
