  • isn't flyleaf a christian metal band lol

    I specifically remember during my cringe christian middleschool phase learning about one of their songs that was about a mass shooter going around and asking people if they believe in god and killing them if they say yes, and thinking hell yeah that's fucking dope I would 100% tell the mass shooter to kill me cause I'm so pious.

    :brainworms:

    hate to break it to you but NASA largely operates via private companies. Before SpaceX NASA was buying most of its launches from ULA which was just a defense contractor monopoly on the launch industry. During the Shuttle era, most of its parts were made by private companies, and usually the sourcing decisions were political (congressperson x needs a gasket made in their district) rather than like, trying to efficiently build a launch vehicle using public money.

    For example, the Space Shuttle Main Engines were designed and manufactured by Rocketdyne. NASA refurbished them between flights, but for SLS (the next launch vehicle) they're being expended, meaning more money for Aerojet Rocketdyne.

    Shuttle SRBs were made by a variety of companies, including Thiokol/ATK and Pratt & Whitney

    Falafel is a good use of chickpeas.

    It's very easy, just blitz raw soaked chickpeas with parsley, garlic, some onion, some cumin/coriander, some salt, add water until it makes a malleable paste. Too little water and it will come out kinda coarse and chunky, too much and it won't form shape.

    The batter tastes really bad so you can't really taste it for ratios, but there are a ton of recipes out there. Not all of them include parsley but I like having them be bright green in the center.

    If you don't have a falafel press you can just shape them in a spoon. Make a small indent/trough with a butter knife. Deep fry in neutral oil till they're brown and crispy.

    For vegan dipping sauces there's a lot of recipes for tahini sauces. You can also use hummus, but that can be a bit chickpea-overloaded.

    When I was in college I worked at a farmers market for this Syrian lady and we sold these, so this is roughly following her recipe. She used parsley and a ton of garlic. I never got the exact recipe so I spent a while trying to re-create it after moving away. A big mistake I made trying to figure it out at first was using canned chickpeas, which are cooked, and will not hold shape while frying, but just dissolve.

    so are cetaceans. Their ancestral tree is extinct, but their land relatives were hooved carnivores.

    yeah, I mean that more generically for CPUs too since AMD is in that market as well. Edited my comment to say components rather than cards. I've been buying AMD stuff for that reason (best value for mid cost) since I built my first PC in 2006, and I guess since Ryzen came out the top shelf stuff is competitive now too, but I think (I don't follow computer trends too closely) AMD still wins pretty handily at the mid cost level.

    I just got a 6600xt for less than 300$ and its really improved my performance over what I had before.

    If you want the best of the best, get nvidia or intel, but if you want good mid range components that can run modern games well, AMD is the best bang for your buck.

    I read "off peak frequency" and immediately assumed this was going to be a naturopathic vibes crystalposting bit.

    If you think about it, Kyiv is a Taurus rising, which with it's natural harmonic of 13.2 MHz gives it an intrinsic defensive aura



  • I saw When Harry Met Sally the other day and really hated it. I don't know if it's the worst movie I've ever seen but it's popular I guess and it was fucking garbage.

    Harry is an absolute misogynist piece of shit. He's not funny, just fucking sucks as a person so hard. His "men and women can't be friends" line is basically just a boomer justification for workplace sexism and harassment.

    fucking garbage movie about a serial harasser who thinks he's a comedian
