Not only do they wholeheartedly support it, but they emphatically push it. The irony of pushing for something that you don't have to actually fight for, like they are "better" than other Israelis.

They are also the ones that are rabid supporters of Netanyahu as well, apparently because he tried to give them preferential treatment.

Cause you're tasting that sweet, sweet nostalgia.

I'd bet if you gave someone that's never had Mac and cheese before Kraft Mac vs a good gourmet Mac, the gourmet will win by an absolute landslide.

Cheap Mac and cheese isn't good because it's good... It's good because of the old memories attached to it.

Bro, that's not good Mac and cheese. You haven't had good Mac and cheese. I promise you.

Check out how to use sodium citrate and what it does.

Them get yourself some of your favorite cheese.

For me, smoked Gouda and cave aged cheddar and a little pecorino romano if I've got it.

Roughly 4-5g of sodium citrate per 100g of cheese. Use water or milk, start with a half cup and add more as you need it, honestly there's more than enough fat content in the cheese that it won't make a difference. Shred cheese and add to simmering water. Keep adding cheese until everything is in the pot, and the sauce is perfectly smooth. There should be no lumps. Add more water or milk to desired consistency, and add some mustard powder, cayenne, and garlic. And salt to your preference. It's the creamiest Mac and cheese you'll ever have, and the depth of flavor is game changing. I promise you.

You can even take it to the next step with caramelized onions or shallots and some crumbled sausage. Finish with some bread crumbs, a little paramesian, and some smoked paprika on top, and toss it under the broiler for a minute to toast up.

For reference, the photo of the "Juneteenth" version is melted cheese with noodles. Fuck that. The recipe I gave you will look like the stuff on the right, and its so fucking good, you'll discover God in that bowl of Mac and cheese.

I'm not going to say they're not real or not sentient. But I will absolutely say that they are selfish. They lack the empathy required to understand how things will affect others. They lack the willingness to sacrifice for the greater good. They lack the humility required to understand that they could be wrong, and the critical reasoning required to change their views in the face of new evidence.

Almost every conservative I've ever met is either extremely rich or lives in microcosm. Hell, I've got extended family that have never travelled outside of their hometown and anything foreign or different to them is either ridiculed or shunned.

They want a social hierarchy, and they want their place in it preserved. God forbid people get equitable standing.

Hey! Where's the Russian Agents, I mean MAGA Patriots, I mean Genocide Joe crowd at rn? You know the ones that constantly complain that Biden should have personally airdropped over Gaza and personally saved the children? You know, the ones that demand Biden to destroy any and all ties to an ally that may or may not have long lasting repercussions with our existing allies? You know, the ones that actually think geopolitics are easy?

I mean, we literally know that Russia and China is antivax conspiracies, and anti-demoracy, pro-fascism rhetoric that people absolutely just eating up. Anything they can do to help push the nation to be more right-leaning is better for them.

We'll that's huge. NumPy is fantastic. Had to use it for a bunch of linear algebra calculations for a Mars Atmospheric Descent Calculator. Fully mapped the trajectory and flight path as it entered the Martian Atmosphere. Was a cool little program...

A Light Phone or Light phone 2 is capable of doing literally everything you need from a smart phone without the bloat and distraction. It's legitimate with most service providers as well.

There's viable options out there that aren't "flip phones".

Alteon ,

They can be used on each of the following carrier's:
AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon (except for prepaid plans and Number Share), Ting, Mint, US Mobile.

So, I'm not sure what you mean by providers who give "free upgrades"...

It's cheaper than most smart phones and does everything you need it to do without games and social media.

Well...ain't that just the fucking truth...ugh

On one hand, this will fucking suck....however, no one will be able to argue that global warming isn't real as this will be the very real consequences to ignoring climate change.

Obscure screw added so appliance cannot be disassembled ( lemmy.world )

Basic blender went bad (motor ran but spindle wasn't rotating). I wanted to disassemble to see if it could be repaired. Three of the four screws were Phillips head. I had to cut the casing open in order to discover why I couldn't unscrew the fourth. It was a slotted spanner.

Everyone should have a Dremel. Damn thing is so useful.

UN votes to back Palestinian membership, prompting Israeli envoy to shred charter ( www.theguardian.com )

The UN general assembly has voted overwhelmingly to back the Palestinian bid for full UN membership, in a move that signalled Israel’s growing isolation on the world stage amid global alarm over the war in Gaza and the extent of the humanitarian crisis in the strip. The move drew an immediate rebuke from Israel. Its envoy to...

The Israeli Government can eat a bag of dicks. They brought this on themselves. They had every right to respond to the attack from Hamas and get their people back, but their response was... fucking abhorrent. They've wiped out the entire Gazan infrastructure. Their electric, sewage, water, their schools, universities, and hospitals. They destroyed so many homes that literally half the people are homeless. They've humiliated, tortured, maimed, and murdered men, women, and children.

Israel's response was horrific. They used this attack on Israel as an opportunity to ethnically cleanse Gaza. I'm glad that the rest of the world could come together and agree that this was totally wrong.

Alteon ,

Yeah, they really went in hard with Suicide Squad, to be perfectly frank, the only good thing to come out of suicide squad was the Peacemaker show on HBO.

Alteon ,

Fuck yeah! Go students!

Look at what you guys can accomplish when you protest!

I believe you can actually get a refund for the remaining time if you cancel it now.

Hey! Would you be willing to sell some of them? Looking at setting up a server at home that some of my friends and neighbors can use. I was going to buy them brand new, but I'd be fine with used if your interested in getting rid of some of them.

Alteon ,

100%. This actually works. Most boomers are not technologically late enough to track subscriptions and such.

There was a YouTube video not a documentary (similar to The Brainwashing of My Dad) where their father went down the rabbithole, but they started subscribing them to better news sources, and eventually to left-leaning news sources, and he did a whole 180°.

Fear is like a drug. It's addictive, and rightwing media sources have cracked the formula on how to get people addicted to it, and it can happen to ANYONE. The uneducated to the well-educated. The only thing that makes you immune to it is critical thinking and empathy - which is why I feel that their next war is on education and masculinity. They are literally trying to perfect the addiction so you can never leave it.

This is part of the reason why education is so insanely important.

I've learned to back off and realize that commas, instead of parentheses, often work just fine.
