I don't have any exact figures to give you but I have discovered that taking fries out and letting them rest for a couple minutes before putting them back in for a little while definitely crisped them up.

Maybe they did, maybe they didn't, they are libertarians after all.
less a scream, more a sob, but right there with you
Late to the party with this thread but whatever.
A wide range of emotions this week but I think I'm back to feeling normal, if not motivated. The night of the election there were a lot of trans people who look up to me coming to me for consolation I couldn't give and questions I couldn't answer. I recognize that there wasn't really much I could have done to prevent this outcome but I still feel like I stood there and did nothing. I'm trying to network and see what kind of IRL organizing and activism I can do. I will say that the dissilusionment I have seen in my lib friends has been very good and I have been having conversations to nudge them towards more radical left thought.
Beyond that my experiment with vegetarianism has reignited my love of cooking all over again, the weather has been really nice, and I'm in this era of my life where I have never felt so very myself.
I hope you all have a beautiful day, be well <3
<3 thank you, this has been supremely encouraging!
The Void (2016) Its a fucking awesome not very good movie that does suspense and looking nice very well. The plot is pretty loose, a bunch of people find themselves trapped in a decaying hospital by crowds of cultists outside, inside the hospital are body horror abominations and our intrepid heroes try to figure out what the fuck is going on. Tons of practical special effects, a somewhat nonsensical story, remarkably compelling acting and a really good sense of atmosphere. The Void is a movie with a lot of heart.
The first two of the V/H/S series of short horror anthology films are an absolute blast. I haven't seen the rest but I hear they fell off.
Dawg, is this REALLY the most constructive thing you could be doing with your precious, finite lifespan right now?
I partially disagree. There are creative works that are being made today that are just as thoughtful, inspiring, aesthetically pleasing and engaging as the ones made in yesteryears. Our view of the art of the past is warped by the tendency for the good to be preserved and passed on while the bad is cast aside. However, in the past 30 years or so media corporations have gotten marketability down to a science in the name of creating safe investments, not stimulating art. That approach creates highly sucessful, super visible, and entirely bland slop like the Marvel movies and Call of Dutys of the world. Its not that its all worse, its just that the great stuff is lower profile. In my opinion the advent of high-bandwidth internet has partially counteracted this by making global distribution acessable to the everyman.
Damn, and I nixed that because I didn't want to get called Ellen lmao... thank you for your rates!

I like to think that my runners-up were strong choices but I await your judgement. (This isnt self doxing... right?)
Very haunting at times too, theres this one scene that lingered in my head for weeks. Fantastic movie, highly reccomended.
Libre office is a pretty good replacement for the Windows office suite, though I will say that Excel is a little nicer than its Libre office counterpart. You could try them out on your current system to see how they work out for you. R has a bunch of linux compatible versions though I am not so sure about Teams being able to run on such systems, there is a possibility that one might be able to run it using compatibility tools like WINE but I do not have any experience with Teams so I cant really say.
