From talking to folks I know in NC they said the same thing, they had almost a week of constant rain that on it’s own would have been historic.

Similar to the reasons I used to make chicken soup, but I make a very simple potato soup now. For me the goal is to have a nourishing and very simple meal that won't over complicate things in my digestive system and will restore some of those electrolytes you can lose through illness.

To make it, I basically just cube a few potatoes, dice an onion, and throw it into the pot with some water and simmer until the potato is soft then add a bunch of salt at the end. Super soft to eat, easy on the stomach, and restores some of the lost salts in your body.

Edit: Low key, it's also really tasty but I can see how it could come across as bland. This with some Better than Boullion veggy stock and some extra vegetables and more compound steps (like sauteing the onions) is one of my main rotation meals too.

Oh, that explains what was happening. I also regularly get that bug where if I close my lid to sleep the laptop when it's plugged in, it doesn't actually sleep and instead just overheats in my backpack on the drive home.

"White supremacy is the black hole at the center of liberal thought: not directly observable, but made apparent by how all of their other ideas orbit around it."

Yo, that macaroni salad actually looks great. I’ve never liked the sickly sweet mayo based stuff, I gotta try this.

Lmao, I see now. I wish I could be half as clever on purpose sometimes

Mills and also Pottery wheels, which arguably predate any solid evidence of wheel’d transportation

I was just about to comment on the quartz mining. The rail lines have been destroyed as well, so they can’t access what has been mined. Plus, a lot of that ended up washed away in the floods, it’s why some of the flood deposits look like straight up beach sand.

The first invented wheels weren’t even for transportation, they were grinding wheels which even further erodes their point.
