    You definitely do have to work harder to find more diverse viewpoints here. It’s a bit of a chicken and egg problem. At least on mastodon you can specifically follow people who talk about things outside your realm of experience.

    There are excellent American-made butters done traditionally. I hate that they’re making me defend the US but they have no monopoly on shitty food. It’s kinda just another form of exceptionalism.

    There’s no secret to good butter. Grass fed cows, fermented milk, and high fat content. It’s just expensive.




  • It can work out financially - I don’t know how they do it specifically, but suppose they put all the lifetime subs into one investment pool and used the interest on that to fund operations.

    $300 can generate $20 per year for them. So I benefit by only having to pay once, and they benefit by getting a chunk up front instead of having it drip out over time.

    Up front cash can also mean the ability to invest in larger things. They can put it into infra budget instead of ops budget.








  • Among the other suggestions people have made in this thread, I’d like to add that just covering something and allowing the food to steam-heat makes a big difference. For instance I will usually poke a well in the middle of leftovers, put a tiny bit of water in (especially with rice, which dries out) and cover it with a plate. The water boils and heats it much better.
