  • I mean they could keep going until the last wild tree dies, the last fish chokes, and the last person gets to breathe for free. And then the whole system crashes, because there’s literally nothing left to take.

    I agree it’s unsustainable, I just think that unless we do something to stop them, they will literally let us die by the billions, if it means they get to be in charge of the toxic landfill planet.



  • With pleasure. I’m still perfecting it, but so far the base is

    • 1/2 block extra firm
    • dash of dark soy (tbsp?)
    • little pinch of salt, unless soy sauce is super salty

    Roughly peel the extra firm with vegetable peeler. Any big chunks that fall off can be crumbled by hand to add even more body.

    Sprinkle salt, Dash dark soy sauce over. Then it’s anyone’s game. Things I’ve tried (not always together):

    • onion powder?
    • garlic powder?
    • minced garlic?
    • chili flakes? (Essential, imo)
    • tsp cumin?
    • fennel seeds?

    Anyway, whatever you choose, medium heat 1 to 2 tbsp olive in pan, dump your mixture in and loosely turn every 5 minutes. Takes about 30. The end result will kind of look like mushrooms cooked on a griddle.








  • I remember my most uovoted comments were always the pithy little sentences that didn’t add much, but captured the zeitgeist. Meanwhile I’d write an essay with a proper thesis and everything in a niche community and get like one downvote for my trouble.

    One of the reasons I turn off vote displays here. I don’t consider it real engagement. Yeah we all do it to be polite, but it doesn’t mean anything. A hundred upvotes is like a hundred people replying “ok” or “ya” — not even.

    Anyway that’s my hobby horse, thanks for reading.



  • I’m reminded of a scene near the end of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, where the protagonist becomes like this venerated sandwich artisan on a tiny out-of-the-way planet.

    Agreed that most sandwiches are better fresh. Any kind of dampness or shudder sogginess, totally knocks off 10 points.

    My sandwiches are made with this fried tofu mix of my own design lol, so might not appeal to others but I still appreciate the art generally.

    While we’re sharing, my secret technique is toasting the inside of the sandwich breads, so you get soft bite going in then a little crunch on the inside.







  • Excellent summary. Just as a bit of trivia I’ll add that Linux file permissions go like r w x (read write execute) = 4 2 1, so taken all together a 7 means the indicated user can do all those operations.

    And yeah, it breaks your system in surprising ways. Most people would just have to start over.
