Came here to say that. It’s worthless until it’s cut down, dug up, or siphoned up and sold for profit.

That’s capitalism.

So… We’re not getting the Terminator apocalypse? It’s going to be The Matrix apocalypse after all?

No.

I don’t have to go read articles about the latest update to see if it’s going to break and have to sift through documentation for a fix or a workaround and troubleshoot on nearly every update on Debian. Or Redhat, OpenSUSE, etc.

I mean, they earned it…

I mean, I get the appeal. But I’m to old for this shit now. I have a life I need to take care of.

Why would anyone want to use a distro that can break at any update unexpectedly or have to read articles first to see if it’s safe is beyond me.

It’s too much of a hassle.

Oh wait. This what I’m talking about.

• 2 cups 35% cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 bean of madagascar vanilla
• 5 eggs
• 3/4 cups sugar

In a small saucepan, mix the milk & cream. Cut the vanilla bean in half lengthwise. Scrape the interior to collect all the seeds and dump them in the cream mixture along with the vanilla bean husk. Heat it up on medium heat. (Don’t boil it!) Once it’s hot, turn off the heat and let the vanilla steep.

In the meantime, seperate the egg yolks from the egg whites. In a large saucepan, mix the egg yolks with the sugar and manually whip them together until the mixture turns a very pale yellow.

Once the cream mixture cooled a bit, using a ladle, very slowly pour the cream mixture over the yolk mixture while continually stirring with a wooden apoon and make sure you let it cool before adding more or your yolks are going to turn into an omelet and create lumps. Keep stirring!

Once it’s all mixed, set it on the stove over a low heat (if your stove goes up to 10, set it to 2 or 2 and a half) and KEEP STIRRING ! Don’t ever stop stirring. Eventually it will thicken up. It should get thick enough that if you draw a line on the back of the wooden spoon with your finger, the cream shouldn’t drip over the line.

Once it’s thickened enough, pour into a bowl and set that bowl in a tub of cold water. (I usually fill the sink half way with cold water and set it in there. ) Keep stirring. You want to cool it to stop the cooking process.

Finally, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or whatever and leave it in the fridge overnight.

The next day, pour it in the ice cream machine and let it do its thing.

For a little extra, add 1-1.5 ouncse of bourbon while it’s doing its thing.

Exactly. I make my own ice cream at home. Vanilla is my go to. It’s amazing.

Yeah. Humans suck big time.

Yeah. Lab grown meat is a thing.

So is meat created from feces.

Oh man. Soylent Green is pretty fucking close to what we’re living right now.

• Climate change
• Housing being out of reach for working people who are now living in staircases and in the streets
• Women losing their rights and becoming “furniture”

I think you’re forgetting the time frame of the discussion here. We’re talking about the plague which happened in the late middle-ages. China was essentially the central power of Asia back then.

Right??? I look at European societies in the 1500-1600s and it wasn’t much better than what we have today. It was the same kind of shit with rich people ruling over everything.

Meanwhile most of the native peoples here were free, as in REALLY free.

But I don’t know about Central and South American societies though. They must have had some form of society where the richer people had more control. We seem to evolve that way.

Oh, no doubt!

I wonder…

East Asia wasn’t struck by the plague as far as I know. It was contained to Europe, North Africa and West Asia.

EDIT: Sorry. To clarify what I mean is that maybe the had means to quarantine people and stop the spread of infections diseases. Maybe their hygiene was much better too. A lot of it was due to poor Hygiene. But yeah, maybe a pandemic could have happened like anywhere else I suppose, sooner or later.

Who colonized China?

I mean… you forget China. And most of Asia. They were already pretty advanced. They introduced math and science and philosophy to Europe.

Not to mention there were important trade routes between Europe and China. And north Africa too.

I’d bet technology would’ve made its way into central and South America where they already were pretty advanced.

I wonder.

Even Japan had colonization from the mainland peoples that drastically changed the native culture which seemed to resemble much more the American native people’s culture.

Got it. 👍
