This Japanese style curry powder tastes really good in a Japanese style curry.

It tastes similar to the S&B curry in the can, but fresher and without the orange peel. I should try adding some zest sometime, but otherwise it uses all things I have on hand. If I have S&B, I’ll mix them half and half to get the freshness of my mix with all the secret tricks the S&B has in it.

The curry recipe is a chickpea curry, but I also sub chicken thigh chunks for the chickpeas if I want a meat curry. Just as good either way.

“Give a man injera and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to make injera and you feed him for a lifetime.”

This was my solution with naan/roti at least. I wish I had African food available near me.

I’d say anyone not planning to get screwed by this administration is doing their people a disservice.

I am happy to see the Scouts give some push back. It frankly seems more than some leaders/countries are willing to do.

Yup, screw any non-discriminatory animal control. I work at a wildlife rescue and we have to pull birds and all kinds of animals off those things, and it’s just plain cruel to rodents as well.

From reading other articles and pieces from people associated with Scouts, while they don’t get any money from the government, that isn’t to say they don’t get perks.

$1/yr leases for public land, access to property/equipment, logistical support/medical staffing for the Jamboree, jet flyovers, etc that help them stretch their funds or provide things they would t be able to access without the government’s support.

The Jamboree is a 10 day event this July, so all that staffing provided by the gov is probably a huge expense, and if Hegseth pulled all that now or in the future, they’d be screwed. So essentially, this is coercion to get what they want.

You are quite correct, I should have said the book highlighted those issues, not that it was about them. As Sinclair said, “I aimed at the public’s heart, and by accident I hit it in the stomach.”

While socialism never took off to the extent Sinclair hoped, we did get the Pure Food and Drug Act and Meat Inspection Act, though those are feeling more like suggestions rather than standards with things like these policy changes and how cleanliness and food safety were treated through the COVID epidemic.

Taken together, the draft rules are a “very telling sign of this administration and how they view blue-collar workers…they have decided that they no longer have to care about workers at all.”

If only it was new or just this administration. Thirty years ago in high school we read a book about this same exact garbage from 1906, and it wasn’t exactly news then either.

Lol, you are correct, I just rewatched it. He was debating with Jerry at the dinner about turning it into a “real charity” which quickly devolved into people showering him with praise in order show worthiness of his “generosity” (jeez, this is sounding like how I imagine the Board of Peace will operate…). When Kruger calls him in, he still chickens out and gives the money back unprompted and plays the victim of religious persecution for his father’s celebrating of Festivus instead of Christmas.

I don’t know if George would have went through with it, because his cowardice, paranoia, and desire to not actually do anything likely would have won out, so I still think he’s less evil as he at least somewhat confesses to being a fraud and he returns the money without a fuss, which doesn’t seem like the behavior of a FIFA Peace Prize winner.

At least The Human Fund didn’t actually have George stealing from anyone, it was just him being a jerk. When Mr. Kruger gave him that big check he at least somewhat came clean it was fake. The president taking tax money for his League of Villians is just outright theft like if George would have cashed the check and called the accountant a liar.

Yes, but it has been accepted as your contribution to the Board of Peace. Thank you for your donation.

One can go to other language versions of the Wikipedia as well and the info is different. The pages aren’t just translations from English.

I’ll check out different countries’ pages sometimes to see different culture references or to see what names are in other languages. Very useful.

I watched the Superbowl on a Sky Sports stream from the UK. No ads, they just cut to talking to people on the field.

Tea Party was just a new spin on what conservatives were trying to do to the country since the first World War when the Wall Street elite tried to do a fascist coup in the US. Thankfully they asked the wrong man to participate, and it was stopped.

Modern Democrats are not a liberal party. See the weak support for the new mayor of New York, whose policies aren’t really that radical but are treated as such. They begrudgingly accept things like a need for nationalized healthcare and workers unions, but they no longer go out of their way to push for those things.

Status quo like we had under Biden is the endgame of the Democrats. MAGA is endgame for the Republicans. Neither major party wants a true radical movement, and all other parties are essentially locked out of our political system.

While 6 yr old me and 16 year old me w of uld have wildly different opinions, the most significant 2 that I still love today as much as back then are:

The Simpsons, and Batman the Animated Series

Many things I’ve seen since then can’t top those two.

Here’s one! (Irish Times)

You are right, I completely forgot about Book Club! Shame on me. 😮

Thanks for reminding me of this! With having reached my limits with US politics, I’ve dropped all my podcasts for the last few months so I haven’t heard Margaret for a while now.

Margaret is great on every topic she covers, but as someone who isn’t trans, I feel she’s really helped me to have a better understanding about the internal and external pressures surrounding the subject matter. I’m sorry I still can’t really verbalize any of my feelings on it, but I’d say to anyone thinking that writing about trans people is written only for trans people, I don’t find this to be the case with any of Margaret’s work. I’ve never had the physical sensation of someone unlocking parts of my mind so frequently to things it couldn’t grasp before.

I’ve been wanting to find something to break up my power run of reading Discworld for the first time, and I think this would be a great book to do that with.

You dont wanna feed those things to animals you like! 😅

Rats can be expensive! They go for around $2-5 each, and it adds up really fast when you’ve got a lot of carnivores to feed.

It’s really tough anymore to post positive content here. It feels like spitting on a fire to put it out.

I’m from the US, but I’ve always tried to include everyone in my posts, at the price of looking ignorant every now and then when I get things wrong, but it’s nice when I’ve had people from across the world remark how they’re pleasantly surprised to see something local to them being covered by a non-local. I’ve learned so much in return from just having brief interactions with users from other countries, just by showing some genuine interest in them, their languages, and their home countries. But outside of my own posts, it’s hard to find a place on Lemmy where there doesn’t seem to be things looking to drive a wedge between us.

I used to be able to jump into random posts, even if it was something I wasn’t very familiar with, to try to get conversations going, but so many news/political posts just feel rigged to get people riled up, and I’ll scroll through and not find anything to interact with a lot now.

Plenty of people tell me that I’m doing something important by doing positive stuff here. I really like the small community we’ve got of people that regularly interact. It’s hard to feel like I’m making any kind of difference though. I’m going to show up as long as people are talking to me, but there’s plenty of times I ask myself why I don’t just devote this time back into music or my volunteer work. I’ve dropped all my news and politics podcasts at this point because I’m sick of hearing it all. I censor myself on discussing animal rights issues because I don’t want to add to the pile of negative stuff to worry about. I’ll keep at it the best I can, but a lot of people here are sure making it an exhausting effort some days.
