Not positive, but I think it’s a blend of canola, vegetable, and safflower oil. Whatever it is, it’s mild enough and mostly neutral to give the right flavor.

3-in-1 oil would be… unpleasant…

Man… I tried using all bacon grease as my fat when I made the roux…. That was a tough gumbo to get through. But canola with a bit of bacon grease is right. If you can find it, 1-2-3 oil in place of the canola is the tits.

Try to understand that influencers and content creators are human beings and not infallible. I don’t think Mark or Derek are the greatest people in the world, but they are trying to put educational and entertaining content out into the world, and don’t seem to be malicious in intent.

Give them a break and see where they land down the road. If they turn out to be trash, judge em all you want. As someone that doesn’t spend the time and effort to pass my experience on to others, I’ll give them a bit of wiggle room on the politics associated with operating in the public attention economy.

Because of the …implication?

Reminds me of the Jimi Hendrix song “Bold as Love”…

“…he smiles towering in shiny metallic purple armor. Queen Jealousy, envy waits behind him, Her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground. Blue are the life-giving waters taken for granted, They quietly understand. Once happy turquoise armies lay opposite ready, But wonder why the fight is on…

My red is so confident, he flashes trophies of war and ribbons of euphoria. Orange is young, full of daring, But very unsteady for the first go round. My yellow, in this case, is not so mellow, In fact, I’m trying to say it’s frightened like me. And all of these emotions of mine keeps holding me from giving my life to a rainbow like you…

But, they’re all bold as love…”

They did their damnedest to kill it with terrible decision making, though…

Is a cure for sleeping something that makes it so you don’t have to sleep or something that makes you sleep really good?

Get an EV and you’ll never have to go to a gas station again. None of the chargers I’ve seen have ads on them.

What happens if a business is losing money and can’t afford to employ its whole staff? Do they have to shut the whole business down instead of letting a certain percentage of underperformers go without cause? How is that handled in Europe?

I am genuinely asking because I have only ever experienced American employment.

It was on sale for 12 wing wangs last week. May still be on sale… check it if you want

Based on the games in your list, you should check out Horizon: zero dawn and the sequel, Forbidden West. They’re great.

…And I missed the last question.

I don’t have them on my home because my HOA disallows them. I did, however, initiate and helped manage installation of systems on 3 separate family members’ homes and since I had already done the research and the financial benefit worked out for each of them. One was 6 years ago, one was 3 years ago, and one was 2 years ago and none of them have any complaints.

The 6 yr old system is almost paid off and has already reached its pay-off value since electricity prices keep rising… meaning, they haven’t paid off the system, but would have spent more in electricity in the 6 years they have had it if they would not have installed it.

I am currently in the process of moving out of a neighborhood with an HOA and plan on installing a system as soon as I get into my new home.

Even in that case, you are overpaying in the early years and getting free electricity for the rest of the life of the system. If you can only get a 7 year loan, you may have a higher bill for 7 years, but no bill for 18 years while electricity prices continue rising is a pretty awesome benefit.

You still weigh the balance to figure out what is economically the best option.

It’s not about having the money laying around. It’s about seeing if the cost over 25 years of electric bills is higher or lower than financing $20-30k.

If it’s more expensive to pay for 25 years of electric bills, buy the solar. If it’s more expensive to finance solar and maintain, keep paying your electric bill.

In some places and buildings, it’s cheaper to use solar. In some it’s not.
