I got tired of killing my cactus so now I plant mint
  • Oooh I love cooking with mint. It's great with lamb, but it works with so many kinds of dishes!

    Here are some ideas:

    Mash it up and add it to some lemon juice, super refreshing summertime drink.

    Tabouleh is a very simple salad that includes mint, this is a goto of mine, works as a side dish with just about anything and is a great way to use up your herbs (if you're growing mint, you know what I mean, it can quickly get out of control)

    Add some mint to your pesto for a fresh take.

    Sprinkle some mint on roasted green beans.

    Watermelon chunks with feta and chopped mint. Soo good. Might freak you out, doesn't make sense to the typical American palate, but it's amazing.

  • Why The Economist endorses Kamala Harris
  • This is exactly the kind of crap I’m talking about. You are literally the first and only person who has ever called me right wing, because I objectively and genuinely hold far left beliefs, and I always have. You don’t know me, and since you obviously don’t want to engage in a good faith conversation, your trolling means nothing to me.

  • IT'S BEEN EIGHTY FOUR YEARS
  • Thanks! I was afraid you were going to say that…but it makes sense. Think I’ll go for it. Also means I can wait a while to buy Veilguard while I play Inquisition.

  • IT'S BEEN EIGHTY FOUR YEARS
  • I’ve been needing a new big game to sink my teeth into, but I haven’t played any of the other Dragon Age games. I watched the glowing euro gamer review for Veilguard and it looks amazing to me (the slightly stylized look doesn’t bother me at all). Do you think I’ll enjoy it without much context? I don’t usually buy full-priced, but I make the occasional exception for games I know I’ll play for a while…Baldurs Gate, for example.

  • Why The Economist endorses Kamala Harris
  • I didn’t see what you were responding to, but I’m very close to doing this. Yesterday I unsubbed from just about all the .ml communities I was subbed to. They’re impossible to talk to and have gotten incredibly nasty. They just start indignantly name-calling immediately, there’s no real engagement anymore. I consider myself to be extremely left wing, but I also live in the real world. They are insufferable.

  • Eric Schmidt: US Army should swap tanks for AI drones
  • That’s what’s so wild to me. They’re clearly inspired by Sci Fi concepts, imagery, and terminology, but they’ve obviously never engaged with Sci Fi as literature since much of it warns us against the very things they want to produce. Shows just how uncritical they actually are.

  • ‘Disgraceful’: A Fiery Bernie Sanders Courts Blue-Collar Voters
  • Deep breath. Bernie is a politician who sees the world for what it is. He rightly recognizes that there are only two options in this election, and he’s campaigning for the one who’s closer to his ideals. He is never shy about criticizing Harris or any politician from either party, so I think your rage would be more effective if directed at the actual bad actors. We’re days away from the election, so it’s Trump who deserves your anger, not one of the few politicians who actually cares and has consistently been on the right side of history.

  • I know you're being cute, but for those who don't know the whole story: after the jury found him civilly liable, the judge made a point of publicly clarifying that yes, he was found to have raped Carroll.

  • Not only that, but Trump was found by a jury to have raped E Jean Carrol. Reminder: we already know Trump is a rapist.

  • Chickpea, peach and halloumi salad
  • Saganaki is just a Greek appetizer made of frying cheeses, sometimes including halloumi, but not necessarily. The way you describe it is one typical way it’s prepared.

  • Chickpea, peach and halloumi salad
  • It’s cheese from Cyprus that fries without melting and has a neat squeaky feeling when you chew it. It’s perfect sliced and sauteed in a skillet with some butter. Finish it with some lemon juice for the traditional Cypriot style. The dense texture makes it ideal for tossing into salads. Fucking love halloumi.

  • Chickpea, peach and halloumi salad
  • Looks awesome! I’ve done similar salads and found that a pomegranate reduction is the perfect dressing for this type of combo. Think it’s time for another lunch…

  • One California City Wants to Get Rid of Gas | Residents of liberal Berkeley will get to vote on a second attempt to curb use of the fuel in buildings.
  • Huh, entirely possible, could also just be personal preference, maybe it’s not as objective as I thought. I’ve got a brand new seemingly high quality samsung gas range that came with my current apartment, and I completely prefer using my plug-in double induction cooktop. I even set up a wooden cover over the gas burners so I can use the induction plates on the range.

  • My Fellow Republicans, It’s Time to Say Enough With Trump
  • As much as I’m not a fan of this guy’s belief system, he has been speaking out against Trump for years now, this is just his latest.

  • My Fellow Republicans, It’s Time to Say Enough With Trump
  • There aren’t a lot of conservative judges like this guy left. He testified in front of the January 6 Committee, so Trump lost him a while ago, but his testimony and subsequent public interviews are master classes in what it means to put the country before partisanship. I strongly disagree with his judicial philosophy and his conservatism, and find a lot of his views to be antiquated and part of the problem, but he stood up and spoke out when others didn’t. That should still mean something for a judge, who rarely go public like this.

  • What's a good quiet electric heater?
  • This. They’re surprisingly energy efficient, and while they take a bit to heat up, once they get going they really radiate. I have a small one, and it gets me through the coldest days of winter without needing to turn on the built-in heaters in my apartment.

    Bonus is that my cat loooves it. He posts up right next to it and is in cozy heaven.

    Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin Meets with Trump, Pretends Not to be Aware
  • In my experience, it’s less about the job and more about the personal preferences of the agent running the background investigation. I’ve seen contractors for low-level non-sensitive positions have entire job offers rescinded because they were honest about past weed use earlier in their life (not current). I’ve seen contractors breeze through the same process while flat out lying about their past weed use, and I’ve been told that lying is typically the best option, because the agents don’t have the time or resources to follow up. But if you’re caught lying on a form you’re fucked, so it’s a mix of damned if you do damned if you don’t, but also you might be totally fine depending on how the agent feels that day. On top of that, many of the agents are contractors themselves, so there’s very little incentive for consistency.
