This one proposes a mechanism for how it works

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8313851/

Low-Dose Naltrexone is cheap and there is evidence it helps some people a lot with CFS, maybe ask about that? It is naltrexone, but taken at very small dose it has what the researchers call a 'novel effect' that is sort of the opposite. I don't know that anything cures it but don't lose hope or think nothing can help. People are studying it.

    I agree with this - in the late 1980s/early 90s when I was a kid I wore clothes exclusively from the thrift store, there were dresses from the 1950s, even the 1940s, I could get good cheap boots from the army navy surplus, could look so good and unusual, in quality stuff, for very little money.

    It's all been monetized now, there is only crap left after the reseller market. I'm not going to make a value judgement on that but you are 100% right it ruined the experience and the ability to get good stuff cheap to use or wear.

    I think y'all are missing the possibility that this is malicious compliance. Though DeSantis did not.

    The law is stupid on its face but the way conservatives will see that is something like this.

    Yes, well full disclosure - I don't actually like hamburgers in general, but the black beans specifically do have an affinity with the bacon, it's very good. And instead of making an already greasy situation greasier, the cheese and bacon offset the usually dry burger. This is my standard burger order at the grill in the little cafe at my work.

    I am. Sorry. You know they make us use Copilot? It cussed on Thursday (not kidding. I have, surprisingly, never cussed at it so not sure how it did) and soon after that, went down. I broke it.

    Well, sure. Nobody should be proud of something they got by birth, and I do think beauty as something you DO or even buy is more egalitarian than a standard based on heredity, where you can just lose or win and can't change it.

    Overall I have seen the ideal of beautiful get much more varied and diverse over my lifetime, which is nice, too.

    We are having a party tonight(though nobody has arrived yet) and the cocktails are:

    Toxic Avenger - fresh pineapple juice, Mezcal, Chartreuse, honey.

    Blood Orange Margarita with green mango tequila.

    Black Jellybean, always my Halloween favorite - vodka, sambucca, vanilla, cream soda, this year no lime just a pinch of citric acid in the pitcher, much cleaner

    Mojito.

    Friend Zone (N/A) - strawberry kvass, tonic, lemon. Shockingly good.

    Also: Tepache de pina, coffee, diet coke. Beer & cider.

    Some of the watermelon (thelemmy.club)
     

    Got near a hundred mini watermelon this year, the very late ones were no good but for a couple months they were glorious. Mini love variety, it was a brutally hot summer and they flourished, I let them take over the whole garden.

    Two plants survived being overrun by watermelon, the asparagus and the hong tsoi. I'm sort of resting it until "spring" which is planted around Feb here.

    This weekend's bread (thelemmy.club)
     

    Very basic scoring this time. One line one x. I was happy to find some "golden whole wheat flour" yesterday.

    350g Golden whole wheat flour

    650g strong white bread flour

    20g sel gris

    675g tap water

    200g starter made with all purpose white flour and tap water, hydration 100%.

    Just mix, rest, stretch and fold 4x at 30 minute intervals. Bulk rise took awhile, maybe 4 hours this time (it varies, one hour to 8 - is a condition not a time). Split and bench rest then shaped, into cloth lined baskets wrapped in plastic bags, overnight in the refrigerator. Baked cold bread in very hot closed pans 20 minutes then open lids and 20 minutes more. 450F.

     

    (Sorry for the mixed measurements - I had a bunch of egg white so had to weigh out 1 egg worth)

    35 grams egg white

    1 Tbsp guava jelly or guava paste

    1 oz good mezcal

    1/2 oz over proof reposado tequila

    1/2 oz Aperol

    3/4 oz lemon juice

    ETA I failed to list one step. First: whisk or muddle the jelly and booze to incorporate it.

    Shake without ice, then with ice. Just as good as it sounds and so beautiful.

    El Diablo (thelemmy.club)
     

    It's not a looker, but tastes great.

    2 oz tequila (any)

    1 oz lime juice

    1 oz creme de cassis

    2-3 oz ginger beer (I used 1 oz ginger syrup, 3 oz fizzy water, 2 squirts of fire tincture)

    Result of googling "what else can I make with tequila and lime"

    Husband is having a Stella, that's the bottle in the background.

    Legolas lounging (thelemmy.club)
     

    He's up to 7.5 lb from under 1 lb when we found him. (From 300 grams of baby to 3.5kg of kitten in only a few months, crazy.)

    Here is a "before", the day my kids texted to say they found the source of the meowing I had heard before work. Just a wee handful. Always bold as anything though, he was never afraid of us or our 75lb mutt of a dog.

     

    1 oz barrel strength bourbon

    1 oz barrel strength reposado tequila

    1 scant oz Aperol with a splash of Campari to make an ounce.

    1 oz Amaro Nonino

    1 oz grapefruit juice

    1 oz lemon juice

    Shake together with ice. If you are somewhere it's not still summer, serve up in a chilled coupe. Tart enough for a sugared rim. But it's still hot here, so everything is iced. This is sort of 1.5 servings, I just find it fussy to measure .75 of an ounce. Equal parts is the key.

    Equal parts tequila, mezcal, Apricot liqueur and lime, half part Aperol works best IMO, any more Aperol and it gets too sweet.

    This is a pantry recipe for me as I keep Giffard Abricot in stock always. You want a good apricot in this, I think passion fruit or peach would be equally delicious but make sure it's made from real fruit. Also can sub Campari for the Aperol if you want a little more bitter.

     

    Ok so my garden is basically a watermelon patch right now, so I was interested in this as it uses one whole mini watermelon, but this says the juice lasts one day, the drink once clarified lasts months.

    I guess I could freeze the rest, or simply make less, or since the final version keeps well, make more of that - but why does the recipe say to make so much more of the watermelon juice than one would use, if it doesn't keep?

    Has anyone on here done milk clarifying, is it very fussy?
