Fourth largest country in the world, a pseudo-democracy like our government, right off the coast. You don't hear a fucking whisper about them unless some moron is breaching their boarders during a dick polishing exercise.
Conscription is fucking evil. Forcing people to die for a fucking legal entity.
Training programs for a population is one thing, so people are ready if they choose to fight in the face of a threat that is actually existential but forcing people to go murder other poor sods over lines on a map somewhere else in the world is... something.
But what if China raided our trade routes with China!
It's antisemetic to report on an army gunning down semetic civvies.
I dunno how much blood is personally on his hands, but the government certainly continues to support and arm their genocidal regime.
Settler-colonial solidarity I suppose :s would be nice if our lords and masters could be on the right side of history for once.
Something I really struggle with on this shit, is the government has cracked down so hard here, but like aboriginal Aussies are still undergoing genocide here as we speak. Massive overpolicing, massively higher deaths in custody, massively higher deaths in healthcare, horrific amounts of racism. Yet apparently we need a special action body on legitimising Israel :|
All science is art and all art has a science to it :p but I take your meaning that certain facts are best, or perhaps only, attainable experientially.
I'll have a play.
Edit: protip for anyone trying this: Check the relative densities of the fluids first lmao
If you have the patience a handful of specific questions:
- Do you use the concave or convex side of the spoon?
- About how high do you hold the spoon off the surface?
- About what angle do you hold the spoon to the surface?
- If pouring on a large area do you move the spoon about or do you keep pouring in one place and let the liquid spread?
- Where onto the spoon do you pour the liquid?
Much obliged.
Could you clarify that spoon technique? That might be useful.
Honestly Mr Trichs that probably depends on how blazed you wanna get. The coconut cream is quite fatty and does not disrupt the gel. As long as it's largely water by mass and well emulsified before setting should be fine.
Note this is like very soft, um here we would call it jelly. I think in the usa it's maybe Jello? A dilute gelatine and sugar preparation. If you wanted to be able to pick it up/be more rough you may want to raise agar to ~0.5%?
It isn't chewy like a gelatine gummy.
It's necessary
Nah this is coconut and peach. I'm gonna be playing with citrus though, since agar can hack the low pH.
Lemon lime and bitters is probably coming up, really though I'm stoaked to have a 5 minute dessert.

Further experiments in vegan jelly things

So as you can see this yields a pretty pleasantly jiggly jelly. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get reliable layer adhesion which you can also see.
This is 0.25% agar and 0.2% guar the latter helps make the gel elastic and reduce weaping, agar alone tends to be brittle. The rest is ~~druid~~ fruit syrup, just boil for a couple of minutes to fully hydrate the agar :)
- no druids were harmed in the making of this

I figured out how to make chewy, bouncy, vegan jelly treats!
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
It's badly formed because I had to make it in a cake tin lined with paper due to lack or other moulds that would fit in my steaming baskets.
This has been my white whale as it were. I have it on good authority that agar and locust bean gum works but I am not a millionaire and can't afford locust bean gum.
Here are the directions: A base recipe as an idea for ratios, 30g sucrose, 49g water, 20g tapioca starch, 1g agar agar.
Mix sugar, agar, and water. Heat to ~90 degrees and mix thoroughly to ensure good agar dissolution. Allow to cool in a water bath at ~40 degrees, keep above agar setting temp and below tapioca gelatinisation temp (~60 degrees).
slowly add tapioca starch (alternative reserve some water initially to make a slurry, you'll need about 4/5ths the mass of starch, and heat that in the bath to avoid solidifying the agar solution when mixing) stirring well to evenly mix.
Decant into a form, and steam gently over a barely simmering pot for 20 minutes. A vigorous boil will lead to bubbles in the gel.
To achieve layers just steam a layer for ~3 minutes keeping everything to go later in the temp range of 40-60 degrees.

The design is based on the excellent Dactyl keyboard, generated with https://ryanis.cool/cosmos/ and it runs the excellent qmk firmware. It is handwired:
and I have also made a palm support using inkscape and openscad
All printed on a reprap prusa i3 derivative.
This helps me use my computer with less pain, so I want to call out all the wonderful projects and people who contribute to them which made it possible.
Total cost? $60 aud, amortised filament ~15 bucks worth maybe? and a lot of my time haha.

I find the average user less grating than the average world or ohshitit'sjustfash users. There's some fucking wankers but hey it's the internet.
Good to get perspectives critical of the imperial core and usually more insightful than the average conservative/lib take. Like I might think that glazing NK is hilarious, but it's not like you don't find hundreds of users glazing farcial "representative" democracies constantly which are only marginally further along in terms of real freedom to act in a way contrary to the nation state.
