A vegan senior citizen friend ended up with a bunch of free turkeys one holiday. He handed them off to me. I turned three of them into canned turkey meat and bone stock. I gave one away. If you think canned chicken is bad then just imagine how dry canned turkey is. It always needs to be paired with something moist like refried beans or Shakshuka to make it edible. But free protein is free protein.

Most of the cost here was the cheese and chips.

I was a WebOS user. It was hard moving to Android after it died because it was so far behind WebOS in UX/UI. Each time Android would catch up with a feature I’d do a little dance of joy.

I want to offer a long history of how everyone saw this coming but I think “LOL” is the best response

Normally I melt the cheese directly on the chips. I only did a small amount of that here. I typically don’t go with cheese sauce but because I was doing a meat and beans topping instead of straight meat. Beans always make things soggy.

I always heat them up in the oven on a baking sheet.

I’m only going to focus on one part because it shows the disconnect between you and I.

If you have a working printer, toner, paper…

Who said anything about a printer? I said hard copy. Not printout. Write it down. Carve it into rock or shape it in clay. 3000 cycles and you keep limiting yourself. That 200 pounds of copper wire could be pounded flat and marked with a sharp tool to create a long lasting hard copy. So many options for a hard copy and you defaulted to the one option we can’t even get to work when everything is working.

His contributions are immeasurable and worthy of legend. He is also a very strange bird and that can’t be swept aside.

I had no idea RMS was on Lemmy. Borrow any good Internet connections lately?

90% of people would die within the first three months because they don’t know how to cook and we have a three day supply rule in stores relying on just-in-time delivery.

If you make it past the first 90 you probably have seeds in the ground to get you to the next 90. We don’t just inherit the environment, we shape it. We can start growing our own food within weeks, not reliant on ancestors

But let’s get back to the topic. 3000 charge cycles, your number, is a lot. All that time can be used to make hard copies of essential information. You can learn how to salvage wire and build new energy sources. An average 2100²ft empty house has almost 200 pounds of copper wire in the walls. 3000 cycles to learn.

But thanks for telling me who I am and what skills I already have.

I’m not saying I don’t believe you but you didn’t tell us which Linux.

Such a classic.

Tells us we need the skill. Doesn’t teach us anything to gain the skill.

Weird place to reference Magnitude from Community but okay.

Can’t wait to hear people like Alex Jones defend this. Can’t wait for every sovcit to defend this. Can’t wait for every Gadsden flag flag and bumper sticker to defend this.

The average hunter gatherer only worked for about 3-6 hours a day. They had more free time than we do.

That broth is why it costs sooo much. I’ve made it from scratch. But it’s not as good. Probably because I never add enough salt.

Point is that 3000 cycles is more than enough time to find or make a replacement even if society doesn’t rebuild.

That’s… a lot of cycles. That’s almost a decade. Plenty of time to build an electric generator from scratch by traveling on foot to a copper mine and smelting the wire yourself. Unless you manage to pull an alternator from a car that can’t find gasoline and save yourself the trip. From that you could make a gravity battery or any number of other options.

The halo is more extended that astronomers originally thought,

Article needs an editor.

The average laptop is 65W. So the 40 amp solar battery station I built with a 100w panel could run a laptop 7 hours a day without any issues at all. Plenty of time to get actionable information out of it.
