Thanks for the tip on making this. We typically have almond milk in the fridge as it's easy to find, but it sure is not cheap. Maybe taking a stab at making oat milk to taste might be a fun experiment.

We don't really have any milk in our fridge except for the very rare recipe. Our house is vegetarian, nearly vegan. I don't really consume almond milk directly if you will - I drink my coffee black - I'll use it with the rare bowl of cereal I might have. Now I'm wondering how homemade oat milk might work out.

I've never been a big fan of milk anyway - and that extends to alternatives - and same with the rest of my family, so even something tasty is probably not going to get used up very quickly ( a half gallon of almond milk will often be in our fridge for 2 weeks or more ) - how long will this keep?

Covid did have the silver lining of really jump-starting science and medicine in this regard. I shudder to think how the viciously stupid and hateful donvict administration will handle something like bird flu, even with these great tools we now have.

There is not a chance of that happening.

People in America also thought that Covid was just something "over there" when it started in China, too. That's not how disease works.

Um, no thanks to that, thank you very much.

If you think something with a fatality rate of ~52% would be a good thing? Not sure what to do with that...and there is no fucking way something like that would stay within our borders in any case.

Remember all the dumbfucks and Russian mouthpieces talking about how donvict wants peace?

This guy is all-out nutcase, and completely in the tank for diaper donvict.

I fear people like Doctorow might be right about the notion of general computing for the masses being something that falls by the wayside...even if not 100%, and not done by force, enough to be the mainstream...it seems the norm is to use prefabbed "apps" on platforms that are basically welded shut (the old joke about welding shut a car hood comes to mind).

I am cheered to see younger people doing computer hobbyist things on various Youtube channels, so it's not like it's going to die out with Gen X or something...

There's nothing wrong with it!

Yes, please, for the love of gawd. And I'd like to see more Gen X and boomers doing it too. Used to be boomers had a keen eye for the corporate scams.

Well, thank goodness. I got very tired of noobs trying to tell people more experienced than them what's what when it comes to things like Google Docs, assuming the alternative is Microsoft Office.

Duh, both of those things are just two different corporate options, but they think they are some vanguard for a Glorious Future to choose something like Google over M$. What the fuck are we even talking about?

And this is just one example of so fucking many. I'd love to see a lot more cynicism from teens when it comes to the tech landscape that was GIVEN to them, instead of thinking they are the ones that invented it or something and imagining "the olds" just don't get it. That's a shell game done to so many generations, time after time...the boomers probably being the original poster boys, at least done at scale.

Oh, quote from the (first) letter:

Your biased blather is irrelevant and predictable; please stop.

The American people have voted and the results stand: President Donald Trump won by a lot. Your blather shows not only your prejudiced point of view but that you are out of touch with the majority of Americans. It’s no wonder your subscription rates continue to decline.

Donvict did not win "by a lot". And he is not supported by "the majority of Americans", either.

These poor snowflakes can never get over that donvict is not even half as popular as they imagine, and subscription rates to newspapers declining has little to do with opposition to donvict. If anything, it's because they've proven to be instruments of the corporatocracy.

The mental patient will just never get over having lost in 2020, and all because he couldn't grow the hell up and deal with the pandemic like a normal person would have.

And he'll kill more people than he did the first time (record-setting death - he killed more Americans than any other single cause in history) around if he has to.
