• 2 egg yolks (room temperature)

• 1 cup liquid (not hot!) bacon fat/grease

• 2 tsp vinegar OR lemon juice. All that is required is acid. Technically acetic acid exists in the human body naturally, could also technically be extracted from insect sources. YMMV, but it opens up a lot of options.  

• 1 tsp Dijon mustard, totally optional.

• Pinch of salt

1. Slightly warm the bacon grease in a saucepan and melt over low heat. Do not let it get too hot! It needs to be relatively room temperature!

2. While the fat is warming, separate your egg yolks from the whites placing the yolks in the bottom of the wide mouth jar. (Save the egg whites for adding back to the mayo to make it softer and easier to spread once refrigerated.)

3. Add your apple cider vinegar, salt and mustard (if using) to the egg yolks.

4. Blitz the yolk mixture with the immersion blender until combined.

5. Once the grease is melted and cooled, slowly pour a small amount of butter into the yolk mixture while blitzing with the immersion blender (about 30 seconds) moving the stick blender up and down and around to ensure ingredients are well combined. You will notice that it immediately begins to emulsify. This is what you want!

6. Continue to run your immersion blender while slowly slowly adding the cooled, melted bacon grease until completely combined. EXPERT TIP: Work your stick blender up and down to incorporate the melted butter and to ensure proper emulsifying.

7. Once all the bacon grease is added, you can choose to add the egg whites (this results in a softer, spreadable mayo when it is refrigerated) continue to blend for another 45-60 seconds moving the stick blender around to insure all ingredients are incorporated.

8. Use warm or seal with the lid and store in the fridge for 3-4 weeks (if it lasts that long!)

What's that principle where you don't know you're asking the wrong question because you've got this idea in your head on how to do something, so you search frustratingly. If you could step up a level and find the right question, you'd find a well established, efficient solution.

Related to unknown unknowns I guess, but I came across a phrase or word encapsulating it, and now I can't remember or (ironically) find it.

ETA: It's the XY Problem, thanks [email protected].

Seems very interesting, pr burble aside. Wonder how close this is to a micro-sonogram if generalised ? Star Trek medical tricorder component material by my reckoning.

Wanting to torrent in a country other than my own, I've been exiting via Singapore as it has the most direct path I believe. Any reason not to ? Any superior choices for whatever reason ? Couldn't find this discussed anywhere. TIA.

I'm one of those oddballs who's never joined, but I'm in the market for a new to me bike, and it seems like all the action is on marketplace. Am I screwed, or is there an effective workaround ?

Edit: Not US. There are local alternatives that I know about, but they are worse, please answer question as asked ! Basically I'm thinking of alternative software ala FreeTube, or a way of spoofing facebook to make a dummy account only to be used for this and if so what precautions to take...

Something I find fascinating is that being consistent (and trustworthy) is less effective than being 80/20% consistent (classical vs operant conditioning) at training dogs where there are contextual/environmental cues at play. It's personally counter-intuitive, but I've seen it work and am convinced (I attribute it to evolutionary mechanisms, my goto in biology).

I'm wondering what other psychology as a science results have solid statistics behind them that I'm unaware of (I'm compsci with a physics/maths background, so it's probably most), and are interesting...

Here we are with a community celebrating art, some of us might like to archive it. But no, inevitably it's google 'owned' transcoded, WebP. I have an extension to re-encode back to an old format, but that's lossy-lossy transcoding, not good. I suspect it's a Lemmy thing, but what would it take to get non-lossy here?

How does this play for you ? I identify as spectrum, what used to be Asperger's, and have to work really hard to get to visual phantasia, but I can. Also worked hard to remove aural phantasia? via meditation because of negative self talk. Do you see 'aphant' as a useful designation? Thoughts, Ideas?

A report critical of Australian generals’ leadership in Afghanistan was given to the Defence Minister Richard Marles in November 2023, but was not published until after the McBride sentencing. Stuart McCarthy on a travesty of justice.

This needs (IMO) more attention, seems to fit here...
