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

So the article only seems to raise these two cases, and it's not clear to me that either of these two people hurt any kids after appealing their check.

Is it just me or is this cooked? The right to appeal decisions seems fundamental to help reduce malfunctions or biases in a system. If the appeals process is too lax (doesn't seem like it?) then strength it sure but wtf is this move?

Fucking hell, 91 people in Australia deserve to be hung. Thieves on a monsterous scale.

Also lmao surgeons, always crying poor and saying they have no choice but to charge so much. Actually fuck yourself.

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.

Comrades, liberals, and the unaligned misers lend me your eyes.

Computer gaming is increasingly unaffordable, in Australia second hand previous gen GPUs are like a million billion dollars. Games increasingly look like dogshit due to stochastic rendering methods and reliance on advanced lighting methods that require rendering at high resolutions for good performance.

Games are also skyrocketing in price, along with dark patterns becoming ubiquitous. The age of making a good system for 1k aud once every 8 years or so is over. Consequently I am wondering about the economics of a seedbox + renting a high performance server and streaming video games to a cheap minipc that is connected to my TV.

Unfortunately in Australia compute is expensive as hell, and we are far away from places with cheap compute. To the point where light speed limitations means rtts of like 200-300 ms

I'm curious if anyone has experience in similar conditions, either combining a seedbox and high performance computer, or having both and spinning up the HPC when you want to waste some time.

How has it worked out? what genres work and what don't? has it been cost effective?

If this is stretching the limits of relating to piracy removal won't offend me. This seems the most relevant, but it is more into hardware and using pirated software (since shit is unaffordable) than piracy directly.

Hi all, I'm one of the mods that apparently caused lemmy.world to melt down for two weeks. It's a lovely sunny Sunday arvo, and I'd much rather go catch the last rays of sun in my garden than write about mod drama. Alas, I must have sinned in a past life.

Today the lemmy.world admins made a follow up post about the incident where the admin Rooki interfered with moderation of this community in a way which was determined to be against lemmy.world TOS and factually incorrect. Throughout this incident there has been no communication with me, nor to my knowledge any of of the other moderators of this community. Rooki quitely undid his actions and edited his post to admit fault however there was no public acknowledgement of this from him. In fact I wasn't even told I was reinstated as a mod which is quite funny.

The lemmy.world admins' response appears more focused on managing their own reputations and justifying similar actions in the future than providing a good environment for vegans, and other similarly maligned groups. Their statements about wanting to handle misinformation and overreach better in the future ring a bit hollow when they won't take actions to address the anti-vegan circlejerks under their update posts which abound with misinformation and disinformation.

The legalese written basically allows for the same thing to happen, and that if it does the admin decision is to stand while moderators have to quietly resolve the conflict at the admins' leisure. Presumably with a similarly weak public apology and barely visible record correction after the fact.

This community already has a fairly high moderation burden, with many users coming here in bad faith and getting outraged when they are told to take it elsewhere.

I have spoken with /u/neurospice@lemmy.dbzer0.com and /u/Beaver@lemmy.ca and we are of the opinion that given the lack of assurance that admins with an axe to grind wont interfere in the future this is no longer a space we are interested in moderating and can't in good faith recommend as a place to host a vegan community. Instead we would recommend that users come to !vegan@vegantheoryclub.org (note, not federated with .world, make a local account), additionally !vegan@lemmy.ml, !vegan@slrpnk.net, and !vegan@hexbear.net are well moderated and run.

Mods are just glorified internet janitors though, so if any current mods or users want to take over the responsibility of primary management from /u/neurospice@lemmy.dbzer0.com they are welcome to do so and should get in touch. Otherwise I think the consensus is to close this community for now.

Finally I'd just like to express gratitude for the great effort put in by the users here. In particular /u/Rose@lemmy.world you are a bloody champion for trying to get a better outcome here, we all appreciate it immensely.

Things I've learned since going vegan

• You can slice someone's throat and still love them.
• The word "need" can also mean "could easily live without but do kinda want".
• The word "humane" can mean literally anything you want it to.
• It's ok to call people out for harmful behaviour unless that behaviour involves bacon.
• Plants definitely feel pain and lawns scream when you mow them.
• Crop workers are exploited but slaughterhouse workers definitely aren't. No exploitation here, no sir.
• Meat is the only food that contains protein.
• "Found the vegan" is still funny and original the millionth time.
• Before humans came along, cows were just wandering around with massive udders praying for someone to invent industrialised agriculture.
• Steak is cheaper than beans, rice, pasta, and canned vegetables.
• While 99% of all meat comes from factory farms, no one eats that meat.
• Everyone only buys local, organic, humane, Dalai Lama approved meat.
• Everyone has an uncle who owns a farm straight out of a 1950's Americana magazine
• Everyone has a degree in nutrition and evolutionary biology.
• Everyone knows that one guy who went vegan and almost died.
• Everyone is free to talk about their identity, beliefs and interests without being shamed for them. Unless they're vegan. Vegans can fuck off.
