Ooh, you know what's great with that? Homebrew salsa.

Just throw a jalapeno pepper, two small tomatoes, and a small onion into a food processor. Then, put in salt, pepper and garlic powder, and you have salsa that is better than the $5 garbage in the jar. And a lot of it.

But yes. Picking any one benchmark for inflation is stupid. You might as well pick oil or lumber.

Ehh, debatable. Food is arguably the most important commodity, so its prices alone are a good indicator of where we are as a people.

How in the actual fuck are you all surviving down there? Are you like hunting down the kangaroos for sustenance?

How come? Haven't you ever cooked on your own before?

Yeah, that was one of their more boneheaded moves. ๐Ÿคฆ

It's your proposed solution that's the problem. The answer isn't to make Discord public, it's to convince people to move off of it, and quite honestly, if you want people to leave Discord so badly, you'd be better off setting up separate public forums for the open source projects you are interested in on your own and convincing/bribing respected members of the Discord to post there, or copy/paste technical info there.

I feel the same way about Lemmy so I sympathize with you, honestly.

It's purposeful. The system is collapsing and the only option they have is to lie to people to convince them to continue participating.

A thing I have thought of trying is to take a bean and rice mixture and make stuffed peppers with it. I am certain it will be delicious. Certainly better than a ShitChicken.

The only way to get decent prices is through the app, and even then, it's really hit or miss.

Lubbock County, Texas, joins a group of other rural Texas counties that have voted to ban women from using their roads to seek abortions.

This comes after six cities and counties in Texas have passed abortion-related bans, out of nine that have considered them. However, this ordinance makes Lubbock the biggest jurisdiction yet to pass restrictions on abortion-related transportation.

During Monday's meeting, the Lubbock County Commissioners Court passed an ordinance banning abortion, abortion-inducing drugs and travel for abortion in the unincorporated areas of Lubbock County, declaring Lubbock County a "Sanctuary County for the Unborn."

The ordinance is part of a continued strategy by conservative activists to further restrict abortion since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade as the ordinances are meant to bolster Texas' existing abortion ban, which allows private citizens to sue anyone who provides or "aids or abets" an abortion after six weeks of pregnancy.

The ordinance, which was introduced to the court last Wednesday, was passed by a vote of 3-0 with commissioners Terence Kovar, Jason Corley and Jordan Rackler, all Republicans, voting to pass the legislation while County Judge Curtis Parrish, Republican, and Commissioner Gilbert Flores, Democrat, abstained from the vote.
