The terms "cage free" and "free range" are near meaningless on an industrial scale. The chickens are still packed in as tightly as regulations allow.

As for smaller producers, I don't know. It sounds like bird flu is about as contagious as is possible.

Any specific models you'd suggest?

How much are you storing on Backblaze? I love their Desktop Backup, and I've got about 20TB backed up with it. But I'm planning to add a significant amount of additional storage on a new machine and I worry that their unlimited plan may not actually be unlimited. I've heard good things about their B2 service but the cost would astronomical, way way out of my budget.

edit: Oh, apparently Backblaze Desktop doesn't support Linux. Well, I'm hosed. Got any suggestions for affordably backing up a significant amount of data on a Linux PC?

I can personally vouch, having seen this when private equity bought out the company I worked at and significantly cut everyone's wages while telling us we needed to massively increase productivity. Unchecked greed at its finest.

Wow. That's so cool. I wonder why these small impacts happened in a straignt line. Were there other notable impacts from this event that didn't line up? Hopefully we find out some day.

Totally not the same but it makes me think of how the Missoula floods carved the Columbia Gorge.

It just looks dirty like that.

Everyone trying to call bullshit, but my local discount market is selling eggs for $10.99 a dozen too. Not organic. Probably not even free range. Just the same cheap eggs as usual, but 3x the price.

The only better sauces at the major supermarkets near me cost 3x a jar of Classico.

The simplest sauce you can make is still damn good:

  • 1 can whole peeled tomatoes
  • 1/2 yellow onion (literally just cut in half, no slicing needed)
  • 1 stick salted butter

Cook slow and low, about 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally, until the onion has completely disintegrated.

It's not especially healthy but it's real tasty. Feel free to dress it up with some garlic, basil, meat, etc. in the last 15 minutes if you want.

Emotional rollercoaster.

I like you. Keep spreading the message.

More relevant than ever.

Unrelated, but just the other day I was thinking about an extremely offensive NIN t-shirt I had in the 90's. I wish I still had that shirt.
