I was making potato and leek soup and the recipe asked for five potatoes cubed. Even for potato soup, 125 potatoes seems a little excessive.

5 potatoes cubed is still 5 potatoes because potatoes are root vegetables

I think part of it is that a large cohort on this website are underemployed and another large cohort are seeing substantial destabilization of their professions due to politics and/or technology, and so the site biases towards doom spirals somewhat

An American who has lived 35 years is very likely to have witnessed their material living standard improve considerably over the course of their life. Yes, there are problems - there are always problems. But what you hear is this all-consuming pessimism, how things are bad and always will be.

What’s remarkable about this to me is that humans have survived periods in which their societies faced the prospect of imminent annihilation, and even periods in which that sort of collapse actually occurred. But we’re living through a period in which most people’s living standards are rising!

Five years ago, when a Seattle burger chain raised employee wages & benefits the Reicht wing lost their minds, screaming the result would be $20 burgers & the company would end in bankruptcy. Today, the chain is even more popular than ever. Never let them try to tell you a living wage can’t work.

I think that is true, but I do not think it is necessarily an immutable law of the American Voter. It is a product of leadership and culture made up of individual decisions. It's a feedback loop, in part, of political leaders telling voters that it is right and good and just to be that way.

“Paris has embarked on a grand transformation, planting 155k trees, adding hundreds of kms of bike lanes, pedestrianising 300 school streets and banning cars from the banks of the Seine. Parking has been turned into green space…Fewer parents fear their child being run over when they walk to school.”

it's an uncurious proposition because the implication is that it is acceptable to have the ultra-rich in our society. the goal is not to tax billionaires into funded social programs, it's to not have billionaires anymore

Yes. Lots of people pretend or misunderstand, argue you can finance a social democracy just by taxing the rich. They are mistaken.

Where, eventually, it acknowledges taking the money from the rich is the point, because money is power and there is only so great a power differential we can tolerate and still constitute anything like a democracy, the piece says we should just jail the rich who misbehave.

I'm a huge @liberalcurrents.com fan, but not at all a fan of this piece by Cameron Cummins-Smith. For most of the piece it argues against strawmen, missing the point of wealth taxes — which is not, not at all, to "raise revenue". www.liberalcurrents.com/tax-the-weal...

Next to an *amazing* 1/50 scale cutaway of the SMS Viribus Unitis.
A frankly astonishing scale model of the Austro-Hungarian dreadnought Viribus Unitis. It's far too detailed to describe all of, but the two funnels centrally provide a focal point. They, like all the halved masts, are coloured red.

The Leon Gambetta had two things to blame for this predicament. The first of them was fannying about in the face of the enemy. Sailing about at 6 knots very much places you in the "target" subheading in the list of "things the submarine might like to investigate further".
Leon Gambetta in happier times, or at least in more buoyant ones. It's perhaps significant that in virtually every image of the ship only one set of boilers appears to be employed - perhaps a clue as to why it was ambling around at such a pedestrian pace.

That there is the French cruiser Leon Gambetta, and the more perceptive amongst you will notice that things are going swimmingly. Well, swimming, anyway.
A German illustration of the sinking vessel. How water is pouring over its upper decks whilst several metres above the level of the water - albeit only *briefly* above the water - is a mystery best left to whatever the artist was drinking.

Hungarian (I think) postcard of the sinking French Cruiser Leon Gambetta, which we're assured is the victim of a "megtorpedozot". It's certainly been dotted all right. Image via Cartorum.fr, which I highly recommend for all your dubious and saucy French postcards for the discerning gentleman (and no doubt some of the ladies)

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

I love when a recipe says “prep time: 10 minutes.” Ten minutes for WHO? A professional chef with eight hands? It takes me ten minutes to find the paprika. Then another five staring into the fridge hoping the ingredient I forgot to buy will spontaneously appear out of shame.
