Just listened to that one. Also great.

If anyone is a punk rock fan, Dropkick Murphys put out an album based on unused Woody Guthrie lyrics.

It’s called This Machine Still Kills Fascists.

There’s also natron and potash which have been known since antiquity, but I can’t find any reference to them being used as leavening agents before the early Industrial era.

Sodium carbonate (washing soda) is used in baking to encourage browning, but it doesn’t produce carbon dioxide when heated.

You need sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) which is only a small constituent in trona, and without knowing how to concentrate it, or that you can, it’s unlikely it would have been used as a leavening agent before the advent of modern chemistry. You’d have to add so much that it would ruin the batter or just turn it bitter.

Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) turns into sodium carbonate when heated in an oven, which is used by amateur chemists sometimes to make the carbonate if they don’t have it on hand.

Baking powder is a combination of baking soda and a food-safe dry acid, which react when water is added. This wouldn’t have been invented before the chemistry of acids and bases was discovered.

This got me for a second until I looked up the actual object.

It’s made from sandstone, not oatmeal.

Baking powder wasn’t invented until the 1800s.

That’s where Buddhists who die with bad karma get reincarnated.

If you’ve never had the Indian soda Thums Up, it’s remotely like this. It tastes like Coke spiced with ginger and similar spices. It’s actually pretty good.

Hell yeah brother that’s where all the cool people are going

Pfft, you think you’re going to heaven.

The review I linked quotes 5-8W under load so I’d expect it to be about 10 hours on the Framework 13’s 55Wh battery and about ~15h on the Framework 16’s 85Wh battery.

But it also can’t play a 1080p YouTube video worth a damn so it’s hard to imagine what you’d actually wanna use it that long for.

It is absolutely more of a development board than one meant even for early-bird adopters. The processing power is more on-par with a Raspberry Pi. Here’s a review of another development board using the same processor: https://bret.dk/risc-v-starfive-visionfive-2-review-jh7110/#Geekbench-6

Compare the Geekbench 6 scores to the Ryzen 7040HS in the Framework 16: https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/4260192

As the review author explains, Geekbench 6 is a bit unfair to the JH7110 since it’s missing some processor extensions, but even if we pretended it had a similar lead over the Pi 4 as it does on the Unixbench suite, it’d still be an order of magnitude behind the AMD processor.

You’re not really gonna be gaming on this thing, and you might not have a great experience even with normal desktop productivity software. These boards are likely gonna be relegated mostly to compiling code and running tests.

If a future revision is a little more powerful though, it could maybe make for a decent netbook. At just $200 it could also be a pretty good value for the education sector, maybe as a dev board for systems programming courses.

Fish is a great shell, but whenever I SSH into another machine I end up having to do everything in Bash anyway. So the fact that Fish is so different often ends up being a detriment, because it means I have to remember how to do things in two different shells. It was easier to just standardize on Bash.

I might try daily driving it again when this release hits the stable repos, I dunno.

A Linux distro with a great OOTB experience for gamers would go a long way.

• Steam pre-installed
• trustworthy Flatpak packages for popular gamer apps like Discord (not uploaded by some nameless rando)
  • TeamSpeak for curmudgeons like me and my friends
• desktop environment tailored to Windows users
• auto-install and configure graphics drivers for AMD and Nvidia
• configurable automatic updates and system backup
• choice between Chromium, Firefox, etc. for default browser during setup
• included in Steam Deck compatibility testing

I never even heard about my high school’s 10th reunion.

Then again, it would have been around the height of the pandemic so maybe it’s for the best that it didn’t happen.

Help make their models just a little bit shittier by upvoting these responses.

You’re arguing with a stranger in the comments under a six month old post with zero score. You’re here because you went looking to pick a fight. You’re either a troll or just a sanctimonious asshole. Good luck winning anyone over with that approach.

LMFAO are you going through posts mentioning vegans looking for people to argue with? Whoosh.

Seems Overstreet is just pissy that he can’t talk to people on the kernel mailing list like it’s 2005 anymore. “Get the fuck out of here with this shit,” indeed.

it’s just a jerk-thing.

That’s not very skibidi of you to say.

I’m a Millennial and I’m happy to report I’ve appropriated “skibidi”. I really, really enjoy watching younger people die a little inside every time I use it.

Does that make me a dad even if I don’t have any kids?

It takes a real class-act to happily play a parody of himself.

He was a true American treasure.
