  • Aren't IRAs a US tax account? Like the Canadian TFSA.

  • I didn't make any such claims. Though arguably what you consider junk food and what I consider junk food may be completely different. I have no interest in digging down into that.

    Yes, flour has some trace simple sugar in it. I only said I don't add sugar to mine. Yeast will happily break down starches into simple sugars, and the end result will have some sugar. The exact percentage will depend on fermentation time.

    The Irish case had bread reaching 10% by weight flour of sugar. They certainly added it.

  • Yeah. For wildcard DNS from letsencrypt, you can't do HTTP validation, only DNS, which involves creating a TXT record.

    Your DNS provider needs to run an ACME server, which runs an API that'll add the required TXT records on request.

    As I understand it.

  • I make 2 big bread loaves every week, and have literally never put sugar in it. Salt and flour, sourdough starter, water. That's it.

    The case they're specifically talking about is an instance in Ireland where Subway was sued about their bread containing enough sugar to be classified, under Irish law, as cake, not bread.

  • Not all dns providers support acme, I've discovered to my recent annoyance. The one I use at work, for instance.

  • EU considers tariffs on digital services Big Tech

    Jump

  • Yeah, we've got on-prem cloud hosting at a university, and moving away from VMware is an ongoing process. Still. Two, three years after the writing was on the wall. They'd rather pay the Danegeld.

  • Or they'll just pay the extra money and avoid all that.

  • Linux has some advantages in that a lot of the basic stuff, someone from 1985 would pick it up pretty fast, I think. Commandlines are very conservative. I have scripts I haven't changed in 15 years.

  • Trump allies press the White House to dial back Elon Musk's media interviews over his Social Security jabs

  • The math is pretty simple. We're travelling at 25km/sec around the sun. You have to get that to zero to hit the sun. Getting to Jupiter means getting up to like 37km/sec (made up number). Way easier.

    edit: I looked it up because it didn't feel right. Outer planets move SLOWER the farther out you go because gravity is weaker and they don't need as much angular momentum. So the math isn't quite as simple as that. :)

  • Steve Bannon admits Maga operatives ‘working’ on third term for Trump

    Jump

  • I think that's the rule Putin and Medvedev used. They alternated to get around the consecutive term rule.

  • Spider bro is my ally against the wool moths, at the moment. If I catch one I'm putting it in the closet.

    They earn their keep.

    We had aphids in the garden last year. Wolf spider moved in, big fat guy. Made short work of em. Wolf spider is welcome among my lettuce any day.

  • Gav. Cameo from Nukees. Dude ends up outnumbering quite a few species. As the author notes, you have to be dinka-cho careful with tokjith.

    Schlock Mercenary is pretty great, I reread it every few years.

    If you like military scifi it's worth a look.

  • Sure, if you a) keep mammals around and b) drink their milk. I'm not convinced domesticated animals have been a thing for all that long, evolutionarily. Long enough for some groups to have adapted, sure. We have adaptations for cooked food, too.
