Oh, I should mention: I am currently a freelance Django developer, but I'm *very* interested in finding a few like-minded folks to build a development co-op.

Especially interested in building secure and/or federated versions of the items on this list: https://dymaxion.org/essays/pleasestop.html

i'm not going to quote it just to toot my own horn but String Bean was asking why he didn't have preschool today and we wound up having a very Woke Toddler moment lol

I wanted to stay up and see the eclipse but instead I passed out just past 10. Good thing, because the sprouts woke up at 6:15 and I can't run on 6 hours a night for very long anymore

For a vegan version, use coconut oil in the skillet, swap 1 cup cornmeal for flour, use almond milk for the liquid, and replace the egg with 2 "flax eggs" - this is the only version I've tried that wasn't overly crumbly but I want to step down the flour for more cornmeal in future attempts to get the flavor back. Would be nice to do less almond milk too, just to cut down the cost. Idk this version is a work in progress.

You can sub butter for the bacon grease, but saving bacon grease is a gift you give yourself. Can also use coconut oil (see vegan subs in next toot). You can swap up to half the cornmeal for flour, depending on texture preferences. Instead of yogurt you can use buttermilk, or regular milk that's gone a bit sour -- but be careful with that, use your judgment.

For #SunDIY I offer you the cornbread we make most often, adapted lightly from the Foxfire cookbook.

start the oven heating to 425. Put 1-2 tbsp of bacon grease in an iron skillet (ours is 10") and put it in the oven to warm up. Mix 2 cups cornmeal with a tsp each of salt and baking soda. Beat an egg, dump it in along with 2 cups of plain yogurt, mix it all up. Pull the skillet out and dump it in. Bake, about 20 minutes.

A storied and beloved food, a national treasure, known far and wide as "crunchy boi"

I was TODAY years old when I learned that croque monsieur is French for “mr. crunch”. Unbelievable. Legendary.

well those look like some fine birds, but are they EMP-resistant?
