  • Originally, I was too poor to afford software. Then my CD/dvd books were stolen and I couldn’t afford to replace the media I’d been collecting my entire life. I bought an external drive, an s-video to RF modulator, a Bluetooth keyboard and connected my computer to channel 3.

    Eventually Pandora and Netflix were released and I stopped pirating. I spent most of a decade buying all of my media. Then I tried to buy a complete set of Good Eats and it wasn’t possible.

    There was literally no way to purchase every episode legally. So I took the $500 I was going to spend on that box set and put it towards an ebay’d server and some drives.

    By the time the streaming wars started to gain steam, I had everything automated, and was pushing 50TB of storage.







  • That’s what angers me about these articles. Millennials graduated high school to the Dot Com burst. We took out a bunch of student loans after not being able to find any work, graduated to the great recession. Spent a decade trying to pay down our student loans to 0 effect. Then got hit with the pandemic. We’ve given up on there being a future. Why the fuck should I put money in a 401k to prop up billionaires’ fortunes? My wages are never going to be enough to retire. I might as well have some fun now while my body isn’t completely broken.



  • There are a couple of things that make this easier :

    1. throw your trimmings from vegetables into freezer bags. Then freeze them until you have a day to make broth. Onion peels color broth, so don’t forget to save those.
    2. concentrate the broth. Once you have the flavor you like, strain out the chunks and put it back on a simmer until there’s 1/4 to 1/2 the volume.
    3. pour the concentrated broth into muffin tins and freeze. Pop them out and throw them in a freezer bag. You now have individually portioned condensed broth that you can throw in whatever you’re cooking.
