I heard about this on the “If Books Could Kill” podcast. Pretty hilarious stuff.

Edit: Actually, I think it was Maintenance Phase. I listen to anything Michael Hobbes does.

🤷 No idea. Sounds like you should do a research piece about it!

Afaik, it’s traditional to Central American (and maybe South American?) cuisine, but I don’t know any science-y aspects to it’s use. You make salsas and guac directly in it, and I can say they do hit different, but I can’t say exactly why.

Interesting thanks for chiming in. I’ve only ever had a molcajete.

This is not the case for modern detergents, but is held over from when soaps were all made from lye. The polymerized layers of oil that you have will stay mostly in tact with some dish detergent and a light scrub sponge. After washing and drying mine off with a towel, I apply some oil and heat it on the stove for a few minutes to maintain the seasoning.

But absolutely mortar and pestle should never ever get soap, particularly something like a molcajete made from volcanic rock. I just wipe mine really thoroughly with a clean, damp cloth.

Even if I don’t learn anything new, it’s always good to refresh. It’s literally one hour out of my year, so not much of a sink.

In the US, I don’t think anyone reads their state driver manual. I read it every year because it’s the only thing I can be sure of that makes me better than 99% of everyone else.

RTFM, Mom!

How is /etc/fstab configured? Partitions should be assigned to mount points by UUID and not by their names (such as /dev/sda1). Names can easily change across boots.

Something to look into. Understand the frustrations here, but it looks like something that can be fixed if you are able to get to the machine and troubleshoot.

If this played out like a procedural crime drama, the DoJ would be interviewing everyone on these flight logs to figure out who is connected to crimes and how much everyone knew at the time. That will never happen, since all of these people have lawyers on retainer and won’t answer anything.

I mean, even if they are innocent and were totally unaware of any wrongdoing, they still wouldn’t willfully open themselves up to this questioning.

The official line is that they are victims who were trafficked.

Pam Bondi said back in February that they would release the list as soon as they had redactions for all of the victims.

Is it really? I’ve always understood the cult around it as a joke.

But seriously, RTFM.

Is ignoring robots.txt considered “honest”?

It’s the first thing I think of when I see that creepy shriveled windbag.

Package metadata isn’t stored in text files because there’s an amazing technology called the database.

All you have to do is learn how to use your package manager. Spend time reading the man pages and learn the options, and you can query everything you need.

Well, updating can cause problems whenever you do it.

Technically, you should check the news feed for breaking changes whenever you update your system. Usually, the worst that happens is pacman just barfs. Then you can figure out why and apply any fixes.

Upgrading an Arch install months or even years out of date is not that big of a deal. That’s one of the benefits of a rolling release platform.

Once after a move, an old desktop sat in a box for at least two years and I had it updated in a hour or so. Yes, you have to review the archlinux.org news feed for breaking changes, but if you follow any steps that pertain to your packages it’ll work fine.
