  • Da fuq? Ya, that’s a cartoon, not a picture.

    Here’s what they say about the actual pic.
    … supernova SN 2024ggi in the NGC 3621 galaxy. It was taken on 11 April 2024, just 26 hours after the initial detection of the supernova. … spectropolarimetry, provides crucial information about the shape of the explosion even though it appears as a single point as seen from Earth.

    And indeed. It’s a pic of a white dot.





  • This is outstanding advice, because most people don’t eat nearly enough fiber. Ya. Its poverty food. It’s also magic that will make your guts work correctly and possibly save your life.

    I boil up a batch of beans/rice/quinoa or some combination every week. I cook enough to be an ingredient or side for several meals. I don’t heavily flavor it, and cook to avoid much sauce, so its more flexible to use. There’s always a stock container of beans or rice in my fridge. It may take you a few batches to get good at cooking these things from scratch, but its pretty simple stuff.

    Ya folks. Wash your food.
    This most especially applies to brown and wild rice, which has natural arsenic. Rice may well be the primary or only source of arsenic in your life. Really, if you don’t already know, you should learn and stop eating arsenic.
    And quinoa. If you eat quinoa, you probly already know this. But quinoa has a chemical called saponin until its washed.
    But ANYTHING that comes from a factory and passed through innumerable hands, yes you should wash it before you eat it. Pesticides. Chemicals. Germs and dirt.

    Washing beans, rice, quinoa is pretty easy. Put it in a bowl with water. Stir it. Let it sit a bit.
    Stir it again, and pour the water off the top.
    (I use a strainer, but that is not necessary if you get good at this.)
    Do this seven times. If there was any clouding in the water, there won’t be by the seventh repeat.
    I usually let it go on about an hour or so, I’m also soaking the product while washing it.
