@trinsec i'm not sure if dried and fried still helps, but they indeed taste good ;) i also use plenty of hot sauce when having a cold, it seems to help with it somehow :)

there are a number of quite reputable scientists (of various disciplines though) which are sceptic about the pandemic & covid vaccines. they aren't right by default just because they have a nobel prize, _but_ they aren't some randos talking weird shit either. it kind of substantiates the feeling that _something_ is off about the whole covid-thing that all of them are ridiculed in the media. together with the electronic-vaccine-passport plans it feels kind of dystopian.

@bonifartius it's not even completely old wives tale: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/337227031_Efficacy_of_Garlic_and_Onion_against_virus :)

@trinsec i swear on onion with sugar: dice an onion, place it into an airtight container and put 1-2 spoons sugar on it. close and let rest for the night. next day you take the onion-extract sirup which formed. sounds unpleasant but is tastes not bad if you like onions :)

@arh@toots.alirezahayati.com maybe qoto.org? https://qoto.org/about/more

@freemo buying into with euros

@freemo soo.. any pointers to good exchanges in the EU for crypto? Preferably without a absurd verification process..

@thor yip! 😁

@thor

nur = only
dein geld = your money

@thor it's the classic german "sie wollen nur dein bestes, dein geld" - "they only want the best (of/for) you, your money" (i bet one can translate that better to norse than to english :P)

@thor well, the guardian isn't interested in _your_ wellbeing. i bet he's interested in

a) that the state doesn't have to pay
b) that his client doesn't have to pay
c) pRocEdUrEs

he wants to get you with legalese, no other way to deal with it than legalese ;)

@thor well, if he hires people for the moving that's his problem, not yours.

either he has a guardian and can't make contracts, then it's the problem of the people he hired to get their money. or he can make contracts, then it is his problem to pay his dues.

don't let the fuckers get to you.

and food, especially the mashup of different cuisines of different cultures. look at the anthony bourdain episodes in the us for example. really interesting stuff.

then, i'm kind of fascinated with food and how people everywhere tried to "optimize" taste with what they've got.

it's a contribution to the world, it's just not as popular as other things :)
