The Roman Empire really lasted from 27BC to 1453, the west was a dump when it fell, almost all the ressources and money and population were in the east anyway.

Great. Only issue so far has been a specific VPN for work which does not have a Linux installer and no drag and drop replacement for Snagit. But that’s just work stuff, everything on the private side works flawlessly for me.

Sure, but you can see how they’re vaguely related, right?

I was laughing at all these weird dishes when it occurred to me that the fruit-based ones sound a lot like a dish here in Denmark with fresh fruit and ‘råcreme’ which is egg yolks and sugar whipped with vanilla, then gently mixed with whipped cream.

It’s delicious.

It makes little sense to think of language outside of communities, so if a speech community uses a word in a certain way then it’s correct in that context.

Of course, most states find it useful to establish an official variant. It is usually based on whatever the ruling class speaks, and is claimed to be ‘correct’, but there are no objective linguistic criteria which make it possible to say that Parisian French is more correct than e.g. Haitian French.

Right, thanks for clarifying 🙂 I agree, don’t use extra virgin for frying. Still, I don’t think it gives off bitter flavours whatever you do unless you treat it really bad.

In Denmark, we traditionally cook using butter, but I like to use whatever fits the dish I am doing.

If the whole Mediterranean region cooks with oil that way they’re not “off flavours”, are they? Then they’re just the flavours of the regional cuisine.

If you let olive oil get hot enough to hit the smoke point for a sofritto you’re doing it wrong…

As the admin, thanks for using it and spreading the word 🙂 if anyone feels like setting up a local instance let me know, I will point a subdomain (like aarhus.brugt-bazar.dk) your way and federate 😁

You can literally just upload a library of documents to github or another repo service like codeberg. That’s basically what a code project is, a bunch of files.
