    There’s been a push in higher education and professional markets for a STEAM education paradigm over STEM. Especially when you consider that there’s a ton of crossover between tradition STEM education and arts in modern day professionals (User Experience relies on all 5 domains for delivering truly great UX for example).



  • I grew up on the lower end of middle class. Govnment cheese grilled cheese sammies is definitely something I loved eating as a kid. This forced us to be industrious. My parents gardening, did their own DIY home improvements, woodworking, hunting, and more. They weren’t survivalists because of some doomsday shit, but lived this way because we couldn’t afford not to if we wanted to live in a house in a big city suburb in the late 80s & 90s. Over time, my mother took on work utilizing the skills she gained doing the stuff for ourselves and we slowly climbed out of the near poverty life and I was able to have nice things in my teens.

    I’m now doing well for myself, solidly middle class in this economy and region. But as things are shifting like crazy around us, I just decided to turn my yard into a garden so I can at least feed myself fresh food if shit becomes unavailable or unsafe to eat. If I have to start hunting again, I will.

    I’m not panicking, I’m just going to control what I can, and will do my best to have a good life, and will fight for everybody else to have a chance at a good life too.


  • Fun fact: Many cultural artificats do go on tour!

    For example I’ve seen both Pompeii & King Tutt exhibits in San Diego that have since rotated. I’ve also seen other traveling exhibits in several other major cities I’ve lived in that were far more than art.

    Many cities also have free admission days to museums for people that live nearby (depends on the institution but it could be for City/County/State).

    With this knowledge, you too, can now learn and explore societies that predate written word.

    Or create leaf mold (a pile of sticks and leaves) in targeted areas of your yard/property that are ideal for breeding fireflies and other desired native insects/spiders. Especially if you live in an HOA community that requires reqular raking and can hide the leaves under bushes/shrubs/trees/garden beds as mulch.

    Raking of leaves isn’t really the problem so much as is the complete removal of leaves from the property & neighborhood (which also removes the nutrients from the local top soil).

    If enough humidity over time gets in there, the salt can start caking and forming larger crystal clumps. However, the salt itself isn’t damaged by that process and will work fine if broken back up and used in the quality you need.

    A best by date here would be a notice from the manufacturer that the product should be shelf stable at least that long before “degrading”.

    WebP is an extended container around the RIFF file format, and contains the RIFF header info. So any container that is built off RIFF, or supports RIFF, can at least interpret the container data that is RIFF compatible and will lose anything that has been extended upon.


  • Depends on what you’re cooking.

    For example: I can throw together some pasta and have it be done in 20 minutes, 45 minutes, an hour, 2 hours, or 6 hours. All depending on the type of pasta I’m making, how many people I’m serving, and how complex I want to get and how many layered flavors I’m trying to build or if I want to make my own fresh noodles or use some dried noodles in the pantry.

    However, no matter the process I use, at the end I usually only have one pot, serving utensils, and dishes used for the meal. I clean while I cook very effectively, but there are times where timings of cooking techniques prevent that and I’ll have to do some quick cleanup before serving.

    I love tacos. I could eat tacos every day and never get tired of them. All varieties are good with me. Corn tortillas, flour tortillas, crispy fried tacos, taquito, even crunchy taco shells. There used to be a dive bar near where I lived in 2015 that would do $5 for 5 beef or bean crunchy tacos with cheese, lettuce, dice tom, and sour cream and I’d easily polish off 10-20 of those with a beer or two (I don’t live near there anymore and the bar closed down right before COVID due to the building be demo’d)

    My wife isn’t big on eating the same thing for more than 2 days in a row and I miss the days of eating tacos 4-5 times a week by choice.

    You’re not dead inside. You’re living a dream of mine right now.
