@LessPop_MoreFizz keep in mind that the DMCA isn't technically a law on its own; it's part of the CFAA, which maintains overriding legislative power.

and, as part of the CFAA, reverse engineering and circumvention of security protection mechanism are blanket legal for interoperability purposes, explicitly includng the exchange of media produced solely by the user.

@OrigamiRobot The trick is to repeat this process until you reach your maximum operating length and shut down.

@fbueckert But the fridge is no use as I can just cook whatever I buy when I buy it.

fbueckert

Preferably with an interdimensional portal inside the fridge so that you can stuff more food into it than it can physically hold.

@fbueckert If I buy food I don't want, it will just stay in the fridge until I throw it away.

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot That's...an interesting viewpoint. It's like buying just enough gas to get to the gas station. Every day.

fbueckert

Mostly all I get from @Origami is, "Fridge? What fridge? I don't got no stinking fridge."

skovacs1

If you buy stuff that is versatile in large quantities, then you are more likely to want it later. Onions, green peppers, cheese and eggs are very versatile for example. Stir fries, omelettes, sauces, pizza (and pizza-like dishes) are some simple and quick examples of what you can do with them. They keep a reasonable amount of time and are nice to have handy when you don't have the time to hit the store. Also, healthy fresh foods and costs less money than eating out.

OrigamiRobot

22:44

@fbueckert It keeps my drinks cold and sometimes I buy frozen pizzas.

@skovacs1 But then it is more likely to expire.

FAE

@skovacs1 Yeah, I needed like 2 green onions for a particular dish I made this week but they only sell them in things of like, 8, so I need to use them up now.

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot If you were to buy enough to, say, last you a couple days, it wouldn't go bad.

It just means your options for a couple days dwindle until you run out of food.

And then you go buy more.

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert That's what I need to do, go buy bread.

skovacs1

@FAE I didn't say "green onions" - those don't keep very long. I was referring to yellow or red onions as refrigerated they can last several weeks.

OrigamiRobot

But I don't want a sandwich.

FAE

22:45

@skovacs1 I mean the same kind of idea though.

Having stuff will make you want to use it.

OrigamiRobot

So I might as well wait to buy bread until I so want to use it.

@FAE I am the opposite.

FEichinger

@skovacs1 I've never needed to refrigerate onions ...

OrigamiRobot

@FAE I can't even do that because the milk will go bad before I use it.

fbueckert

FEichinger

@FAE Buy smaller ones. Leaving half an onion is a terrible idea in general.

skovacs1

@FEichinger You don't need to, but by refrigerating them, when cut, they won't make you tear up as much,

skovacs1

@OrigamiRobot The problem is that you are probably defrosting the bread wrong. Also, having copious amounts of frozen bread crumbs and cubes makes preparing large holiday dinners simple, and they can be used in breading as well as hamburgers and meatballs.

@fbueckert I'm not sure. It's translated as "half full milk" from Dutch to English but I'm not sure what its North American equivalency would be.

22:51

@skovacs1 You think I prepare holiday dinners?

fbueckert

FAE

@fbueckert I haven't had that in a long time. One of my mom's friends used to work at a milk farm when I was younger.

fbueckert

@FAE I grew up on the stuff. It tastes SO good.

Arperum

FAE

@skovacs1 I don't know how to cook that many things!

fbueckert

22:53

@Arperum I am telling you I grew up on milk that came straight from the cow. No treatment, no pasteurization, nada.

Arperum

I used to drink 2-4 liters of goat milk daily when i was a kid.

skovacs1

@OrigamiRobot Maybe not yet, but some day, you might. I'm just describing legitimate freezing of bread so that your hatred of everyone who does it might be tempered or even quelled.

FEichinger

@FAE Okay, that is part of the problem. A) Recipes that don't call for a whole onion either mean your onions are too large or the recipe is dumb. B) Variation is key. Don't stick too closely to a recipe, as long as it doesn't end up tasting bad - more onion usually doesn't result in that.

Arperum

Straight from goats in my case :)

OrigamiRobot

@skovacs1 I will not. I will never host a holiday dinner.

FAE

22:54

@FEichinger I halved the recipe for something in this case because the serving size was like, 8, and that's waaay too much for two of us.

Arperum

@fbueckert Very few who did that.

OrigamiRobot

My hatred of bread freezers stands.

fbueckert

@Arperum We knew a farmer who sold their milk.

@FAE It's caled a cook book. I like the Betty Crocker as a starter - it has a large variety of recipes with a broad scope plus lots of supplementary information on food and food preparation. For specialized cooking, I'm a fan of the Company's Coming cook books, but I'm not sure if they are available where you are.

Or a table.

On the plus side, that particular recipe has come out rather well so far the last couple times I've tried it.

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot Well, you're hosting, so you better figure that out.

SO everyone is sitting and eating on the floor.

@FAE What you literally halve are the core ingredients. The rest depends on the taste you're aiming for. I usually end up with ~2/3.

@OrigamiRobot What a terrible host.

Maybe we should all pitch in some money to buy @OrigamiRobot a table and chairs.

@Wipqozn Be sure to share with Carter!

@Wipqozn I don't want them.

fbueckert

@Wipqozn For true bachelor hosting, they have to be mismatched.

Wipqozn

@fbueckert Good point.

@OrigamiRobot Do you have a picture of your cat?

fbueckert

@Wipqozn So everybody donate a chair or something.

I eat at my desk. I don't need a table.

fbueckert

Maybe pitch in for a garage sale table.

FAE

I miss the fresh fruit/veggies where I grew up. There were a lot of Amish and Mennonite farmers who had fruit/veggie stands and they'd sell fresh ears of corn, tomatoes, zucchini, etc.

@Wipqozn What he really needs is silverware.

@OrigamiRobot He looks so chill.

What a cool cat.

FAE

It was all honor system too, you just took however much product you wanted and left your money in the jar.

@OrigamiRobot Actually, in my current place, I do this too. I also live in my office so I never really stop working. I think it might be the death of me before too long.

fbueckert

@FAE Yeah, I've always found that incredibly amazing.

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot your kitty cat is so adorable.

Today's society doesn't engender blind trust like that very easily.
