@botvolution while undeniably also delicious, unsalted roasted cashews are like US$6.50/lb to unsalted roasted peanuts US$2.50/lb. I'll save the cashews for when I'm making something to be proud of!

A trick I picked up a few years back, when I was learning how to prepare pad thai:

Do you have a cheap asian-style noodle dish you are needing to fortify? Maybe it's instant noodles and you have no protein at all, even. Just shake in some unsalted peanuts! Lots of protein, extra texture, and it won't screw up the flavor profile of any sauces you're using.

@VirginiaHolloway @sky @johnlogic A fine is always an unjust punishment for any crime, on the basis of socioeconomics - because it means wealthy people can just pay their way out of trouble.

Passing a bus with the sign out should not incur a fine - but it should be grounds to automatically pull your license.

@vitor @thomasfuchs actually it's arguably worse in context! The Atlantic reporter is just upset the IDF won't let them tag along to watch the undenied child killings to judge if they were illegal or fine actually.

@thomasfuchs Maybe it's relative then. I was surprised to see listed working full Socket 7 systems, cases and all, around ~$150 - $200 shipped, and mainboards at ~$40, after a couple years ago seeing prices nearly double that.

Some Commodore and Atari stuff seems to be down right now too, but again that's relative - I have been seeing Amiga 500s in the mid $200s, when I'm used to seeing them in the upper $400s.

@thomasfuchs How vintage? I was thinking yesterday about downscaling and selling off some of my Socket 7 stuff, and was dismayed at how reasonable prices have become in the past few months, way down from what I saw a couple years ago.

@cferdinandi @tolmasky @thomasfuchs Segway the brand name is still around. Segway the company is dead and 'the Segway' as in the Segway PT is also extinct
