Different ants taste different!

I've had ants that taste like fizzy lime...

The bite actually doesn't kill you, it just shuts down your nervous system so you can't breath.

People if given cpr immediately (kind of need someone to know it's what bit you) till it wears off / get on a ventilator will live.

I remember reading about someone who survived. They got but, and a team started doing cpr. The only issue was his eyes were open the entire time on a hot sunny day. So he was blind after the damage the hot sun did.

Oh we did.

Regularly.

But as poor students, it was pick your battles. Her dick boyfriend used to drive them both home drunk as, then cook chicken nuggets at 3am setting off the smoke alarms on a Tuesday...

I lived with a flatmate that used to pull this sort of shit.

Typical process:

She would remove the frozen chicken from the fridge, put it on the outdoor table, then go to class. Would come home to a defrosted chicken, which she would take and chop in half on the kitchen floor. Then she would put one half back in the freezer, usually on top. Lovely going to get ice to find it's covered in frozen defrosted chicken blood. She would then use the other half to cook up a soup in our one big pot we had. This pot would live on the back corner of the stove for a week. Or two. Each day she would take a ladle full and warm it up to eat. The big pot wasn't kept warm or in the fridge.

I got to the point where as soon as we saw the mould growing out of the pot, we would biff the entire contents and water blast the pot outside. Much to her annoyance.

She would then just repeat again the next week.

Cooked my first ever brisket.

17 pounds / 8kg from Costco, trimmed somewhat. I had found a charcoal/truffle rub in NZ that I mixed with fresh ground salt n pepper, applied a day before.

Cooked with pecan smoking chunks, at a (dome temp) temp of 275F (135C) for the first 4 hours then 300F(150C) for another 3.5 hours in the foil boat. Fat side up, with a Kickstarter Meater in the top. Wrapped in wax paper, then towel tight into an Esky for 3.5 hours to rest.

Served perfectly rendered fatty strips in time to see the ABs keep the Eden park record alive vs the pumas.

Learning: Next time won't use the fancy rub. I definitely would just use salt n pepper next time.

I filled the basket with a decent amount of charcoal chunks. It barely used any of that on the cook and cool after, could probably cook two more briskets back to back with what's left.

Gloves to handle the meat is way easier than trying to move a hot 7kg blob of meat.

Anyone considering giving this a go: it was way easier than I thought it would be. But you need enough people to help eat it. We tried with 4 and barely made a dent.

Another excellent example of this working is Factorio.

The original game doesn't cost a fortune, it's made by a small extremely dedicated team. They polished it so hard the shine made everything else look like vanta black. Playing Factorio ruins other games because the depth and quality of everything else is so poor in comparison.

The game came out in like 2013 early access. Full release completed in 2020. A decade after initial launch, they are going to offer a DLC, that will cost money.

Absolutely happy to pay for a DLC for that perfection.

Sadly I am located in a country with a Murdoch hold on the F1 rights (Australia, and barely HD kayo), and because of this F1TV pro is not available here. We only get the option for live timing.

A few questions I thought some of the lemmy crew might know the answers to:

  • First, is this an Ok place to ask these questions on how to get access? Don't want to upset the mods etc. if this isn't, where might be a better place?
  • In the past I have seen mention of using a VPN to another location (India, turkey etc), and then using something like Google pay to subscribe for an entire year. This i believe also just worked when not on VPN after subscribing, which was appealing (as setting a VPN for the TV and mucking about at 1am is not). But I had also seen that F1TV cracked down on this also, so it may not work again.
  • Any other decent live stream options? I was an initial and long time user of "Hendo and his mates" "Race Tarting" crew which was amazing for the few years that worked.

Keen to hear what the community does or thoughts on what options are out there.

For bonus anger.

Amazon pays Toyota about $1 per vehicle that Alexa is installed on.

So you made Toyota an extra dollar for your pain.

I know someone who gave CPR on someone bitten by one of these.

They lived because of the CPR. They came out of hospital fine, except they were now blind because their eyes were open staring up at the hot summer Aussie sun for the entire time they were getting CPR etc.
