Peasley

Very sweet to remember her this way.

My cat is also named after a flower: Thistle. I hope i get to enjoy 15 years with her too.

I empathize with your sorrow, and i'm happy you got to spend the time with her that you did

Thanks! I dont know much about coffee and tea, perhaps they are purely beneficial. I figured they'd be a mixed bag so if you are being "optimal" you'd avoid them.

I appreciate the links and info

I think my knowledge of first aid and basic anatomy would be of some use in any pre-modern time period. I know enough to make a positive difference at least (wash that cut, dont drink water from downstream of your encampment, give the sick plenty of fluids, etc)

Beyond that, i'd be behind everyone else. I can fish, forage, garden, cook, start fires, and build shelter, but so could everyone for most of human history. I could probaby keep up with a hunter-gatherer society, but i'd be the least capable among them.

Optimal would be in-season local vegetables, in-season local fruit, and remaining calories from a variety of grains (and legumes) and occasional varied inexpensive meats.

You could make it cheaper with frozen vegetables, but you'd lose some nutrition (maybe, and taste if you did care), and by skipping fruit (losing some nutrition) and meat (again losing some nutrition)

Nutritionally, dried fruit is pretty ok if it's not sweetened. Canned fruit is pretty worthless, and juice is worthless.

Canned vegetables are fine if cheap, but lose some nutrition over fresh. Fermenting in-season vegetables can preserve most nutrition to tide you over for when nothing is affordable.

Most calories would be from grains and legumes: lentils, peas, rice (brown has more nutrition, white is usually cheaper), beans, corn, etc. Whole grain breads are nutritionally great if they aren't full of preservatives. If you dont have a local baker just skip bread altogether.

Avoid coffee (maybe), beer, wine (probably), cider, liquor, smoking, and drugs. Tea might be fine but it has no nutrition so it might also be avoided. (or not, see comment below)

If you can afford it (and enjoy it), meat is very nutritious and calorie-dense in moderation, so a small reduction in starch for a proportionally small increase in meat can be beneficial for some lifestyles. Obviously you dont want to reduce fruit or vegetables since they have the most nutrition per calorie in general, but a diet exclusively of fruit and vegetables is expensive and unreliable (and possibly not nutritionally optimal). The type of meat depends on where you live: shrimp, anchovies, chicken, goat, beef, whatever is cheap and available.

Some spices, oil, and salt would make it all a lot better tasting, and wouldn't add much to the cost. This is pretty much the diet of working people all over the world, just with different specifics.

Fair, but cartridges cost real money to produce. Disks cost pennies. Publishers used to do much cheaper "collection edition" when a popular game was reprinted after the initial run, but that doesn't seem to be a thing anymore.

Digital distribution is free, but there are frequent sales at least (except Nintendo)

I had some friends that used to hit the albuterol after the bowl.

I do not think it had any effect on coughing during the session. Perhaps coughing afterward was reduced, but not noticeably.

The modern concept of race was invented in 1684 by this guy:

It's been utter bullshit from the start

I really liked when they were "Washington Football Team" for a season. Now that's a name i can root for

It's good he got to be with you at the end. Sorry for your loss. You will miss him for a long time and that's ok

The difference in visual air quality on the mornings of July 3 and July 5 tend to be pretty stark in the Bay Area. I'm not surprised to learn LA is the same.

Fireworks are illegal in most cities but that hardly stops anyone

Hopefully bcachefs finds a way to get along with the rest of the kernel.

Seems like these bug fixes being put off along with the feature updates until 6.17 is going to be the compromise for now.
