my sister hath sent me. Canned Cheese.

this is hands down the finest cheese i have ever consumed. it is so well aged that it is GRITTY with protein crystals. it is a cheddar but it is actually harder and flakier than a parmesan. it makes old shark look like fresh mozzarella. i could cry.

end notes: i ate approximately an 8th of the whole wheel and stopped when my wife reminded me gout is a thing. if i was a dragon id build my horde entirely out of this. i had my last piece ten minutes ago and im super thirsty but im avoiding drinking or swallowing because i want my mouth to keep tasting like this as long as possible. if I watched someone put poison in this i would probably just try to eat around it. if i was the president i would build a pyramid for every person involved in this cheese’s creation. my wife says my pupils are the size of theoretical particles rn and if anything shes understating it.

I need everyone to know this.

You can order cheese, straight from the University of Wisconsin, online.

Sorry, i don’t normally post much america stuff, but

Why are universities selling cheese? And the Good Shit, too?

Are the university students making the cheese? Is there a cheese course there? Is this exclusive to wisconsin university or do other universities do that too?

Look, I get myself one of these every year around Christmas. You don’t understand how delicious this cheese is. Love yourself. Get the Cougar Gold cheese.

My dad sends all of our relatives this cheese for Christmas. He isn’t from Washington and did not attend this school. Nobody in our family attended this school. We are all just big cheese fans.

I do think it’s funny that American retailers are caught between a rock and a hard place: swallow the cost of tariffs themselves, which may mean selling some items at a loss (???) or raise prices to cover the tariffs, and face the wrath of the man who levied them.

I mean realistically they will probably dig around for other plausibly deniable justifications to raise prices or juggle product categories to hide the change, but it’s still funny what he’s doing to them.

Or possibly a secret third thing where the retailer (Costco, Winco) doesn’t raise prices but posts what the prices WOULD be if they passed the tariffs onto the consumer. It’d be a double fuck-you to Trump, which would be in character for those specific retailers.

Btw, it’s pretty funny watching the president yell at companies. Like, doesn’t Jeff Bezos realize what a power move it’d be to tell Trump to fuck off into the sun? I hate Amazon but I hate Trump more, so it’d be an instant way to rehabilitate his image for 200+ million americans.

What a colossal idiot.

yeah although as we see with Harvard, the president has levers and he’s not afraid to pull them to fuck with people he doesn’t like 😬

man I wish it was possible to get enough major businesses to coordinate to simply refuse to pay the tariff that enforcing the punishment would cause more problems than not getting the tariff money. I just wanna see what would happen. What is the punishment anyways? a fine?

I also wonder if that level of coordination would trigger anti-trust action, like would that get shot down as a cartel even before they had a chance to make an agreement or take action? (of course I recognize that there are more fundamental logistical issues that would likely prevent them from even getting to that point, though)

trouble is I don’t think you can get your goods out of the port, right?

As a longtime Lilo and Stitch fan, I’m disappointed by the live action remake. They could’ve found a way to improve upon the original, to add even more meaning and heart to it, and to utilize the different format to give the story a sense of realism. But they didn’t. They changed the message of the story, and now the only thing is has to offer is like. CGI Stitch. Which is cute I guess, but I just can’t like an adaptation that reads like a bad fanfic.
Somehow, all the spin-offs still had more heart and consistency than this new film— and I’m including the multiple seasons of TV show and all the sequels there.

And before anyone gets worried— I suspected this was going to happen, so I haven’t given Disney a cent for this film. Honestly, I don’t think they deserve it, I’m that disappointed. Maybe I’ll actually pay for their movies once their movies are good again, but that’s a big if, since they haven’t made anything I liked in years.

After speaking to like. Nutritionists. I’m starting to think that most of the things people “know” about health are just cultural vibes

“Saturated fats give you heart problems” is actually like. Just folk wisdom. Comes from the same place that tells you that being cold causes disease.

Most of the advice I actually get from my nutritionist as a type 2 diabetic person who actually needs to lose some weight for my health is to just remember to take my meds, eat less simple carbs, eat fruits or vegetables, don’t overload on the salt, and drink a lot of water. Probably exercise too.

Of course your individual needs may vary but it’s really that simple in a lot of cases.

Exercise and vegetable eating also aren’t required to be chores. The idea that you need to suffer in order to eat better is just something we made up. Like put butter on your vegetables. Who cares. Butter is good.

Also açaí berries and kale are tasty and all but they ain’t special. “Superfoods” are also a cultural invention. Just eat a variety of things that you like. I unironically enjoy kale chips but they’re not inherently better for me than like. Cabbage.

Good thoughts, @iwrotesomeofitdown. At least half the vegetables in the grocery supply chain are either cabbage or nightshade, but some of them have more nutritionally useful compounds than others. Think of it like you’re trying to balance your humors. Do you need more green element? Then maybe get the kale/collards.

Also, isn’t most of the nasal immune system deeper in the warm parts of the head specifically because of this problem? I would also imagine that cold air being dry is also rough on the ol’ factories.

My new mutual @pacoyo5 pointed out that the link between saturated fats and cardiovascular health is known, so I did some quick digging. I’ve heard that the health panic over animal fats came from a place that was much more like folk wisdom than Randomized Controlled Trials, but that was the extent to my knowledge.

So I did what I always do when I need to know more about an academic subject and Wikipedia won’t suffice. I asked Perplexity, then checked the sources for greater context. And yeah, it does appear that there is a strong link between saturated fats and cardiovascular disease. The American Heart Association found that reducing saturated fats for polyunsaturated fats (like vegetable oil) is about as effective at protecting your heart as taking statins. A recent meta-analysis had more moderate conclusions, but even they agreed that saturated fats give you heart problems, at least some of the time.

Research is good, learning is good, unlearning is good, and when you make unqualified claims on the Internet, it’s usually seen as an open invitation to correct misunderstandings, which is also good.

A short history of saturated fat: the making and unmaking of a scientific consensus - PMC

Summary

“The idea that saturated fats cause heart disease, called the diet-heart hypothesis, was introduced in the 1950s, based on weak, associational evidence. Subsequent clinical trials attempting to substantiate this hypothesis could never establish a causal link. However, these clinical-trial data were largely ignored for decades, until journalists brought them to light about a decade ago. Subsequent reexaminations of this evidence by nutrition experts have now been published in >20 review papers, which have largely concluded that saturated fats have no effect on cardiovascular disease, cardiovascular mortality or total mortality. The current challenge is for this new consensus on saturated fats to be recognized by policy makers, who, in the United States, have shown marked resistance to the introduction of the new evidence. In the case of the 2020 Dietary Guidelines, experts have been found even to deny their own evidence. The global re-evaluation of saturated fats that has occurred over the past decade implies that caps on these fats are not warranted and should no longer be part of national dietary guidelines. Conflicts of interest and longstanding biases stand in the way of updating dietary policy to reflect the current evidence.”

weary: tired, worn-out, beaten down, exhausted, in need of rest. they were weary after their long journey. wearily, she sat down on the couch and kicked off her shoes. he had grown weary of this conversation.

wary: guarded, cautious, on-edge, careful. they were wary of the approaching stranger. warily, she poked at the dark shape in the corner of her room. he paused, wary, but nodded anyway.

So many people are so focused on not falling for discourse brain that they start denying a story’s ability to be art.

Like yeah actually, sometimes a story means something and can be engaged with and critisized and discussions can be formed around what happened and the meaning and message and intentions and that doesn’t have to be toxic or falling into any pipeline or carrying water for whatever thing of the day is being pathologized into people’s opinions (but from the right side so it’s actually good).

Not everything needs to be this entirely static thing that’s only purpose is to be observed, we aren’t all watching millions of permutations of paint drying.

guy who does unboxing videos but he only talks about the boxes

“Hey, everyone, welcome back. Our first box today is a Uline nine by five by four. Single piece of clear shipping tape over the top, two inch, and the UPS label nicely centered. No edge tape, and you know, that’s fine. This box is pretty light, I’d say under a pound, and taped edges don’t really add much stability here. Let’s open it up and see what we’ve got for dunnage…okay, half-inch bubble wrap, that’s unusual in a box of this size.”

Sometimes a post throws into perspective just how much niche knowledge you possess.

I read this, and I can tell from the “review” that the package was NOT shipped by a professional.

One: two inch tape. Professional establishments use three inch. It’s MUCH easier to seal boxes with, especially around the edges. Two inch is what you can buy from office depot or lowe’s. It’s fine for moving house, but it’s definitely not professional grade.

Two: no edge tape. Just seal your edges, people. UPS basically plays soccer with your packages. Even the light ones, just on principal, give them the structural support you can offer.

Three: centered label. Looks pretty on a package, sure, but it makes it very likely that the label will be covered up when the box is sitting in a stack or a pile, and that increases the chance that it will be manhandled to get to that label or even potentially mis-scanned or missed altogether in a stack. Label the SIDE of the box if at all possible! And put it to the side if you can’t! Visibility!

Also, the reviewer may be accustomed to getting a lot of boxes, but I don’t think they were a professional shipper, either. Someone who has shipped too many boxes would comment on whether the box was new or reused, whether there was any special hazmat (mostly lithium-ion battery) labeling, the condition of the package post shipping, and whether or not the weight of the package matched the stated weight on the label. AND they’d have commented on the two-inch packing tape.

I don’t know what to say other than “your experiences are not universal,” because I do shipping and receiving at a machine shop for a living, I see packages sent by professional shippers all the time, and I disagree with you on just about every point.

One: two inch tape. Professional establishments use three inch.

Nope. For packages I see, two inch packing tape is the norm. Today I had one package with three-inch water-activated reinforced paper tape and one (from Uline) with 2.75" packing tape. Everything else used 2" packing tape. Yes, it’s exactly the same kind of stuff that you can get at Office Depot or Lowe’s, and people use it because it gets the job done.

Two: no edge tape.

Not uncommon for small, light packages. I just don’t see box failures on packages under a pound where more tape would have helped. Where I do see failures is overloaded boxes, thirty pounds and up, where the corrugate simply ripped, and no amount of tape would have saved the package.

PSA: please don’t fill an 8x8x6 single-wall box with machine screws and expect it to arrive intact. Fastenal, I’m looking at you.

Three: centered label.

Label on top is standard. I had only one box today with the label on the side, and all the rest on top.

Looks pretty on a package, sure, but it makes it very likely that the label will be covered up when the box is sitting in a stack or a pile, and that increases the chance that it will be manhandled

Your package will get manhandled, regardless of where you put the label. Plan on it.

to get to that label or even potentially mis-scanned or missed altogether in a stack. Label the SIDE of the box if at all possible!

Heck no! I expect labels to be on top and that’s the first place I look for them. If it’s on the side, that’s potentially four other places I have to look, which is a pain in the ass when I’m busy. And I’m always busy.

UPS, incidentally, says you should put the label on the largest surface. For the packages I get, that’s usually the top.

Someone who has shipped too many boxes would comment on whether the box was new or reused,

Okay, that’s legit. I do see a fair number of reused boxes.

whether there was any special hazmat (mostly lithium-ion battery) labeling

Hazmats aren’t common enough to mention it every time when there isn’t one present. (My hazmats are usually solvents or paint, and that’s not something I get every day.)

the condition of the package post shipping

Not usually noteworthy. My internal monolog (which is what the above fanciful review is based on) doesn’t bother to mention it unless something unusual happened to the box.

whether or not the weight of the package matched the stated weight on the label

Although I ship just as many packages as I receive, if not more, it never would have occurred to me to check. And I don’t have a scale in the receiving department, so it would be guesswork anyway.

AND they’d have commented on the two-inch packing tape.

Which everyone uses. There’s not much need to comment when it’s far and away the most common type of tape.

Perhaps things have been different for you, but this is how it is in the manufacturing industry.
