@The_T yeah borrowing loanwords is a very messy process! you get all sorts of weird doublets and calques and words that are borrowed to mean something completely different than their original meaning

@The_T i am a satsuma tangerine, so named because they were originally exported to Europe from a port in the satsuma province of Japan (now part of Kagoshima), which stamped the crates thusly

i didn’t know there was also a satsuma sweet potato but given yams are popular in japan i assume it also originates from satsuma?

@The_T fortunately one can post terrible comics on any day of the year so you don’t have to miss out

@GracelessHippo we had hummus & goat cheese w/chopped veggies (carrots, cucumber, radishes, etc) for dinner last night

technically not no cooking since i used dried chickpeas, but if you used canned you just need a blender/food processor and don’t have to use the stove at all (or you can do what i did and just do it in the evening when its less hot, since you’re serving it cold)

@alis @imp LMAO i am in a fictional sports fandom that is not HR where two of the main characters are like…late twenties & regularly described as ancient and we love to dunk on them for this. Did not realize what a bullet we were dodging…

@wallhackio oh i would have voted baking if i realized everyone was like this, i was trying to be a contrarian

@moonsea np! i’m sure theres a bunch of other ones i’m forgetting about right now too 😅

@moonsea also, loads of codebases for like, any non-silicon valley company that hosts its own tech.

@moonsea

if you want some open source projects to poke around at in (besides dreamwidth obv lol) your perl journey gitweb ( git-scm.com/docs/gitweb ) and bugzilla are both entirely perl i believe: bugzilla.org

Food preserving, tomato sauce 

@edebill nice! are your tomatoes acidic enough to can directly or are you adding acid?

@kate i think u deserve the paletas in this situation

@Betty this does
explain how my uncle was listening to an audiobook narrated by maryl streep at least—if i was paying sixty bucks a pop i would accept nothing less
