Meaning the real victory was the lifelong immunity from IRS investigations for his family and businesses. The fund was so outrageous they probably never expected to get it through, but it was a useful lighting rod to draw attention away from what he really wanted.

Nice work!

Somewhat related, if you ever have the opposite problem (not enough in your freezer to make it worth running), you can get sheets of foam insulation and cut them to fit. I filled up the unused volume in my deep freeze this way and now use it for what I need without worry.

If you are buying from a bulk bin, some of the beans could be older than others, which will get you inconsistent results when cooking. I find it best to buy prepackaged dried beans - they are usually pretty consistent. Try a local Indian supermarket if you have one - lots of variety and really good prices in my experience.

Hey! I’m old enough to remember losing money on Bre-X! Cool blast from the past, bro. (sobbing)

Very nice! I’m planning to make one of these soon. Can you post pictures of the bottom, and maybe of one of the trays?

The older boys are often the most cuddly. I have an 18-year old orange boy and all he wants is contact. It’s lovely.

That is fucking hilarious. What a child.

The feature I miss most is the ability to get back to my All feed without losing scroll position after an accidental swipe takes me back to the Feeds list. The only way i know to get back is to select All again, which resets scroll position to the top. Very annoying to try to find my way back to the post I was on.

I believe Apollo had a feature allowing for a swipe right on the bottom button bar to return to the feed without losing position. That’s the only thing missing from my experience.

That’s a great article, tanks for posting.

Cory has a way for getting right to the heart of things, and does so marvellously here. Great explanation of why the investments continue despite the dogshit economics of this industry.
