If you rediscover cheese, you will rediscover cheeseburgers and sandwiches. It probably will cascade uncontrollably after that.

op can probably go into more detail but aging cheese typically becomes more acidic and reduces water activity, meaning the bacteria dry out and die. 60 days is just accepted as long enough for that to occur

yep

also it's imperfect at eliminating all of the pathogens (some of the time) so pregnant women still need to avoid it

sadly about the only thing I can get hyped for is games these days. Pacific Drive comes out in a week and is going to be sick as hell. everything else for me is just a tedious slow grind downwards watching material conditions rapidly decline for everyone around me with no light at the end of the tunnel.

unironically it must be nice having technocratic normie rutibex mind where you are constantly riding on the hype converor belt getting pumped up and simping for AI, VR, metaverse, latest crypto tether, whatever constantly about how its going to revolutionize society. all i see is dogshit worthless waste of resources and immiseration machines.

but yes I do love cheese way too much, just dont know much other than it's delicious. when i was younger, i always thought the dream job would be to like living in a very remote tiny monastery-thing deep in the Swiss Alps just making some kind of fancy cheese all day.

China doing that thing we all lament the West for not doing. Whodathunk?

WSJ posted:

Xi is adamant that real estate, which for years propelled China’s growth and at one point made up around a quarter of gross domestic product, should no longer take on such an outsize role in the economy, the policy advisers say.
In Xi’s view, too much credit moved into property speculation, adding risks to the financial system, widening the gap between the haves and the have-nots, and diverting resources from what Xi considers to be the “real economy”—sectors such as manufacturing and high-end technology that he sees as crucial for China in its competition with the U.S.

This arrangement also screws working Americans because why bother investing in educating the peasants when you can push a button and snatch up a thousand doctors and engineers from across the world?

No wonder the American educational system is chronically underfunded and decaying.

If you don't have a manufacturing base you don't need large numbers of skilled factory workers who grasp literacy, numeracy and basic science. So in the USA and similar nations most education serves no purpose.

Still, how could I have been such easy prey? Scam victims tend to be single, lonely, and economically insecure with low financial literacy. I am none of those things. I’m closer to the opposite. I’m a journalist who had a weekly column in the “Business” section of the New York Times.

The cost would be huge: potentially up to $280 billion a year for the next five years, or a total of around $1.4 trillion, according to some analysts.
My god, worst case scenario they spend the annual budget of the US military over five years on a project to improve their nation. How utterly unfeasible. What could they possibly be thinking spending so much money on helping people instead of artisanal explosives.

the cities skylines 2 debacle seems spot on for why modern games suck so much. Released half finished to meet a quarterly deadline, locked down so no modding allowed and now the entire brand is so trashed that people are not even playing the first game anymore
