The Latin name for June is Junius. Ovid offers multiple etymologies for the name in the Fasti, a poem about the Roman calendar. The first is that the month is named after the Roman goddess Juno, the goddess of marriage and the wife of the supreme deity Jupiter; the second is that the name comes from the Latin word iuniores, meaning "younger ones", as opposed to maiores ("elders") for which the preceding month May (Maius) may be named.[4] Another source claims June is named after Lucius Junius Brutus, founder of the Roman Republic and ancestor of the Roman gens Junia.[5]

In ancient Rome, the period from mid-May through mid-June was considered inauspicious for marriage. Ovid says that he consulted the Flaminica Dialis, the high priestess of Jupiter, about setting a date for his daughter's wedding, and was advised to wait till after June 15.[6] Plutarch, however, implies that the entire month of June was more favorable for weddings than May.[7]

Certain meteor showers take place in June. The Arietids takes place May 22 to July 2 each year, and peaks on June 7. The Beta Taurids June 5 to July 18. The June Bootids take place roughly between 26 June and 2 July each year.

Well, I hosed up big time. I clicked on a Youtube advertisement on my phone because I thought it looked funny, and it took me to the iOS store where I confirmed that, indeed the game looked funny.

I am now being completely bombarded with lovely awful horrible iOS game suggestions as opposed to what Youtube normally does, which is look at all my recent google searches for 3d modeling tutorials and using their billions and billions of dollars in data analysis to compute that I am in the market for an industrial blender.



One example of a really great game you could play.

The big one I keep seeing though is Evertale, maybe because I accidentally said the word "Pokemon" out loud the other day while watching the Pal World trailer. The ad I keep seeing pitches it as a Pokemon game and shows a little trailer full of monsters that are just recolored Pokemon. Like, not exaggerating, they are just Pokemon. So I wanted to post about this earlier, but I cannot find that trailer anywhere. Instead, this has led me on a wild goose chase to figure out: what the gently caress is this game? Because every single image I see makes it look like a completely different game. I thought it was gonna be Pokemon, but upon looking farther there's an anime version of Little Red Riding Hood and it looks like a regular gacha game where you pay money for cute girl .jpgs, but then I see other screenshots that have monsters but none of the Pokemon I saw in the ad. Sometimes the game is isometric like FFTA, sometimes the game looks like RPG maker

Turns out this is another case of weird mobile game advertising where the footage they're showing isn't actually the game. Whatever weird outsourcing they're doing is just grabbing random poo poo from the internet and compiling it into a trailer. I cannot find the one I saw anywhere, but I did find these two trailers which are uh, equally unrelated to the game.

Got groceries today to do some actual effort cooking, will post updates starting Monday. I think a lot of cooking advice/shows are really funny because it has no idea what level of cooking experience the average American has. I remember seeing some Food Network survey that is like, less than 5% of people who watch the shows actually try recipes at home and they were surprised by that because so many of their recipes are focused on being easy and quick with things you already have in your kitchen. Meanwhile I'm reading a recipe list thinking to myself "I've never even seen raw garlic in real life before you think I have any of this stuff just sitting around in my house?" So I had to do a bit of investment into finding some recipes that had a fair amount of ingredient overlap so I wouldn't have to buy a million spices and stuff like that

Breh

Also Garlic keeps for months, shove it in a dark cool closet/pantry
Same with Potatoes and onions. You can also get a lot farther with just Salt, Pepper, Cayenne, Garlic Powder, and MSG than you think.

Chopping/Peeling Garlic is incredibly easy, I honestly don't know why there's products or tech's for it. Smash the bulb with the flat of your knife, pull out a clove, smash that, pull off the peel and chop. If you need it finely minced grate it.

Also keep in mind the Garlicky flavor is released from the cell walls of the plant, thus whole garlic is lacking in it, while grated or minced is packed with it, many recipes calling for an abundance of garlic really just need a finer mince.

Your first purchase as a budding cook should be a nice cast iron and a good knife. Don't pay for the Cast Iron, someone you know has one they don't want, or check goodwill. If you don't know how to maintain it check out Internet Shaquille on Youtube, He's a real no bullshit guy about cooking. No woo only how to take care of it.

As for a knife find one that isn't too long, it should fit comfortably in your hand and feel well balanced. I believe Victorinox was the company rec'd for cheap good knives back in the day, when in doubt go smaller than you think.

It's a bit more advanced but if you can look into a whetstone, Ethan Chelbowski has a good intro to Whetstone sharpening on his youtube. One well sharpened knife is better than two dozen lovely Cutco knives.

After that a Paring Knife, a stock pot, and a cutting board are the only thing's that you really need

New cooks tend to buy a lot of devices. Trust me most of that poo poo is worthless. Ninety percent of meals just need the above.

It's Fat and Salt, it's what humans love the most. You would be scared, frigtened, even disgusted at putting 1 pound of butter for every 2 of potatoes. That's why you don't have a michilen star.
