The lady who owns the Ethiopian place near me told me that it’s really hard to get the injera right when you first try it the US. The wild yeasts that occur naturally in Ethiopia are not present here. Is like how “real sourdough only comes from San Francisco.”

She said she couldn’t get it to work right with pure teff like back home and to play around for a long time with the mix of wheat, rice flour and teff before it was even edible.

Maybe the place you had it was still figuring it out.

It is boiled feet, skin and bones. The purifying process can only do so much.

Yes, but also, for anyone unsure, you are supposed to fill the raised beds with soil, so they are raised. Usually the kind that comes in bags marked “raised bed soil” or you get it by the truckload and have it dumped in your driveway.

Not sure whats going on with these garden corrals. Do they think the vegetables are going to escape, or do they have a problem with turtles munching the greens?

“Please talk to me like I’m your grandmother. I’m tired of asking what you mean.”

I’m not saying there shouldn’t be male hormonal birth control, it’s just that after 40 years of the same story over and over, it seems the effort should be redirected. Vasalgel has been “in development” since the 70s. It’s not getting any closer.

Meanwhile, the US still only has one size of non hormonal IUD available, and two sizes of hormonal. They don’t fit most nulliparous women comfortably. This is a very fixable problem. 50 years of R&D could have solved this.

Calexico is the name of the merger.

Nether method is more complicated or more natural or “easier.” It’s fiddling with hormones to decrease fertility.

Your personal perception is that because when women are pregnant they can’t get pregnant, they should be the ones to have their hormones fiddled with, despite the risk of death, that has, thus far not been shown in male hormonal birth control. That’s got nothing to do with science.

It is a bit callous. I’m old enough to have seen this pop up a dozen or so times.

Every time the depression, weight gain, acne and libido changes are deemed too severe for approval and women are sitting here like… yeah, it’s all that plus increased occurrence of stroke and heart attack for us, but ok.

Female birth control has to be safer and have fewer side effects than pregnancy.

Male birth control has to be safer and have fewer side effects than letting women carry the burden of birth control.

There will not be a male birth control pill. We would be better off putting these resources toward improving the safety of female birth control.

And everybody knows it if you don’t wash your hands, so more people do.

For me, there is kind of default neutral sounding voice for comments, but as soon as I get some kind of clue as to the speaker, either from language or punctuation patterns or if they say something about who they are- age, gender, nationality, etc., then the voice gets some more distinctive sound to it.

For instance, @ickplant@lemmy.world, who is the main poster in several communities I subscribe to, has a picture of Leela from Futurama as her profile pic, and she has mentioned that she’s a she. So obviously when I read a comment or a title she wrote, it’s in Leela’s voice.

Your comment seems energetic and friendly, so the voice is genderless and with a neutral (to me) accent, but with an energetic, friendly tone and cadence.
