Fun fact: Female hyenas have dicks.
Am I a female hyena?
You can clean cooking pans and pots by heating them up and then pouring water on them. As the water boils it pulls all the stuck particles off with little to no scrubbing.
You can also make a nice sauce if you use wine or some kind of stock.
Young children don’t warn you when they learn how to open locks. Sometimes you find out when they’re rifling through your stuff or well down the road.
This reminds me of something my dad used to say
Put a piece of dark cooking chocolate in your bolognese sauce.
For hand sewing, pull your thread between your thumb and a block of bees’ wax a few times after threading it, and you won’t have to worry about knots nearly as much.
Security by obscurity does not work, because people are only so creative up to a point. Hence, there are only handful of configurations for the attacker to try out.
This contrasts to e.g. 128-bit secure encryption, which involves trying 2^128 times to break it - which is a number with whopping 38 zeros. It takes 10^22 years to break it with trying at 1GHz rate. It is simply incomparable, and adding a few bits of security by obscure combination is simply not worth it.
Yet, so many people and organizations seem to prefer obscurity to actual security.
It really depends on the purpose. Sometimes you can hide stuff in unexpected places when there isn’t much interest for other people to find it, or if they don’t even know about it’s existence.
Also sometimes it is good enough to just delay the discovery of something for a while, because its value after a certain time diminished completely.
So, I would argue that sometimes security by obscurity can be useful. But I agree that it generally shouldn’t replace proper encryption.
I know a dog called mister Dingleberry. Mister DingleBerry likes to dingle his berries. In dingling his berries he takes such delight, if he could he’d dingle his berries day and night.
One time, I remember it well, he dingled his berries so hard, he tripped over them and fell.
In dingling his berries he takes such glee, they say he dingles his berries mercilessly.
He dingles and dangles his berries berry hard. One time he got completely dingleburried under em and let out a fart.
The end.
I’ve learned a few things about some stuff to the point where I can definitely say I have some experience with them.
The real secret to the most delicious sauces you’ve ever tasted is one anchovy fillet chopped into paste and simmered into the sauce, for every litre/quart of sauce you are making.
I just made Serious Eats All-American Beef Stew earlier today, and they call for anchovies (which I had none, so I substituted fish sauce) as the umami bomb. But even for folks who get grossed out by little fish, it gets blended with chicken stock, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce (and gelatin), to create the base. Fish sauce has become a staple in my house for certain recipes, it’s great.
It’s why the Romans didn’t use salt as a condiment, but fish sauce. The umami+salt is different and objectively better.
The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.
And osmosis is the hyper fusion of water across a semipermeable membrane.
I failed biology because I just refused to study (was an idiot), but that one always stuck with me.
midi-chlorians are the powerhouse of the Force.
I have ADHD at a level rarely rivaled so I know quite a bit about a variety of random things
I do.
