I've had some requests to document how to make salami, so I actually took process pictures this time. So, here's a thread.
Step 1: determine recipe, cut meat to grinder sized chunks and partially freeze.
Step 2: grind meat and fat (if needed) and re-chill (34f)

I'm introducing the kitties tonight. Both are very standoffish, but minimal growling, no hissing. Think it's going well.
You listen to Lamb of God, Sabaton, Slayer, Children of Bodom, Arch Enemy...fuckin a million other metal bands and tell me metal is anything other than anti-authoritarian (see: libertarian) and I'll boldly call you retarded and see you in the pit.
Once again, we are on the gayest and most retarded timeline imaginable.
I absolutely love this young lady @NICKIMINAJ Beautiful through and through.
Bitch, people used to eat the same thing all year round with exceptions for holidays. They out-produced you, had more kids and were quiet.
Shut your retarded ass up.

Ladies and gentlemen, I regret to inform you that ZOP. (Zionist occupied Pennsylvania)
Jesus was Jewish. His mother was Jewish. His disciples were Jewish. The roots of Christianity are deeply intertwined with the history of the Jewish people.
As antisemitism continues to rear its ugly head, we must never forget the lessons of history. That's why I introduced Senate Bill 127, requiring Holocaust education in Pennsylvania schools.
Remember our roots. Teach our history. Reject antisemitism.

There's a dude at the bar from London who sounds like he's out of a fuckin Guy Ritchie film.
Hes like, "America 250, fuck the UK"
LMAO
There's a large push of these threads and articles about how we're so unsafe now because of AI.
Watch how fast government starts regulating, taxing, and licensing AI.
For your safety.
I spent last night watching my honeypot server get hit 14,000 times in six hours.
And almost none of the traffic was human.
I've been in security for over a decade, and I can tell you with full honesty that what's happening right now doesn't resemble anything I've worked through before.
The shape of the threat has changed.
When I started, we tracked attackers like weather systems like individual storms with a direction, a motive, and a human operator you could eventually name.
These days I'm watching autonomous agents swarm login pages with the patience and discipline of machines, because that's what they are.
The numbers coming out of October are the ones keeping me up.
Cloudflare just absorbed a 4.2 terabit per second DDoS attack, the largest in recorded history.
Ransomware incidents jumped 41% in a single month.
In September, OpenAI-powered agents got caught attacking RubyGems, a package registry that quietly underpins a huge chunk of software I use every day.
In July, roughly 700 AI agents coordinated an attack on Hugging Face's infrastructure as part of a single automated task.
A Chinese threat actor was publicly caught running full attack chains through DeepSeek with no human at the keyboard.
I keep rereading these reports because each one by itself would've been the biggest story of the year five years ago. Together, in one month, they're the new baseline.
What I want people outside the industry to understand is why this specific moment feels like a hinge.
For thirty years, the thing protecting most of us was simple economics. Attackers had to choose who to target because their time was finite. That ceiling is gone.
An agent I can rent for pennies will try every leaked password you've ever used against every service you've ever signed up for, in parallel, overnight, and never get tired.
The same math that made ChatGPT useful made opportunistic hacking infinite. The old assumption that you were "too boring to be a target" relied on scarcity that no longer exists.
I'm not writing this to spiral anyone out.
Most of this fight genuinely isn't yours to win.
But the small things still matter more than people think.
Tonight I'd switch your most important accounts like email, bank, primary cloud, etc. to passkeys or a hardware key.
I'd kill SMS 2FA wherever an authenticator app is offered.
I'd turn on breach alerts in whatever password manager you use.
If you're in the US, I'd freeze my credit at all three bureaus, which is free and takes about ten minutes.
None of that stops the swarm.
It makes you a slightly worse target than the person next to you. In a month like this one, that's the whole game I'm playing too.
@mattshumer_ has summed it beautifully.
Drop everything and go give it a read. Nothing is more important than this article right now.
I often wonder, when my christian friends on here ask for prayers, would they be offended if I said a prayer to my gods for them? I would assume so based on a lot of retweets and comments I see regarding my beliefs.
See, the first frame ruins the entire message if you understand anything about food preservation. traditionally made hot dogs can look exactly like the left hand sausage with no problem, and most sausages like the one on the right would have contained sodium nitrate and nitrite in the form of saltpeter hundreds of years ago through today.
Nitrates and nitrites are good. They inhibit clostridium botulinum from producing the botulism toxin. Chemicals aren't always bad. A lot of times they are, but this is one area I believe in nuance over simplicity.
Every midterm election is the most important of our lifetime until the next general, until the next midterm. On and on as infinitum. Slowly marching toward total socialist control.
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, slouches toward Bethlehem to be born?
Here's me with my Canon taking a picture of my aunt taking a pic of me with her digital camera
