  • Probably proper knife skills. I’ve always been pretty good with a knife, but I’ve been taking my time to really refine the skill as I do a lot of cooking for large groups so speed is extremely useful. I honestly learnt a lot of it indirectly by just watching how chefs use them, but for the theory and all that I started with Lan Lam’s video on knife skills over at the America’s Test Kitchen yt channel.

    I’m about to be going to an event where I’ll be cooking nearly a thousand meals a day for three days, so I’m going to be putting it to the test. The one nice thing is we’ll have a team of volunteers to help with ingredient prep, so it should be okay but daunting none the less.

    Yeah exactly right? I’ve had Americans tell me that snakes and spiders are too scary, snakes will actively run from people (mostly) and spiders don’t care about you they just want flies and stuff.

    Meanwhile in NA you’ve got powerful prey species that will just randomly wander through town, not to mention all the gun violence in the USA…

    Most dangerous thing here are the cars tbh.

    I really really hate this narrative. Time and time again people tell me they would love to come to Australia but it’s too dangerous.

    This isn’t a dangerous place, most of our wildlife is harmless and/or actively avoids people. It makes me so damn sad every time another friend tells me how deadly my home is, and even worse they refuse to listen to people who actually live here because they’ve been told Australia is dangerous their whole life.

    Except it actually is reality?

    Anarchist collectives in Spain are the biggest example of anarcho-syndicalism existing and thriving in history, hell the CNT even exists today. I’d recommend reading the anarchist collectives by Sam Dolgoff if it’s something you’re curious about, it’s a fantastic read.

    More general anarchism exists today in the Zapatistas, and probably other groups I’m not aware of. If you extend that to just anarchist collectives then I can rattle off a list of them just in one suburb of my city.

    It’s important political theory, and it works. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t change that fact.
