@essjax duolingo is bollocks for Japanese. I was at "you're a cool student" for weeks. All I ended up using was "thank you very much" and "excuse me". Google translate did the rest.
@kapellosaur baking stuff should be kept clean, otherwise bad things happen. Try washing the container and see if that helps.
@kapellosaur do you wash the container thoroughly after each use?

Today I learned that I had been erroneously hashtagging posts with #Aoteaora instead of #Aotearoa. Thank you autocomplete! 😜

A quick search of hashtags enabled me to go back and fix the mistakes. Heads up, though, I'm not the only one who has made this mistake. 🙂

Every time I see some well-meaning folks advocating "tax the rich!!" I wonder, why not think big and abolish money instead?

Money isn't merely a symptom of poverty, as Iain Banks pointed out: money creates poverty—there's a potentially infinite supply of money generated by allocating debts and issuing credit, but only certain people are permitted to accumulate it.

We need a better resource allocation system; "tax the rich" is a sticking plaster prescribed for a heart attack.

@essjax I saw that. His profile is "freedom based".
