I'd say that it's about as much wiki as it is blog, because the timeline feature that separates a blog from a pre-blog "homepage" is hidden to the point of being missing. Makes me wonder how an "alternate history wikipedia" would be like, where pages had explicit maintainers and the cotton fork model. The process for selecting the current leading fork would obviously be a huge source of endless drama, but I'd expect…

would probably be a hellscape, filled with opposing "facts", conspiracy theories and vandalism.. imo wikipedia is still better as it atleast tries to be factual and neutral (ofc it isn't perfect, but do you really want anti vaxers to show you what they think is a credible source right next to an actual credible source? why don't we let the baseless conspiracy theories stay on facebook)

The beauty in the fork/pr model would be that people who claim that they would be better stewards of a given topic could simply try to convince by example (in their fork), even in the hottest edit war. The current wikipedia model, as far as I understand it (which isn't far at all I admit), is that if a battle gets too hot it ends with a competition in pulling rank: escalating lockdown until only one group remains (a group that may or may not be considered neutral by others - certainly considers itself neutral, but who doesn't...). Fork/pr could never have a problem editors that are respected/neutral in one field but turn out to be zealous in some other niche.

I don't buy this, cuz like you mentioned itd be a source of endless drama alright but it'll also be harder to keep track of everything on Wikipedia if it were all a giant repo.. tho having different repos about each page sounds more sensible

Fork/pr would have to be per page, obviously, not per wikipedia.

Use gloves if you’re ever handling a lot of tamarind as well. It’s more acidic than you might think and it will burn your skin.

Same thing with lemons, especially if you're in sunlight.

Yeah I had to juice a bunch of lemons a few days ago (1/4 lemon just speared with a fork and juiced into a strainer to catch the seeds, which is quick but also covers basically your entire hand in juice) and I was surprised how almost raw my hands felt after for basically the rest of the day.

Any citrus, and a few other plants as well: https://health.clevelandclinic.org/lime-juice-and-sunshine-c...

2018, 127 comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17540401 I made this back then! It’s what taught me to use gloves with chili. The capsaicin managed to permeate my skin, and for around 3 days my hands would start burning if they only got slightly warm. I had to sleep with my hands slightly raised, so they wouldn’t touch either the mattress or the covers (or my own skin). Nowadays, I always have nitrile gloves…

I feel dumb, I just now rubbed my eye after eating hot sauce. Senor Lechuga Hot Sauce .003 - very good but very hot and my eye is on fire.

Avoid touching sensitive areas if you handle chili peppers or hot sauce, eyes, nose, groin...

I wish emacs would implement kitchen-sink support already.

You will not be surprised to learn of the existence of org-chef, a package to help writing recipes in org-mode.

I've been using Emacs for over 20 years, and even I thought you were joking before I web-searched org-chef!

Similar story with me. I was at my grandma's house for the holidays and wanted to can a bunch of jalapenos. I'd slice them in half, rub the seeds/guts out with my thumb then slice them into rings and throw them in a jar to boil. Did several pounds... Night came and I couldn't sleep my hands were burning so bad. Touching the sheets or anything would shoot pain. I went and dug through her medicine cabinet and found some tylenol with codeine pills. Took a couple and managed to go to sleep but woke up in the morning and they were still burning. Was like that for 3 days or so.
