  • If you want to make your own version. There are a couple tricks. Take an entire head of garlic, place it on a solid surface and crush it with the heal of your palm. Then throw the entire mess into a mason jar, or even two matching bowls closed up. Then shake the piss out of it for 10-30 seconds.

    Then dump the contents and pick out the fully pealed garlic.

    Then just finely chop or crush the garlic and put it into an ice cube tray. You can then add a thin layer of olive oil to help cut the freezer burn, or just cover the tray.

    A food processor and a spoon can also be used to keep from touching the garlic juice.



  • It’s also important to note that allicin breaks down with time, acid, or the application of heat.

    Another note here, it takes time for the allicin to form. So your maximum flavor is about 10-15 minutes after crushing the garlic. After that, you start losing flavor.

    That said, allicin is only one of many flavors. And different preparations can highlight those flavors. A rich tomato sauce that has simmered for hours is elevated with garlic, but fresh garlic is a waste. Use jarred or even powdered (soaked in room temp water for a few minutes first) and it will taste much the same.


  • Actually… Yes, but only for saying that Julian Assange isn’t a hero to be worshiped.

    He had a good idea, but his ties to Russia taint everything.

    Per the fact that he’s repeatedly turned down leaks critical of Russia.

    There’s a certain type of person who strongly believes in binaries. They rightly see that the US is shit, and somehow believe that makes anyone who “stands up to the US” automatically good.

    It’s half of the Tankie mentality. The other half is actively cheering for dictators and the murder of “non-conformists”, whatever shape they take.

    On a final note, https://ddosecrets.com/ is what WikiLeaks looks like with protections for innocents mentioned in the leaks.

    WikiLeaks has such a policy, but have leaked names of activists and whistleblowers several times now.









  • Banana Republics come to mind. But during the time frame the US was doing that, Most of Europe was still doing their own colonialisms.

    It was only when Hitler brought colonialism back to Europe that they started to wake up to how bad it was. Well, some of them. France and England had to start losing colonial wars, mostly due to losses suffered in due to WW2, before they slowly started freeing colonies.

    Just shows that everyone is shit, and cheering for a team is kind of stupid.
