IDK, all this "quoting other people's work" business seems mighty intellectual to me. Really smart people are outside of academia, where they think of smart stuff all on their own. /s

Even in Germany, far-right sentiments are pretty strongly related to people's level of education and economic opportunities.

As a general rule, if you want long-term wealth inequality, make sure your people are about as dumb as they are poor.

Very important point, just one technical remark, because I see this a lot: You don't necessarily want or need random samples in surveys. What you want is a probability sample, which means that you know the probability with which a person enters the sample. A random sample is a special type of probability sample, where each person has the same probability to enter the sample.

The large sample used for this "survey" in the OP is a convenience sample, which is a non-probability sample, where the persons' probabilities to enter the sample are simply unknown. And this is often not a useful basis for a survey, because it's affected by all sorts of response biases that are difficult to adjust for in non-probability samples.

Link to their main instance: https://cryptpad.fr/

From the "About" section on their website:

CryptPad provides a full-fledged office suite with all the tools necessary for productive collaboration. Applications include: Rich Text, Spreadsheets, Code/Markdown, Kanban, Slides, Whiteboard and Forms.

End-to-end encrypted

All data on CryptPad is encrypted in the browser. This means no readable data leaves the user's device. Even the service administrators cannot see the content of documents or user data. Illustration showing two paper shredders destroying and reconstructing a sheet of paper. Illustration of three people collaborating on a document. They can see the document but the server connecting them only sees random letters and digits.

Private Collaboration

CryptPad is built to enable collaboration with features such as team drives, calendar, and sharing. It synchronizes changes to documents in real time. Because all data is encrypted, the service and its administrators have no way of seeing the content being edited and stored.

Fully open-source

CryptPad is free software. Anyone can host the platform in a personal or professional capacity. The development team offers subscriptions and support contracts for ready-to-use deployments.

[QUESTION] What can replace onions and garlic? (sh.itjust.works)

submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I love cooking, and most dishes I cook contain some kind of onions or garlic in varying amounts. Unfortunately, my partner doesn't handle them well, so I want to replace them as much as I can.

Leek is one decent alternative to onions, and I've recently discovered Asafoetida, a spice that creates an oniony flavor. But onions are also important for texture, especially in saucy dishes, and both leek and spices replace that poorly. Fennel works sometimes but alters the taste.

Garlic generally seems hard to replace, although I've had some success with only slightly squashing the cloves and fishing them out before serving.

Anyway, I'm looking for suggestions. Anybody know any good alternatives, any cool tips or tricks I could try?

Edit: To clarify, the issue is that my partner can't digest them properly and they cause pain (likely a mild food allergy). The flavor is not an issue, and we both enjoy the stuff that we cook apart from this issue.
