  • We user / have used Slack, Zoom, Meet/Gchat and a VERY brief trial of teams.

    We have O365 AND Google Workspaces so we get teams and meet for free.

    Zoom is the best to host a large meeting with a split presence. It’s the best at dealing with variably poor connections. It shines on being able to share any specific app and sound control.

    Meet is the best for small, low-friction meetings. However, it is hampered by its inability to share anything but browser tabs with sound, poor camera control, and poor user display.

    Slack is a fantastic, too-flexible chat system with organizational issues. When it works, it works pretty well. However, it has intermittent video and mic problems on many systems. It is not good on poor connections and occasionally not good on fast connections.

    Teams is bloated, many systems run it poorly, and there is an unacceptable amount of server-imposed downtime/issues.














  • I make chili for work once a quarter or so. I make two batches, one Vegan, one Fantastic (ok kidding)

    Yes, you can use just about any meat substitute they are all fantastic. Slices of seitan, TVP, Small chunks of drained and pressed low moisture tofu, morning star sausage. The spices destroy any of the finer flavors, so you’re just in it for the texture you really can’t go wrong because the only no-no is gristle.

    Before the meat alternatives got decent in the past few years, I always just made both batches with beans.


  • Bernie could actually get republican voters

    nah, not buying that one. Never seen ANY inclination for them to call him anything but a dirty socialist.

    People continuingly act like 1/3 of the country just doesn’t vote.

    do you have any data that suggests overwise?

    We saw in 08 with Obama they’ll show up for a Dem running a populist campaign,

    63.6% turnout. Less white votes, more minority votes than 2000 or even 2004

    Neoliberalism isn’t popular enough to win elections

    This we can ardently agree on.
