does tea help?

#

i've heard pure cold milk can help against spicy food

solid harbor
#

hm, reach for fruit?

#

not sure about hot water.. something about how it doesn't work together chemically

violet flower
solid harbor
#

or sugar? like chocolate, do you think it would work?

#

I mean, using common sense water and oil don't mix.. but chocolate is made up of oil too

violet flower
#

i think it is more the fat in the milk that works against the spice

solid harbor
#

and that milk is acidic..

violet flower
violet flower
solid harbor
#

well, important thing about milk is that it has casein.. which is like detergent and oil/grease

violet flower
#

interesting, well i am not that much into milk .... sometimes a cup of chocolate or a little shot of haselnut flavored milk in my coffee when i am in the mood .... thats it

solid harbor
#

I enjoy soy milk, personally. Something about cereal drinks are nice

violet flower
#

my sister is compleatly into milk ... she drinks 1L pure 1.5% milk a day ..... without any flavors or additions .... just pure milk ...

solid harbor
#

hm, I used to not like the smell of powdered milk.. now I think it's not half bad

violet flower
#

powdered milk ?

solid harbor
#

milk powder

violet flower
#

as a subsitude for real milk for your coffee ?`i am sorry i have never heard of that

solid harbor
#

hm, it's like formula milk. Since it's in powder form it is easier to package and keep. All you need to do is add a measured amount of water.

violet flower
#

omg .... sorry maybe i am a little too old school ... but i think some things have to simply stay as they are ... milk have to be liquid ... imho

solid harbor
#

well.. there are bound to be alternative methods of preserving for every product. Some homemade desserts use milk powder to enhance the flavor, making it sweeter!

violet flower
#

well i think many big food companies also use those .... also powederd eggs and something like this ... but thats the main reason why this food tastes like it tastes and can't reach the food at home freshly cooked by my mother or granny 🙂

#

To counter spice eat fat
So a piece of toast with butter is also great if your mouth burns

solid harbor
#

But there are downsides to adding preservatives.. so whatever we consume do so in moderation!

tawny snow
#

Ah I just saw you already mentioned the fat content of the milk being the thing that helps, I skipped that 🤭

solid harbor
tawny snow
#

Horse raddish is a different type of spice, it doesn't linger

violet flower
tawny snow
#

It burns but to me it's a.. cold spice? Does that make sense?

solid harbor
#

it's addictive, i simply love the flavour

tawny snow
#

It calms down really fast, whereas chili spice lingers

solid harbor
#

I see your point

tawny snow
#

Also if your mouth burns from spice, don't drink water

violet flower
#

my body is a good type of spice detector ... chili spice burns in my throat .... pepper burns in my mouth and horse raddish and mustard burns/tickles in my nose ... 🙂

tawny snow
#

Water doesn't dilute the capsaicin, it just spreads it

#

Fat binds it, so anything fatty is great

solid harbor
#

pepper burns?

fickle zodiac
#

water make the hurty mad

solid harbor
#

Well, oil and water don't mix! 😆

violet flower
solid harbor
#

Carolina Black Pepper

tawny snow
#

If you're really sensitive even black pepper can burn

solid harbor
#

ah wait, the famous something Reaper

tawny snow
#

I personally love spice and adore the samyang fire noodles

solid harbor
#

..no stomachache or has your body been trained to tolerate it?

violet flower
#

jep ... imho jalapeno are also a kind of pepper .... right ? or is that more a chili type ?

solid harbor
#

I'll stick to asam food

tawny snow
#

Sometimes, but my stomach walls are stronger by now xD

#

You'll get used to it after a while

solid harbor
#

Chilli flakes are more my jam, they are just mildly peppery

#

Toss it with rice, with spaghetti..

tawny snow
#

On the topic of pepper
You gotta try fresh strawberries with a dash of freshly ground black pepper

solid harbor
#

really?

#

interesting combination

tawny snow
#

It's really good
At least imo

violet flower
#

well any country have some dishes or special additions who are unique to their country ... japan -> Wasabi for example, witch is a kind of horse raddish

solid harbor
#

hm, will try if given the chance

#

spices always make food better and tastier

violet flower
#

what is the most known spicy dish in your countries ?

tawny snow
#

Oh god.. currywurst? Depending on where you go
Apparently Berlin has super spicy currywurst

violet flower
#

Well here in RLP we have something that is namend ..... hmmm i cannot translate this properly .... "Blood and spice" ...

tawny snow
#

We don't have a lot of spice here, everything that says "hot" on the packaging is rather mild

solid harbor
#

hmm

tawny snow
#

Rlp? Rheinland pfalz?

solid harbor
#

bird's eye chilli or more commonly known as chilli padi

violet flower
tawny snow
#

What's the German word
Blut und.. Schärfe?

violet flower
#

"Blutwürze"

solid harbor
#

this chilli is quite spicy, but the green not so ripe ones make for great pickled chilli!

tawny snow
#

I've never come across that, my friend is from Mainz, sounds like something from that area

violet flower
#

bird's eye chili ..... hmmm don't sounds appealing in the first step 🙂

solid harbor
#

It's really cute and tiny

tawny snow
#

It tells me Blutwürze is Majoran?

violet flower
tawny snow
#

Interesting
I'd try it

violet flower

but there is also the infamous hot curry wurst down here 🙂

tawny snow
#

I wanna try that one!

#

hm, no specific dish.. here we are multi-cultural.. it can be used for Thai food, Sichuan Cruisine..

violet flower
#

so you are from asia ?

solid harbor
#

Yup!

violet flower
#

ah i see

solid harbor
#

So, there's lots and lots of food types

violet flower
#

and sooooo many flavors

solid harbor
#

Sweet, savoury, umami, sour.. all depends on what you like

solemn star
#

cats, dogs, pests

violet flower
#

umami ? what is that it sounds familiar

tawny snow
#

A flavour

solid harbor
#

Basically savoury, like the aromatic taste of meat

#

yum.

violet flower
#

ah i see

tawny snow
#

There is a umami paste at my local edeka

solid harbor
#

what do you cook it with?

tawny snow
#

Idk, I didn't buy it
But is probably use it as a basis for stew?

violet flower
#

yep i know the word but i wasnt able to put it in the sweet-sour-savory scale 🙂

solid harbor
#

ooh, interesting it has a lot of different ingredients

tawny snow
#

Tomatenmark, SARDELLENPASTE (SARDELLEN, Reismehl, Sonnenblumen öl, Salz), Wasser, Sonnenblumenöl, schwarze Olivenpaste (schwarze Oliven, Salz), Knoblauchpüree, Balsamicoessig (Weinessig, konzentrierter Traubenmost), GRANA PADANO KÄSE-Pulver, Butterpilze (Boletus luteus), Zucker, Salz, Säureregulator: Citronensäure

German list of ingredients of the paste

solid harbor
#

That is.. a lot of stuff and a wide variety. Wonder what it would taste like

violet flower
#

sounds like a all-in-one paste for a Goulash or a strong bowl

tawny snow
#

Tomato paste, fish paste, water, sunflower oil, black olive paste, pureed garlic, balsamic, cheese powder, mushrooms?, sugar, salt, citric acid

#

Yeah, that's why I said I'd use it for a stew

violet flower
#

ok i think it is time to ask the mods for a new chat channel ... Palia Cookbook 🙂

solid harbor
#

hey hey!

#

how many recipes has been exposed?

violet flower
#

I'm making pan fried green asparagus tonight

Asparagus, tasty

#

and crunchy

#

this evening i am going for Chevapcici with salt potatos and boiled green beans

tawny snow
#

I made it before, I'll post a picture in food and noms

#

Oh I haven't had chevapcici in ages

solid harbor
#

that image is making me hungry, is that fish and what did you season the asparagus with?

violet flower
#

i do it a little bit different ... try chevapcici with guacamole !

tawny snow
#

The fish is salmon and I used black pepper, salt and chili for the asparagus
And some butter

violet flower
#

oh damn, now as i wrote it i remember that i forgot to buy some Avocado .... i have to run to my next edeka ...

violet flower

We don't know what's going to happen, and that's a scary thing. I personally think that best use for fearful energy would be to see if your government provides a checklist for an emergency kit (typically these are used in hurricanes, floods, anything where you could/would be out of your home for an extended period) and go ahead and pack one. You don't need it right now, but it's useful to have. Most people recommend just keeping one pack in your storage room, some of then are years old.

final vigil
#

i dont think the danish govt does because we rarely ever face natural disasters or really any disasters at all, denmark is very shielded from that kinda stuff

next nimbus
#

Being a direct neighbor of Russia: this stuff is so so scary

exotic knot
#

Well it typically consists of non-perishable foods and safe drinking water that has been contained to last for several days, a first aid kit, the most basic utensils you need to cook (can opener, pan, spatula or spoon, heat source), an extra battery or portable charger for your electronic devices, games or puzzle if you are traveling with children, a full change of clothes (shirt, pants, shoes) but they reccomend you pack extra if you live in a cold climate, any sort of official papers or ID documents in a waterproof container, a radio for receiving broadcast signals, a warm blanket or sleeping bag for each person (pack more for colder climates), matches in a waterproof container, cash and change, local maps, flashlight, and a whistle. There's more stuff, but that seemed to be most important.

#

We get tropical storms amd hurricanes where I live so we usually keep one packed in case we need to evacuate.

#

And since we prepare ours ahead of time, we don't have to worry about people panic buying the entire store or contributing to the panic buying

final vigil
#

most of the things listed arent things you can just buy here 💔 like a radio or first aid kit

#

but its ok, i think i will just wait

#

there hasnt been any word on anything happening here

#

and most people will probably think im crazy if i start packing now anyways

exotic knot
#

That's a good strategy too

I have a suggestion: I know you want this server to be cozy and stress-free but the situation in Ukraine is influencing all of us around the world. As we have such a friendly and loving community, it could help some people to talk about that topic here. My suggestion therefore would be if we could make a separate temporary channel for the duration of the Ukraine situation? chapaapls

next nimbus
#

People will talk about the situation on here either way no matter how many times they are told not to. A separate channel gives them a chance to talk about it (which is in my opinion absolutely necessary anyway) and people that don't wanna read about it, don't have to check the channel

I understand and agree with you, but I still wanted to show support. It's not easy, both for us and definitely for our brothers in Ukraine. We Poles know better than anyone else how it feels to be left alone without any help.
And it really hurts when someone says "it's politics". No, it's not. People are dying, this is only the second day of the war and Russian troops already committed many war crimes.
Sometimes life can't be all rainbows and unicorns you know

#

Dear chair. I don't think, you really have people you talk with in Ukraine. Because, things YOU say are quite different from real people there see. It's really bad - yes. But THEIR bad are different.

I'll just say, there were many warcrimes you mentioned from Ukraine for many years none in Europe seemed to notice until suddenly someone's patience ran out.

Also, i guess, there's some sort of agreement between russian and american presidents about what will happen.

Sorrry. Too much politics already.
I will leave this server, though - and, i guess, Palia as well. As i'm from Russia, i don't think i want to speak about these things and fight nato's propaganda.
Take care, people.

it isn't necessarily prohibited to be discussed on the #💬│off-topic-chat , as long as we follow the server rules. I've asked the topic to be dropped yesterday and raised it on our team so we can talk about it so each mod's action will be uniformed. It's best to ask the topic to be dropped while it is still being discussed, and now that the team has decided (Amelia's post) on how to best handle such topic, users can now discuss it as long as we're still mindful about the server rules.

# final vigil and also as a fellow European the prospects of the war escalating is incredibly ...

that is why we (me and @fierce yacht ) suggested an extra channel for that. It's important that people can talk about this (even in a safe space) to cope with the situation. And people that don't wanna discuss it can stay away from it.
It WILL be discussed either way here. Can't escape the harsh reality.
And some people may have only this server to feel safe and accepted enough to talk about it (especially Ukrainians and Russians).

#

With the Ukraine topic still, what I recommended earlier is that it would be ideal to make a temporary channel for the duration of the Ukraine Crisis. After that the channel could be deleted, but it would be ideal in the world situation right now. I do understand that people want to keep this server calm and joyful, but there are a lot of scared people who might want to also talk and open up about the topic. Some people may not have another place to go to and talk about the topic. Just want to help people in need and having a place where we could give support TishHug

Mods have said it can be discussed respectfully.

yes but some of us are still stressed out by it

It's not a comforting topic.

YOU don't have to discuss it.

no but i’d like to be able to read through this channel without potentially having a panic attack

I'm sorry that it affects you in this manner, but unfortunately it's been given the okay.

solemn star
#

now you can see my point 👀

next nimbus
# barren wasp YOU don't have to discuss it.

but WE are all affected by it. So... a channel for this would be appreciated... especially as I am under the people being scared and NEEDING to talk about it but only having this server being safe enough for me to do so.

final vigil
#

maybe we can just have 2 other-chatter channels?

fierce yacht
barren wasp
#

There wasn't toxicity. People need to be able to read a room.

next nimbus
# final vigil maybe we can just have 2 other-chatter channels?

Or a channel for this discussion. So people instantly just know what it is about and can either discuss it there (respectfully ofc) or stay away. I get that it is very very scary and people don't want to face it right now. But some have to as well.
We gotta find a compromise, guys.

fierce yacht
#

maybe in your eyes it wasn't toxicity, but in my eyes it was.

barren wasp
#

Some people have emotional and mental issues when it comes to things like war. They're not saying they don't want to bring it up because they don't like it but because it affects them.

Everyone needs to be more understanding during a time like this.

It's an issue we as humans need to work on.

i really think there should be maybe a longer conversation with the mods about this

and what to do about it

next nimbus

#

maybe people can put discussion of the war in || spoilers || ? that might be a good compromise?

wise flame
#

for the ones that feel the need to talk about it, until this topic is talked about with the mods and perhaps the temporary chat is established, maybe you can create a smaller group DM with the people from here that you feel comfortable to talk to about this situation

a channel would be good but im not sure if the mods would want that

let's also make all the spoilers unmoderated! firechapaa

???

fierce yacht
#

I just do not understand why there can't be a discussion or an agreement on behalf of all, instead of just instantly going against saying that "the internet is too small?" when I just said that some people might not have another place to talk about this. We all don't have friends or family or any other person to talk to and may be alone in such difficult times in the world where any kind of support is needed, a place to talk.

This is a slower paced Wim Hof Method breathing exercise that starts with a 30 seconds hold building up to 90 seconds breath hold. Very suitable for beginners or anyone who prefers a more gentle guidance.

The mods have been very good about sharing the experiences of #💬│off-topic-chat with me, and I wanted to share some thoughts on what our next steps would be to help support those impacted by the awful events in Ukraine. 🇺🇦

#

Hello, gentle Palians.

We do not want to suppress reality, and what is happening in Ukraine right now is absolutely devastating.

We know this is a space that people come to so they can reliably find support from people they trust.

We also recognize that these same people may also come to this community to escape from real life. Even as some people turn to fellow community members for support, others turn to them for escapism.

We have heard the requests for a separate space to discuss. To find a balance between these two truths (support / escape), we have decided to create the following guidelines and actions:

**topggDotBlue We will be creating a dedicated THREAD inside #💬│off-topic-chat for this purpose. **

topggDotBlue This thread will be held to the same expectations as the rest of our Community Guidelines. This means:

1Blank topggDotRed Discuss the idea, not each other. We will not permit people to personally attack each other during the discussion.

1Blank topggDotRed No links posted. Unfortunately, there are people who create opportunities to take advantage of those in need. In order to be fair and create diplomatic moderation practices, we must implement a "no link" policy in this thread.

1Blank topggDotGreen To this end, we will be pinning a link to a verified source where you can educate and support your fellow members impacted by this difficult time:
1Blank 1Blank 1Blank https://uacrisis.org/en/help-ukraine

1Blank topggDotRed Unfortunately, we will have to uphold our "English-Only" policy to ensure our moderators can keep the chat safe.

1Blank topggDotRed We cannot condone or encourage threats of violence. We have seen some discussion wishing death and destruction upon those who instigated these attacks. We are not a community that will perpetuate violence or violent language. Please keep this thread focused on supporting each other. Venting is understandable, but we have to take these type of comments seriously and report them to authorities when they are posted.

Thank you all for your feedback and good hearts.

afaik there are no hdmi inlet on the ps3
The hdmi ports on your graphics card as well as the graphic outlet on your ps3 are build as outlets. To connect 2 devices as you imagine you'lee a special capturing card (ex. for your pc) but that connection will not be able to add the graphical power of those two devices. As the name suggest a capturing card can only capture an already processed video stream for recording or live streaming

HDMI is a type of connection that allows for video. The PS3 does not have this capability.

if i connected this to my screen than, all fine right?

#

as things should be

low igloo
violet flower
#

if your screen has two hdmi ports -> yes

#

but on most screens you can only choose between ps3 OR pc .... not both at the same time

#

so you have to toggle between the pc and the ps3 on your screen, there is a button or a option in the screen menu ... its like switching a channel on your tv

Late again!

hallow kite
#

aight so

#

about 5 months ago I decided to build a new PC
The water pump I got for CPU cooling was damaged - okie dookie, not a big deal, sent to manufactuer, they replaced it -all good
other company sent me wrong RAM - I ordered 32 GBs and they sent me 16 - okay, this can occur in the chaos, its okay I sent it back, got the right RAM
last week it turned out that the RAM they sent me IS BROKEN.
so I ordered a new one and everything worked
last week I also spilled glue on part of my PC case.
My reset button does not work anymore, but my power button was somewhat working. Until 2 days ago
2 days ago I attempted to fix the power button, because it was working with smoothness of chainsaw
I unscrewed 1 screw, got the button out, got my sand paper to remove glue and put everything back together - smooth as ever.
but my PC was stuck, nothing on screens, my RAM RGB was not working and PC wouldn't POST.
DRAM LED on the motherboard was lit up all the time.
So today I tried everything - removed RAM, used only 1 stick, even removed the whole god damn CPU (at least I replaced thermopaste and updated the BIOS lol)
nothing.
And I decided, "well, I probably bricked my motherboard". I was getting ready to remove it from my case, I started from unplugging front panel

#

And something told me "hey, try with only Power button connected to the PC"

#

you wouldn't guess - It booted

#

Glue must've somehow damage the reset button thus I wasn't able to boot.

Fingers crossed then. I hope it won't become cathartic in the old Greek way, where dragedies were known to be cathartic 🤞

From what I've know catharsis to be, it's like a psichological cleaning of some sort, which brings relief

Hence the old Greeks who used to watch their tragedies, through which they could attain this

On the subject of supercontinents, my favorite was Rodinia

light yarrow
#

Never heard of it, can you tell us more :D?

fickle zodiac
#

sure, see, Pangea was not the only time in earths history that there was one continent, there have been atleast 10, Rodinia was number 7 and it occurred about 1,130–750 million years ago and twards the end of the continent's life, there was a period called the Cryogenian, which saw the entire earth locked in ice from pole to equator for about 70 million years, the break up of Rodinia probably ended it, and freed earth up so complex life could explode

light yarrow
#

Whia, that's insane :o 70 mil years of just a frozen over planet

fickle zodiac
#

yea just 70 million years of snowball earth, from space it would have looked like hoth

light yarrow
#

That's so cool

fickle zodiac
#

not even the first snowball earth, that would be the Huronian glaciation of 2400 to 2100 Mya, and that one....lasted a bit longer, you can blame oxygen for that one, to think there was a time when oxygen nearly made everything dead.

How do you know so much about this :D? Hobby? School? Profession? It's so cool to see people with this wildly vast amount of knowledge about specific subjects

it was called the Great Oxidation Event, or Oxygen Catastrophe, cyanobacteria produced so much oxygen about 2.4 billion years ago that it caused the extinction of many existing anaerobic species, and cooled the earth so much that it completely froze over for 300 million years

oof...Public health is such a depressing field to be so passionate about. I'm looking into getting a MPH Nutrition concentration and my wife is currently finishing a BPH. She's doing research on food insecurity in urbanized indigenous populations and all of the different facets that go into these situations is SOOOO much more complex than 'hungry people are hungry, feed them'

eeeeesh... I'm sorry. Those sound like fields that require a lot of therapy for the professionals working in them.

# low igloo public health? what’s that? *american confusion*

It's a pretty wide umbrella term for the analysis of and policy making for public health. From community education to community nutrition to epidemiology, public health workers are the folks who advise other government agencies as to best practices for the common good of a given population. They're the people who advise the government and CDC on masking and what other measures are necessary to help slow or stop the spread of disease.

Silly question but since this discord is rather busy is there a way to stop the name bar from moving up and down all the time? When you scroll far enough and whenever anyone joins above or such it moves and hard to click after scrolling a bit down.

My dude, let's work on getting you to appreciate yourself first. You have to like and love yourself before you can think about adding another human into the mix. Sending you positive thoughts!

chrome isle
ember ivy
#

Don't, don't, don't think about relationships with humans in terms of value and supply/demand. That's awful backwards thinking. You're not trading goods and services, you're building a personal, emotional, and empathetic connection with a person who has thoughts and feelings and probably just wants a person who cares about what they think and has interest in their well being.

lone crypt
#

This ain't it bud. Take care of yourself and try to find a better headspace. We all need that at some point. This is your time to figure things out. Just accept that it's not all doom and gloom, you just aren't in the right place or the right time yet. Stick to you and dig yourself outta the mud.

ember ivy
#

Get out of these incel subreddits or wherever you are where you're getting poisoned by this thinking.

lone crypt
#

If you don't want it don't subscribe to it. Don't label yourself and take the defeat. You decide who and what you become.

#

No.

#

Have done. Happily so.

#

Not relevant.

ember ivy
#

You're wrong and this way of thinking is what's causing your pain.

lone crypt
#

Sounds more like you have a problem with you. Pain takes a toll. You need to get right with the package you come in. You have worth, even if you can't see it clearly right now.

#

No. That ain't what this is about.

my fiance didnt have money, nor is by any means healthy whats so ever. in my opinion its whats inside that counts. its a thing i look at first before judgeing some on their apperance. may sound cheesy i know but i fell for his personality and nothing else. The point i wanna make is that you will find someone one day. i hope anyway

ember ivy
#

I'm so sorry that you're experiencing this pain and whatever exclusion you've felt in your life. But you can't take that fact and treat women like they are transactional objects withholding things from you. People are able to see beauty everywhere.

sand pumice
#

👀

ember ivy
#

Look, it really seems like this incel poison has really dug in deep, and I hate that. But you're never going to be able to develop a real personal relationship with someone if you try to apply this transactional/market value view to it. That's not how people work.

#

I hope you're able to find love for yourself and real respect for yourself and others.

lone crypt
#

So many words just made me cringe. So many.

onyx quarry
#

Skill and knowedge in a game will not "win" for you or otherwise attract a partner. I can assure you that an attitude that belies any kind of contempt toward a person or treats other people as transactional...that will have the exact opposite impact of what one may be seeking, if it's relationship intimacy one is after.
