Looks cool. I'd suggest putting a minimal code example and screenshot in both the repo and homepage.

Thanks! I will do that.

Thank you for mentioning my extension! I created it after a comment here on HN spurred me into action, finally fed up with long-winded recipe blogs.

I believe salt stops being effective around -12C, so for colder places it's not an option.

Could they not just pay them whatever profit they would normally get to not produce anything?

[Rapzid → strig]

That does nothing for demand so the price would to through the roof. All the people you're not paying to not grow will step in to fill that demand.

This works if there is no collusion between politicians, the law enforcement, cartels and criminal elements.

> configuration galley

What does this mean?

[ertemplin → strig]

My interpretation of this is a junior SDE position where you mostly update system configuration parameters all day instead of writing code or designing systems. People in these positions still get paid SDE salaries but aren't gaining any useful software development experience.

A galley was a large-ish, primarily oar-powered ship.

However it also refers to the kitchen on certain even larger boats.

So, it's kind of ambiguous what GP meant - either picking a cook out of a galley-kitchen (who is not the best chef, but rather someone making huge amounts of food for a ship's crew), or picking a slave off of the oars in a galley-ship.

I don't know.
