I was watching this youtuber called Charles Veitch and now I’m addicted. That’s a first. He’s a right winger who makes long videos walking the streets of Manchester commenting on anything from protests in support of Palestine to drunks and addicts in the streets. There’s just so much to unpack in those hour long videos.

I’m left wing, but he’s not wrong about everything. He has to walk around with multiple bodyguards for his own safety because he’s being physically attacked by what he calls ‘Balaklava boys’, young men, mostly Muslim, dealing drugs and in other ways showing criminal tendencies, being intimidating. Smack dap in the very center of Manchester.

Anyone has the right to free speech in the UK without fear of being physically attacked. The open display of alcoholism, drug abuse, lewd behaviour, intimidation, physical violence, and more, is really distopian and a problem regardless of which side on the political spectrum you are. Although I disagree, I can see where some of the right wing ideas come from, and that’s sobering.

Anyway, I guess I should share a link here, this is from Saturday: https://youtu.be/9B34WgDI718

I have an x360 running bazzite with gnome and it runs great.

I’m on bazzite which I believe is like a sibling or derivative of bluefin. All based on atomic fedora. Atomic means the base system is immutable, which should help with stability. As mentioned elsewhere, for bleeding edge you use flatpak or distrobox. Its been a pleasure to use, I’m very happy.

I haven’t had it in a while, but I was obsessed with Lekker Bekkie Mango Chutney, from Surinam. Not exactly chilli sauce, as its more chunky, but so good. Very tasty, very spicy. I’ve been thinking about this for the past days, gonna get it tomorrow 😀

Lately we’ve been mostly making our own chili. We use chili de arbol seco. Nice because we can make it spicy to taste. I boil some water, put a couple tomatoes to take the skin off, add about 15 chili’s. Then transfer the chili’s and tomatoes to a food processor. Add a splash water, a small piece of onion, and a bit of salt, and process. Actually I put the onion after processing the tomatoes and chillies so the onion can be bit chunky. Its a simple recipe, but very good. Can add a clove of garlic optionally.

Last store bought we got were cholula and one from la morena, they’re not too bad, but I like it a bit spicier.

I think in NL its 1 year 100%, then 1 year 70%, after that I think the government takes over

In the Netherlands its like 2 years

That reads like Dutch to me. Perfect! I’ll be fine.
