Truth

Personally, I just that the economy was so good that fast food and other food outlets sold healthy food at cheap or affordable prices so that I never have to worry about it.

But capitalism sucks.

Google is always listening???

Don't know about Google home, but google meet is definitely like this. You mute your mic from the UI, you speak, and a small popup tells you something like, "are you trying to speak, your mic is off".

Something like this also happened on Short Circuit (a channel of Linus Tech Tips) when testing Meta Glasses. Riley, the host was talking to it, and after the convo ended, he asked, "are you still listening?" And meta replied, "No".

So, yes, it is safe to assume that the microphones are always listening and probably recording. These things are spywares and do not belong in private places like homes.

Redirect YouTube to Piped

There is an extension called LibRedirect that does this. It's customisable, as in, we can set if we want to redirect to piped or invidious, and which specific instances to use. Not only just YouTube but other services like GitHub to Gothub, Twitter to Nitter, reddit to libreddit etc. The default settings are already great.

Edit - added the link.

What foods can last 3-4 days without refrigeration?

Cup noodles can be made with cold water too. But they will take about 30 mins instead of 2-3 minutes. Tried and tested. They still taste good. They are not very nutritious, though.

I would recommended making Energy Bars/Balls. You can find a lot of recipes online but here's mine:

  • Roasted almonds
  • Roasted cashews
  • Roasted pistachios
  • Roasted hazelnuts
  • Roasted walnuts
  • Raisins
  • Dates
  • Dried Cranberries
  • Peanut Butter (unsweetened) (mine contains coconut oil)
  • Sesame seeds
  • Muskmelon seeds
  • Flax seeds
  • Pumpkin seeds
  • Dark Chocolate
  1. Roast the nuts and grind almonds and walnuts to almost flour consistency, and grind the others coarsly.
  2. Just put everything in a food processor and let it mix everything. You can also mix it with hand or spoon.
  3. To make bars, just put the mixture in a baking dish or a tray and put as much pressure as you can on top of it with your hands or spoon to remove all the air pockets. Refrigerate it for 4 hours. Then cut it into bars.
  4. To make balls, just lightly oil your hands and form a ball shape. Again, press them hard to remove the air pockets.

These can last over a week outside the refrigerator (considering the ambient temperature in your area does not rise above 30° C). And inside the refrigerator they can last for over a month.

You can add different types of seeds, nuts, sweeteners etc, depending on what you like, what your body needs and what's available.

Hope this helps.
