(English is my second language, sorry for anonymous. I don't want to be made fun of)

I have friend who studying bees, she says beekeeping in US for honey is bad for US bees, but post you reblog says it is good?

I asked my friend to give some research to do with bees that is not too difficult to read, here is what she sent.

https://www.nwf.org/Home/Magazines/National-Wildlife/2021/June-July/Gardening/Honey-Bees

I like your blog, but why share things that are lies?

the post says "European Honeybee: Introduced from Eurasia. Massively important insect for agricultural pollination. Can compete with native pollinators but does not usually out compete them."

unsure what part of that is a lie. or that its saying beekeeping is "good"

Hi there, I’m just popping in to say that I really loved “Like Salt in the Sea”, and I looked forward to each update!

I was wondering though, if you would write some oneshots about Kaydel and Dopheld?

I’d love to see how they became more than friends!!

Either way, please keep writing!!!

Thank you so so much!! I do intend to add to the Salt-verse with one shots, but I am finishing a mythology AU right now and outlining plot for another long canonverse story. Unfortunately, I can't really work on multiple projects at the same time.

And if anyone wants to write their own one-shot versions of events or couples in theSalt-verse, I would love it and would happily link it to the story. Again, thank you so much!!!

It's mostly synthesized in a lab. I mean, it's still dumb to point out it's from a plant source (caffeine is caffeine) but I suppose that won't stop some people from caring.

hate capitalism and its perpetual use of buzzwords just saw an ad for lemonade with "plant-based caffeine" like where the fuck else would you get caffeine if not from a plant

as a european who's tired of the jokes about our bland food I've never felt so vindicated as to read this. https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/03/26/394339284/how-snobbery-helped-take-the-spice-out-of-european-cooking

we are capable of using spices, and have done since the dawn of time

we used a similar veriety of spices to India until around the 1600s

the reason we didn't use spices in abundance after that point was because of the nobility throwing a tantrem and making their food bland because spices weren't a status symbol anymore.

it was not, in fact, a collective choice made by the majority of european people like Tumblr likes to pretend with these matters. but once again the result of rich assholes throwing a tantrum because they didn't have sole access to a thing and ruining things for everyone else.

the fact it's the French and not the British that are responsible for this atrocity makes me doubly relieved, that's one less crime against humanity at the hands of the Island I had little choice to be born on

Prompt #10: Immediate Family Dining Style

My family used to have traditional dinning besides lunch. Breakfast and dinner were at the table, and we ate the same foods as a family which consisted of me, my brother and sister, mom, and dad. Lunch became a free for all when my brother and I were old enough to prepare our own meals. However, now is a very untraditional method of dining due to busy schedules that vary from each other. We went from family style dining, where we sat around one dining table together and saying grace before meals to a very individualized meal times (Griffin, 2016). In our home now it is just my sister, dad, and I and my sister typically requires a slight variation of meals, and my dad and I eat the same time, however, it might be at different times. We also eat our meals at foldable/portable tables instead of one big round one. As my siblings and I grew older changes started happening during meal times and life as it should be. My dad and I also switch off cooking, depending on work schedule that day. I do miss the family dining, but then it makes the holidays so much more special when everyone, including distant family, is seated around a big table in togetherness.

Unique Salt per User using Flask-Security

After reading here a bit about salting passwords, it seems that it's best to use a unique salt for each user. I'm working on implementing Flask-Security atm, and from the documentation it appears you can only set a global salt: ie SECURITY_PASSWORD_SALT = 'thesalt'

Question: How would one go about making a unique salt for each password?

Thanks!

edit: from the docs on Flask-Security, I found this, which seems to again suggest that this module only uses a single salt for all passwords out of the box.

flask_security.utils.get_hmac(password) Returns a Base64 encoded HMAC+SHA512 of the password signed with the salt specified by SECURITY_PASSWORD_SALT.
