@pschwede Depends, not in its own right. But in the case og isopsephy and gematria its not just about adding pretty numbers. The numbers have deep narrative specific meanings.
@pschwede It isnt just asthetics, it tells an actual narrative one that is differen t and sometimes even contradictory to the one written with words. Each number had an actual meaning much like words have meanings. Which is why its just not an aesthetic but an actually modification to the apparent storyline to give a completely different narrative.
@pschwede Well the entire message seems to change so I'd say a whole hell of a lot
@TheGnuMaster Sure can.. The rice itself yu boil crushed almonds, crushed walnuts and crushed pecans, with white rice and quinoa in a 1:4 mixture with the rice.
Strain it and set aside about 3 minutes befre its done, should be very slightly on the firm side (will soften later.
Then in a wok combine oil (sesame is most common) some onions, some diced bacon/fatty pork, a bell pepper, and whatever other meats or veggies you want (peas, bean sprouts, diced carrots, all common choices).
Make sure the onions get a nice brown carmalized color (might need to add them earlier).
Then add some spices: Tumeric, Hot Curry, Vetsin/MSG, **no** salt, dash of basil, crushed garlic (not too much), black pepper, hot pepper to taste.
After a minute toss in rice and mix in with the oil and meat till it picks up some of the color. Add a very generous portion of soy sauce (for a large portion I sometimes use up most of a bottle). I like mixing 75% chinese soysause and 25% indian soy sause.
Then fry and mix the rice and ingredients for a bt more. Usually about 15 minutes. Do it on high heat and mix often. You are trying to cook off a lot of the water from the soy and the rice. You want to cook about 5 minutes past tere being no more water at the bottom. The rice should be a dark brown by this point. All done.
This is a big part of why 4 is one of the most fundamental sacred number in most religions. The people who wrote the holy books were the mathematicians of the era. Though most religious people never study isopsephy or gematria so they are generally clueless of just how much math went into every word.
@mikelga Just for further clarity I took a picture of several of my notebooks in different formats. From top to bottom they are A4+, A4, B5, A5
@mikelga I really appreciate you saying that. I cant help but feel I have a lot of practice though.
@mundauf Yea a humidity protectant atleast. But should be fine for a while
@mundauf Well still nice. I like wood
@mikelga To be fair my writing used to be pretty horrible. Even now it looks sloppy IMO. I'm not designed for art, which for me is why its so important that I learn
@mundauf Nice woodworking joints!
@Gargron Pretty sure anything you say a lot of people wont care about. Its just life. I dont think anyone will be set back by a few posts in their feed they are indifferent about.
Maybe use hash tags so they can filter it if you really want?
@mikelga Yea thats A6, each number is half the previous. The B series is half way between A series too.
@mundauf I can barely fit my text in an A5 :) Share pics?
@Gargron Howdy, hope you're doing well.
@Optionparty Thanks, I agree and tha was my motivation. Technically #2 is the proper form though.
