Variant on your dish: bake sweet potato, add cottage cheese and eat immediately. Add sweet or savory seasonings to taste. It’s not something I’d bring to share, but it’s definitely not something I’ll hide. As far as quick and dirty meals, it’s reasonably healthy, and probably not the worst suggestion for someone who struggles to cook for themselves.
Actual goblin food: canned black olives between two slices of bread, smush down to prevent them from rolling out.
I hope you can find another bread product that’s perfect for bushy eyebrows.
Ooh and maybe tiny bagels for eyes. That might be too silly or too small
Too many. I wish Lemmy had post tags, it would make things easier. There are communities I would be interested in, if I had any tools to help see the things I care about.
I’m left with more politics than I’d like, but that’s still preferable to anything I block.
Broadly speaking:
Memes Anime, mostly due to all the anime girl communities Sports Foreign language communities if I really can’t read anything, or I’m seeing too many posts in a row from them Communities that aren’t for memes but that are overrun with them. Sometimes if this is driven by a particular user I might block them instead Communities with porn in the name
There are good sauces you can make from canned tomatoes in 20 minutes (depending on your prep speed).
My go tos are Putanesca & Vodka sauce, but there’s a lot more you can do. Mark Bittman’s How to Cook Everything has a simple recipe and then a big list of variants, most of which can be done in 20 minutes.
Or worse: it’s in telephone mode now, so obviously you only want the sound from the “call” because there’s no other reasons the microphone could be on.
A solid chunk of Philip K Dick’s output worked better as movies/TV than as books.
There’s definitely something there, but the books feel somewhat unfinished/unpolished. Which makes sense, his books weren’t popular in English until after the release of Blade Runner, which coincided with his death. Maybe the popularity of the movie would’ve given him more time and resources to revise future works.
A Scanner Darkly is the only one where both the book and the movie felt about the same quality.
The decision to use Adobe suite is more likely to be a company wide decision. Part of Adobe suite lock-in is also familiarity making things faster. By promoting others, that may help future generations avoid at least part of the problem.
Google services may be much more piecemeal. Even if the boss personally happens to think there’s a productivity benefit to using a given search engine, it would be unusual to block others.
Practicing what you preach is sometimes important, but I’m not sure how much it bears on these issues. A single company eschewing either won’t make a difference. Getting the public to slowly consider alternatives may.
I think that’s part of the point. It’s someone’s job to make the original comic.
Removing the titular protagonist should ruin a work. Removing them here does absolutely nothing. It makes no more or less sense, despite losing a core component. One would hope a comic in widespread syndication would fare better.
At least with memes when they’re inevitably bad, it’s probably someone fucking around, not a paid professional.
There may be an earlier version, but I know this as an old Emo Phillips joke
I’ve run into it when interacting with folks who grew up in the south. It seems moderately common there. With folks who grew up in the northeast, I haven’t seen this be a thing.
Yes! The Name of the Rose and Foucault’s Pendulum were both great. If you’ve read more of his work and have a recommendation for where to go next I’d love to hear it.
On the topic of Italian authors, I loved Italo Calvino’s “If on a winter’s night a traveler” as well. I didn’t really expect it to pay off as a cohesive work. I was mostly along for the ride and was pleasantly surprised.
Cheerios and Bugles (each separately). Nothing in either item should make them smell like death. But every flavor of either I’ve encountered always has. They’re not even the same kind of grain.
I’ll eat most ingredients in a wide variety of contexts. It’s pretty rare that I’ll find something that I don’t like, and can’t eventually find a way to like.
I’m not expecting them to be amazing, but them being substantially worse than bland and boring is still a surprise.
It’s a good feature, and probably makes sense to default to on. But I know I’ll find it more distracting than useful, so I’ll turn it off.
Large tooltips on mouseover are usually distracting. Facicons, text, and additional windows do enough to remind me what my tabs are.
New features often aren’t helpful to each and every user, but as long as I can turn off the ones that are actively unhelpful to me, I’m perfectly happy to see them.
Microwaves still cook from the outside in, but yes, mostly only excite water.
I believe this came up in another ATK thing, but can’t track it down at the moment.
I thought I understood your comment until I got to the emoji. I’m not sure if they work terribly well
Yes. But it’s a duel, so they’re just trying to stay behind one person.
You’re not allowed to stop, so you try and creep forward really slowly by doing bike stands until the last lap.
I dunno exactly what sandbagging looks like in Mario Cart, but I kind of doubt it looks this silly.
It does, but for a real world parallel see bike sprints.
For me it also happens constantly with things like the crossword, which obviously can’t be listening.
Links between folks is part of it, but a lot is just ordinary coincidence.
Maybe English (Malta) if that’s an option
Yeah, a few seconds with a fork, and toasting the bread or swapping to crackers and you’re basically at something that’s fit to give to others again.
