They’re just The Chicks now. They were uncomfortable with the racist implications and confederate associations with the word Dixie.

Ooh, that makes more sense. Auto correct is getting shittier by the day. I’ve got a new conspiracy theory that it’s a push to get us to use voice to text more, to help train our robot replacements.

Dearth means “a striking lack of,” as in “dearth of evidence.” (No evidence)

Yeah, I’m from the US and I have a passport and no idea where my dad was born.

It’s not too late, you can adopt adults.

What about chopped up string cheese?

Yes, traditional Irish stew is just thickened by stewing rough cut potatoes to release some of their starches into the broth. So with mashed potatoes, I think it will be a little bit grittier since the fiber will be incorporated as well as the starch.

It might be a good idea to add spoonfuls of mashed potatoes to the simmering chunked potatoes as they cook until you get the consistency you want.

So the potatoes are already mashed? Usually they would be in chunks for the stew… so I would say, cut up some potatoes and simmer them in beef both (to catch up with the rest of the veg in the pie… the pie is cooked already, yes?)

Then just scoop the pie into the broth and ignore the part where the meat is minced instead of chunked.

The mashed potatoes will make it a bit thicker than a traditional Irish stew, but you can leave some out if you want to.

Are you asking about recipes or do you already have the cottage pie?

And plastic champagne glasses. And those l little headbands with the year on top.

Pretty limited compared to Xmas though.

Had a chrome book that worked just fine but unbeknownst to me had an expiration date that started counting down at its date of manufacture, not the date of purchase.

The thing worked great, but no more security updates after 3 years.

I see he’s going with a laminated brow these days. Nice.

The hardware store here has a big sign up about this every winter, explaining why, if you think need this you are wrong, if you ask for one we will not give you one, if you make one yourself you will probably die.

You mentioned in a comment that you have another account. So you aren’t new here, your account is. Not sure why you’re pretending to be new? This is what gives people trust issues.

Also- your comment history isn’t hard to check. No one has said anything to you about being new… unless you’re talking about another new account you have?

See for example, @nehare@lemmy.world. Account is four hours old, 52 articles posted, zero comments/engagement with the community. Will probably be gone by tomorrow.

Just the other day a bot showed up (galacticWaffle) that was making long, engaging comments on pretty much every post on .World. No one would have known it was a bot if it hadn’t been posting an impossible number of comments per minute. A lot of us engaged with it until people started following it around calling it out. Felt bad man.

I think people just need to know that you are a person before they trust you as a new neighbor. The norm lately is for brand new accounts not to be.

Edit: ten hours later, @nehare has been deleted.

I take one of two routes for an evening walk almost every day. It’s never occurred to me to listen to music or anything else while I do.

I live in a rural area with nice scenery. If you pay attention, it is different every day. Something new is starting to grow/bloom/die back, new birds have arrived or departed, the clouds are different, the air feels different, neighbors sheep are being silly in a different way.

I go specifically at sunset, so I find that very stimulating and no two sunsets are the same. I think about my day, my plans, goals, etc. It’s peaceful.

He wrote a book in the 60s that kind of suggested it was a possibility, but then walked it back within a few years and criticized people who latched on to it.

Intelligent Life in the Universe is the book.

But he also shits himself regularly. Many people are saying it. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Depends on who is doing the farting.
