Does it also suppress inline images from others? Because that sounds real nice

The cards were definitely being called chip and PIN as they were being introduced.

I don’t recall the PIN ever being used outside of debit cards (which already used PINs in certain contexts).

Occasionally gas pumps will ask for the postal code of the billing address, but that’s about as close as we get.

If I’m remembering right, transportation of a food item makes up no more than 2% of the total carbon emissions for that food item.

Eating local produce can have a big impact on the quality and freshness of food, but has comparatively small environmental impacts. It won’t make beef greener than beans, no matter where you choose to get each from.

The wooden deck is a weird element to bring into it. In the US decks are sometimes there for conservancy reasons. They’re present along parts of the Appalachian trail.

I might instead draw the line based on whether members of your party are putting it up and taking it down as part of the trip.

But I could also see electricity being a reasonable dividing line. Like a cabin several miles from where you can get a motorized vehicle might be more camping than a tent in your backyard that you ran an extension cord and a TV out to.

I’m ok with others drawing lines elsewhere though.

I can’t really visualize things in general. Due to that, if you tell me it’s muddy that’s most of the information I get. My brain won’t automatically try to put mud on the horses or add other details.

Here the specifics help a lot and I have a better sense of the muddy day for it.

You’ll love TV advertising schedules. You can buy slots all the way up through 29:59:59

Or just start ordinals with 0th for years 0-99

It’s not simply a reading comprehension thing with bullet points. If your questions require research on my end having them already structured in bullets does a few things to help with that process.

The asker’s bullet structure gives something to mimic. You can even put your answers directly below the question, so the asker can be reminded of their own questions.

The bullets also help skimming, if I need to see which item id is needed next it’s easier to do so without losing my place.

Bullet grammar structure also allows for much terser sentences. If I need to reread your question it’s easier if I don’t have to ignore a bunch of words that don’t substantively alter the meaning.

Do I need any of these? No. Could I put the questions into bullets myself for the reply? Sure. But it’s easier to spend more time and effort on answering your questions if you save me a few steps.

Rubbery texture sounds like it could be solved by different cooking techniques. Small changes to how eggs are cooked can make a lot of different textures.

You can also stitch them with ffmpeg if a CLI is more your speed

Go to a local music shop and look for musician’s earplugs with a rated dB reduction. At least -8dB, but a bigger reduction won’t make your experience worse, it’ll just make things even quieter.

I have some from a major guitar manufacturer that I’ve been using at the infrequent shows I go to for a decade. They were $10 then, and it looks like that’s still true. I clean after using, but I wasn’t really expecting to get this many shows out of them.

They don’t muffle sounds, it just sounds quieter. Without earplugs I need to stand on the other side of the room/field to be comfortable. I’ll still leave with ear pain and feeling exhausted. With earplugs I’m comfortable right in front of the speaker stack, and leave feeling exhilarated.

They’ve been a huge upgrade in my enjoyment of shows and I’m very grateful to my friend for dragging me to the shop and making me buy them.

There was also a fad to spam links to communities, some of them made up. Entire chains of comments would just be nonsense. A crackdown on that would make sense.

Here it’s not really an issue. There I’d usually consider a link to a community without additional text to be spam.

Immigrant/emigrant sound too similar to be generally usable. Lawless and lazy probably aren’t the culprit here.

6 instances, 1087 communities, 27 users.

I should probably look at unblocking the instances. I used those blocks early on to remove a massive number of communities I was uninterested in, but it has the side effect of also functionally blocking those users.

I do wish there were better tagging and filtering tools. Some of the communities I’ve blocked might have posts I’m interested in, but there’s currently no way to surface those from under the mountain of memes.

I’d also love to be able to block posts but not comments from specific users. There’s a handful of topics I don’t care about, and some of the blocked users are just very interested in those topics.

And auto collapse comments with inline images (although that’s more of an app feature than a Lemmy feature).

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.

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.

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.
