Just please don't use one of the kid voices for technical videos, a la babywogue and their GNOME development videos.
Laughs in Colorado
That's a nice Imperial Valley agricultural industry you got there, it'd be a shame if we just dammed the Colorado at the Utah border.
Unless CA could convince OR/WA to give them more water, the inland states are critical for freshwater here.
Hell, I dealt with that all the way back in 2010/2011 with the Cliq XT. It was supposed to get Android 1.6, and Moto kept stringing everyone along until after Android 2.0 came out, when they quietly stopped saying an update would come. Worst part is, IIRC the Cliq (same exact phone hardware wise, except with a physical keyboard) received the promised update.
Ever since then, I've sworn off Moto aside from the Z2 Force which I managed to get new for like $250, and even that one became my rooted plaything until the charging port fried itself last year.
Moto, aside from the brief time they were part of Google, has always been awful about software updates, unfortunately.
My partner bought a study Bible for academic use a few months ago, and our roommate bought herself one (for actual worship use) a couple weeks ago?
Right now in summer: 67 overnight while we sleep (helps that we have tiered power pricing where late night power is almost half the price of it during the day), 72 when we're up, and 80 between 2 and 6pm when we have the most expensive power hours. Luckily we're in an apartment that's like three years old, so it's surprisingly well insulated and hasn't gotten above 73 during those hot hours.
We were late to the SMS game in the US as well, most European countries saw mass SMS adoption back in the late 90s and early 2000s, whereas it didn't catch on in the same way till about 2005 or 2006 here. I still remember the days of being limited to 400 texts a month, and having certain friends growing up who I couldn't text because their parents would not get a plan that had any buckets of them.
It's an early adopter problem, and it could be much worse (looking at you, Tildes, where I swear I was one of less than 10 users who were not either well compensated professionals (tech or otherwise), or in school at the time to become one, at least before the latest Reddit exodus. At least most of the Lemmy instances, while tech heavy, don't have the same smugness that a lot of nearly-exclusively highly compensated white collar worker spaces do. (Not that Tildes is unique in that space in the least, Hacker News is utterly insufferable, and the personalfinance and povertyfinance subreddit split arose for the same reasons)
Luckily I think Lemmy has more potential to get more early adopters who don't work with tech professionally, especially on an instance like Beehaw. I haven't felt like some kind of lower class interloper (as someone who is in lower level retail management for work) here, unlike many other super techy spaces.
Luckily for the few communities that I haven't found elsewhere yet, Relay is still working. I'm almost certainly not going to go for whatever subscription the developer ends up setting up (although I did buy Premium years back for it), so once that's live, I guess I'm out on my phone. I still can't believe how trash the official app is, and how it has moments of stutter even on my Pixel 7 Pro.
Sadly disc golf has always also had the super right wing Christian contingent too-- my SO's brother is a staunch Pentecostal and found disc golf through church camps growing up, and is friends with a guy who does DG professionally, who is also a hard right Christian type.
All of this is half the reason I don't pick my discs up anymore, even though I'm a short walk from a course. I'm not here for a sport that's getting a name for being full of right wing transphobes.
Another for the get a laser printer train, I got a Xerox color laser printer 8 years ago for a ridiculously good deal (like $130). I finally had to replace the original toner last year, and it took my off brand cartridges just fine at a cost of like $50 for the full set of four. Came with Linux drivers even! Having color is nice too, means I don't have to think about using another printer. We keep my boyfriend's inkjet printer around solely for scanning things at this point.
and yet the opportunity to have the crab go 'yeeclaw' was missed. I seem to remember seeing a cross stitch of a crab in a cowboy hat saying that before, but still;
I'm just all sorts of wound up--my boyfriend and I are moving in together at a new place on Friday, and I'm just itching to get this process started. Moving sucks as we all know, and I swear I'm just tired of it.
To top it off I'm having to cover for my boss at work until I leave for my move, since they pulled him to another location to help install new equipment that we were a test location for, so work is a chaotic nightmare on top of packing all my stuff up.
Luckily I had enough PTO saved up to take off a full week to do this, so I don't have to panic about getting it all done in one or two days like I have in the past.
It's ironic that the anarchist devs created a centralized aggregator in Postmill, while the tankie devs who initially made Lemmy, made it a part of the fediverse. I'd honestly expect it to go the other way around.
Most home processing methods like boiling, cooking, and frying potatoes have been shown to have minimal effects on solanine levels. For example, boiling potatoes reduces the α-chaconine and α-solanine levels by only 3.5% and 1.2% respectively, but microwaving potatoes reduces the alkaloid content by 15%. Deep frying at 150 °C (302 °F) also does not result in any measurable change.
They're no more toxic than cooked potatoes, unless you only eat microwaved ones.
No, never. AFAIK they aren't toxic, just that the starch is poorly digested. Either way, I've never gotten sick from it, so 🤷
It's odd because I have had digestive issues off and on through the years, but the potatoes have never precipitated it. (It's mostly anything spicy, which sucks as I love spicy food-- it's a price I pay willingly sometimes)
I love eating a raw potato like an apple, for whatever reason. Any time I'm cooking a dish with potatoes, I'll wash and peel one for me to eat. My boyfriend looked like I had grown a third arm the first time he saw me do it.
It's the perfect mix of crunchy and juicy, but not sweet.
