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

It’s somewhat bizarre to me that the settings menu isn’t just a reskinned control panel that either launches the new or old items depending on what they’ve finished so far.
I can’t imagine what they’ve done is easier than rewriting control panel items in full one by one.
You can do a halfway decent job of modernizing just by having an “advanced” toggle that shows the more arcane/less used settings.
I understand the desire to race towards a minimum viable product and get the core functionality into the glossy new thing, but they already had a minimum viable product in the control panel.
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
Even for non-niche interests, it was nice to have at least some spaces where memes were against the rules.
Here that’s quite rare. It ends up being much more politics heavy, and still with more memes than I’d care to see even with heavy blocking of communities.
Support for tags would help. Or an option to auto collapse comments with inline images.
They also get more bitter the longer they’re cooked. Even with the new variety, I suspect boiling Brussels sprouts might be off the table. Higher temps, or raw (shredded and put in a salad) may get you results you actually like.
Roasting at 230C (450F) for up to about 20 minutes should be good. You may be able to go as high as 260C (500F). If they look slightly burnt when they come out, that’s good. The bitter flavors that develop from burning are related to sugars, so brussel sprouts are largely immune.
I didn’t have brussel sprouts I liked until the 2010s, but now they’re one of my favorites.
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.
Hot take means something else here. In common usage usually only the first half applies, that is, “piece of deliberately provocative commentary”
It’s a motorized wheelchair that takes up twice the space and is way more expensive to build.
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.
As a kid I had heard Got my Mind Set on you by George Harrison on the radio once or twice.
A few years later when I was starting to listen to music for myself I heard the Weird Al parody, and wanted to track down the original. I didn’t remember any lyrics to the original so the best I could do was accost people with a very poorly sung chorus of “this song is just six words long.”
It didn’t go well. I didn’t find the original until the Internet had caught up enough for me to find it easily.
I had a similar arc with Downtown by Petula Clark. Thankfully without me trying to sing a parody chorus at anyone.
You may have missed the point of the example. It asks about steering wheels, and immediately transitions to vehicles that don’t have steering wheels.
That could explain the difference in experiences. I filter out those communities as best I can given the tools available.
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.
Per capita probably isn’t a good way to measure this.
Car deaths should probably be by miles driven.
IIRC, the Pope is only considered infallible when they say they are. Otherwise they’re just speaking as the highest ranking member. So most of the time what they say is not treated by members of the clergy as the literal word of god.
Maybe other Catholics are more in the know, but this isn’t a distinction I was aware of when I was a practicing Catholic. That might be because the Pope really didn’t come up much at all. I’m sure he influenced policy, but his words seemed to come up in the news, and not really much outside that.
It took me like half the movie to understand the pidgin for New Hawaii.
The book doesn’t jump around. Each story is like a book opened to the halfway point, with another book inserted. They’re all nested like this down to New Hawaii, which plays through straight, before finishing each story in turn.
I love ambitious (if somewhat failed) movies like this, and I’m not really sure if the Wachowskis could have done a better job.
When poorly written or complex, maybe. I don’t know how often I’ve had to focus on a headline.
Headlines are also written to be attention grabbing. I’d rather headline-specific grammar over clickbait. Maybe there’s a different attention grabbing technique, but for now I’ll gladly settle for headlines if given a choice.
I usually rinse them. The spines relax enough when wet.
Alternatively there’s the golden kiwis which have skin that remind me of pears, just thicker. They don’t have spines. I’d still to prefer to rinse them, but more because you should rinse fruits and veggies if you’re going to eat the skin.
