  • I think he's using it as an arrow. Like "are you using X? ➡️ Use Y instead"

  • Does any language have a word for mixing a beverage by pouring from one vessel into another?
  • Interesting! Would this be similar to how you might temper a raw egg mixture into a warm soup or somesuch?

  • Does any language have a word for mixing a beverage by pouring from one vessel into another?

    I don't mean something like "pour" or "mix" in the English language. The word should capture the idea of pouring from one vessel into another with the goal of going from a semi-heterogenous solution to a mostly-homogeneous solution.

    I commonly do this to mix my cocktails. I'm not sure why, but it just seems quicker/easier than either shaking or stirring.

    Thanks in advance! Just trying to figure out if it already exists before looking into making up a word for it!

  • What's with all the tech layoffs?
  • I read it as an allusion to the price of everything going up. But yes, eggs.

  • A+ customer
  • This is such a toughie for me. In fancy joints, they might take it as a point of frustration on your part: "ugh, this service is slow to clear the table; get this mess away from me *stacks plates*". Or, even worse, that you're doing their job for them.

    But in a place like Waffle House, I'll do it.

  • You are my sunshine
  • Really?

    The first verse:

    The other night, dear

    As I lay sleeping

    I dreamt I held you in my arms

    But when I woke, dear

    I was mistaken

    So I hung my head and I cried

    I always took it to mean the person is mourning the loss of a loved one and they dreamed they were still alive.

    Also, I once heard that this song was about a horse named Sunshine. 🤷‍♂️

  • It's happening here in southern Louisiana. My insurance premium has been steadily increasing for the last 3-5 years.

    Also, we're going through a drought which is causing a saltwater intrusion into our wetlands and wildfires in the marshes.

  • What item did you "buy for life?"
  • If you ever make it out to Pigeon Forge Tennessee, hit up the Lodge Factory. They have a store there that they sell all of their rejected cast irons for a pittance. Most of the rejects only have minor imperfections.

  • What item did you "buy for life?"
  • Pretty much the same story for me. I'm creeping up on my 40s. Mine has lasted me through highschool and college. I still use it as my daypack on family vacations and to haul my DnD stuff.

  • It's true.
  • I quite like my Honda Accord.

  • What is the most "Thankless" job?
  • I'd say so. My wife has a degree in culinary. She's used it to work her way up the hospitality industry and is now a regional GM over a few hotels in our area.

  • programmers naming things
  • I get all of the associations, butt strings?

  • What do you call a man with a spade on his head?
  • He should meet my gas station attendant: Phillip.

  • Slashdot -> Fark -> Digg -> Reddit -> Lemmy
  • Are you saying there's other reddit-like/inspired webservices that are part of the fediverse that aren't Lemmy? What are those?

  • Today I learned @lemmy.ml sillypuddy @mander.xyz
    TIL how to fetch communities from other instances so that I can subscribe from my own instance.

    mander.xyz is a pretty small instance devoted to science and nature communities. It's relatively tiny compared to lemmy.ml and beehaw.org. In order for a community to appear in the smaller instance's community list it must first be "fetched". To do this, you have to enter the full url for the community you want to fetch into the community search bar.

    So for example, I was trying to find !nfl@lemmy.ml and it just wasn't coming up in the mander.xyz community list. I tried entering "nfl", "!nfl@lemmy.ml" into the search bar. I even navigated to https://mander.xyz/c/nfl@lemmy.ml which was giving me a 404 at the time but is now working after the fetch.

    So if you're on a smaller instance and aren't seeing communities from larger instances, try entering the url of the community as it would be hosted from the larger instance. Hit enter to do a fetch, then try typing the name of the community again to execute the search.

    PS: I had to do the same trick again on mander.xyz to find this community.
