Fucking youtube, I click on one or two wrong videos and suddenly its hater content again. “Why women ruined women by women” narrated by AI.
I actively go thru my watch history and purge things I think will negatively impact my algo.
I find the amount of hate on YT very disturbing. it takes a huge effort to watch only positive videos.
Questions: If I wanted to post a video I’ve made but it won’t upload because it says “image too large” What does that mean? Is it my phone or lemmy? Is it too high resolution? How do I fix it. It’s 24 seconds long. I have a Samsung A21s. So many questions. Not important. Just adding to my list of tech achievements.
Too big for Lemmy.
The video I uploaded was 30s long and 19mb
You’re probably better off throwing it on a 3rd party site like YouTube and linking us to there given I couldn’t load it on my phone app and also size of things might be too much for the server if we do it a lot.
I made a 4 second one after my post and the link came up like yours but it wouldn’t play. I’m gonna look at my apps and see if there’s a player there. Brb.
Oh crap.
They’re closing down Rivers in April.
Just heard on the radio.
:(
Oh no, I didn’t really shop there but they had one in my very rural town I grew up in.
It’s a shame, I suppose Kmart was too competitive at the budget price-point.
What about the fishermen?
That’s a weird angle® you have there. I get a sinking feeling that line is on the hook.
No fish for fisherman so they’re gone too.
No more kippers for us as well.
🥲
Waaaaahh! Where will I get shoes now?
I’ve hated everything I’ve ever gotten there. I wonder if it’s related to Catch closing in April.
Bother there goes my default shoe location
The sickness has been the worst today so far. Big headache, slept on the couch after getting up and it was 10:30 before I knew it
2 months after creating a kids account so my daughter can listen to Taylor Swift non-stop. My YouTube music algorithm is finally producing songs that I like, not neverending Taylor Swift.
Get her into Tate McRae, there’s some overlap
Good night everyone. ❤️
Today was a gloriously gross indulgent write-off (terrible for me eyes and body), but at least I did manage to make dinner and deal with the Doom Pile of Dishes. I tried eating rice with a fork to be silly and still found it incomprehensible so I googled “why do white people eat rice with a fork”. Apparently because it is just a starch to eat with other dry things you need a fork for: it is like a crumbly potato. Cool. Well, I’m still going to stick with a spoon anyway…
why do white people eat rice with a fork
Spork.
You got Doom running on a pile of dishes? Show me how sensei.
Because I’m silly - how do you eat rice properly with chopsticks? I can use them and pick things up okay but doesn’t drier and crumbly rice fall, or even if you get a clump isn’t it hard to pick up more than a little bit?
I’m guessing sticky short grain rice is easier, or when it’s mixed in with sauce and other food to bind it.
To eat rice with chopsticks it needs to have been cooked to be eaten with chopsticks IMO. It’s more sticky and you gently grab a clump, place the clump in your mouth, then go for the main dish, then chew (or chew/swallow the rice bite first). Eating wet or dry single grains of rice with chopsticks sticks is not fun.
For ref at home we typically just use a spoon, and it has been ages since we’ve cooked rice to use chopsticks with but IIRC it’s always jasmine rice absorption method or sushi rich when we’ve bothered to eat rice using chopsticks at home. Don’t quote me on any of that though.
You use the chopsticks differently for rice. Think “shovel”
I use a fork at home and don’t understand why it’s an issue. Italians and Spaniards eat rice with a fork.
It’s not easy with chopsticks.
Quite honestly if I’m faced with it I either get a spoon or if lacking I have to hold the bowl up to my mouth and sweep it in with the chopsticks.
Most cultures that use long grained rice don’t use chopsticks, it’s either using their hands directly or a spoon (both are how I grew up eating rice and I dare say much of South and southeast asia). Ironically with sticky rice it’s harder with sauce as it tends to un-bind the rice.
Marge, I think you left the tap on
It done come out of nowhere too. Garden is loving it.
And already gone. That’s a dump
Today’s vintage vinyl LP is Voices of the South , the Wagner Chorale. An album of some spirituals and some folk. It’s all a cappella
it’s an interesting and good album

Has anyone epoxied carbon fibre cloth onto something?
I have a heat shield that I failed to paint properly and now I’m thinking that I might do the above instead.
Only problem is I need such a small piece of cloth. Not worth buying a whole lot.
No, but you can be the first
yes but a very long time ago
you need to prep it very well, clean the surface then sand it, otherwise it will delaminate off, especially if there is heat involved
brush on a coat of epoxy first, let dry to tacky, sand a little, put on the cloth, paint the cloth with epoxy, let dry to tacky, put on another coat or two
I hear rumbling. I’m not sure if it’s from the cricket I’m watching or there’s actually some thunder or something near me.
The woollies homebrand peas are really dreadful.
No matter how I cook them or for how long theyre hard and starchy.
It’s so dreadful, thank god I managed to get peas from Aldi. I didn’t notice the Aldi peas being like that but I’ll find out in the next few days if I was just imagining it.
Aldi frozen stuff is usually solid in quality. I think most of it is packed in Europe, so that might be why.
Yeah. I normally get most of my frozen veg from Aldi now, seemed to be better in quality.
Their frozen green beans are shit. A lot of stalks in there. They might’ve changed now. It’s been years since I bought them from there.
Probably left a bit long before harvest?
You could treat them like the starchy marrowfat peas. Have some mushy peas with a pie or fish and chips
I’m almost done with the pack so I’ll be rid of them soon.
Just had enough after 3kg of them.

The sleep meds didn’t really work too well. A few nights ago they kicked in but last night was a bit of a fizzer. I managed to doze a bit though.

I need an update of why the undies were in the blender please @Catfish@aussie.zone.
Catfish@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Literally packing. Any empty space in a breakable thing gets stuffed with something soft. This was just an entertaining combination.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Hahaha. I would’ve thought of 100 different things other than stuffing undies in there but the job got done and that’s all that matters.
