I’ve never heard of an open sandwich, but then again English isn’t my mother tongue. To me, a sandwich has always been food between two slices of bread.
- Comment on Zwei Mettbrötchen bitte! 18 hours ago:
Shouldn’t a sandwich have two halves of bread? There’s only one here. Canapés and Hors d’œvre are usually small, aren’t they? A Mettbrötchen takes several bites to eat and is usually eaten as a meal, not as a starter.

The term derives from the […] Latin word privus or perhaps privo that meant […] an individual without an office.

Don’t they get their taste back when they reach room temperature again?

I hadn’t considered bureaucratic obstacles… that sucks.

Well, I commented that before I learned that OP is in New Mexico.

I take it the most pressing issue right now is cooling. If that is right, you might have yet another avenue to explore: Ask facilities with cooling needs if you can store one or two pallets there. I’m thinking schools, (yet again) restaurants, ice cream parlors, ice skating rinks (not sure how they work exactly – is the whole building cooled or just the rink itself?), butchers. You could ask an outdoor gear shop (I mean a place where skis and winter jackets etc. are sold) if they know of a place where one can test jackets. They might know a cool place, too.

extra produce for free and they in turn have to prepare so many meals for unhoused and our volunteers and they refused
Nitpick: If you’re demanding that they do something in return, it’s not free.
In this case your two options are: A) Someone gets the food and puts it to use; B) it spoils. In this scenario I believe giving it away, no strings attached, might be the better option.

I take it “nm” stands for New Mexico. What’s the weather like there? Sun-drying might be an option, at least dried tomatoes are something people buy.

For the watermelons you might try to contact a local vintner. They may be able to process them into wine and/or liquor.

If you’re willing to go there, you might post on local facebook groups.

You might try contacting restaurants and see if they have the capacity to cook ketchup (or something else with a longer shelf life) from the tomatoes. Technically, everybody can do that. I’m thinking of restaurants because of their bigger pots.
Speaking of restaurants: They might have a food dehydrator that can process some of the cauliflower, as well.

Also: Where is this? It’s a small world, some Lemming might pick up a cauliflower or two.

If I were in that situation, I would try quickly whipping up some homemade posters and put them at our market square, maybe in front of schools, and in front of grocery stores. I would make sure to specify why these are given away, otherwise people might be suspicious.
That would probably illegal, but …well… who’s going to sue a food bank over hanging a few posters for 2 days?
- Comment on Why do low framerates *feel* so much worse on modern video games? 1 week ago:
The TV might refresh the screen 60 times per second (or actually refresh half the screen 60 times per second, or actually 50 times per second in Europe), but that’s irrelevant if the game only throws 20 new frames per second at the TV. The effective refresh rate will still be 20Hz.
That’s just a possible explanation. I don’t know what the refresh rate of Majora’s Mask was.

I was taught that. I learned driving in Germany, though.
- Comment on my phone turning my headphone volume one notch from silent halfway through a song then telling me off for turning it back up 1 week ago:
I like this warning. Many young people already suffer from hearing loss due to excessive volume. But I cannot understand why they don’t measure how loud the song actually is right now. I have many songs in my library that just are not mixed as loud, or start quietly and then ramp up. Why do I get the ‘your music is too loud’ message for those?
- Comment on my phone turning my headphone volume one notch from silent halfway through a song then telling me off for turning it back up 1 week ago:
On my old-ass Samsung, you cannot turn down the volume while that message is shown. So when your phone is in a pocket and you increase the volume but don’t notice that the message appeared, you cannot save your ears when the next song actually is much louder.

You do understand the concept of a speed limit, right?
- Comment on Bruh, chill 2 weeks ago:
It’s funny how the ‘acceptable’ amount to go over the speed limit is always 10. No matter if it’s kph or mph. It’s 10.
- Comment on Or does and doesn't care? 2 weeks ago:
Well, what do you expect to happen if you set an alarm in an hour that doesn’t exist? I mean, the UI shouldn’t allow that, but if you know about that time switch and proceed to set the alarm then anyway, that’s on you.

Apparently it’s become a thing to copy and paste the same koala information everywhere, which thankfully leads to a debunk as a response. See, for instance, lemmy.world/comment/8270878 or lemmy.ca/comment/16408551

- Comment on My password is not accepted because it is too long 3 weeks ago:
think there should be a law against blocking password managers for filling in fields.
I’ve never heard of anyone trying to do that. I couldn’t even imagine how a website could detect a password manager.
- Comment on My password is not accepted because it is too long 3 weeks ago:
We have figured out passwords. Management hasn’t figured out allocating resources to security, and governments haven’t figured out fining the crap out of such companies.
