Just looks like palak paneer and rice to me.

It looks like a sliding cabinet door. Might be doable without breaking a glass pane…

Unironically, me too. They’re there now, waiting to be discovered. We can find them now on our terms or be surprised by them later.

The building next door, with 4 units of 1100sqft each (spread over three floors, ughhhh) is $1.6 million CAD per unit.
- Comment on What's your test for people? 5 weeks ago:
As long as you don’t overstack it. Make a tidy stack that can be carried easily with one hand securely. If you eg put utensils between plates you can cause an accident.

I was a windows sysadmin doing mostly software deployment and automation. I was definitely an edge case. Point is, windows has a command line and requires it for a lot of tasks.
- Comment on Anon gets rid of drop box 1 month ago:
I supported windows for a while… I’m not sure I went more than an hour or two without going to command line to fix something or another.

I remember watching that P4A a few years ago. The bean thing was hilarious. And then Lemmy did a version of it… talk about meme synchronicity. Pretty great.

Sure. How much weight does that have when Sacramento decides to run a water pipeline from Capilano to eastern Washington or whatever?

God we have trouble enough with Toronto thinking it’s the centre of the world and ignoring BC. We’d have zero influence in Cascadia.

If anime can be child porn, so is this. Gross.
- Comment on I know I get excited when I see NFLD mentioned 2 months ago:
I get unreasonably excited when I see Vancouver, as Vancouver, on TV. It’s everywhere, but only rarely as the setting.
Family Law and Continuum are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head. There was a Brent Butt sitcom a whole back.

Well, downloading maybe. But it should just say fuckin downloading!
- Comment on Beyond Beef? Impossible Beef? I Can't Believe It's Not Beef? 2 months ago:
I quite like both Impossible and Beyond burgers. Honestly, better than a lot of the shitty fast food Styrofoam “meat” they try to pass off.

Feels like a decade, dang. Who can keep track.
Anyway…

article about Canadian strikes
Americans in the comments making it about themselves and relitigating a decade old squabble
- Comment on BE NOT AFRAID, MORTAL 2 months ago:
No visible mold. I’d pour off the hooch, put it through a couple feeding cycles, and see how it smells.

The Long Dark. Nothing will change. Death is only a matter of time.

A raid6 array across a collection of separate disks might do it.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Not difficult, or even expensive, to find a working 20 year old machine with a 3.5" FDD. Also I work at a library and we keep a couple of well bagged USB floppy drives around for profs who occasionally need data retrieval. Hasn’t happened in a couple years though. We also have an old Dell for 5.25".

There are some native clovers but otherwise yes
- Comment on 3 months ago:
I have one but I do find it a bit difficult. Maybe the fine chain ones would work better for me.

Trying to avoid microplastics. I have yet to find a scrub brush that isn’t plastic bristles. So i use dishcloths.
- Comment on In racoon we trust 3 months ago:
I am more or less neutral on most recycling. Separating metals us a good idea, glass pretty neutral (it’s basically a rock and expensive to crush and recycle - much better to reuse). Separating plastics is probably worse than useless.
Separating organics, however, has immediate benefits. It’s so nice having trash that doesn’t stink to high heaven, and it almost eliminates the raccoon and rat problem. Municipal compost is one of the best public investments imo. Yes, it can be gross, but it concentrates the gross and makes it much simpler to deal with.
