Enjoying the great vista of the Fedisphere.

  • Depends on the temperature of the oven, but the wood handles are easy to unscrew, they have a steel rod running through them that is capped with a cast iron loop. I usually start searing on the stove when cooking roast, pop the pan into the oven and unscrew the handle. When it’s done, I put the handle back on before taking the pan out.

  • Plastic bottles are usually made from preforms delivered from the plastic bottle manufacturer. The rinsing would ideally be when the bottle is formed from a preform at the soda plant, before the bottle is filled. Some do this (sometimes with harsh chemicals), but most don’t as they consider the preform as sufficiently clean enough to fill.

  • Tass usually claims blue is pink.

  • It’s mainly a staycation.

    We’re moving furniture around , getting rid of no longer necessary furniture and making cat friendly climbing shelves along the walls.

  • I managed to boot up an old NAS (by fixing the fans and re-soldering some broken connectors) and discovered it had content I thought I had lost forever.

    Today my five weeks of paid summer vacation starts. Looking forward to taking it easy and puttering about with plants, redecorating at home and planning out a new network setup, in between hanging out with friends, visiting new places and trying new things.

    As another user wrote, thank you @LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone for starting these Friday conversations.

  • Reminds me of my grandma. She used to have grand mal seizures. We, her grand kids, recognized the pre-attack symptoms (when we were around) and used to get her to sit down (not lie down), arrange good neck and side support for her, had her drink some booze and bite down on a folded kitchen towel. This made the seizure almost non-noticeable and she could usually be up and around five minutes afterwards.

    If we weren’t around, we’d meet her up at the hospital and then drive her home a two to five days later and had to support her for the coming weeks, as her head wasn’t right.

    She absolutely refused to go into a caring home or have more support at home. Her pride killed her.

  • Ensure that you and your kids have dual citizenship.

  • What is wrong with this timeline? It makes the Cold War and various idiocies from then seem fully sane and normal.

  • Don’t worry, someone will let you know with a deeply snarky comment.

  • Thank you.

  • Maybe they should focus all of their efforts on the 1% now.

  • Ok, thank you, good night, now I’m off watching owl and birdwatching videos as brain bleach before I fall asleep.

  • I kind of prefer my Switch 2 fantasy compared to visualizing Marquis de Sade writings…

  • While most of us would applaud that as "finally some consequences for that murderous despot!" it's probably more of a "nah, not interested, just use any old excuse so that I can stay at home and play some sweet sweet video games!".

  • Well, it's how it's spelled in pretty much all of the English-speaking world. Barring the USA and Canada.

    Edit: my favourite ”whelp” is apparently not what I thought.

  • I hate this. Upvote.

  • Is this a shower thought?

  • It seems that every article from Jacobin is skewed ever so slightly, not enough to make most think there’s something wrong, but it seems to skew anti-progressive by tone and wording, while being assertive in part to some center (or right-leaning by European standards), and aggressive in language towards selective parts of the far-right while mellowing down the tone against conservatives in general.

    It’s like eating candy and discovering that the sugar coating is actually aluminium.
