Agree. The number of people I know who “don’t” cook blows my mind. 75% of my repertoire takes less than 30 minutes of involvement to cook. It’s cheaper, healthier, and a great zen thing that’s totally different from my day job.

For those trying to get started, do a meal kit that involves cooking, and start there. Not having to buy ingredients or plan things out makes it less intimidating.

Tilley FTW.

I live in the desert, they are common even if unfashionable lol.

This.

I live in NM, so there are wild Neomexicanus hops (the Amalia and Multihead are that variety) but they are all up in the mountains. In the city, there are not really any male plants around.

Only issue is local nurseries sell ornamental hops that might be male… But thankfully my neighbors hopyard is all female varieties for home brewing.

Hot and dry lol. They have to be irrigated.

I wish Apple was transparent enough to have a real comparison of their privacy.

Personal guess, Apple is generating just as much personal data, just using it less offensively than Google. That’s not good but it’s betterish, I guess.

Main things I’m stuck using Google for at the moment are Gmail and Maps. Gmail, because my address I’ve had over there since Gmail was invite only. Maps, because they are one of the only decent sources for restraunt reviews these days (why did Zomato have to kill UrbanSpoon :( )

Toyota 2UZ-FE. Powerful, torquey, and near indestructible. Also, Toyota had the ah-hah moment to take an engine designed for pickups and heavy duty applications and cram it into the 4Runner.

What hops you should grow is more determined by your growing conditions than what you want to drink.

I live in NM, so I have two varieties of NeoMexicanus, plus a new drought tolerant variety called Vista.

I generally shoot for varieties that are hard to get new, so that’s a good fit for me.

However, if your in Sweden I don’t even know if you can grow hops outdoors. Your climate is about as opposite mine as we could get and still both be growing hops!

I think the mod tools are what will blow reddit up ultimately. It’s why I’m here.

The third party apps are a hard self own, but I don’t use reddit because of third party apps. I use third party apps because the reddit official app is… Special. If they’d forced me to sue their app I would be annoyed, but still interested in reddit.

If you destroy the key tools that enable volunteer moderators to manage communities, the community will die. Example: two of my favorite subs were legaladvice, and bestoflegaladvice. Both required extensive moderating to function (and even then, it was prone to shit shows particularly at LA). No mod tools would make it unmoderatable… Which turns you into Voat pretty fast.

So, I don’t think reddit dies July 1. I think reddit spends the next year turning into Twitter, and lemmy has to run as fast as it can to scale.

Hopefully, this is my last post on lemmy talking about reddit, but I doubt I’m that lucky.

Drive slow car fast better than fast car slow.

I’ve done some GF brewing, mainly for. My parents.

Made a really good lodge style porter that used Sorghum, Belgian candi sugar, molasses, and Dextrose as fermentables.

If anyone is looking for some “training wheels” to dip your toe into to gluten free brewing, label peelers has some excellent kits.
