So good to see WI get out from under this bullshit. If the people want (R)’s, let them get them fairly. Gerrymandering (in either direction) is bollocks.

MUSHROOM MUSHROOM

Looking forward to the “reeeeee” from folks who will somehow equate this to think that the gubment is coming for their precious water heater

I haven’t done any Signal app recruiting in my circle of contacts (in fact, I don’t think I’ve talked to anyone about it) and I have 14 contacts that have it installed at the very least. I don’t think it would be a huge push to make Signal more prevalent.

The uphill battle is making a dent in iMessage adoption, which seems to be deeper and deeper entrenched every day.

I think there are a lot of people cross-posting stuff to generate traffic and discussion

I miss the local community Reddit has/had - meaning vibrant town/city subreddits. The one for my town here on Lemmy is just one dude (@ickplant you’re doing your best) but it just doesn’t have the critical mass.

I think the primary difference, at least in the hobby farmers I know who are young, idealistic, and just getting started, is that they aren’t expecting to scale the operation beyond some arbitrary point - beyond which, it stops being fulfilling and starts being a giant pain in the ass. Conversely, the dairy farmer I know who has the largest operation in the county is a stand up dude, who avoids cutting corners but is getting squeezed big time by small artisanal operations with street cred and big, industrial operations with margins. The middle, where there used to be a huge swath of family farms, is a bloodbath of debt and suffering.

I imagine most of these new hippies are trying to stay small.

Carbon steel pans. You season and treat them like cast iron, but they develop a beautiful, smooth, non stick surface. I just made two over easy eggs in mine. They’re basically all I use anymore - no PFOx, no muss.

I thought I bought two from a French company that started with an ‘M’ but I can’t figure out which brand 😂

Hoffman seems to be pretty approving and I’d follow that guy off a cliff.

Someone put it to me like this once -

You’re going to turn 30. Would you rather be 30 and educated or just 30?

For whatever reason, that stuck with me.

I used to ride road and that exact stretch was one of the final road rides I did before I made the judgement call that riding road was just too sketch. What a tragic and preventable loss.

I always thought their bikes were neat (going back way before they made e-bikes) but going to have to agree with another poster - I never met a single owner who wasn’t a self absorbed muppet.

I still say “Sorry, Babe” to my spouse and she responds with KEEVIIIEEEEEE

No doubt, it’s a chicken or egg problem.

There’s a certain subset of consumers for whom price is the most important deciding factor in where and what to buy. No surprise - an assembly line shoveling Sysco is priced pretty competitively.

DoorDash, Uber Eats and all their ilk are awf for other reasons anyways. If you want pizza, call the pizza place directly.

Kind of a chicken or an egg problem - we need content to attract the people, the people are attracted to content.

Yep - I bought sync way back in the day and paid less than $5 for it. Used it for years and years across multiple devices until I switched to iOS. I got my moneys worth for sure - $20 seems like a bargain.

Yes! That’s it - Matfer. I think America’s Test Kitchen recommend them and I’d follow ATK off a cliff on kitchen advice. So far, the pans have been fantastic, but I can’t imagine there’s a whole lot to go wrong with a carbon steel pan.

I have in the past, yes. Reputable hosts and cloud providers tend to take them seriously in my experience.

Your dream is Harris?! Shit, no. No, no, no.

My hope is that Biden is staying in the race until the 11th hour to be the lightening rod and the dems have someone better to step in.

Of course, that would require some intestinal fortitude and a few brain cells and I don’t think the dem leadership has that.
