There are people who take "cotton kills" way too literally. Jeans are bad if hypothermia is a risk. How big of a risk? That's something I would leave to the individual.

In highschool we were assigned inventors to do speeches on. My teacher meant to assign me Singer as in sewing machines but wrote Sanger. He caught it before the speech and told me to do Singer. I did a report on Singer for the grade and Sanger for my interest. One of the best mess ups a teacher could make.

This is how I tested too. It failed. Why would I believe it on anything else?

Look up suborder caniformia if you want that answer from a taxonomic point of view

Yeah, it usually used to indicate unwanted flowering, but in lettuces (and to a lesser extent, basil) it indicates the beginning of the flowering attempt by the plant. Most people will cull their lettuce after it bolts (stem starts to elongate into an inflorescence), but way before there are any open flowers or even buds.

Broccoli is weird though. We want it to bolt, but not really flower. That's an odd thing for most plants.

Not exactly. It is bolting when it starts sending up a flowering stem, the very beginning of flowering. Every broccoli I've ever eaten has bolted, but not many of them have bolted and flowered.

279mg or 12%rdv of salt. It is about half of what is considered a "high sodium food." Also about twice "low sodium" but not crazy. Are you thinking of salt packed instead of in oil?

45min until the grains start to open up. Lid on.

For anyone wondering DIMBY is Daycares in my back yard

As long as the anglosphere doesn't include the USA. Most people here would be able to guess what a sausage roll is but most wouldn't have seen one.

What is a "leftover fries"?

Rock juice. I didn't make that up

 

F-droid is telling me that there is a security vulnerability in Mull. Does anyone know what it is? F-droid doesn't provide details, and I can't find anything relevant on Mull's side either. I am assuming it is some out-of-date library but would like to know the risk?

 

I assumed that Gboard spell checker contacted servers constantly and have it switched off for whatever good that does. I recently tried enabling it to play with other options and noticed that it works when my phone is entirely offline.

Does anyone know if it works locally or does it just send a bunch of data out once I give it internet access again?

Bonus question: Does anyone know of a privacy respecting spell checker for android? It looks like Florisboard can work with Hunspell through Nuspell but not on Android. Is that right?

 

With a sweat bee on it for good measure

 

Just interesting and a nostalgic watch.

 

I never scrolled down that far on the page.

This plant works hard to clean the water I keep out for wildlife. This one grabbed up so much nitrogen/phosphorus that it got pot bound in one year. I split it in half so each half has twice as much room to grow this year.

 

tldr: urban woodland edges around Boston are accumulating carbon faster than expected because the soil microbiome is less functional than in more rural systems. How long that will work as a C sink is unknown.

Name for Lemmy mascot (unofficial) (raw.githubusercontent.com)

I thought I would throw this out to everyone in an easy way after seeing this post https://lemmy.ca/post/76405

What do you think the lemming mascot of Lemmy should be called? Top level comments should just be the name.

 

This is one of the best tasting and easiest things I make. If you don't want to buy harissa you can make your own pretty easily and keep the cost down. The measurements don't need to be precise at all, so I only translated to metric using numbers I thought I could multiply in my head. Let me know if I made a mistake.

Ingredients

For cooking

3-5 quarts water or veggie stock (4-6 L)

2 cups dried chickpeas (0.5 L)

Kosher salt and ground black pepper (to taste)

5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (75 mL)

1 large yellow onion, chopped

6 garlic cloves, minced

2 tablespoons tomato paste (30 mL)

2 tablespoons ground cumin, toasted (30 mL)

6 tablespoons harissa (90 mL)

2 tablespoons lemon juice (30 mL)

For Toppings

8 ounces (250 g) crusty bread (stale works), sliced 1/2-inch-thick (1cm)and torn into bite-size pieces

2 tablespoons lemon juice (30 mL)

Extra-virgin olive oil

Harissa

2 tablespoons ground cumin, toasted (30 mL)

1/2 cup drained capers (120 mL)

1/2 cup chopped pitted green olives (120 mL)

1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves (120 mL)

1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro (120 mL)

Lemon wedges

Method

Cook olive oil, onion, garlic cloves, tomato paste, ground cumin, harissa, salt, and black pepper in a pot on medium until the onions soften. Add chickpeas and water/stock and cook until the beans are done - 1 hr or so. Reduce or add water until it is as thick as you want it. I like it as a very thick stew. Stir in lemon juice once everything is cooked and remove from heat.

Toss bread cubes in olive oil and toast on stove or in oven. Remove when toasted but before they get hard. Or use them untoasted if, like me, you don't want to wash another dish.

To serve put some bread cubes in a bowl and laddle the stew over them. Add the toppings in the ingredient list.

The stew portion freezes well, so you can scale the recipe up if you want some for next week too.

 

I have been running lineageOS on my OnePlus 2. I liked it, but Lineage has stopped supporting my phone. There are two options that I have been able to find as replacements - postmarketOS and /e/OS. Any thoughts on those or other recommendation? Anything that gets security updates, is open source, and is functional meets my needs.

 

Here is a video demonstrating how to make inari (tofu pouches filled with rice). Sushi purists might take issue with some of his technique, but they probably don't need to watch this anyways :)
