You just come back after candy getting hours. Why waste treat time tricking? That's what sugar rushes are for

I updated with some of the details on the original post in case you're curious, but reinstalling the app was the winning ticket. Thanks for the willingness to help

[–] Slatlun@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

Yep it was the app. A reinstall fixed it. Thanks for the help.

Clearing cache didn't work, but total reinstall did. Thanks for a point in the right direction.

Sounds like it was a boom year for them for some reason. That's actually pretty cool ecologically speaking (maybe less when you can't move for worry of being stung). Now I get to do some research. Do you mind saying what part of the world this was (dm ok if that's better)?

Even if that is true, do I adopt that morality for everything - ie what would they do if the sizes were reversed? Mosquitoes would leave me alone if they were human sized. Does that make it wrong to kill them?

When I am camping (and when I'm not) I try to think of my position in the world. Is the scorpion in my shoe invading my space or am I passing through theirs? Who should have the right to be there? Do they only get to exist if they play by my rules, or do I acknowledge the right of things that scare me to have a place in the world? Will I be someone who lashes out or someone who makes space?

You are totally in the majority with your actions, and I'm not trying to lay anything on you at all. I only wish we as a species could extend a little more kindness when it is the emotionally hard choice.

Why stomp them?

At that point you will have smoked 4% of 100 joints. Hey, math is easy.

Your computer is displaying the symbols wrong. The W in your screenshot is a whole note. The dotted capital Is are eighth notes. No suggestions except different browser or app.

It feels bad when you put in time and thought without any response. That's not their fault. It isn't your fault. Something didn't jive and that was a miss for both of you.

There is no expectation. Just like you don't have to respond to me here. Actually, I take that back. The expectation is that they (and you) will only engage their own (or your own) terms. Neither of you owes the other anything.

What would I do? I would take no response as a hint and back off entirely. Matching carries absolutely no obligation to respond to me.

I commented below, but better to group the ideas. You can also use a glass paint marker. Mine hasn't worn off at all in 3 years.

 

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 :)

Yumm sauce (lemmy.ml)
submitted 4 years ago* (last edited 4 years ago) by Slatlun@lemmy.ml to c/veganrecipes@lemmy.ml
 

This is a copycat recipe from a restaurant. They serve it on top of rice, beans, olives, cilantro, and green onions. We put it on anything that needs a little something extra and change up the spices to match. It is supposed to be thick like a cheese sauce, but it tastes like its own thing. Anyways:

Materials

1/2 cup Canola Oil

1/2 cup Almonds toasted

1/2 cup Chickpeas cooked and drained

1/2 cup Water

1/2 cup Freshly squeezed Juice of 1 Lemon

1/3 cup Nutritional Yeast Flakes

2 cloves Garlic crushed

1/2 teaspoon Salt

1 teaspoon Curry Powder

1/4 cup Cilantro chopped

Instructions

Place oil, almonds, chickpeas and water into a food processor or blender. Process until smooth.

Add remaining ingredients. Process again until smooth.

Store, covered (not too tightly, at first, the yeast may need to expand), in the refrigerator, until ready to use.

The large flowered collomia (Collomia grandiflora) is just starting to bloom around me. They are annual and have cool blue pollen (typically pollen is yellow). You can see the pollen on the anthers at the center of each flower.

I am going to keep tossing these out into the ether unless I hear differently from the group. I have been doing flowers just because their showy, but if anyone has requests let me know (eg trees, sedges, garden plants). Also, I have been avoiding having pollinators in the photos on the assumption that any animal makes most people ignore plant. Any thoughts on that?

 

Does it make sense to ask: How hard does a photon hit an object?

Does the waviness of photons make that a dumb question? If it does then what is a more correct way of conceptualizing the interaction of a photon with, for example, a light receptor? Or does the analogy in my head of a ball hitting a wall fairly represent the behavior of a photon at the moment of impact?

This one is meadow-foam (Limnanthes douglasii). It's annual that is native to prairies of the west coast of North America. Smells great, looks cool, and bugs like it. Comercially, similar plants are grown for the oil from their seeds. The seeds off this one will just fall where they want to sprout up in spring of '22.

 

For me it is my phacelia (Phacelia tanacetifolia) blooming. I throw some seed down wherever I don't have other plans because the bugs love the flowers? What have you got going?
