What's is your favorite "unique" edc? in c/edc@sopuli.xyz

[-] fujiwood@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Everytime I eat certain meats I end up with food stuck in my teeth.

This has happened enough times that I wished I carried toothpicks. So now I carry a slim brass tube filled with wood toothpicks.

Do I need to start over or can this be salvaged? in c/castiron@lemmy.world

[-] fujiwood@lemmy.world 26 points 3 months ago

I'd just give it a scrub to remove any rust then apply a light coat of oil and put it in the oven to season.

Or you could try the stove top method for woks.

Strawberry Compote in Enameled Cast Iron (lemmy.world)

Second time making compote but first time using cast iron to do it.

I opted for enameled over seasoned due the lemon juice added. I knew it would take a while to reduce and didn't want the extra acid to break down seasoning on my other pans.

It worked well and tasted good. Less sweet and more tart than store bought preserves.

Used it on toast, pancakes and made some tarts in the oven.

Google is no longer a search engine.

It's a storefront.

This is my first time making and eating this meal. It has a mild but pleasant flavor.

Multitool (lemmy.world)

I carry a Leatherman Rebar when I know I'll need a few more tools in my pocket. It's only a few times a month but when I do it's indispensable.

The size is both small enough to fit comfortably in my pocket while be substantial enough to feel like a real tool. The tools I use the most are the pliers, Philips screw driver, and wire cutters.

This model locks the tools while they are open which I prefer but it lacks scissors, a replaceable bit driver and has, in my opinion, a light duty knife.

13 year old Zippo (lemmy.world)

I've had this Zippo since early 2011. According to the markings it was made in August of 2010.

I don't always carry it but when I know I'm going to need a lighter it's what I use. I have other lighters around the house, for candles/starting the grill, but when I go out this one is in my pocket.

It was originally the matte black model but after more than a decade I decided to use acetone to remove the coating. It's now raw brass which I do like.

The only downside of this lighter is that the original insert will lose fluid over a few days. I did add a small piece of this plastic over the bottom of the insert to act as a gasket. It does improve the time it takes for the fluid to evaporate by about double.

I know there are flame and torch inserts but I prefer the simple mechanism of this. I've had other torch lighters in the past and they always seem to break. If something on this Zippo ever breaks I know I can repair it with a repair kit. I don't mind disposable lighters since they work well and serve a purpose but I enjoy the permanence of a Zippo.

I recently made myself a Midori inspired notebook. It's 5 oz veg tan leather that I dyed.

New Year - New Watch (lemmy.world)

I received a new watch as a Christmas gift.

It's the Vaer S5 Tradition which originally came with a silicone and khaki nylon strap. Since I prefer nato straps, I swapped it for my old watch strap. It's a 40 mm case with sapphire crystal and screwdown crown. The lume is honestly better than I expected.

Stitching Vice (lemmy.world)

I don't own a stitching pony so this is how I decided to hold my work. It's not perfect as the thread sometimes get caught on the vice and it's only three inches wide but it's much faster than trying to hold the piece with my hands as I stitch it.

Homemade Apple Pie (lemmy.world)

I made an apple pie in a cast iron pan. It's actually easier to make than it seems. Everything is from scratch.

Charring Poblano Peppers (lemmy.world)

I was originally going to make Chile Rellenos but I ran out of time. I made Rajas and added them to the Picadillo that was going to be the pepper stuffing. I didn't take a photo of that because I was too hungry. It came out great.

Edit: You char all sides of the pepper. Then you let it steam in a bag for 10-15 minutes. This allows you to remove the char and you are left with a pleasantly smokey and flavorful pepper.

Cast Iron Chicken Thighs (lemmy.world)

Lately I've been cooking everything in my cast iron pans. Once you get the hang of them they're fantastic.

For this pan I sanded the original sandpaper like texture with an orbital sander then applied many coats of seasoning. Sadly, I may have made it too smooth. The seasoning doesn't stay on as well as another smaller pan that I own. Which means I'll sand it again with 40 grit in order to help the seasoning stick. Fingers crossed.

Home cooked corn tortillas. (lemmy.world)

submitted 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) by fujiwood@lemmy.world to c/cooking@lemmy.world

6 comments fedilink

I say home cooked because with prepackaged masa it's literally "add water" to prepare. It doesn't take very long to make but since the flavor of the mass produced masa is very similar to some premade corn tortillas I usually only make them when I'm out of premade tortillas. In my opinion azul masa does have a better flavor, so I wonder if a less refined masa or even homemade masa may have better flavor.

What are good places to frequently check / 'be' on the internet besides lemmy / reddit / social media? in c/general@lemmy.world

[-] fujiwood@lemmy.world 30 points 8 months ago

Find a RSS aggregator that you like and add the RSS feeds of websites you enjoy going to. I'm assuming most have the ability to search websites based off topics to help you get started.

The feed will show you every update those websites makes automatically.

There's no comments or frivolous things. Just headlines, images and text of the webpage.

It's a nice reprieve from social media.

What is gravity? in c/science_memes@mander.xyz

[-] fujiwood@lemmy.world 141 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Everyone always asks what is gravity.

No one ever asks how is gravity.

Poor gravity, always helping us keep our shit together but no one ever truly understands the weight on gravities shoulder.

Vice blocked news stories that could offend Saudi Arabia, insiders say in c/news@lemmy.world

I remember when Vice was "bleeding-edge-unwavering-unapologetic-raw-insert-other-catchy-adjective news! The stories no one else has the genitals to cover!"

I never personally thought that but I'm pretty sure that's what they wanted other people to think.

My first thought is they are running low on food.

My guess is probably due to over fishing and die off due to climate change. They probably don't understand the climate part but they can see ships take all their food.

Hence they are starting to attack the things that take their food. This is 100% my opinion.

Why is my Lemmy experience feeling so lame? **UPDATE** in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

[-] fujiwood@lemmy.world 20 points 11 months ago

You're not going to like what I'm about to say.

You're part of the problem. You can fix it though.

Ready?

You need to make original content for the communities you are apart of and stop expecting others to provide you the conent you want. Because if that's what everyone did, then there would be absolutely nothing here.

That's just the way it is right now. There's not enough original content creators on Lemmy yet.

What does original content mean? It doesn't mean reposts from other websites. It doesn't mean articles from other websites. The original content was already posted by the writers of the articles, on the original website. It doesn't mean comments you make. My comment here isn't original content. It's a reaction.

Original content is something you make. You baked some sourdough bread? Post. You made a chair from wood? Post. You made something out of leather? Post. You took a nice photo? Post. You made some digital art? Post. You drew a sketch of a building? Post. You did "insert hobby"? Post. You're a collector of this niche thing? Post.

The truth is, original content can be hard and time-consuming. It takes a certain mind to want to post original content. If everyone here would make just one original content post, I think that would help make Lemmy a better social media site.

Be the change.

How am I supposed to make a filter to block "X"? I know Lemmy doesn't support it yet but on Boost I could add filters to block certain posts with words/names.

I'm hoping that Boost for Lemmy will have this feature but my first question still stands. Blocking Twitter was easy because it was specific. How am I supposed to block a letter? I

Reddit invites mods to “feedback” conversations with the admins in c/snoocalypse@lemmy.ml

[-] fujiwood@lemmy.world 74 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

A community garden(Reddit) with bad, broken or non existent tools.

Volunteer workers(Mods) bring their own tools(3rd party apps) to maintain the garden. Other volunteers(Reddit OC contributing users) plant seeds, water and harvest the garden. Other non-volunteers (Non-OC contributing users who only consume media) benefit, leech and take home food.

Garden owners(Reddit) decide to charge tool companies to allow their tools into the garden(3rd party app makers being charged for API access). Tool companies(3rd party app makers) can't pay exorbitant amounts. Volunteer maintenance workers(Mods) can no longer use outside tools(3rd party apps) to upkeep the garden.

The workers(Mods) become angry and disruptive by limiting access to the garden(Mods privatize and demonetize subreddits).

Non-Contributing leechers become upset. "We don't care about you workers! Give us food!"("No one cares about you Mods! We want to mindlessly consume! Give us media!")

Workers and real gardeners leave to find a better garden (Mods and OC contributors leave to find a better social media platform).

Old garden fills with weeds and dog shit(Reddit fills with reposts and bots).

The End.
