A lawn is generally easier to take care of than a collection of various plants and trees. First thing I do at any new home is plant a fuck ton of edible plants, and my neighbors always talk about not having the time or energy to do the same

Cooking @lemmy.world•[QUESTION] Opinions on nitro-infused carbon steel wok
5·4 months agoI have no opinions about nitro-infused steel, but: Those are just sources of nitrogen for whatever process is used. In other words: there should be no remaining CN- (cyanide) or NH3 (ammonia) on the pan after manufacture because the N(itrogen) has gone into the alloy. Always a good idea to give your pans a wash before use anyway, of course
Wow. I’ve been vegan or vegetarian for decades and I’ve never heard of blanching tofu. Gonna have to try that tonight!
My organic chemistry prof was equally weird about synthesis. But his ego rested on everyone passing, in contrast to the biology prof who failed half the students in her classes. She was the better teacher. I don’t remember much from my second semester of o chem because I didn’t really need to learn anything to get an A, but I have retained quite a lot from her classes
I always say eldritch blast like Falcon Punch in my head

34·4 months agoI don’t understand what confiscating the weapon (and doing nothing else) even really achieves when the murderer owns a company with the word “militia” in the name.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you were in a room with your own pet and 99 identical pets, how would you pick out your pet (aside from calling their name)?
7·4 months agoMy boy cat has always given me very affectionate, but forceful, cuddles under my chin, especially when scared. Which reminds me that my old lady cat always buries her face in my elbow when she’s scared.
So, I’ll just have to pick up every cat and see who trusts me enough to use me as a blindfold lol
Almonds@mander.xyztoMental Health@lemmy.world•Best creative hobbys/general hobby for a really depressed young adult?English
4·4 months agoThis may not be accurate anymore, but ~15 years ago I got my foot in the door as a game tester by showing a history of alpha and beta testing. I can go into more detail about my interview process if you want, but the point I wanted to make is that you don’t need to be a programmer or artist to work in the game industry.
Broader advice is to take what you love and instead of doing exactly that - make a lateral transfer to a different industry. Making good beer and making good pizza dough take the same skills, their end products are what differs

14·4 months agoYeah, I understand why employers use it. Oddly, I used to work for Microsoft and can’t remember using OneDrive for our projects lol
But as a student I really prefer saving stuff locally and to a separate storage device. The university system has been hacked at least once since I’ve been a student, we all lost our credentials and were required to physically go to the campus to reset them. The university also revokes access three years after graduation.

561·4 months agoI’m in university (as an old) and just about everyone from faculty to staff has been pushing me to put everything in OneDrive. I know better, but young people tend to trust that an educational institution is looking out for them.
My freshman year I met teenagers who didn’t know what a flash drive is. Most of them have iPads with no storage, one of my classmates was just uploading all her lectures directly to YouTube so she could review them later.

cats@lemmy.world•Please check your kitten's gums regularly! Both of my rescues are toothless since before they were 18 months old thanks to my vet having a cat with this autoimmune disease!

That’s so fucked up I don’t care if a cute cat is next to the words
