BendyLemmy

Can you explain more?

I have an iPhone which has a lightning connector - if I want to hook it up to the computer, I can either connect Bluetooth, or I can plug in a 3.5mm aux connector to the lightning port... which would also allow me to connect my old Sennheiser headphones.

However, for listening to podcasts at bedtime, I generally just use the computer which usually goes to sleep at bedtime - but I could adjust that.

Ok, not a stupid question - but annoying to assume that only Google is relevant.

Also, annoying that you'll assume that searching 'instant rice' will pull results from Lemmy. Even searching Lemmy for 'instant rice' brings zero results.

• Instant rice simply had all of the good parts milled out If you really are interested, I'd skip it entirely - 'instant' rice is basically rice that got everything milled out of it, then it's cooked, then dried - it costs a lot more and tastes like shit.

So I hope my answer will come up in your next search...

However, searching for 'sending epub files to my kindle' brings up quite a few... and down the list there, we see posts from 2022 in r/kindle, and entering reddit as an extra keyword pulls up more...

So really, we want to know if we search for something which should have results in Lemmy.ml, Lemmy.world - and not only Lemmy, there are others - like BeeHaw) how long is it going to take before this gets picked up by SEARCH ENGINES (Let's not say Google, or Reddit - these are bad habits unless there's a specific need to specify).> instant rice

I just grabbed Kurtz Vonnegut's Welcome to the Monkeyhouse and Palm Sunday and it's pretty cool.

Hmmm the main question is whether it can get it's content to show up in search results - this being the main selling point of Reddit and other platforms.

Right now, if you help someone fix an issue it's pretty much walled in and unavailable.

Ha, maybe it's only for Mobile... https://i.imgur.com/9XQhAzP.png Nothing here :(

This is very difficult... and we must be very careful indeed...

You shouldn't ask for MORE simply because you enjoyed it.

Friends already seemed to go on endlessly - but most shows are rightly put to bed and overshadowed by newer and better ideas.

Now I'm watching Blue Light and don't miss NYPD blue.... I still watch Kojak occasionally, but I sure wouldn't want any MORE.

Gentleman Jack

• Awesome stuff

• HBO sucks and I hate them (but Band of Brothers was almost perfect, except that it was a little bit too restricted/condensed/reduced).

Black Mirror

'Nuff said.

• Given that this is a collection of stories, and that I started READING stories a lot more recently (currently just finished Harrison Bergeron - the second story in "Welcome to the Monkeyhouse" written by Kurt Vonnegut. These stories are brilliant ideas put into short form - perfect.

Quantum Leap

• was almost as good, but a little more formulaic - so I'd vote for Black Mirror to take the flag forward for interesting short stories.

Talking about Black Mirror...

The OA

• Going back in history...

Firefly

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

• Anything of that time with Summer Glau looking incredibly gorgeous. Sure, you know I'm right - even when it's bad, it's just really good.

Scarborough (2019)

• lovely, and took me back to some childhood holidays.

Victoria (2016-19)

• certainly died too early (I love Jenna Coleman).

Tom and Jerry (original style, painted on glass, with no fear of being politically correct or educational).

Pink Panther

• I know, they DID do more, a lot more Tom and Jerry - but most of that just sucks and I don't know why people even liked the continuation once the original atmosphere was lost. HD brought nothing to Tom n Jerry for sure.

• Pink Panther owes 90% of it's success to bad drawing, amazing music, and sheer atmosphere surrounding mostly not amazing stories if the truth be told... but it worked so well. Hours of endless fun with just one bucket of blue, and another of pink paint... yes, you know what I'm talking about.

I still have a 'random cartoon' habit with Pink Panther/Tom n Jerry

There isn't much room for anything else in there.

I just wish there had been MORE of them.

Always the UP-selling... pushing luxury and convenience and car culture. It's worse in the USA than most countries, but in the UK people measure your penis in a pub by asking what car you drive.

Our house has 2 vehicles

• PCX-150 that costs less to run than a skateboard.
• 1.2L Yaris with CVT that costs about the same to run as a skateboard. Is comfortable enough and fairly quiet cruising up to 110 km/h (with gentle feet, the needle hovers from 1000 to 2000rpm).

After a lifetime of driving manual cars, superbikes, this dramatic shift was huge as I wanted to shave expenditure when we bought our house.

However, we have no intention to 'upgrade' to anything with more power or features.... rather we only intend to 'upgrade' to something that is more economical.

Yes, savoury is good. for a cup of oats, 2 eggs, a good ¼ tsp salt, a good grind of black pepper, a dousing of white pepper, a full teaspoon or more of garam masala... Soy Sauce/Worcestershire sauce.

It's basically omelette... you can find video 'oats and eggs' to show the basic idea. Be careful, it's twice as filling as porridge once you start with eggs.

So defend the right to free speech, the right to be a loud mouthed Nazi, and the right to be as uncivilised as you like in the doghouse.

It depends where you live (I'm in Bangkok, so grocery choices are quite limited).

I love Oats. I got massively back into them again this year... now I buy around 3kg every month (instant oats).

It's only this year, really, that I discovered that oats are still really good and creamy when not made with milk... and it's really easy to boil a single cup of water to dump on a cup of oats for a perfect breakfast (left standing for a minute - done... no need to 'microwave' oats).

Also, cheap staples include: carrots, potato, broccoli, spinach...

Frozen strawberries are dirt cheap here too.

Breakfast 1:

• Instant Oats (1 cup, 1/4 tsp salt, 3tsp sugar, 3 tsp creamer)
• pulsed to powder in the blender with a cup of boiling water poured over.
• Blend 100ml milk with 3 strawberries and mix that in. The beauty of this is (as my son does NOT like stodgy/thick porridge) I can add an extra 100ml of milk to his breakfast, and it becomes a liquid smoothie.

Breakfast 2:

• Weetbix are not too cheap, but ONE biscuit mixed with ONE cup of oats is a massive breakfast - and tastes of Weetbix... and is ridiculously cheap in comparison.

Breakfast 3

• Oats work great with eggs...
• 1 cup oats, some salt, some cumin (maybe a teaspoon)
• 2/3 cup boiling water (soak a minute)
• 2 duck eggs mixed in
• butter up the frying pan and dump it in there, cover and cook gently for 3 minutes, flip and give them another 3 minutes.

DIsgusting poopy one

• 2 teaspoons of cocoa powder mixed with 4 teaspoons of non-dairy creamer + 1 cup oats
• pulse to powder, add a cup of hot water.

That's choccie heaven right there.

The question was already answered.

Many people don't have a life, they get addicted to Reddit (or something similar) and it's importance to them becomes extreme.

Such people managed a protest, but as Spez rightly pointed out - they'll be back.

Basically, I think the way forward is to get SEARCH engines to dig content from the Fediverse - because that is the area where Reddit wins. You don't have to go there, you just do a search - and Reddit comes up all over the place.

Lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, Beehaw etc just don't exist there when you want to get answers to questions that would exist, for example r/Firefox, r/CSSFirefox.

CIS is simply opposite of TRANS - they simply describe someone's identity in terms of their physiology.

Confusion rises, somewhat, when you factor in masculinity/femininity to the equation - but basically 'trans' means that having a dick doesn't mean you're a man... 'cis' means that being a man means you have a penis.
