  • Anyone willing to justify chicken and waffles?

    Jump

  • That's an intresting take! Maybe the contrasting flavor is more noticeable when the textures are kinda similar? Thanks!

  • If anyone has any good recommendation for soul food places in celtic France, let me know!!

    Do you mean the waffles are spiced too? That's interesting!

  • Is that dark gravy in the meat juice + stock + flour sense or that crazy white paste from "biscuits" & "gravy"? Some sort of sauce makes sense, because I'm concerned it's all a bit dry...

  • That's the thing, they don't seem opposite enough to me. Iove salty sweet: salty caramel, bacon and cheddar on pancakes, I even dip chocolat chip cookies in hummus if I'm in the mood.

    The texture of the waffles (crisp on the outside, fluffy in the middle) seems not that far away from the chicken (crispy / crunchy on the outside, juicy in the middle). Both are fatty, but also dryish - obviously still moist, but dry in a crispy way. I could imagine having chicken curry on waffles, the saucy texture would be a nice contrast, but fried chicken...

    I guess I'll just have to try it!

  • Yeah, that's why I'm trying to learn what the appeal is. If it's good, I want to try making it, but I can make decent chicken and good waffles, and I really can't imagine eating the together. So maybe the waffles need to be a bit different? Or something?

  • Intriguing... Can you expand on what was good? Or how it was different from what you expected?

  • Anyone willing to justify chicken and waffles?

    Jump

  • I assume it works, otherwise it wouldn't be a thing! Just trying to understand how... Are the waffles the same texture as Belgian style waffles? Or more like a potato waffle? Were they sweet? Did it have a sauce?

    If I can figure out what's meant to be good about it, I can try making my own!

  • Alternative to discord?

  • What's good about zulip? It's not one I'm familiar with.

  • Alternative to discord?

    Jump

  • We are considering a seperate play by post game using some of the forums and sites set up for that. But having a voice and video chat with friends, with easy options for adding dice and game management bots is appealing.

  • Happy Pi Day!

    Jump

  • They're both useful, a cricle's circumference as τr is lovely but πr2 is certainly more elegant for area. The real pity is that they didn't use the symbols the other way round - if τ = 3.1... and π =6.2... you have a natural π =τ+τ which makes sense (visually, conventionally mathematically it's nonsense!)

  • Huh, this made realise I don't think I've ever dreamed about punching something. And I've had many decades of quite vivid and varied dreams.

  • I bought foundry but never had time to get the hang of it, and in the end we preferred minimal vtt, just chat and a dice / auto bot. But maybe some day I'll get into it! Defintely vastly better than roll20

  • Yeah, I good with the message, but that's one of the most uncomfortable looking photos I've seen. Where are they supposed to be looking?

  • Alternative to discord?

    Jump

  • Hah, that's fine, because it would be for our group activity they'd be fine with making accounts. I never used discord to chat with people outside my small group of irl friends.

  • Why are all the questions here so negative? Why not ask new and interesting things?

    Jump

  • I just looked at the top 10 posts for the last month, and 10 newest posts, and they're really not that negative. I'd say it's a third quite positive, a third fediverse / tech, and a third quite negative.

    But humans perceive negative information much more strongly (at least according to some studies) so even though they're evenly split, the negative ones might stand out and be more salient. This month's top ten included "Why does it feel like evil is winning in the world?" (negative) versus "what's your favourite local dish from your part of the world? (positive). The positive one could feel small and trivial while the negative one feels big, serious and apocalyptic - so of course it stands out more.

    As well as salience, people are more likely to post about a problem than a solution (it is asklemmy after all), so it's really going to be problems, big and small, or fun / silly questions like the local food one. Even more neutral questions about advice are often revolving around a negative problem. I've just posted asking about good alternatives to discord (fairly neutral I think?) and I'm hoping for positive "this other thing is great!" responses, but I'm kinda asking because I'm sick of enshitification (which is negative).

    The other possibility is that the new and top rankings are not representative. Perhaps posts are mostly mixed but the ones that get popular are more negative, but the occasional popular poistive one is such a pleasant surprise that it ends up making it to the top ten.

  • If you still use reddit, do you feel bad for doing so?

    Jump

  • Defintely. But it's not so much I feel morally bad, I just hate reddit so I don't enjoy using it. I guess I was hidden from the worst of it by using boost, but now when I want to use reddit briefly (to ask some niche question that I won't get a lot of responses on lemmy) I use the website and the experience is so unpleasant. There's now all these awful gamification popups, "Keep your 1/300 streak going!" bullshit.

  • Which apps do you allow to give you notifications?

    Jump

  • Okay, that makes sense. I took OP's question to be about what notifications you use/want and which you turn off. They describe allowing only calls and messages, and were asking what else people permitted. E.g. I don't allow my lemmy app to notify me about replies, but I'm sure some people do.
