  • Why not use it too often? I get dried chickpeas so it's usually a waste product from soaking them.

  • Got an allotment this year. Start growing a variety of things, see what works and what doesn't. Here are some things I have been growing.

    Jerusalem artichokes seem to be growing nicely, not dug them up yet though to see how big they are underground.

    Tried garlic and it struggled, bulbs are all tiny. Ground likely too damp for them or planted too deep. Might try walking onions next year

    Radishes, the greens were nice, roots have mostly been nibbled by maggots though.

    Good king Henry/some variety of goosefoot, planted seeds and feels like I shouldn't have bothered as it's growing everywhere wether I want it to or not. Perennial plant and you can eat the leaves like spinach, seeds like quinoa, shoots like asparagus.

    Perennial kale - just getting eaten by insects so probably going to give up on that soon.

    Rhubarb and blackcurrants, recently planted so not had much time to comment on them yet. Seen other people nearby with fair size rhubarbs though so hopefully it will go well. Might make it into wine.

    I would suggest getting at least a few things that don't require buying constantly new seeds. That is my longer term plan with things like the blackcurrants, take cuttings of the bush to propagate it further - it came with a label saying propagation is prohibited which I take as a challenge. Plant piracy!

    Quick edit - also in my garden at home I am growing rosemary, sage and bay which are all doing well. Got mint in pots which is struggling a bit, partly from neglect. Should be ok if I water it a bit more. A large barrel for it to grow in could be nice tbh. Stick holes near the bottom on the side so the bottom holds a reservoir of water is also a tempting idea, as long as it's a deep enough barrel that the standing water is reasonably below the surface.

  • TIL Sid Meier's Pirates was released on Wii.

  • Aren't old games pretty small though? It's new ones that you may need a huge volume to store many of them. Depends how much we are talking of course. 2TB or 50TB?

  • Well let's start with how much you need.

    Then we can all cry. Currently looking at replacing HDDs with SSDs and significantly cutting down on my data storage requirements - basically uninstalling all those games I haven't played in a long time and probably won't. Plus it's easier to avoid getting sucked into playing ESO and wasting money on it if it's behind a 100+ GB download. Majority of games I actually play are under 5GB so I could go pretty heavy. Couple second hand 512GB SSDs perhaps? Under £100...

  • Second hand SSDs are getting kinda tempting tbh. But even they have seen their prices rise. Wish I bought all of the 512GB ones I saw for £10 each now. Got plenty of SATA ports, why shouldn't I use them?

  • After walking through CEX on the weekend I don't know if you will beat second hand laptop pricing. The significantly higher availability of laptops seems to make them prices that just can't be beaten.

    Unless you can get away running a pi zero of course. Sorta tempted to get one but not sure how much I could get it to do. Would do data storage just fine, depending on how much space you need.

  • Years ago I was tempted to get a 4TB SSD for data storage as prices were getting reasonable and I just kept thinking wait for it to drop a bit more. Now 4TB HDDs are pushing the same price SSDs were back then. Fuck.

    My PC is currently 512GB SSD boot drive and 3TB LVM from a 1/2TB HDD. Those HDDs are getting pretty old now so I probably should replace them at some point but I resent having to pay the prices they ask right now. Maybe I should just uninstall half of my steam library that I realistically won't play any time in years or ever again. Reduce my storage needs. Data backups only take like 50GB or so.

  • Had some pumpernickel which was nice - proper pumpernickel from cracked rye, not American stuff with a bunch of added sugar. Sourdough is also pretty good. Next want to try making oat bannocks over a log fire.

    Cheese is hard to pick as there are so many. Wensleydale with dried fruit. Although halloumi is also really good.

  • Cyberbully the clanker until it uninstalls it's self

  • Tell* it to fuck off

  • Problem there is you gave some not inherently political communities that often get filled with political things. But that does remind me I need to go on another purge sometime.

  • If I was earning 100k after tax at 22 I would retire by 30.

  • Standard American build quality

  • Not like American EVs ... Oh hang on, another bit fell off a cyber truck

  • But have you considered these alternative "facts"?

  • Or more of a cottage cheese?

  • So not jelly at all?

  • Solid stuff? Someone did a really shit job of making it then. Unless you mean something that isn't called jelly here. Taste is subjective but if they fucked that bit up then I wouldn't be surprised if other things were done wrong too.
