  • Do you read books on your phone?

    Jump

  • At least 6 hours a day, easily.

    Royalroad, mostly, but also AO3, Questionable Questing and Spacebattles.

    I also download everything to a calibre library and read it using Audiobookshelf.

  • People with the gene that makes cilantro taste like soap: What do you mean by "Cilantro tastes like soap"? In what way does anything taste like soap?

    Jump

  • I think lime, cucumber and jalapeño is a pretty good descriptor. Lime and cucumber just taste a lot like mint to me.

    Fresh is also a good description. It makes my mouth feel clean just like mint does.

  • Huh, interesting!

  • Only partially related, why does no one talk about what it tastes like when you don't have the gene? Nobody told me it's like spicy mint! I was expecting something mild like basil or something. But no, it's overpowering.

    I had the chance to try it for the first time a few months ago when I discovered a local restaurant sells Bahi Mi with cilantro and pickled carrots. Its delicious, but I was not expecting that flavor.

  • I made a way to remotely control my homelab without any internet access required

  • The difference is you dont have to be on the same network

  • In your opinion, what is the most convenient Lemmy web interface on a phone?

    Jump

  • I use Boost, and it works great.

  • How much do you pay for food each month?

    Jump

  • Tried it out the last couple days. Works great. The tap water here is apparently almost as good as my preferred bottled water brand. Looks like I'm saving $3 a day, thanks

  • How much do you pay for food each month?

    Jump

  • I am, definitely.

  • How much do you pay for food each month?

    Jump

  • Eh, I haven't tried it in a while. I'll leave a waterbottle at work and try it out tomorrow. Your right that it will save some, and the tap water here isn't that bad.

    Somehow I got it in my head that I have to carry it back and forth all the time. Not sure how that came to be.

  • How much do you pay for food each month?

    Jump

  • I pay extra so I don't have to do that. Carrying a waterbottle and a lunchbox was a significant contributor to my negative mental health as a teenager, and my life is way more pleasant without them.

    In a similar vein, eating food that I don't want to eat is very stressful for me, and I generally can't know what I want to eat more than a couple of hours in advance. So eating food I prepared myself is usually rather disappointing.

    Third, food waste. I never eat the same meal more than once a week if I can help it. That means that, when I buy a tomato, I end up only using a single slice and letting the rest rot in the fridge because there really aren't all that many things I like that have tomatoes. The same goes for most ingredients. If I don't use it within 4 hours, I may as well toss it, cause im never going to eat it.

    I've tested out various ways of eating, and eating out often is cheaper compared to constantly re-buying ingredients for meals I'm not going to eat.

    Jump

  • Per day? Thats reasonable I guess. If that's per week im questioning where you live for it to be so cheap.

  • How much do you pay for food each month?

    Jump

  • $40 (CAD) / Day

    A bit expensive, but I'm both autistic and rather picky. I'm paying for my mental health there, not just food

    Generally I'll spend $15 on breakfast, $3 on a waterbottle at work, $20 for lunch, and sometimes I'll buy those discounted meals made with offcuts and leftovers from Sobey's. Around $10 - $15.

    On my days off I eat whatever I have available in my pantry when I remember to eat.

  • When do you think we'll be able to harness nuclear fusion as a viable source of energy?

    Jump

  • There are fusion plants that directly extract usable power using magnetic fields. It's not just a complicated steam power.

  • When do you think we'll be able to harness nuclear fusion as a viable source of energy?

    Jump

  • We're very close. I think it was only a few years ago that we first got more energy back than we put in. That's a big milestone.

  • Why is XYZ cooler than ABC?

    Jump

  • Because ABC sounds like a kids song, but XYZ sounds like tech-bros. While notorious for poor financial decisions, they definitely understand marketing.

  • Where is Linux not working well in your daily usage? Share your pain points as of 2026, so we can respectfully discuss

  • No fingerprint login. Its frustrating that in all cases I can use my fingerprint instead of a password except when booting up my laptop.

    Also, QOL and stability features would be nice. Buttons that dont work shouldn't be visible, for example, and getting a useful error message from many apps can be a headache.

    Recently, I had a problem where amy app using electron suddenly stopped working at all. When ran with the terminal, it showed 2 errors, neither of which told you how to fix the issue. Eventually I figured out that using flatseal to force all apps to use wayland fixed the issue and made things smoother as well.

  • I would like to know what native English speakers think of my writing?

    Jump

  • It's pretty good, easier to read than most native speakers I'd say.

    If I had to give a critique, I'd say the letters are rather round, so it can be hard to tell an 'a' from an 'o', but most people develop quirks like that in English so it's perfectly fine.

  • Menger cheese = string cheese

    Jump

  • Im bored and tired, so im going to write my reasoning out as I attempt to fall asleep.

    More cheese = more holes

    More cheese (volune) = more holes (volume)

    More holes (percentage) = less cheese (percentage)

    This cheese is refering yo the material, where the first is referring to the object. Different variables entirely. The first is a group that explicitly includes holes, while the latter explicitly doesn't.

    More cheese (volume) = less cheese (percentage)

    Idk man im tired.

  • The best part is they aren't even the ones sending them. They dont even ship to that country.
