  • I didn't believe how addicting Churu was till today.

  • I assume you've tried shredded/gravy wet foods? In my experience they're much more popular than the patés. My understanding is your vet is totally correct: it's really important for cats to get moisture from their food, so it's worth it to keep trying to find something your cat will eat!

  • ublock Origin can get rid of Cookie Banners

    Jump

  • I mean, it's not like it's a time-consuming thing to do. I haven't checked in with everyone, but at least one person is still using the setup two years later and is grateful for it so I call that a win. But my original point was about not making assumptions that people who use ublock are going to be tech savvy.

    Jump

  • I've installed ublock on the phones of some very non-techie older adults in my life, specifically because they're non-techie and never would have even known ublock existed otherwise. Granted these folks are definitely not on Lemmy either, but point is there's a wide range of users out there

  • According to the affidavit, Bamigboye also said that he has PTSD from being kidnapped in his native Nigeria.

    I don't have PTSD from being previously kidnapped, but probably would have likely done the same thing.

  • Stinky ginky? Nah, yellow fellow.

  • Episodic FTW!

    Jump

  • I do this (I watch the first season when it comes out and then if I really liked it I'll wait until the whole series is complete so I can binge it in one go, and if I just thought it was just okay I'll watch the seasons as they come out because I don't care that much if I miss stuff on account it forgetting what happened previously) and I know it screws with viewership numbers when it comes time to decide what to renew/axe but when the alternative is rewatching the entire series every time a new season comes out...

  • DS9 is a funny example because (relative to contemporary shows TNG and Voyager, but other TV of that era too) they oftentimes doesn't wrap up the philosophical/moral/ethical conundrum neatly by end of episode and leave things more open or unresolved or ambiguous, which is simultaneously dissatisfying and refreshing IMO. Also, I think some of their best episodes from a conceptual perspective ended up a bit clunky in execution, like they don't have enough time to properly explore the subject at hand in only one episode so they squeeze it into a more superficial plot that then as a result feels a bit drawn out (also Star Trek dialogue usually ranges from mid to meh--with a few standout lines sprinkled in--which unsurprisingly taints the acting too). There are a number of single-episode plots that were good but could have been great if they'd given them more time to marinade over multiple episodes, but they already had a huge number of balls in the air for an episodic show in terms of plot and character development, so maybe that would have been disastrous to attempt idk.

    Why is bicycle riding so controversial in America?

    Jump

  • You can thank the vehicular cycling movement of the 1970s for selling the idea that bicycles should operate like cars on American roadways.

    (To anyone at all interested in this topic, I highly recommend reading the linked article for more context. Or watching the Not Just Bikes video in Boomer Humor Doomergod's comment if that's more your speed.)

  • Jalapenos have become victims of their own success.

    They're so popular and mainstream now that buyers (especially food processors) have started demanding high levels of consistency in terms of spice; Tostitos and the like want to ensure that every batch of salsa and such they mass produce is going to have the same spice level, which is understandable. Unfortunately this drive for increased consistency has led to an overall weakening of flavor, similar to what happened to produce like tomatoes and apples once industrialized farming and food processing created demands for longer shelf lives, consistency in appearance, etc., and like tomatoes and apples, the jalapenos you buy at most stores nowadays are going to be much weaker in flavor than they were in the past.

    Jalapenos not sourced from these industrial-oriented seed companies are going to vary much more in terms of spice level based on growing conditions, like temperature and rainfall. There even exists nowadays the "nadapeno," which has jalapeno flavor but minimal spice. You can also remove the seeds and veins of the pepper before eating it, which makes a huge difference in reducing spice levels. Picking them earlier and growing them in "ideal" conditions for lessened spice is trickier, but can also help.

  • That privilege is heavily dependent on your maintaining a strong garlic harvest. The first year that slips (or your basil/oregano perform too well) you're getting downgraded to nonbinary. Then there's a three year grace period before you're sent straight to full-blown woman. So make sure to fertilize your alliums well!
