But this is SOO tedious. The annoying bit is it could just be one person who set it up over a weekend, has a script that they plug into when wanting to be a troll, and now all admins/mods have to do more work.
You're fighting the good fight! So annoying that folks are doing it on freaking lemmy.
I was going to say "Oh you can potty train any mammal!"
Then I remembered Pandas exist... sooo I'll just say "Most mammals have had examples of them being potty trained"
So he looks litter trained based on the box, so my "guess" is it's to help keep any related stains to this carpet, same you don't wanna put you litter box on a carpet for a cat, also if all his toys/food are on the rug, he'll probably stay on the rug most of the time.
Just a guess though.
I mean at the risk of being "whooshed"
The rug is to prevent staining the carpet, and if I was them I would actually have a plastic layer between the rug/carpet.
The hay mat is going to be MONCHED.
No, it's presenting as the "primary" solution, which it is.
So start by throwing money at the problem, then see what's left.
Research seems to show that a lot of people just need a small step up to get back on track.
So you basically just did the meme.
Some days, or weeks, it's enough!
Maybe shake it up from time to time with something else from the book, but I understand where some months eating enough to keep the stomach pains away is just all that can be done.
Oh I wish it was mine, then I'd be good at the game XD I'll try to let them know though!
Yeah I like mixing it personally!
Like I have fresh sour dough bread I made this morning. I then like to use said bread to spoon in store bought curries, pasta sauces, peanut butter, and jelly. Or sometimes I'll use it as bread for a frozen fish patty to make a sandwich. I also have a big things of rice and beans I made that I will sometimes just plop into a tortilla and call a meal.
I would steal this if I wasn't allergic to soy XD
Well maybe you can sometimes stretch your wings into "Open can of black beans, drain it, and mix in ranch" territory sometimes!
Ahh this is not a "go buy" something recipe.
This is a "If you are thinking of not eating because you feel like you have nothing to eat, eat this instead"
100%, some of these recipes are "scavenge for food with things in the back of your fridge/pantry"

Some days, you need a reminder that eating anything is better than eating nothing.
by Rachel A. Rosen and Zilla Novikov || Food you can make so you don't die.
Eating the proper amount is hard. Eating when you have low time, money, mental energy, or education on cooking is even harder.
This book assumes nothing. Do you know how to turn on your stove? You are properly prepared to use this cookbook.

Yeah I tried making a sour dough starter twice from scratch and it didn't have any oomph to it.
So I just bought one and suddenly boom, perfect XD
Oh happy to hear that it's valid advice! I got it from a speaker at a video game making thing I went to years ago that stuck with me.
Talking about it I suddenly have the urge to do it again xD It was very satisfying to compare last weeks drawing to this weeks, and the first drawing in the book to the last one. I can only imagine how satisfying it would be if I stuck with it for a year XD
I mean I'm not great in any way, but the way I did that I found very satisfying was find a tutorial where the end product is something you like and will take under an hour, or heck 10 minutes, idc.
Then follow it. The first time it'll probably come out garbage. That's okay! Think about which parts you did wrong.
Then the next day, follow the tutorial again. Then the next day, again. Each day try things differently to get closer to what the tutorial wants you to do.
After about a month I was super happy with what I drew and realized that if you just draw, you'll get better.
Same! Some of the recipes make it sound like you need 6 special tools and a climate controlled area. Freaking internet blogs trying to justify their existence by over complicating things.
Oh yeah some even let you play in browser now. Crazy how it takes seconds, and most peoples phones can even play most everything game cube and earlier.
My two are:
Making sourdough. I personally always heard like this weird almost mysticism around making it. But I bought a $7 starter from a bakery store, and using just stuff in my kitchen and cheap bread flour I've been eating fresh sourdough every day and been super happy with it. Some loafs aren't super consistent because I don't have like temperature controlled box or anything. But they've all been tasty.
Drawing. I'm by no means an artist, but I always felt like people who were good at drawing were like on a different level. But I buckled down and every day for a month I tried drawing my favorite anime character following an online guide. So just 30 minutes every day. The first one was so bad I almost gave up, but I was in love with the last one and made me realize that like... yeah it really is just practice. Years and years of it to be good at drawing things consistently, quickly, and a variety of things. But I had fun and got something I enjoyed much faster than I expected. So if you want to learn to draw, I would recommend just trying to draw something you really like following a guide and just try it once a day until you are happy with the result.
I just think this little youtuber is cool, his best videos are reviewing free steam games.
eBikes would be best vehicle during apocalypse, right?
Since gasoline because unusable after awhile, most cars will become obstacles and block up roads.
So we of course want something that can zip around the roads!
The main advantages I see are:
-
Peddle when out of juice
-
Peddling charges the batteries, so in an emergency you can turn on the battery
-
The batteries can reasonably be charged by solar panels that a lot of houses have.
-
Gets around all the blocked roads.
-
Generally easier to repair.
-
The distance travelled on a full battery is absurd
I don't expect any movies to put their heroes on an eBike, but they should!
IDK just thought you'd appreciate my dumb thought XD Any other reasons why during an apocalypse you should find an ebike?
We talk a lot about enshittification of technology, so tell me about technology that is getting better!
I personally love the progress of electric scooters. I've been zooming around on a 400$ escooter for a year and it works so well. It has a range of around 20 miles and top speed of 15 mph, so it works just super well for my uses, and 10 years ago scooters with that range/speed/price were no where near a thing.
Would love to see what niche/under appreciated creators are out there! Also what your favorite videos are of theirs!
Mine is this guy who creates songs based on Age of Empires 2 SFX and content creators/pros. So he's SUPER niche and will probably never become big, but I still adore him.
Catchy song made with AOE2 sfx
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywT_qsTPfwM
A totally legit love song about how much a pro named MBL loves another player called Hoang.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPWPTnnIZ2U
A content creator named T90 told a story about how he got absolutely rinsed in a game, and it was memorialized as a banger.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suXZqC3VrUw
So yeah! Show me your tiny content creators that you adore!
I just think it's so cool that anyone can just make custom toys now and sell them.
Yes a lot of stalls just sell the same thing, but yesterday I went to a fair and the 3 big stalls were so unique.
1st stall was all about high precision toys. Like I can't explain how smooth the toys were. Talking to him he was all about making them as dialed in as possible with these tiny super delicate gears and moving wings on toys, or puzzles that glide like they are oiled off each other. I'm too lazy to go find the thing I bought as I was walking around the house playing with it.
2nd stall was all about large cartoony ones using a printer that can do up to 5 colors! I ended up getting a little dino!
Then the last one was a guy who only printed things he personally designed! With all his pieces being toys that are giant version of lego things like his giant lego light sabers that are straight out of lego star wars
! (off his website as I didn't buy anything from him)
It's just so cool that these people can build their own little toy factories and make a variety of toys either in special ways, or make their own unique toys. I know it's not star treck replicators, but it's still just exciting to me.
I actually owned 3d printers in the past, but the effort to dial them in just wasn't super worth it to me, since it felt like an all day activity to get my cheap printer to print my little $2 toy. Would much rather spend $5 to get a much better version off of someone else who spends all day working to make the print quality ace and put their own spin on the toys.
Is the idea of having people compete for life changing/saving amounts of money, then have it crash down on their head for our amusement, something that should end for you?
Mr. Beast of course does things like "Stay in this room for 100 days to win a million dollars" but he is mostly just turning an old format into internet. Biggest Loser of course made dozens of people drastically change their bodies in irreversible ways, just to give one of them money. Survivor once again has people compete for months in brutal fashion with only one walking away with a prize. Mr. Beast is more or less just stealing Big Brother whole sale for most of his contest videos, but making them click bait.
Then of course we have things like Deal or No deal, which is mostly just offering people a hope of a life changing amount of money, then the chance for a better life vanish before them case by case. It still seems a lot less brutal than the other three, but still rather dark when you realize we are watching someone be given the hope to get out of debt and buy a house have it taken from them case by case.
Try not to focus on Mr. Beast too much since everyone is talking about him, he's just the latest example of giant game show so felt like I need to mention him. I'm mostly curious how you all feel about large cash prize game shows in general!
(I do love game shows with bs prizes. Bring on Task Master! Win that golden head so you can put it in your garage to be stolen by another contestant! Also Game Changer, go watch game changer. They all get paid regardless of if they win or not and every episode is super creative.)
One side of my back yard is 6 foot vinyl fence post, then the other side and back are chest high chain link fence that are older than me and have concrete blocks under the ground, so would be a giant pain to remove.
Also I looked up and wires were laid right next to the concrete bases. So I "really" do not want to have to remove them.
The fence was installed before I was born, and the wires laid when I was in elementary school. So don't blame me for the silliness of it please.
Would it work if I just removed the panels from between the chain link posts, then slipped the hollow vinyl posts over them, and connected them with the vinyl panels? I would have to buy different distance panels to make it work, but that seems easier than tearing them out, then digging new holes for the new posts.
Or any other suggestions to make it look nice and not have to try and dig large concrete bases that are next to wires out of the ground?
Weird scenario, but I wanna do a treat every hour for 12 hours.
Anyone know of a good feeder or something that can do that? I could buy two 6 slot feeders and have them pick up after each other, but that seems a bit absurd.
So imagine this:
you owe X amount of money, and fleeing the country makes it vanish
Or you accidentally are given X amount of money, and fleeing the country is only way to keep it

I want to work on complimenting other men more! Specifically my goal is to compliment people on things they clearly worked hard on or put in effort, cause it sucks if you work super hard or care about something and then don't feel like anyone notices.
So I'm going to try and compliment people who:
Have really well done and unique tattoos
Are older but super athletic (It's harder and more thankless, since when you're young and athletic you're usually in sports and get lots of praise. At least that was my experience)
Have super sharp outfits
Have really nice shoes (nice shoes are expensive and keeping them clean is legit hard)
what are other good compliments we should give each other?
EDIT: Oh and I still remember when I got a compliment on what I was getting while grocery shopping. So if I see like real good food in there I'll try to throw out a "looks like you're cooking up some good stuff"
Update on looking for a cheap escooter that can go 10+ miles!
Hi everyone!
Few months ago I asked about finding a good cheap escooter: https://lemmy.world/post/15970361
After watching this review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsC8Fd7Hb1w&t=472s
I ended up buying this scooter!
https://gotrax.com/products/seated-electric-scooter
On Thursday did my longest trip with it and did nearly 13 miles, and it still had over 25% left. I weigh 140 pounds so me being light might be why it had such a good range.
Otherwise I use it a ton to go grocery shopping every couple days, get to dr appointments, and the like. It's wonderful for little me who works from home and is within 4 miles of most things I need.
Also I have a room mate who doesn't have a car for financial reasons, and they've fallen in love with it as well for running errands under 2 miles so they've mentioned they might get one once they get a bit more money so they don't have to borrow mine. Only complaint is I might try to make the basket bigger, as it's a tad small!
But yeah just wanted to throw out my experience for anyone else looking for a cheap escooter!
So my mom has been saying for awhile how she wished she could play Hogwarts legacy, and my older sister just replaced her gaming PC. So my sister sent her old pc to my mom. Nothing crazy, but meets minimum system requirements! My mom is now kind of speed running learning about gaming and it's been amusing. I just think these are adorable.
-
She complained that she couldn't find the game for sale for PC anywhere, she could only find it for XBOX and PS. She was looking on amazon, and I had to point her towards steam, and help her setup an account for steam.
-
She happened to purchase it while it was on sale and she was super confused why it was randomly on sale! Had to explain how steam works. She's disabled and the $60 was the extent of her fun money for the month, so getting it on sale was a huge deal to her.
-
Complaining at how long it took to download the game off wifi when she was ready to play RIGHT NOW. She kept asking if we could use an Ethernet cable to make it go faster, but her PC was like 40 feet from the nearest jack and we didn't have a long enough ethernet cable (No I wasn't driving home to my house to look for one, and no I wasn't buying her one. Love you momma! You gotta wait!)
-
She realized she hates mouse and keyboard, so used the money she saved from the sale to buy a little controller from walmart.
-
She talked about how much she likes that because she's on "story mode" she can skip puzzles/challenges she thinks are stupid. Considering there are games I never beat as a kid because of a specific mini game/challenge I couldn't beat, I resonated with that. Back when we were kids if there was a quick time event you couldn't beat, we quit the game!
-
A few weeks later she talked about how she was super happy to finally find a youtuber that would give walk through/tips/advice on how to do things in a not annoying way. The one she likes are basically "Here is a 30 second clip of doing this specific thing in this room". She is not a fan of 30 minute lets plays with intros/outros.
-
Complaining about long load times between rooms, and quests that make her go through multiple loading zones. No comment, she's just right to complain.
All her revelations were super relatable and I just thought it was cute that at an older age she went through modern gaming transition in a few weeks, and hit on emotions we all basically hit.
She's super creative with instant mashed potato's and using them makes:
Potato patties
Black bean burgers
Shepard's pie
I actually made some black bean burgers using the recipe and they came out great!
Suggestions for my sister with health issues! (no two wheels)
TLDR: Looking for a 3+ wheeled vehicle that can be locked up like a bike and maybe taken on a bus.
So my sister has health issues that means she can't drive/get a license, and that she'd most likely fall over on a scooter. She mostly walks/busses around, but the bus system is closed on sundays and makes life difficult.
So yeah, wondering if there is anything that would be allowed on sidewalks/bike lanes with 3+ wheels and a bit more speed than walking so she can increase her range that she can get to, but like be able to be chained to a bike rack.
IDK bit of a stretch, but maybe you all know something!
BIOS version: 6332
Motherboard:
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/6FvZxr/asus-prime-a320m-k-micro-atx-am4-motherboard-prime-a320m-k
CPU:
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Qk2bt6/amd-ryzen-9-5950x-34-ghz-16-core-processor-100-100000059wof
According to part picker the cpu should work with version 5862
So it seats nicely and machine powers on, but then the lights on my mouse/keyboard flash on, then off. Then after about a minute the PC turns off.
According to part picker my power supply can handle what I have attached with the new CPU, but I don't really know how to test that.
Already took out the cmos battery and reset.
Putting in my old cpu works just fine, so I didn't brick anything.
Any ideas?
I make gravy for potatoes/rice using bouillon cubes, but IDK what to put over my biscuits!
Any suggestions? (preferably on cheaper side so can eat it on the regular)
