Thank you, best wishes ❤️

Good to know. Thanks i appreciate your help

We have made so much soup lol. Hoping to make gumbo soon just don't have enough ingredients. Might make jambalaya instead since we have most of those those ingredients.

Does jambalaya usually take thyme? I don't remember adding it before but it's been in a number of recipes

Thank you. My country is in the title (USA). Hoping the interview goes well. Brain hasn't been working very well (part of my injuries was a concussion).

 

I guess the process is probably similar in other countries but included my country anyway since I don't know enough about this stuff. Feel free to respond even if you're in another country!

I received injuries from using a product that is available internationally, but not sure how many or where they have actually sold. Later this week an investigator is going to come to my home to take pictures of the product. I feel like they must be doing something else too? Maybe an interview? It seems weird to come all the way out here for some photographs. If it matters, the manufacturer itself is located in a different country.

Thanks for any information provided!

Understandable! The only reason i have it on is for medical calls

[–] acetanilide@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

I agree with you wholeheartedly except for that it costs me more than $100

I can taste this comment and it's delicious

I've been saying this for so long. Don't get me wrong, some films do make sense to have sex scenes. But there are so many that either have hardcore (for TV) sex scenes or just random full nudity that makes it nearly impossible to watch with anyone other than my partner or close friends.

Like if I recommend a film or show to someone and completely forget that it had sex or even just nudity in it, it usually wasn't important to the story. On the other hand, it may have made sense to include in the film but it was so terribly done that I promptly blocked it out.

The other issue is that it has become increasingly difficult to find any shows that either don't include sex scenes, or don't have ridiculous levels of violence, or whatever else is difficult for me to deal with when I just want something easy to watch that's not a kid's movie (although kid's movies have their own set of issues).

Streaming services don't even make it easy to find something to watch - they show you the same stuff over and over, or they pretend that everything is in English when they include so many other languages in the selections. If I am unable to pay attention to the captions then I would prefer to have something in English without trying a bunch of different shows first. I mean I guess this is partly (mainly?) my fault since I've failed to learn another language despite years of studying. But I think it just irritates me that they lie about it more than anything.

Idk I am off topic now and this has turned into a really long comment that probably doesn't say anything that hasn't already been said in this thread.

Brilliant! Subscribed.

Tonight we are going Mexican (probably more Tex Mex) with some soup!

[–] acetanilide@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

This is true. And there are so many choices too... definitely going to look for some new things I haven't had before!

[–] acetanilide@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

That looks tasty! I don't think I've had chickpeas 🤔

Side note, the first recipe that came up when I searched for it said it reminded the author of...Texas?? Fascinating lol

 

I can and do eat cheese. I just am tired of having it be a major part of everything I eat.

Tonight I made some angel hair pasta, which was delicious. Cheese was involved of course!

 

I get wrong numbers all the time in other languages. I only speak English fluently. The languages I studied previously were mainly in writing so speaking other languages is quite intimidating for me.

Top languages in my area: Spanish (mainly Mexico and Puerto Rico), Vietnamese, Korean, and Russian. I've also encountered Igbo, Yoruba, Arabic, and Haitian Creole.

Learning how to say something like "I only speak English" would be helpful as well.

I did find this website but I have no way of knowing how accurate it is:

Comments on a Facebook post. The original post is not shown. The first comment, which 6 people liked, reads, "Everyone has prejudice. It's normal. Every single person on the planet. It is a conditioned response to your environment." The OP replies, "that doesn't make it ok." The commenter responds, "you are mistaking prejudice with racism. They are not the same.Prejudice is earned. It's learned. Life experience plays a big role. Racism is just treating or hating someone for racial reasons. Big differences. Yes racism is wrong." Four people liked that comment. The OP then says, "prejudice is an umbrella term and I'mnot only talking aboutracism, which is why I used it."

A continuation of the same comment chain described in the previous image. Part of the OP's last comment is visible at the top. The final comment from the commenter says, "sorry you are wrong. Sad."

I'm sorry I didn't use different colors when I marked the names out. These comments are between the same two people. It was in a neighborhood group discussing a recent neighborhood-wide survey.

Nobody ever liked the OP's comments by the way, so I guess the whole area agrees with these enlightening definitions of racism and prejudice.

 

Update 2024-10-27: Made it to my new home! Thanks to everyone for your input. Winter is closing in and I think we are well prepared!

Hello,

I have never lived in a snowy place. Where I am now we usually get enough ice to make it slick and it shuts the region down. We live in the center of the country so depending where exactly we end up we probably won't have an entire mountain to drive over...probably.

I am moving to be either in Denver area or Minneapolis area. What do I do with our cars?

I have a small 4WD SUV (I don't know how to drive in areas that actually require 4WD). Our other car is a slightly larger SUV. Both have pretty low clearance.

We currently have all season tires. Do we need to get special tires or chains? How do I learn to drive with the chains? Also, does everyone just have 2 sets of tires laying around?

What about vehicle fluids? IIRC viscosity is different in different climates, is that just oil I'd need to worry about?

And are you supposed to heat your car or whatever? I know they do that in super cold places but not sure about Minneapolis.

The areas we are looking at are in and around the major cities, although if we end up in Minnesota there's a chance we will be in a more rural area or in a place where we need to drive a long distance because housing is expensive.

If anyone knows how much longer we have to get there before the roads become treacherous this winter that would be helpful. I think we have til end of September to be safe, is that usually true?

Any other tips are much welcomed and appreciated. I don't really have anyone I can ask and the internet is pretty full of AI BS now.

 

Hello,

I noticed that everytime I go to a mechanic or someone new gets in my car, the bluetooth autoconnects to their phone. How can I restrict access?

I tried to look it up but could only find how to turn bluetooth off completely.

Along the same lines, does anyone happen to know how to restrict my phone from auto connecting to various cars? I thought they had to ask.

My car is a 2019 Nissan Rogue and my phone is a Pixel 8 with Android 14.

 

DAE have problems with ACH transactions at Amplify Credit Union?

Since I opened my account a few months ago I have had so many problems - Amplify being unable to send me their own security codes, third parties not recognizing the bank or its routing number, and inability to complete ACH transactions.

The most recent issue is that a third party recognizes the bank, but says "there was a problem processing" the transaction. Luckily I have an account at a different bank and was able to pay them.

What can I do to get this resolved? I see a lot of good reviews for the bank but haven't seen any reports of this issue, but surely it can't be just me? Did I make a mistake opening this account with them?

 

I loved playing Berenstein Bears with this controller!

 

More health than fitness but I couldn't find a could place to ask. Basically, I'm not sure where to start with all of this. All of these are from my physicians due to various health conditions I have. I know I need to ramp up to them. All of these are per day.

Also, I'm really looking for ideas, not medical advice, but just fyi I will definitely be presenting a plan to my doc to make sure it works in the context of my medical stuff.

  • 150g protein (currently I don't think I even eat 30g)
  • 10g salt (no idea how much I eat but I take 1.5g salt tablets per day and my family historically doesn't eat much salt)
  • 4-5L fluids (I might drink about 1L...maybe. I can use high water content foods to achieve this goal)
  • Increase brushing to 2x with electric toothbrush (currently use a manual one)
  • Floss 1-2x (i suck at this one)
  • Waterpik (i never do this)
  • Low intensity exercise 2-3 min (not a typo...will increase later) (in a former life I did a lot of high intensity exercises so this is very boring and feels like a waste of time)
  • Lose 30lbs (currently holding steady) (this one is obviously not per day lol) (this one is also less important at this time)

Those are the main ones. Where would you start? And how the hell do you fit an entire 150g of protein in in one day??

My physicians haven't been super helpful with the practical side of things. Also I can't afford a dietician so that's part of what's made this so difficult.

More context that might be of help:

  • I generally eat 3 meals per day, sometimes snacks but not usually
  • I drink mainly electrolyte beverages and water
  • My mental health has sucked for awhile so everything feels impossible
  • My proteins are usually chicken, beef, pork, and sometimes nuts/beans. I also like dairy-based protein drinks. Although I like seafood, my family really doesn't so I have to limit that.
  • No food allergies or religious requirements
  • My range of motion is not limited. I basically just need to keep my heart rate down.
  • Sitting up for long periods is hard, so I've been thinking about starting there so that I can have more fluids more easily
  • I am only allowed to do recumbent exercises or things laying on my back. I can also sit on the edge of a tub or pool. But walking/running/standing exercises are out for now
  • Reminder apps and charts are not really helpful for me, but I would be willing to try more of them
  • I'm an American and we do not weigh our food lol. Even if I started that I have no idea how I would calculate this stuff. 😬 Tips/resources are welcome, though

Thanks for any ideas!

 

Tried to research this but it only told me how to create one, not view it.

My problem is that anytime there is a long image, namely a scrolling screenshot, it is blurry and unreadable when I try to view it. This includes when I just zoom in as well as when I save the image to my own photos and try to view it from there.

So how am I supposed to do it? These (seemingly) aren't low quality images because it happens every time - on here, text messages, search results - and no one else ever says anything about it.

There are no issues viewing other types of images and my phone is updated.

Also, I'm on Android.

 

I have never seen this before. Usually once I click my preferences the screen just goes away. What's the difference between those websites and this one?

I see a few selections for desktop, but the only mobile options I have found so far only work with chrome. I have used a search engine and looked on the add-ons page as well as on GitHub.

Basically the goal is to remove facebook posts that are about certain topics using keywords. Other features are cool too. Any suggestions?
