Why would we? lol, we wouldn’t. But when management says “Help Delores with her app problem”, what are you gonna do?

No/Low-Code: Letting people who don’t know what they’re doing half-ass things poorly without understanding the first thing about it and leaving them completely incapable of fixing it when something goes wrong and then pissing off actual developers when they have to go into the Playskool interface to fix it.

By Grabthar’s Hammer, what a bargain.

I almost gave up on the dairy free cheese because Daiya was supposed to be the top-tier one. Tasted like vaguely cheese-flavored plastic strips, and I was not a fan. Also refused to melt until it was just below the temperature of the surface of the sun, and when it did, it was like a pile of glue.

On a whim, I bought the Kroger store brand (Simple Truth I think?) and it’s pretty damn good. Tastes like cheese, doesn’t feel like a mouth full of plastic, melts at a reasonable temperature, the whole works.

Maybe this is an old millennial problem, but I’ve had the same cell phone number for over 20 years. The number would actively link me to whatever. But that doesn’t really bother me too much.

What does bother me is that I get enough spam calls as it is. If you don’t carefully read the ToS/EULA/privacy policy when giving them your number for “verification”, you may be giving them permission for marketing calls or to have your number shared with their affiliates.

Paracord. You can weave it into just about anything. Can probably also weave a water filter.

I don’t live near the border, but one difference I notice when crossing over is the roads are always better. Doesn’t matter which state I cross over into; roads a better (ours are shit).

Very good. I’ve seen too many random Google Forms going around just harvesting emails / info to plug my details into any that I don’t click into from a legit/verified site. Not that I’m accusing OP of that, just that I don’t know where they got that form link.

Is that an official Google form and/or who am I providing my (required) email address to?

Is there an official Google page that links to this? Sorry but anyone can share a Google form.

So it’s not just me. Okay. Of the group, I was the only one who experienced that.

I’ve only tried salvia twice, and it always made me feel like my body was being twisted clockwise. Not for me.

I’d be curious to see how adding a few plants affects that.

Mostly short stories based on a single “what if” concept. Like, “What if everyone in the world had to have a unique name?” That may not be the premise of the story, but it factors into the characters and the world building and the story goes from there. Most of the stories don’t really “go” anywhere, but that’s not the point. The point is to spend a day in a world where the “what if” concept is true and see what society, people, and life is like.

The setting is usually ambiguously Earth but it’s never stated nor that they’re even humans or what time period. That gives it a lot of leeway.

It’s mostly just a creative outlet / thought exercises so I don’t even save half of them when I’m done.

Dumb phones. I’ve grown to hate smartphones, apps, and all that goes with them.

Ah, yeah. I don’t Discord or Twitter so wasn’t thinking about those. ArsTechnica would benefit as well. They still do the forum-style inline replies which is hard to follow.

Don’t most lemmy clients do that?

My saved items / wish list is full of stuff I want and could use. When I have some extra money, it’s difficult to choose one thing, and I get stuck in limbo. So given I could set limits and hit a button, I feel like it would help me.

That kind of puts the scene where Rick keeps reanimating in different universes in a new light. Forget the episode, but he keeps coming out of his lab in a different universe and they’re all fascist hellholes. He’s like “Is this, like, the default setting or something?”

Costs about 17 cents per loaf in electricity, and my power rate is pretty high at $0.25/kWh.

1. Blend: 7 minutes @ 100W (0.1 KW x 0.12 hours = 0.012 kWh). I’m being generous here since this is just an intermittent blend and the motor pulses slowly and doesn’t use 100 watts for the whole cycle).
2. Rest: 1 minute @ 0W
3. Mix: 25 minutes @ 100 W (0.1 KW X 0.42 hours = 0.042 kWh)
4. Proof 1: 58 minutes @ 50W (0.05 X 0.97 hours = 0.05 kWh)
5. Proof 2: 50 minutes @ 50W (0.05 x 0.83 hours = 0.04 kWh)
6. Bake: 50 minutes @ 650 W (0.65 x 0.83 hours = 0.54 kWh)
7. Keep Warm: I never use this, but up to an hour at probably 100 watts. (0.1 KW x 1 hour = 0.1 kWh)

Total: 0.684 kWh x $0.25/kWh = $0.17 per loaf ($0.20 per loaf if I use the keep warm feature for the full hour).

For comparison, the regular oven is 4400 watts and takes 10 minutes just to pre-heat. That’s $0.18 cents in electricity cost before I even bake the bread.

Nice. I haven’t had much luck thrifting the last few years.
