My husband works at an architecture firm. They exclusively use #2 in 3 different colors. My husband has gotten in the habit of putting a few in his pocket during the day while he works and emptying his pockets when he gets home. We have WAY TOO MANY PENS!!!! I've been bagging them up and giving them away!! They are nice pens tho... very good for drafting/drawing/etc. I just don't need 300 of them. Beware that the blue ones tend to explode the most.
I second the freezer meals! What I like to do is make things that I can make a very large batch of to make food prep easier when I want a quick healthy meal. My favorites to make are chicken pot pie, pesto, kale pesto, pulled pork (not healthy), and falafel. All of these things take lots of time and or ingredients. So when you make them, you make a big massive batch and then divide them into meal portions for freezing. This way all I have to do is grab 1 portion of say pot pie, thaw it out in hot water or in the fridge the day before, pop it in the oven with some pie crust or crescent rolls on top for 25 min and BAM, I'm eating stuff from my garden in the middle of winter with little to no effort!
I LOVE this sweet potato and peanut stew we found. We originally tried it when looking for easy camping meals, but it's so good we just keep making it. I'm not even vegan, but it's so hearty and filling. People we make it for often ask if we're sure there's no meat in it. Best part is it only takes 30 minutes to make and uses relatively cheap ingredients. I like to add extra kale to make it thicker and make some wheat rolls to go with it:

I also have dialed down the cheese intake, which is probably for the best. But if I want to indulge I have 2 options: take lactase pills or select cheese that does not contain lactose. I particularly enjoy the Cabot seriously sharp cheddar for my go-to cheesening.
I really enjoyed this video, but one thing bugs me a bit. Why does he specifically call attention to Tesla as a brand and not Luminar? If he's trying to be scientific about the technology, it should be "lidar vs imaging". Or if he does want to call out brands, "Luminar vs Tesla". Not that I'm defending Tesla, but this just seems weird to me when his videos are typically more educational.
At my school, they showed a video about all the different parts of the cell where each part was a character with a different "job" and looking back it was pretty racist. I specifically remember that the Lysosome was a garbage man with a Mexican accent. Very cool science video for children... very cool 🫤
Welcome! When I quit, I wondered how long it would take before I went back. But I love it here so much that I never felt the need. Feel free to restart your subs as communities here on Lemmy!
I've had a different but similar issue. I have a VPN I log into so I can remotely access my work computer. If the VPN is on, YouTube won't show me specific content that I know is usually there. It doesn't tell me I can't watch anything or tell me to turn it off, but some content is just missing 🤷
I hadn't thought about it, but that would truly be the ideal situation. Imagine going to the store and all the eggs are from local's extra stock. I know it couldn't currently happen that way based on what regulations allow, but I can certainly imagine.
The fact that the upfront cost can be prohibitive and actual effort is involved but people are still doing it should tell you just how bad things have gotten. Plus, the more people that do it, the more they can teach others and help them out. I know people who got chickens after a neighbor got chickens and they saw how beneficial it was and if their neighbors can do it they certainly could as well.
They may actually be hurting themselves in the long run. The amount of people I know that have decided to get chickens since the pandemic has increased far more than I ever expected it would. And if you've ever had your own chickens before, you know that there's plenty to go around and you share with friends and neighbors. So not only are they permanently losing more customers to people getting chickens, they're also losing customers to friends of people that have chickens. Plus all these people are getting much higher quality eggs from happy chickens, so why would they ever go back? I know not everyone can, but, the more people that start raising chickens the better!
Lol I just ate a bowl yesterday. It's one of those nostalgic foods for me that I just want sometimes. Especially good when you're sick or on a cold morning to warm you up.
