  • For a savory breakfast, my go-to is tofu scramble. I keep my spices premixed in a mason jar so it's really easy. Oil in a pan, crumble up the tofu, add spices and a can of black beans. If I'm feeling fancy or have veggies I want to use up, I'll fry those up a bit before adding the tofu.

    For dessert-breakfast, (vegan) waffles with maple syrup and fresh strawberries is my Saturday morning staple.

    If anyone's curious, here's the spice mix I use for my tofu scramble (quantities listed are good for around 6-8 blocks of tofu):

     
        
    4 Tbsp nutritional yeast
    2 tsp chili powder
    2 tsp ground cumin
    2 tsp black salt (also called kala namak)
    1.5 tsp turmeric (for colour)
    1/2 tsp garlic powder
    
    
      
  • "Latte art"

    Jump
  • Barista here, I do latte art even on the to-go orders for two reasons;

    1. Practice, it's a lot less stressful to practice new techniques or variations on latte art when you know you'll cover it up with a lid, so who cares if it's messed up?
    2. It's fun!
  • You never knowingly met a Linux user. Statistically speaking, you probably have.

    The issue is that OS-preference is not very common as a small talk topic. This is why you should name drop your fav distro in every conversation.

  • I work in a café, so I really only pay for my coffee on my days off.

    I average maybe half a pound of beans per month for home brewing, so let's say $20 for a nice bag from a local roaster (in Canada-bucks). Ten or so dollars in V60 filters is enough to last me most of a year, so add a dollar a month. I also like checking out cafés, so add $15/$20 in random café visits, and I'd typically spend anywhere from $20 to $40ish per month.

  • Since when are 3 year olds being sent to school?

  • Like I said, not an expert haha (thanks for explaining what mTLS is because I had assumed I knew but truly didn't)

    That being said, I found a reddit thread detailing what seems to be the same issue as you, with OP linking a Stack Exchange post with their solution.

  • Using the name of a place to refer to its residents is super common and widely-understood. It's a form of metonym.

    Another example of metonymy would be "White House cracks down on crime", obviously the White House is a building and cannot enforce laws. "White House" in this situation is a metonym for the President and/or their administration.

    Hope this helps clear up your confusion! 😊

  • What happens to chicks is an intrinsic part of egg farming, though.

  • After some searching, maybe following the instructions on this blog post would work?

    I'm by no means an expert though, so take my suggestions with a grain of salt.

  • You don't need even near the amount of male hatchlings that get produced for reproductive purposes. The vast majority of male chicks on egg farms get ground up.

    Also, from an animal rights standpoint, "hey we don't kill all of them, we need some males in order to subjugate their offspring to cruel conditions!" is more of an argument against egg farming than for it.

  • I'm pretty sure you need to install it using "CA certificate" rather than the "VPN and app user certificate" option.

  • EndeavourOS is my life self-censoring to be nice.

  • Also, doesn't Canada have a king now? Do they still recognise the UK royalty as heads of state, or did that change

    OP isn't talking about our old gal Lizzie, they're talking about the queen of Canada Romana Didulo, who leads a QAnon-based cult and tours around Canada with them in an RV. Here's an excerpt from her Wikipedia article about her claims to the throne:

    Though Didulo did not initially explain the basis for her claim to be the Monarch of Canada, she later clarified that she had been "appointed" to that position by an American named David J. Carlson, purportedly the "Commander-In-Chief" and "King" of the United States. Didulo claims that Carlson appointed her after she led in 2017 a mission against the Chinese communist military, who were allegedly occupying Canada in underground tunnels, where they were producing adrenochrome, trafficking humans and planning to start World War III by attacking the United States.

  • I was reading, thinking "this is definitely New Brunswick" before recognizing your username :P

    I'm originally from Bathurst, hotboxing a Honda Civic in the McDonald's parking lot was essentially a rite of passage.

    Sidenote: the culture of driving stoned and/or drunk is so crazy prevalent around here. I was pretty reckless as a teenager, thankfully I now know better but a lot of people I knew back then never grew out of it.

  • The background of all my devices is a gradient version of the bisexual flag, so I guess that'd be my fav gradient!

  • Kubernetes can also be known as K8s

    So many posts at /c/selfhosted@lemmy.world make a lot more sense to me now, thanks!

  • I find it so cool that you've been vegan for 24 years, as a younger vegan (7 years) I thank you for suffering through groceries with one brand of soy milk and maybe some tofu (if you're lucky) so that we can live in this world were I have access to vegan fudgesicles at the local grocery store.

    I'm curious though, because veganism has definitely been a point of contention in my past few relationships; how do you and your wife manage meals? Do you do separate meals, or is it more of a "she's vegan at home" type situation?

  • This is probably a more helpful TV reference than what I was going to link, which is King of the Hill S09E03 "Death Buys A Timeshare"

  • (Also, as a footnote, Espresso shots die after 5-10 seconds; the crema just dissipates after then, making the shot taste acidic)

    Espresso shots "dying" within 10 seconds is a myth, apparently started by Starbucks' training funnily enough. The flavour of a shot definitely dies down as it gets cooler and the crema dissipates, but it's a matter of minutes rather than seconds before a shot tastes bad.

    Heck it takes more than 10 seconds to get the drink to the clients in every café I've worked in. If espresso dies after 10 seconds, I have never served a good espresso. I've also apparently never had good espresso at work, because I swear every damn time I pull a shot for myself a client comes right in before I can take a sip :P
