What weird food or dishes do you eat regularly at home that you would never serve to someone else?

Jump

  • I'd love to answer OP, but that description somehow made me forget everything I've ever eaten.

    • Syncthing for Android discontinued

    Jump

  • It should have no issue continuing as it looks to be a hard fork. I use it too, so hopefully it just becomes the de facto app.

    • We're all on the spectrum

    Jump

  • Nearly irrelevant xkcd

    At least in software we know where the linchpins are on some level.

    • Equinunerous Sets

    Jump

  • Obviously there's the overall juxtaposition, but I really like the proportional dampness.

    • Probably

    Jump

  • Definitely the latter. I have a pet theory that 3rd rock is based on true events. Only an alien would be named, and physically manifested as, French Stewart.

    • xkcd 2999 - Bad Map Projection: The United Stralia

    Jump

  • I love xkcd and all, but I won't stand for great lake erasure

    • Magic Mineral

    Jump

  • Makes me wonder if it could be treated in some way to make it not-so-inhalable. Though maybe we have better synthetic alternatives by now.

    • A "poop butt" and a "shit ass" have completely different meanings, despite the similarity of the words that make them up.

    Jump

  • We say poo butt... What an odd thing to have in common with a stranger on the internet lmao

    • Is there a way to have a "watch later" or "favorite" list that works across different websites?

    Jump

  • The many tools around this are interesting. "Web clipping" I think is the generic phrase for it. I got kind of deep into it from of a desire to wrangle ADHD, and a bit of datahoarding and knowledge mapping. Omnivore is one I liked for text articles, and there's super niche applications like Zotero.

    • Bing translate got it spot on

    Jump

  • Yeah, I saw that synopsis under the knowyourmeme result lol. There's always that one friend/relative. Kind of funny there's never really been a phrase for it before.

    Still, I like the thought of it meaning everyone has that one food they really like and will steal a bite if anyone gets it.

    • Those are so ugly. Who would even buy these... oh, right.

    Jump

  • I think I've always equated them with the horrendous water shoes I remember as a kid. That, and the look just never said comfort to me. But I've felt some fomo in recent years lol

    • Those are so ugly. Who would even buy these... oh, right.

    Jump

  • Every now and then I get the feeling there might be something about them. Are they like supremely comfortable? Everyone I see wearing them nowadays seems chill and makes it look like they're comfy.

    Either that or the country has fully devolved into Walmart as Idiocracy foretold.

    • "But I prefer The Creature if it's all the same to you."

    Jump

  • "Call me Daddy"

    • Bing translate got it spot on

    Jump

  • I was wondering if "fanatic" ironically could have come from the French language. Looking at the etymology I'm now wondering if "fanum tax" stems from Latin.

    • TIL that the “S” in “Harry S. Truman” isn’t an abbreviation. His middle name was just “S”.

    Jump

  • Is this the genesis of British "humour"? Thomas, a Becket, even got the name in the time of Shakespeare.

    Waiting for somebody to eviscerate me over British history, cause all I know is Monty Python.

    • Google Is Stuffing Annoying Ads Into Its Terrible AI Search Feature

    Jump

  • Wait, for real? I really thought kagi had its own thing going on, and that was why people would pay for it. Not like a fully bespoke index, but I assumed it was more than that. I guess the "quality control" is what I had heard about.

    • [Discussion] AI companies using the fediverse to scrape data

    Jump

  • Yeah, I'm more worried about the output of AI getting involved than anything regarding the input, at least as far as a public forums go.

    • I'd also wear this VLC media player costume

    Jump

  • There's a larger cone man out of frame trying to coax the hatchlings across the street

    • Are NixOS / Guix SD / Gentoo good choices for development?

    Jump

  • Generally I agree. It feels kind of shoehorned in when desktop is your goal, like more of an afterthought or side effect of the overall focus.

    The main thing I hang on to is the code-specified configuration. I never got into managing dotfiles with arch, but that could be a better solution for many people. Especially along with btrfs, numerous containerization options, and whatnot.

    • Are NixOS / Guix SD / Gentoo good choices for development?

    Jump

  • I went from Arch to NixOS, so I can offer a bit there.

    You definitely won't want to rely on it until you know a good amount and get comfortable. Things can be made to work, but knowing how to get it done is the main thing most of the time.

    Regarding package availability, it's just a matter of a few oddly esoteric incantations and version controlled code, usually. Binaries are another story but still possible, and python is a special case of that.

    It has been an annoyance for me, but I've also learned a lot by getting things to work. If you use any niche python stuff you're bound to run into something. A bunch is already packaged and works fine, though. Either way there's a bit of extra nuance, which is more to learn.

    You don't have to start with NixOS and can feel it out using nix on any distro. It can be hard to tell if someone will vibe with it. All that said, it could be more than you're looking to get into, but you can ease into it if you're interested.
