I've chosen an outrageous option and just started buying books from used book stores, scanning library books and downloading some to my jellyfin.

If I can't trust the internet I'm just getting off it.
If I couldn't trust a restaurant to not give me food poisoning I'd stop going.

Maybe start with voting no on the new censorship bill that just passed with unanimous consent that Trump specifically said he will abuse to silence people.

I mean they have so many options to move in any direction other than their shoulders up in a shrug.

Yet they are happy to hand the criminal who is actively shooting people another loaded weapon because "optics".

They are the kind of people that say you should stay with a partner that rapes and abuses you because it might make family gatherings weird if you complain.
Fuck those people.

Yeah that will only be true for the rich and powerful. Ever go to the police as a poor for stalking?

The same way that Facebook can say "no" when you ask them to stop training AI on your data they will just send it to an automated not that will find no issue and deny the takedown but for those that pay I'm sure it will be very effective.

This reminds me of the DNC super donor Ed Buck who would lure in gay black men and kill them by injecting meth into them while raping them.

He managed to do it for years and wasn't until one of the victims survived to be able talk about it that he was sentenced as with every previous body it was said it was a private issue and a sad loss of a friend.
Photos managed to get shared of his racist, rape, death den helping sway the public.

Ed Buck would have loved this bill and its ability to actively scrub his image further.
If it feels like monsters would like something I don't want it.

So just assume they voted yes since only 2 republicans voted against including the Democrats

Adding more noise does nothing to add insights it just makes it more exhausting to pick a position yourself.

If everything is nuanced then you can more easily give up on caring in a meaningful way because you believe there is no good answer.

It sure was something. I didn't even hate it just didn't really find it grounbreaking either and in a time where most movies are just remakes, reboots and resurrected dead franchises that still sell merch...

I'm actually kinda fine with the crazy old man making a passion project about how stupid and vapid people with money are.

It least it kept some jobs alive and supported his industry.

Post in Lemmy be wholesome or somewhere similar and I'm sure people will have nice things to say.

What on earth was the thought process that lead you posting this here?

It makes it seem like a bot post. Honestly it reads like one of the bots in the comment section of a YouTube video that says if they get 10k likes their mom will buy them a camera. And creates an immediate distrust.

Woah that's unreadable.

Give me at least a drop shadow or outline or something. Bold putting white text on yellow and orange backgrounds at 12pt font.

Well the cereal was invented cause he thought bland foods would stop you masturbating but that was clearly not working so he leaned back into foreskin hoarding.

I am not kidding as much as that sentence would make it seem.

 
 

As far as I can tell they are over 9 feet tall... What the hell did they bury in their front yard?!

 

Yeah... This is half a packet of seeds and they are literally hopping from the fence to tree branches literally a couple feet away.

I swear it said it was a bush type too and this is more forest.

 

Well the branch holding my bell peppers fell off entirely from the weight.... So guess it's fajita night.

I honestly have so many Serranos and jalapenos but am the only one that loves spice so.... On the plant they stay for another days nachos.

And yes I know that is a leek but my onions aren't ready and it's a kitchen scrap garden. So using what I got.

 

Most conservative pundits out there seem to all talk about how they wanted to do something specific with their life but it didn't work out.
They like to blame the current systems and government for not doing enough to make them famous or popular or cool with the youth.

They then convince a bunch of people who are also unhappy but could have a lot of their issues with lack of time and resources fixed with money, that if they are unhappy while having money dumped in their lap than these normal people will be unhappy with it too. Hoping they fix some arbitrary reason they aren't more famous.

 

My in the ground bell peppers are freaking massive.

 

So, what's the general feeling on those plastic popup greenhouses?

After a particularly rough month with my plants I am considering getting a popup style plastic greenhouse for my plants.

I am kinda hoping that it would help to keep the moisture up and the shade up since a like half dozen of my peppers just got sunrot.

I have noticed my plants under my bug netting do better and my pepper plant in the ground under it doesn't have sunrot. I think it would also let me keep my pots longer in fall since in in zone 7 and cold snaps happen.

So.... Any thoughts? Tips? Etc?

 

I rent in an urban area and was given a backyard full of 6 foot tall weeds. Over the winter I managed to somewhat reduce their numbers and have been fighting them down since but also I didn't really have any money for gardening so I just went with direct inground with a bag of miracle grow for fertilizer and some cheap mulch for bedding.

Pretty much a scraps garden. I have green onions and regular onions, garlic cloves that sprouted, bell pepper and jalapenos, a potato plant, 2 basil and 3 Thai basil, a daikon scrap I'm letting flower I hopes of seeds I can plant next year, and all my beans and peas on the fence over there.

I also planted a blueberry bush that I realized I really should have kept in a pot cause I realized how long that thing is gonna grow for.

I also threw potatoes under the bush in the far back that is doing pretty good and a strawberry I won't ever be able to eat the fruit from because the critters get up earlier in the morning than me.

 

So, I have always wanted to do multi filament printing. The thought of doing multicolor or washable supports has been such a cool idea and I tried to make that a reality all the way back when I bought my Geeetech A10M... And oh boy did I hate it. (Don't do single extruder multi filament kids, it ain't worth the headache.)

So, with only my trusty prusa mk2 at my side I'm thinking of finally getting an IDEX machine and trying again right this time. Then I looked at the price of the Prusa XL and died a little.

So, this is where I am gonna ask for some help.
I saw that Flashgorge is selling their Creator Pro 2 for only $400 and with a cheap upgrade for a magnetic plate seems like it would be an awesome deal even if it's a bit small of a build size.

Or I could go 3rd party and get the JGMaker Artist D Pro IDEX 3D Printer (which I have never heard of) for the same price but with a heck of a lot more build space.

Or I could swallow my pride and a shit ton of credit card payments and do just the 2 head semi-built prusa XL for 3x the cost.

So essentially has anyone tried the Flashforge Creator Pro 2 and thinks it would be worth it for basically half off?
Have 3rd party Chinese brands gotten more trustworthy and actually able to print decent at these insanely low prices?
Or is it still one of those you pay for what you get and if you want good multi filament printing you have to pay for it?

 

I mean come on! Like, sure ok then, please go on ahead.

So it's the season, just carved the first pumpkin of the year and decided to use the insides and leftovers to make a pumpkin-pumpkin spice syrup that is truly heavenly.

14oz of pumpkin guts and roasted flesh boiled and pureed in the water
28oz of water
28oz of raw sugar
2 full sticks of cinnamon
9 Cloves
4 large slices of candied ginger
4 cardamom pods
1 vanilla pod split insides removed and then the pod itself as well

Used an immersion blender to puree the pumpkin further with just the water at first then added everything else and boiled, simmered for about 15 minutes lid on and then cooled and strained.

*You can use dry spices and vanilla extract I'm just a sucker for raw ingredients, and cooking like I'm a witch apparently.

The syrup is so so good. I combined it with apple cider and very caramel forward rye whiskey I have and am in love.

Do you guys have different versions you make or thoughts on the syrup for other cocktails to try? I'm trying to figure out what to do with a liter of the stuff.

I would share a photo of it but I'm honestly holding it in an old Rao's sauce jar cause I didn't realize all my swing top bottles were dirty ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
But yeah it's not nearly as pretty as the stuff other people do.
