I surprisingly enjoy purling but I can only do it English style. Continental purling makes no sense to my brain. Continental knits and English purls for me are the same tension so that works out even if it's a bit odd.

My parents favourite music artists finally popped up on Spotify about 5 years ago. It was a dry run until then - I was PISSED when my brother lost my CD of a band I liked when we went back home on vacation.
Technically none, but my partner pays for Spotify and I'm on a shared YouTube Premium plan. I used to have 5-6 subscriptions and cut them off in January 2022. No regrets! Even buying an old machine second hand, an external storage, and a VPN still costs way less than my many subscriptions. It'll be hard to give up Spotify... Too convenient.
Something about equating the choice to have kids with reducing the climate impact leaves me with an icky feeling. Not all humans have the same climate impact, so not all children would, either. Instead of telling Bob not to procreate, we really need to take a long hard look at Bezos and his many private flights.
Never forget that "carbon footprint" is propoganda by the fossil fuel industry to push the responsibility of climate change onto individuals rather than large corporations who are the ones truly responsible for the mess we're in.
Humans weren't ready for easily accessible sucrose, let alone an easily manipulated reality. My parents can't tell the difference between Facebook rumors and reality. My siblings can't tell the difference between YouTube conspiracies and reality. And I'm this boat, letting myself get personally affected by text on some website. We're in over out heads.
One of my Linux people left Odysee recently. Can you guess why? He got sick of all the Nazi shit.
I switched to Continental early on and it helped the carpal tunnel. Even that was fairly easy,, by rib knits make my brain spin.
Reminds me of leaving my ex. Went from "baby I love you, don't leave 🥺" to "fuck you, you're nothing without me, you're a crazy bitch" in the span of minutes.
Cool! I'll probably go down that route then when it's ready.
That looks neat! I'll look into it. How does it work, do you run Docker in it? I really have no clue what I'm doing.
I've got the domains already - I have a bad habit of buying domains that I never use. It's really the server part that gets me nervous. I'm not good at that stuff yet, and it's not really intuitive for me to learn. I know for Mastodon, they have some cloud based servers that they recommend, but Lemmy's instructions are kinda lacking detail for a newbie like me - and at this time, there's not really up-to-date YT videos showing you how to do it.
I know that being part of a server seems like a natural fit for someone like me who is totally lost with these things, but it's kinda frustrating that most larger instances have a ton of rules. I think the one I'm on has rules about lewd content, which is fine, but I feel like one of my comments got blocked from submission when I wrote about how Reddit's downfall will be similar to Tumblr's due to their likely eventual banning of that type of content. Maybe some of the words I used were triggering the auto filter or something? But either way, I didn't like that feeling of censorship.

As the daughter of a chef - skip the salt, add a bouillon cube. It's not authentic but it tastes better and half of the NYC restaurants do it already. The umami from the bouillon cube rounds out the flavour and makes it taste less like a two ingredient poverty food.
A lot of Italian dishes taste kinda unfinished until you add an umami element to them. Thats why I prefer the Croatian version the same dishes. Pasta fagioli is a beany vegetable soup, the Croatians make pasta fažol by adding a bit of pršut (smoked ham) and it completes the flavour and makes it a delicious hearty meal. That's why Lydia Bastianich has been so successful - she's been passing the typical Croatian version of meals as "authentic Italian" for decades and people like it because it flat out tastes better.
If you wanna get real advanced find some Vegeta in a European grocery store and start using it to sub salt in most meals. It's basically just a bunch of herbs, onion and garlic powder, and MSG. Use it as a meat rub, use it when making rice, use it while cooking anything savoury.
