[–] 13 points 1 month ago (6 children)

book spoilers ishHow High We Go in the Dark by Sequoia Nagamatsu talks about this in one of the chapters. A disease is killing children so an amusement park was created for children to enjoy a roller coaster ride instead of dying in a hospital bed.

    Currently traveling and only have access to a pourover for my morning coffee. Would I prefer an espresso? Yes. Would I rather die on espresso or nothing? No. Love thy coffee!

    I tried Qobuz streaming but for a product that advertises discoverability it does a very poor job of it. Bandcamp has far better discoverability UX.

    Music purchases on Qobuz on the other hand are chef’s kiss. They have almost everything apart from the rare artist who ONLY distribute through Spotify for whatever reason.

    I see how it could be uncomfortable. From one internet stranger to another, I hope you know it’s appreciated. That kind of empathy already goes a long way. It might not come out that way but I see it from here.

    Some real advice for situations where you’re not quite sure how to address the ethnicity topic: you could just ask if they grew up in . If they say no, they might tell you where they grew up. If not, let it pass. Not everyone wants to talk about where they grew up. 1st generation+ Asians can be all over the place on comfort with their identity.

    Also, if the vibes aren’t there, they might just not want to talk. That’s fine too.

  • Dog food advice? (lemmy.zip)
     

    Reddit wants me to believe that Pedigree and other mainstream WSAVA compliant brands are the only possible foods to feed your dog.

    All other foods will kill your dog. Raw will kill your dog. Homemade will kill your dog.

    My shiba’s been on dehydrated turkey barley for 5 years and in the prime of her health. The problem is that the company that makes her food suddenly shut down and she refuses to eat kibble.

    Anyone have any recommendations for non-kibble dog food for a picky dog?

     

    I installed this app on my previous phone a long time ago probably from some privacy Reddit thread and never touched it again. I have it on my new phone after transferring data over and it looks like it still works exactly the same way.

    Any thoughts from people more informed about privacy than I am? Is it a security risk? I am giving up a ton of access to it.

     

    Removed the boiler from my Gaggia Classic and it was a humbling experience to learn just how much scale can build up even on RO water.

    Ultimately wasn’t able to get the boiler looking squeaky even after 2 hours of sitting in descale solution. Is that probably fine? I just rinsed and brushed it until I didn’t see any more visible scale flakes coming off. Flow is back to normal as far as I can tell.
