When I was unemployed over the summer this was one of my daily search methods. I found more jobs that were actually applicable to me than on LinkedIn or Indeed, although it's worth noting that they don't have every company on there. I'd recommend adding any companies you want them to scan (there's a form where you can drop the link to their hiring site) so you don't have to visit all of your preferred employers manually.

    I suspect Lemmy isn't going to have a specific community for it - too niche - but there are plenty of people on here who aren't against sailing the high seas every now and again, so someone may chime in with a thought.

    A quick google also turns up a few suggestions. I can't vouch for them because I just sub to retail with gold, but there doesn't appear to be a shortage of options available.

    I'm sure you already know this, but on the off chance you don't: WoW "can be privately hosted" in the same way you "can watch any movie for free" if you know the right websites. Private servers are not permitted by Blizzard and they intermittently take action against them, especially the big ones. I think TurtleWoW was probably the most recent?

    If you're fine with that risk though, I'm sure there are a few around here and there. WoW Forever also launches on November 4 if you're willing to reconsider the subscription for a more Classic-like experience that has old school vibes but with new content to explore.

    Based on the article, it looks like she spent about $1600 in total between the blocks and other items - not much savings there. Creative, sure, but I don't know how practical it is for most people.

    Also, the article mentions that she wasn't allowed to install anything that had a door or reached to the ceiling. To me that sounds like a fire safety thing rather than a random rule (although I'm not an expert, so who knows), which makes this block wall questionable at best. I get wanting some extra space, but is what she got worth the safety and/or lease violation risks?

    This sounds more like a Lemmy feature request than a Summit one. Summit is only one of many apps that you can use to access Lemmy (like all the Reddit apps before the whole API mess a few years back), not to mention the web interface itself if you'd rather not use an app at all.

    I think you can request new Lemmy features on the GitHub, but I've never done it myself.

    Is this a statistic that Lemmy itself tracks? I haven't heard one way or the other, but if it doesn't then I'm not sure how realistic it would be for Summit to implement. It could maybe show you how many times you personally have viewed a post (not sure how valuable that is, though) or how many times a Summit user has viewed a post, but the latter feels like a bit too much data collection for questionable return, imo.

    If this is something that Lemmy already tracks, though, then adding an option to view it would be great! More options in general is always my preference, even if I don't necessarily make use of them myself.

    Friday night dinners are my "work is over, time to relax" marker. I pick something outside of my usual calorie/nutritional goals and also have dessert and use it as my celebration for getting through another week of work. Pizza and ice cream, burgers and brownies, whatever breaks from my usual and reminds me that there's more to life than a constant grind.

    All good suggestions, and I cannot emphasize the unemployment benefits application enough. Those applications can take time to get approved and may require some pestering on your part to keep the unemployment office moving, so the sooner you file (preferably same day) the better off you are.

    Even if you have money saved and are hoping to not need unemployment before you find a new job, apply anyway. You're entitled to benefits just like everyone else, and with the current craziness of the world right now that extra cushion could come in handy in a few months.

    I have timers for my aquarium lights. They turn on and off at specified times each day so I don't accidentally leave them on all night and get a ton of algae growing everywhere.

    That was an interesting watch, thanks for sharing! I had a laugh when he said the Flaggy Flag rebels now have control of the subreddit.

    I agree with your frustration about how the podcast ended. I get that listeners weren't owed anything and that it was a very Grey way to go, but it just felt rude. At least we got an official announcement when Cortex said Grey was going on hiatus (and one that every HI listener knew how to interpret), but the lack of videos on his main channel over the last year is just plain odd.

    Nevertheless, I hope this is all simply Grey being impolite and not, like, health problems or anything.

  • "Bourbon" Chicken (lemmy.world)
     

    The original recipe is good, but I made enough adjustments that it's worth restating the entire recipe. My modified version makes eight servings and it freezes well—I separate into individual containers and thaw one the night before I plan to eat it.

    My modified recipe:

    • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
    • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
    • 12 ounces shelled edamame
    • 12 ounces diced carrots
    • 4 ounces unsalted cashews
    • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
    • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
    • 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
    • 1/2 cup apple juice
    • 1/2 cup water

    Cut the chicken into bit-sized pieces. Put the oil in a pot or large pan (you can skip this if you don't think your chicken will stick) and cook the chicken over medium-high heat until it's cooked through (about 10 minutes). Once cooked, drain the chicken to remove excess liquid.

    While the chicken's draining, combine the ginger, garlic powder, black pepper, rice vinegar, soy sauce, apple juice, and water and stir well to combine. Return the chicken to the pot, add the sauce, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the flavors combine. After 5 minutes have passed, add the edamame and carrots. After another 5 minutes have passed, add the cashews.

    Serve over a rice of your choosing.
