Hi. I'm trying to lose weight, first time around I did this I had good luck with a keto diet. I suck at cooking lentils for some reason now, so I'm hoping you all here on Lemmy and not reddit can throw some recipes and products and ideas my way. If I'm being totally honest I am a somewhat mediocre cook, and I like foods that can be bought in bulk and for cheap. I can follow recipes just fine, even complex ones, I just can't freestyle my way into a good dish.

Eggs and skinless chicken breasts are good but I gotta mix it up sometimes. Any good carb free cereal that's cheap? Anything quick and easy I can snack on? Hit me with everything and anything, please. I'm dumb and open for ideas.

I do want to stop using google maps in its entirety, but there are problems with all the other map and navigation apps that haven't been solved that google has working just fine.

Say I want directions to a store or restaurant 20-30 minutes away. I know what its called, not its exact location, so I type its name in and google can give me a list of all places with that name no issue.

I try that in magic earth, organic maps, co maps, its a toss up if it knows the place I am trying to find. So I try typing in the exact address if I have time and can find it online. 90% of the time that just doesn't find the place, and givss me an entire street to look down.

Lastly, often I want to call these places ahead of time, or look at a menu, get a vague idea how much it costs. Google maps just... has that information right there. Hours, images of food, menus, everything. No one else has that, and complications arise, especially when Duck Duck Go give me the wrong number and I place a pick up order from a place on the wrong side of town.

I want to replace google, but damn it if right now its just the best option and doesn't screw anything up. There are times when I cannot afford being late or lost and I can't risk using the other ones.

    Did you know: During the American civil war, the king of Siam (present day Vietnam) offered the Union two elephants to assist in the war effort.

    Lincoln politely refused.

    Probably wise, I'd hate to see reenactments with elephants miming getting shot

    I just had this exact sentiment with the navigation app Magic Earth. A Google alternative that works decently enough, doesn't rob my data, and also has a built in dash cam function and is all for free? Sign me up! They just went freemium. Dash cam and a bunch of other features are now locked behind a paywall, and it came with an update one couldn't avoid. I'm so pissed, and really wish I could have avoided that. Now I'm searching for a half decent alternative.

    I can't fit 3 120mm lian LI fans up top on this case, a Fractal Design Meshify 3, even though I thought PCpartpicker said it could. On top of that, the SL and CL series fans dont share the same touch points for transmitting power. So the one on the back would have no power to exhaust, and my reverse flow up at the front spot on the roof can't share with what would have been the other two fans. Clear oversights, oops. So now I have what is effectively two fans up top, and two fans I can't even use.

    Well, not too sure how to fix this. Anyone have ideas on how I might salvage this or get the original idea to work? I uhh... I am not sure where to go from here. Not exactly urgent, one of the parts isn't here yet and I'm still waiting on things.
