No. Raw onion is delicious, especially with coriander. Hummus, raw onion, raw shredded cabbag, coriander leaf, and a big dollop of chilli sauce in a wrap. It's like eating god's cum.

Star Trek TOS is the best series and always will be.

How about a potato? On the minus side, it doesn't do anything, but it has the advantage of not being an utter piece of shit that does nazi salutes.

100% Fascism.

There is evidence that there is a correlation between fluoride in water and lower IQ in children. It's difficult to show causation, but it's something that should be investigated. Pausing fluoridation while this happens would seem sensible.
I think this is the first time I've ever defended something these arseholes have done. Feels weird.

Remember, when you are dead, you do not know you are dead. It is only painful for others. The same applies when you are stupid.

Pretty bad, but things started improving in the 80s, through to the 00s, when it started getting worse, and now it's all shit again and getting worse. And when it's over, we have to dig ourselves out of the shitty bigot hole again.

What's the agenda?

Talk is cheap.

Likewise.

"In 2023, trans woman Glenique Frank, who ran the race to raise money for good causes, was accused of “cheating real women out of a place” after she finished the 26.2-mile event in 4hrs 11mins 28secs – in 6,160th spot."
The person in 6,161st place must have been gutted they didn't get 6,160th.

It's not necessarily pro homophobia. If it is, people might join in order to report hateful content when it appears.

New communities show up on the front page of the web site, so there is instant exposure as soon as it is created. I set up a community about seagulls, and it's got 147 subscribers, despite only having about 6 posts. Lemmy is still small though that you can be a big fish in a little pond.

Silly question, but you did actually include malts which produce sugars that can ferment? I brew by the seat of my pants quite a lot, but I always take an OG reading.

Don't try to move things along too quickly. Let her hide somewhere she feels safe until she's ready to come out. Give her nice food to eat and a clean litter tray. Let her come to you - don't try to stroke or hold her until she's ready for it. Learn basic cat language - narrowing your eyes and looking away is a sign of friendship. When she gets close enough, stroke the side of her face to show you like her. When you get closer, bumping noses is the cat equivalent of kissing.

You wish. As long as housing is seen as an investment, there will be enough people buying to keep the prices going up.

This is from last year and Snopes has done s thorough write up on it.

It's a perfect combination of invasion of privacy, entrapment, and snake oil. No wonder the police love it.

This seems sensible.

It's not only vague, it's completely wrong. You can't over-rule biology with court rulings, and biology doesn't care what the concept of "male" and "female" means to humans.

Brewing with "High Voltage" yeast


Brewing up an APA with WHC Labs High Voltage dry yeast. It's insanely quick - I put it in at 3pm and by 8pm there was CO2 coming out of the fermenter. 2 Days later and it's down to FG. That was fermenting at 30 C, which is as high as my fermenting fridge goes. You can ferment at up to 36 C.
From brewing to keg within a week - what a world we live in!

Gulls Eating Stuff

Worm charming

A sea gull taps the ground with their feet to try to bring some worms to the surface.

Clever gull does some worm charming to get a snack. The official name for this is the "Seagull Dance" apparently.

Just tried Immich to replace Google photos
Wow. I've only just started testing it against GP, but it's really slick and works really well. Lots more fine control than GP, and the only thing that isn't quite as good is the photo editing on the app and web site, and that is on the roadmap. Oh, and I can't see how to set up TLS but I might just be missing something.

The last blurry close up I ever took of Dorrit, the best cat ever.


RIP Dorrit. I miss you every day.

Good.

Gullfriends - A place to appreciate friendly sea gulls


lemmings.world/c/gullfriends
Herring gulls live for 20 years, mate for life, and are intelligent social birds. This is a place to appreciate positive interactions with the little skwarkers. They are on the red endangered list in the UK and a protected species, so let's all be nice to them.
Never mind the crow bros, here's the gullfriends.

Spot doing some shoulder surfing


Spot was a gullfriend until he started banging on the window with his beak to demand treats at all times of the day and night. Now he doesn't get any more food.

A present from Steve


We have a gullfriend called Steve who we made friends with ages ago. She disappeared for a few months, but then came back. We gave her some currants, she flew off, and then came back with this present for us. Nest making material of sticks and feathers. Thanks Steve!

Anyone remember the name of a TV horror anthology series set in a gentleman's club?
It was black and white but maybe from the 60s? Each week was up to 3 people telling a different horror story to their fellow club members.
