Hobart_the_GoKart,

Usually the community is built on a hill or a mountain. Often times the highest part of the town, geographically. The incline may be gradual or subtle, so you may not notice that it’s taller than the rest of the area.

Similarly when streets (in the US) are named High St., it’s literally the highest street in town.

Hobart_the_GoKart,

Yep. It’s quite literal, also from Wikipedia about Brooklyn heights:

Brooklyn Heights occupies a plateau on a high bluff that rises sharply from the river’s edge and gradually recedes on the landward side.

I believe there is a kosher salt shortage right now, not just Morton’s.

Editing to add that I had heard this a few months ago and now I can’t find a reputable source that supports that. So take my opinion with a grain of salt. Hehe

TIL VH1's Pop Up Video is "lost media". Due to licensing issues, the only way that episodes can be found is through home recordings of the show from when it aired (lostmediawiki.com)

Currently, all the master copies of the episodes from the original run are being held by the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. They were donated by Tad Low, the creator of the show. Although master copies are known to exist, they are not publicly available due to licensing. […] With the sheer number of episodes produced, the fact that...

Hobart_the_GoKart,

The music is licensed by the record company. If a distributor wanted to release all the episodes on an official home media (streaming, blue ray, etc), they would need to pay for the rights of the music. Each. Song. And they are all hits so that’s big money. The cost to license this music would outweigh any benefit of release the home media. Hence the issue, no one wants to go through that headache. It won’t be resolved until the songs enter the public domain (70 years minimum).

Hobart_the_GoKart,

My friend spent a weekend in Churchill, Manitoba. Your chances of seeing Aurora Borealis are pretty high there. They have a nice tourism town around it, so you’re not off in the woods alone. She really enjoyed her stay.

Hobart_the_GoKart,

I’m sorry, but it was a friend who took the trip. I’m not sure what her exact travel plans were.

Hobart_the_GoKart,

I would just like some width varieties as well as length.

Younger users of Lemmy: Did you ever love a game that you just really sucked at?

So I was watching a few youtubes and remembered how the vast majority (of like the ten) nes games me and my sister had were hard as all hell. I loved to play Little Nemo and Street Fighter 2010 but I am pretty sure I never made it past the third level of either. Let alone infamously hard games like The Lion King....

Hobart_the_GoKart,

I love, but suck at, Minecraft. How am I so bad?

Hobart_the_GoKart,

I’ve really fantasized about being able to view my stats after I die. I come back to word counts pretty often. Or how many “near misses” I’ve had, if any I suppose.

Hobart_the_GoKart,

Yes yes yes! All these trivial things that I will look up and say “Neat!”. My heaven is pretty simple haha

Hobart_the_GoKart,

One reason people get radicalized online is that meme culture can quickly reduce issues to a punchline or a call to arms. And by circulating entirely online, with no checks on factuality or origin, memes and the joking around them can convey messages and provoke reactions with none of the back-and-forth that happens in person, let alone the learning acquired through research or deep study.

Something that is not talked about enough.

Hobart_the_GoKart,

I agree. I would argue that headlines are passed around almost as easily as memes, though often without the humor element.

Hobart_the_GoKart,

Kitty! It’s the kitster. The copy cat making COPiessss…

I made a tool to make it trivial to time your turkey thawing. (turkeythaw.com)

I whipped this up today because I am always having to look it up and figure out when I am supposed to put my turkey from the Freezer to the Fridge. I plan to pretty it up over the next few days but hopefully this will be helpful to others (me too since I am cooking a turkey for Thanksgiving and Christmas this year). I am open to...

Americans of Lemmy, what is your approach to next year's election?

2020 was… truly unique. It was so hard to stay away from doom scrolling, and I (and many others) were pretty disillusioned by the sad fact that so much of our country legitimately supported the Orange Man. I didn’t get a wink of sleep the night of the election because I genuinely considered it to be a make or break decision...

Hobart_the_GoKart,

There’s so many acronyms here my head is spinning

Hobart_the_GoKart,

I’ve been dreading it since 2020. I might turn my phone off the entire year.

Hobart_the_GoKart,

Not sure if I’d bother… That glue never holds anyway. I always iron on, then sew.

Good luck though, hope you find something.

Hobart_the_GoKart,

I usually put them on denim that never gets washed. I think they just peel off from wear and flexing fabric.

Hobart_the_GoKart,

Same. I copy and paste the recipe from the website and cut out any fluff.

I have a recipe folder on drive that’s further decided by meal type (dinner, breakfast, sides & snacks, desserts, etc.). The dinner folder (biggest) also has subfolders for meat types (chicken, pork, veg, etc.).

I usually have everything sorted by when I last opened it, to try and keep a fresh rotation. The recipe folder has a permanent link on our tablet that lives in the kitchen.

This works great, because I can share a recipe pretty quickly if I’m talking about it with someone. Also other family members can open the folder on the tablet and start or help with meal prep.

Hobart_the_GoKart,

I don’t know what your definition of expensive is, but I suggest www.pureintegrity.com

I think their candles are worth it. Also, if you’re local, you can return the wooden tops for a discount on your next purchase.

Hobart_the_GoKart,

Yes, I was thinking more like Dr. Manhattan. Have fun on Mars.

Hobart_the_GoKart,

I’ll swap for my apple crisp recipe

Hobart_the_GoKart,

Just picked up a recipe for apple cinnamon Blondies I’m going to try this year.

Hobart_the_GoKart,

I’m late to the party, but watching venture brothers for the first time. I’m on season 2.
