I just discovered a cookbook called Six Seasons: A New Way with Vegetables by Joshua McFadden while looking up cookbooks to get me to eat more veggies. It's in the mail, so I can't vouch for the recipes yet. Apparently it's very highly rated though and I'm excited for some tasty veggies.
An American born in 2019 will spend a larger share of their lifetime taking prescription drugs than being married or receiving an education, according to new research by Jessica Ho, associate professor of sociology and demography at Penn State. She reported the findings this week (article date: Oct 6) in the journal Demography.
Yep, my parents are also sadly in the school of "just take a pill for it," which then turns into taking more pills for the side effects of the pills they're taking, and on and on.
While I'm in the "make healthy lifestyle changes" camp and have, so far in my early 40s, never been on long term medication and hopefully never will. It's so frustrating watching my parents deteriorate while still paying for so many meds.
Pippin felt curiously attracted by the well. While the others were unrolling blankets and making beds against the walls of the chamber, as far as possible from the hole in the floor, he crept to the edge and peered over. A chill air seems to strike his face, rising from the invisible depths. Moved by a sudden impulse he groped for a loose stone, and let it drop. He felt his heart beat many times before there was any signs. Then far below, as if the stone had fallen into deep water in some cavernous place, the came a plunk, very distant, but magnified and repeated in the hollow shaft.
'What's that?' cried Gandalf. He was relieved when Pippin confessed what he had done; but he was angry, and Pippin could see his eye glinting. 'Fool of a Took!' he growled. 'This is a serious journey, not a hobbit walking-party. Throw yourself in next time, and then you will be no further nuisance. Now be quiet!'
Nothing more was heard for several minutes; but then there came out of the depths faint knocks: tap-tom, tap-tom. ...
Yep. My paranoia makes me an excellent reviewer of other people's work at my job. It's from a lifetime of catching my own mistakes after some very hard lessons learned.
I’m interviewing for a night shift position in a couple days and I’ve always worked 8-4 or 9-5. I’m a little scared of the idea though! I’m worried about seeing my family less because my sleep schedule will be totally different than theirs....
Look up "night shift belly." I did night audit at a hotel for a year and a half. By the end, I could only really stomach eating the kale salad from Whole Foods and not much else.
It also wrecked my social life and when I got sick, I got really sick, so I think my immune system was out of whack in general.
Like others have said, the commute is a dream. The shift itself is quiet with plenty of time to have deep conversations with any coworkers you may have, read, listen to podcasts, etc. It's like living in a different world.
I say give it a try, but listen to your body and find something else soon if your health is affected.
I literally just finished The Silence of Bones by June Hur. It's about a 16 year old Damo, or female police servant, who becomes wrapped up in recent murders involving Catholics in 1800s Joseon Korea. I quite enjoyed it, in spite of the main character being a little idiot sometimes.
I just started Spice Road by Maya Ibrahim, so I don't have much of an opinion yet. I like the wiring so far, as well as the middle eastern magic vibes.
I just got bored with Dune once it started focusing on the Fremen for some reason. I found everything before that fascinating though.
I DNF'd Shogun around 70 pages in because I couldn't handle the repetitive and redundant dialogue, the awkwardly contrived info dumps, and the innumerable mentions of the size of the protagonist's penis.
Parable of the Sower was amazing, but too real. I couldn't handle it for more than a few pages. And
The Name of the Wind stopped being interesting once the mystery of the "modern" part turned into "let me just tell you everything over the course of the series instead of drip feeding the tantalizing the information to you during the current day portion."
I do like that the cover art pretty much tells you what kind of book it is at least. It acts like a filter by itself. And some of the titles too. The tired "A Blank of Blank and Blank" and so forth. The marketing works both ways, acting either as a lure or a repellant. Ha.
I finally just blocked that community, since it was so spammy. That and 196. Nothing against either community. I just didn't want other stuff becoming buried under them. Now I'm seeing a lot more variety in overall posts.
This explains why sometimes I'll research something or study German on my days off instead of playing a video game. I thought I was "wasting" my day off and not properly relaxing. Instead, I was letting my brain off its leash to do what it wanted and that's what it picked. That task was actually relaxing for my brain at that...
Most Scifi fans I have ran into can pretty quickly rank the four stars –BattleSTAR Galactica, STAR Trek, STARgate, and STAR wars, but what lesser-known or less-prestigious shows hold a special place in your heart?...
A weird mix of a murder mystery visual novel based in Joseon Korea (called Suhoshin) and FF 16, with short dips into Goat Simulator 3. Taking a short break from Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, but I'll get back to it after these.
The lack of bloatware and the cost made me a Motorola fan as well. I also love that you can just shake your phone twice to turn on the flashlight. It's a little thing that I'm spoiled by now.
Obviously, they don't have to slide into the cozy genre. But what books do you cuddle up with during a thunderstorm, or your variable weather of choice? Personally, Becky Chambers has become one of my favorites. I also read LOTR when I need a "good guys doing the right thing just because it's the right thing to do".

What are some of the best decisions of your life? (lemmy.world)
I’m talking about life decisions that worked out perfectly and left you with no regrets. Here are mine:...
What are you reading this week? [7/09/23]
What book is currently on your nightstand?...
Highly rated book you DNF
Here is my embarrassing list....
I wish "they" would separate "fantasy" from "romance fantasy" genre.
I see many 4.5 to 5 star fantasy books. I get excited and read about them only to find out they are really just “romance” or smut type books. Grrr....
What do you think is responsible for lemmy’s growth over other alternatives like KBin and Tildes?
Is it speed? Features? Ease of development? Just curious why lemmy is seeing more activity as opposed to other networks.
