I can't believe this name wasn't already taken.

doc,

Rooibos is a good option. You can get it all dolled up in a blend with fruits and flowers but it's fine straight up. It has an herbal, earthy taste, naturally only slightly sweet, and not astringent/bitter at all.

doc, (edited )

For a while I was skipping lunch or eating junk food due to work pinning me down for 80 hours a week. I wanted something fast but healthy and not expensive. Prepared meals cost too much, delivery apps only raise the price.

I had heard of soylent before and found ready-to-drink was available at Target. Not bad, but not good. Too sweet for me. After looking into these things more I eventually settled on Mana as they seemed to be the most focused on nutrition and constantly improving their product. I've been getting their powder by subscription ever since to replace one meal a day (usually breakfast). Comes out to less than 5 minutes and $2 a day. It's borderline bland, which makes it easy to have fun with. Add chocolate powder, some mango juice, or leftover coffee from the French press, whatever to break out of the "I'm only eating this for sustenance" monotony.

doc,

Not green. ;)

doc,

It wasn't lunch. I just couldn't eat on any regular schedule at all.

To those genuinely interested in moderating

@Ernest has pushed an update which allows users to request ownership/moderation of abandoned magazines. Ghost/abandoned magazines were fairly prevalent after the initial wave of hype due to users either squatting magazine names or becoming inactive for other reasons. Now is your chance to get involved, if you were waiting to do...

doc,

It may be worthwhile auto-deleting any with zero historical activity (no threads or microblogs) after a few months, too.

doc,

Are you a spoon?

doc,

Antiperspirant with Aluminum Zirconium Tetrachlorohydrex Gly is the only one that works for me. For that I use Dove Clinical soft-solid because the scent is mild and the perforated applicator lets me work it in like lotion without over applying.

doc,

Open type fonts have these capabilities built in. It's up to the designer to implement it in useful ways like this.

/kbin RTR#7 Summary of the week, preview of the kbin.social update

It's been almost a week since I started describing my work in the devlog. I'm okay with the progress and the pace I've set for myself. But what matters most to me is that developing the project has once again brought me immense joy and satisfaction. The tasks I've completed so far will allow for a more organized life on the...

Abandoned magazines table view.

But what matters most to me is that developing the project has once again brought me immense joy and satisfaction.

So happy to hear this. Rock on ernest! 🤘🤘

doc,

What's your budget? If your friend is into bourbon then most everything here he's probably tried. To get a unique gift bottle will cost a bit more, depending where you are.

doc,

Those bottles now run north of $150, so you're better off being sober in more ways than one!

doc,

Simpsons has become so... tame. Among other words that rhyme, such as dart, cart, and e-art.

doc,

It was engineered for passive cooling, even if just barely. I don't think you need something as elaborate as a case fan when the whole thing is perforated like that. A single USB fan blowing on the case from 6 inches away is sufficient to keep my formerly toasty modem barely warm to the touch.

Are phone notification LEDs still a thing?

Looking at all the features that older phones uses to have compared to newer ones, I never hear anyone talk about the removal of the notification LED. I personally really liked that feature, being able to see if I got an email, a text or missed a call without turning on my phone was awesome. My Samsung note 8 had this feature,...

doc,

I didn't realize the LED was no longer ubiquitous! I rely on mine, and I take it a step further with missed notification reminder for a repeating audio tone every few minutes. I don't like having to stare at my phone all day long looking for work messages.

doc,

Too be fair, the AITA format is typically a self post, not an article link. We're used to commenting on the title only when it's worded like that.

doc,

I hope that gets changed when the next update finally goes out

doc,

Not to mention they are the superior salad utensil.

doc, to portland
doc,

Snapdrop and pairdrop both support txt. On a PC right click your target. Android method will probably vary based on what app you're using.

doc,

SMS. Universal and ubiquitous thanks to free or nearly free inclusion in phone plans. American English has no need for expanded character sets and carriers/Apple/Google have added just enough features on top that the vast majority of people aren't left wanting for more.

Instant payment was literally impossible until this summer, and given it's so new almost no bank has support for it yet. Privacy/encryption don't enter into most people's consciousness.

doc,

Bingo. It's wild to me to hear other countries doing tons of their payments via apps. US is 10 years behind the rest of the world on that.

We have things like Venmo and cashapp that approximate the same thing, but in the end it's just the same ACH transfers the banking industry has used for 30 years and takes days to process. The apps just hide that behind the scenes. FedNow actually means instant and 24/6 (still doesn't run on Sunday, if I recall correctly).

Next Saturday morning, around 9 AM, a "Ring of Fire" Solar Eclipse passes through central and southern Oregon (skyandtelescope.org)

A solar eclipse will soon grace the skies over the Americas. On Saturday, October 14, 2023, the Moon will cross in front of the Sun, covering at most 90% of it — the remaining 10% will appear as a blazing “ring of fire” around the Moon’s black silhouette.
