They actually did do something similar to this but with beer. They extracted ancient yeast DNA from 45mya that was preserved in amber and used it to brew beer.

Unfortunately no longer available, which is quite the shame since I really want to try it lol.

Canonically, the True Power (of the Dark One) was granted only to those who served him, whereas the One Power was open to all channelers. This makes a “One Power” subscription very funny to me.

No matter where you go, everyone’s connected.

Coffee crisps and ketchup chips are the two things I always buy when I’m in Canada. I wish we had them in the States.

senkora ,

My favorite has always been crunch bars. So good.

I never quite got over how the Aiel look Irish, have fantasy-Arab/Berber culture, and eat Native American food. And I read the entire series!

Has anyone ever tried mulled coffee? (www.olympiacoffee.com)

I know that it’s the middle of summer (northern hemisphere). I know that even the thought of adding fruit juice and mulling spices to coffee is probably horrifying. I do not expect it to taste good. And yet, I had a thought about it and found that it seems to be a thing and so… has anyone tried it?...

senkora OP ,

Oooh, definitely going to try this one.

‘Where ambition goes to die’: These tech workers flocked to Austin during the pandemic. Now they’re desperate to get out.::Drawn by the promise of an emerging tech hub, some tech workers who flocked to Austin found a middling tech scene, subpar culture, and scorching heat.

Austin is a nice city. With all due respect, and as someone who grew up in Texas but now lives in NYC, it is exactly this kind of condescension that makes a lot of Texans dislike people from the coasts.

senkora ,

Fair enough. I think it’s okay if you’ve experienced a place, given it a shot, decided it wasn’t for you, and moved away.

One thing I’ve noticed in NYC however, is how many people have an uninformed and strong default opinion that anywhere besides the west or east coast in unlivable, and that bothers me.

Your comment is reasonable, but a lot of the comments to this post reflect that same caustic attitude and it saddens me.

The inverse square law only applies to undirected things, because the surface area of a sphere is proportional to the square of radius. The parent specified directed, like a laser.

I felt the same way about running until I started getting into triathlons. Watch out for that trap; races are at least $200 each, and road bikes ain’t cheap!

I think it’s okay to separate the work from the author in this case. As you say, he’s made some really neat stuff that stands on its own merits.

And given that he is essentially a professional contrarian it isn’t surprising that he’s had some misses as well.

senkora ,

Suit yourself. I obviously don’t agree with that stance of his. But sometimes bad people still produce interesting works that are worth learning from, such as the submission in this post.

senkora ,

So what you’re saying is, it is true that I will no longer have French installed.

Does Nix have Guix-style grafts? I know that in theory that is how Guix lessens the minor-update-to-core dependency problem. But I only use Guix for dev environments so I don’t know how well it works in practice.

I could see the US Digital Service doing this. They’re pretty solid.

How many people here have actually used XMPP?

With all the current discussion about the threat that Instagram Threads has on the Fediverse and that article about how Google Embrace Extend Extinguished XMPP, I was left very confused, since that was the first time I’ve heard that Gchat supported XMPP or what XMPP actually is, and I’ve had my personal Gmail since beta (no,...

I used it with Facebook Messenger to exchange OTR encrypted messages with one of my Facebook friends.

There’s a version of this in China called Longevity Noodles: msshiandmrhe.com/longevity-noodles/

The idea is to make one very long noodle to represent a wish for a very long life.

It’s important not to conflate git and github. Cloning is a git operation. Forking is a github operation.

I would recommend reading the excellent pro git book to understand how git works from the ground up: git-scm.com/book/en/v2

I’m not aware of a similar guide to learning github but I think it will be much easier to pick up once you have a better understanding of what git provides on its own.

Unless you need to interact with other people, you can always just clone the repo, work locally, and create your own github repo (without forking) to act as a remote and backup.

Does this mean that users and communities are in the same namespace in Lemmy?
