Is it really cheaper? I thought the bags were the cheapest it gets since they're so low quality, I was expecting to spend a good bit more on loose leaf.

Its app on a specific platform? Or do you mean the entire service? Seems weird that they would sunset their only product.

Tidal has no official Linux app, which is shocking considering their demographic. But a hero has made an app that gets pretty close. Under the hood it's the web client with some add-ons to support full quality streaming. The user experience is generally fairly close to an official app.

I used soundiiz to convert all my content over, and of probably over 10,000 songs there were less than 100 unavailable, so library isn't a concern. The increased quality is nice, but the big reason I choose tidal is that instead of doing unnecessary stuff like podcasts they pay artists better. As much as 3X according to some things I've read. I have not verified those numbers.

Cards on the table: for Google money I'd do it too. If they want to enshittify their product until the competition has a fighting chance, who am I to stop them? Sure, it's an annoying and anticonsumer thing to do. But making a "free" product's bad qualities harder to circumvent isn't the ethical hill I'm going to die on.

I took a class on nonviolent protest in college. Covered the lives and work of ghandi, MLKJ, thoreau. Very enlightening.

I can't speak to any of this, I've never attempted the from scratch version. I copied the recipe and instructions just to preserve them.

[–] Thoven@lemdro.id 1 points 10 months ago

The copied instructions are for the from scratch variation. The OG with premade mayo has you huck everything in there, and that's what I typically do. I usually mix the mayo and water before I add the rest of the ingredients so I can get the consistency right, but I don't think it would hurt anything to wait to the end. We mix it with an electric whisk just because it makes for slightly easier dishes.

Funny enough, the greatest blessing in India simply adds the words "in law"

This was the answer, but it seems to be bugged on the current samsung OS. Every time I lock my phone it comes back and I have to toggle that notification category on and off again. Blocking notifications from the app wholesale gets rid of them, but I'm worried I'd be turning off something important if I did that.

I still can't get any of their communities to come up in search

Is combat focus a deal breaker? If not: Faster Than Light Volcanoids (early access) Darkest dungeon (kind of) Xcom

If you step away from the ship, things like mass effect and outer worlds come to mind. If the ship can be a base there's a whole world there. Astroneer, planet crafter (early access), Starbound, terraria, Subnautica If exploration/colony sim is cool you're looking at factorio, rift breaker, frostpunk, ixion (hardcore!), satisfactory

I expect I've stayed from your prompt at this point. It's a tough niche. Good luck with your search!

Edit: on mobile, don't know why my line breaks didn't work. Forgive the formatting.

AL resident here - he doesn't get as much direct support as you might think. Most of the state votes straight red without even reading the names, so he only needs enough support/bullying competition to get through the primaries.
