finally got myself a set of crochet hooks - i've been wanting to learn for a while but i've also been slacking on my current embroidery project so i'm trying to power through that before i start crocheting

gonna try to make some desk chair arm covers since mine are doing that cool thing where the material breaks and peels and is really uncomfortable

i want and try to be but i don't succeed every day. i hate thinking about those times when i don't succeed, but being mindful of those times is a big part of what i can do to succeed more often.

i remember it being pretty good in the beginning and not bad towards the end. it isn't making any top 10 lists but it was enjoyable with a unique premise

this is the correct response.

get it in writing that they accept the risk that comes with not upgrading so it can't come back on you. all you can do is CYA and make recommendations - if management does not agree with your recommendations make sure you have it documented that you informed whoever is making the decision of the risk.

if you think your employer will somehow still try to hold you accountable for this, save the aforementioned correspondence using something your employer does not manage i.e. a personal device. you could also let other people than this specific individual know about this so it isn't just your word vs his.

exactly! whenever anyone says imperial units are "more intuitive" and better reflect "how it feels to humans", i can only think: obviously, you grew up with it. that's what you know.

no matter what measurement system you were raised on, it will feel intuitive to you and reflect how you as a human experience the world because you are used to measuring things in those units. having said that, i'd much rather we used metric if for nothing else than the ease of unit conversion.

corporation yet again proving that if you want to be free to use your own things that you paid for on your own computer you can never trust anything that requires an internet connection to not trample all over your rights

love it very cool really vibing with the current state of software and the internet

i think it is incredible how different cooking techniques can completely change tofu and you can do basically anything with it.

i've been making it myself for a couple years and what i make now is worlds better than when i started. recently i had a japanese bbq tofu dish at a restaurant and i legitimately do not think i am capable of preparing tofu like that myself - so cool to know that there is always new ways to enjoy tofu.

your food looks delish btw

i am curious: since those topics make up such a large portion of the content i see on lemmy, do you find that you get a good number of posts to look through without them? i mostly browse all and find i can get through just about everything i'm interested in clicking on in like 30 minutes per day.

maybe it is just a symptom of how i browse the internet and my semi-niche interests, but i find the non-linux hobby communities here to be rather lacking. i know the solution is to post to them myself and i try to, but frankly i don't have that much to post about. it also takes some willpower to keep posting to a 10 person community and get maybe a couple comments every few posts if i'm lucky, but that also could be that my posts aren't very interesting lol

true garlic heads know that the secret is to use both cooked and raw garlic to maximize your garlic per garlic

yeah if i was preparing to take billy mitchell to court thats all i would talk about or make videos about lol

plus it seems like a lot of his time and energy is going into that and the topic is similar enough to his other videos that he might as well document it.

always happy to read about someone who wants to try vegan food :)

vegan butter is great - it tastes a little off from dairy butter if you're eating it on its own (also depends on brand, some are way better than others) but it is indistinguishable (to me) in a complete dish or baked good.

all the vegan mayo i've had is a great substitute for cheap storebought mayo, but maybe i've just been getting shitty mayo lol. if you're someone who is into the fancier mayos and/or have made your own at home and know how good that can be, i haven't had any vegan stuff that measures up without additional flavorings. but like another commenter said, you can just mix and match flavors until you get something delicious.
