  Yep, trimming down the alcohol certainly helps as well. Also helps keep the beetus at bay.

  There are some alternatives to cheese that are pretty good. I’m an omnivore but my wife has convinced me that there are some good vegetarian options out there. Might be worth exploring if the low-fat cheese isn’t palatable.

  • Cashew cream on enchiladas is fantastic
  • the fake shredded cheese made out of almond isn’t so bad. We use it on salads, chili, etc. It’s expensive though.
  • TVP gives things that umami flavor, good in chili, but it more so acts like ground beef
  • Blended tofu with nutritional yeast acts as a very good ricotta substitute (coincidentally tofu also makes for a very good chocolate pie)

  With this, and trimming down my meat consumption to just a few times a week, as well as a little exercise, I’ve kept my LDL numbers below my late 20s highs, which were borderline - I’m nearing two decades older now.

  A lot of us migrated months ago when the writing was on the wall.

  Kbin became my home when I decided to move to smaller foreign county, and I’m glad it was because the land of Mastodon was a bit too distant for me. When the Kbin house was burning down, fortunately the next door neighbor, Fedia, was there to take me in and make things feel familiar.

  I suppose that’s a whole advantage of the Fediverse. One head of the hydra may get chopped down, but many others can spring out from it.

  Don’t forget to support your admins y’all.

  I think it’s that PayPal was one of the firsts to provide a method for collecting credit card transactions electronically.

  Before PayPal, you’d often have to visit a website, then call the phone number for the seller to collect payment.

  eBay needed paypal because their sellers were often not businesses, just people yardsaling stuff online.

  Coincidentally, I interned at a PayPal competitor in 1998 that went under during the bust. We had an electronic interface through MS access, but it was a still a human entering in the CC number into one of those dial pads on our side and then confirming the transaction. I’m sure nowadays you can understand why that was a terrible long term business model.

  So then they’ll move here, not such a bad deal.

  But then, who makes sure that ActivityPub doesn’t sell out?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what happened to kbin?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  True that, I just took a look at the FAQ and it still references kbin.

  Question, how do we donate to this project?

  I literally thought it was for militant, because that’s how they come off over there if you’re not 100% in lockstep with them.

  Like they were fighting the man or something.

  I was playing worldle and globle today then happened to notice that both the Himalayas and the Iranian plateau are scrunched up masses about the same size. The Iranian plateau is some of the oldest remaining geologic formations on Earth. That got me wondering if an ancient India type subcontinent also struck it hundreds of millions of years ago.

  Looking at the Anatolian peninsula, it also looks pretty similar. Is this just the nature of geology in this latitude/region of the planet?

  Well, you obviously aren't factoring in their endothermic effect. These panels work as great refrigerators as well. Stience.

  I know a lot of people who like to dip French fries in Ranch dressing, which is like sour cream with extra steps.
