Bake the potato. Add sour cream, chives, and a dash of seeded mustard to the final mix. Bacon bits are optional.
This is how I learned to like a particular subset of potato salad.
- Comment on Is there a federated Strava alternative? 4 days ago:
The main limitation I always had with Strava was limited activities. I know there are off road onewheelers who log their routes as ice skating, for example.
It would also be nice to save points of interest that aren’t linear routes. E.g. nice vantage points, businesses that accommodate group rides, public water/toilets/power.

Soju and fried chicken is also an excellent option.

True, but it already felt like a cheap shot. The highland cows are another one.

The £ is a bit of a giveaway.
- Comment on Do you use your blinker in a car? 1 week ago:
It’s actually easier to just use it every time. Deciding whether you need to is cognitive load that’s better spent on other things.

Around here we still have them, and they provide free wifi. My home is almost close enough to pick up the signal from one in the main street.

Pebbles are small enough to fit in your mouth. This is clearly a stone.

- Comment on Why there are few video games with a lot of mythological pantheons? 4 weeks ago:
Which mythologies would you like to see represented?
I think this would apply to all media, and probably just comes down to some traditions being more familiar and having more cultural impact in general.

- Comment on Which game is it? 5 weeks ago:
I kind of miss when No Man’s Sky was an endless, empty expanse. That sense of loneliness and futility was an emotional experience that it doesn’t have now. It’s become a much better game, no doubt, but putting time and careful planning into that long crawl towards the galactic centre felt right.
- Comment on You guys have to end it 1 month ago:
If you’re on a steep hill, yes sometimes you need to use the handbrake to get moving. This had to be demonstrated when I got my licence, but to be fair some manual vehicles now have automatic hill start. Still a good technique to learn because it doesn’t always activate.

When progressivism moves toward conservatism, conservatism moves toward regressivism.

- Comment on Are "Lifetime" Cloud Storage Plans scams? 2 months ago:
It doesn’t seem to make sense, but I gave pCloud a chance years ago, and I’ve been using the lifetime plan ever since. I feel like I got my money’s worth, so not too worried if I eventually have to migrate elsewhere.
