I use a app called KnownCalls that simply sends any call from outside my address book to voicemail. Works wonders.

I learned that a ways back, told a streamer and gave him a buck to confirm it. Dollar well spent lol.

Folks will rage no matter what. Strict enforcement and you're the fun police, lax and you're letting it turn to shit.

Nice meme.

American omelettes are thicker, fluffier, have more fillings, and often have some browning on the outside of them. After those in difficulty you have French omelettes which are thinner, cheese and butter at most, and no browning. Then there's the Japanese omelette which is a whole other thing.

There's also others beyond those like the spanish omelette (which is extra thick.) and tamagoyaki (which is a rolled omelette that takes a special pan) but personally I'm not especially interested in either.

Making American omelettes. Helped a bit that I got new non-stick pans. The ones I was using were all tore up.

Are there any animes or TV shows you can't stop recommending? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Bojack Horseman and Violet Evergarden. If someone is a bit deeper into anime, Tatami Galaxy as well, since the subs go pretty fast. Ping Pong the Animation gets a nod if folks aren't super hung up on aesthetic.

What is your solution to the problem in the world you're the most vocal about? in c/[email protected]

Fix the electoral college by either abolishing it entirely (personal choice) or fixing the house to properly represent the population such that the senate doesn't cause an oversized share of electoral reps. The Wyoming Rule is one option.

We could also just go back to something like one rep per 100,000 population in a state, which would in turn make the house have 3,000 members. This sounds wild until you realize Parliament in the U.K. has 650 members... representing a population roughly 1/5 ours.

Google looks to be fully shutting down unsupported extensions and ad blockers in Chrome, such as uBlock Origin – which might push some folks to switch to Firefox in c/[email protected]

Unrelated one- https://www.neowin.net/amp/ublock-origin-lite-maker-ends-firefox-store-support-slams-mozilla-for-hostile-reviews/

The two in I use are for twitter-

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/blue-blocker/ - Blocked in Firefox since after 0.3.5, which makes it useless since 0.3.5 was prior to the forced change to x, iirc.

https://github.com/dimdenGD/OldTwitter - Removed from Firefox entirely. Still available on Chrome.

Combined those two make the site look like old twitter, lets me save videos with a right click, and blocks twitter blue users automatically.

Could Pac-Man eat the Ghost of Christmas Past? (lemmy.world)
 

Presume he had just ate a power pellet, of course.

Followup matchups for your consideration:

  1. Slimer, from "Ghostbusters"
  2. Sadako, from "The Ring"
  3. Freddy Krueger, from "Nightmare on Elm Street"
  4. The clown from "It"
  5. A ring wraith from "Lord of the Rings"

What would be the odd addition to your dream house? (lemmy.world)
 

Somehow you've gotten your dream home. The cabin in the mountains, penthouse downtown, castle nestled deep in the woods, nuclear bunker in the hills, or whatever. Whats the bit you'd add that might raise a brow from others? The fireman's pole? The slide? The moat? The hidden room behind a bookshelf where you keep your stuffed animals?

3
Whats a hobby/craft that you wouldn't expect that has an incredibly high ceiling either monetarily or in sheer skill? (lemmy.world)
 

For example, I'm sure the average joe doesn't know just how expensive calligraphy pens can be, or how deep the rabbit hole goes on video game speedruns.
