I've been getting into a recipe book lately that regularly suggests using the zest of a lemon/lime as well as just the juice. I can't believe I used to throw it away! It adds a slight bitter counterbalance as well as some nice floral notes to whatever I'm preparing.

The only multiplayer game I really play is Team Fortress 2. I learnt the mechanics over a decade ago and I understand it. My reflexes aren't amazing, but I "get it". I can't be bothered to learn any new multiplayer game mechanics, so when I want to get online and play a shooter I go for TF2.

Coop games are another matter, but yeah, TF2. My desire to play it comes and goes, but it's always there waiting for me.

I know you're asking about transmission, but.. Qbittorrent has an option in the GUI that allows you to specify what network interface it uses to communicate through. Therefore if your VPN isn't up, it won't use your normal network. And if your VPN drops out, it also won't use your normal network. Just another option in case you're interested.

I reckon if you showed the picture of the giraffe to a human and asked what's wrong with it, many people wouldn't notice anything "off" about its coat.

Harvey Birdman, Off The Air, SuperJail, Space Ghost Coast to Coast.. most adult swim shows from the mid 2000s

OH I forgot! Delocated. Adult Swim live action from the (late) 2000s. Very funny.

I've been looking for Spongebob in Latino spanish for ages

Spotify algorithm pushes artists that pay them to push them to you. Get your recommendations via more organic means if you can. That means blogs, real people. Screw the spotify recommendation slop (and I say this as someone who has spotify premium.)

Nice, they look good. I'll look into it!

Threading? What's that?

Oh nice! That sounds really handy. My bottom threaded bit gets gummed up with the good stuff and it's also a (minor) pain to unscrew sometimes. I'll look into getting a better grinder, I'm still on an unbranded random one I got as a freebie once.

That said, when I do end up buying a quality grinder I want it to be the final one I ever buy (unless I lose it). Therefore I was considering buying a two part one. Feels like a two part one could conceivably last me forever.. right?

EDIT: okay I'm browsing their website now and they look really nice.

Hi there, I was going to post this on your crosspost on !ultralight@lemmy.world which is where I saw this first. I see that you're more of an end user rather than someone uploading this info, but I'm gonna dump my spiel regardless I'm afraid:

If you are going to put this info somewhere I would suggest you dump the info on OpenStreetMap. The information you put onto OSM will get used EVERYWHERE else- komoot, alltrails, Osmand, Organic Maps, you name it. And the license is permissive so everyone else can use it. All Trails (to take an example) is all very well and good but all the nice pics, all the info, all your time and energy gets put into their nice little closed website which they then use to make THEIR website better and nobody else's!

So at the very least, put the info you collect into OpenStreetMap first, and then elsewhere. There is a lot more info you can put into OSM than you may think at first glance. Width of trails, Trail difficulty, trail visibility, etc etc. All this gets put into tags. (even trail dangers if I remember correctly) This info then will improve the hiking experience for everyone using a mapping application around where you have mapped. (Everyone of course, except for people using google maps or apple maps, yuk!)

Now this extra bit is tailored more towards your original question, as an end user. The closest thing I can think of is https://hiking.waymarkedtrails.org/ as someone else put in here. The info, of course, comes from OSM. If the trail you are looking for isn't marked there, you can put it into OSM and it will eventually make it onto that website. (As well as Osmand, and Organic Maps, and Komoot, and... you get me)

Music-wise: Radio stations "oh but the radio sucks" yeah but online radio stations don't. They don't have any ads. Start with NTS 1 and 2 and go from there. Last.fm browsing USER pages. RYM user pages. Online music guides written by real people. Recommendations from friends- real people.

Video-wise: I honestly don't watch youtubers. Their output and quality isn't up to snuff. No I don't care about speedruns, about "internet rabbit holes" about any of that. About people restoring old gear. About basically anything. So I watch actual TV shows and actual movies, and you guessed it, I get those recommendations from REAL PEOPLE.

I deleted my original comment cos I felt it was a little negative but somehow that didn't propagate across the fediverse.. weird!

There are third party dynavap addons?? Wow! I'm still on a 2020 model M and a normal lighter (I live at such high altitude that no jet lighters I can get my hands on even work)
