  • What are your favorite lamb recipes? I have a bunch of random cuts in the freezer. Looking for something beyond curry or ragu.

    I love using it in the Xian Famous Foods noodles recipe, but lack the time to make everything from scratch.

  • Does anyone have an AI tool that I can feed thousands of old bookmarks and have it come up with a reasonable taxonomy for me?

  • I will admit that it is amazing how many people I recognized on Threads on Day 1. Finding people on Mastodon and Bluesky is kind of a pain, but Threads seems to have figured it out. Even people I know but don’t follow on IG are showing in my feed.

  • Initial thoughts on Threads:
    – App is smoother than Bluesky
    – No public API that I can find
    – No way to filter your stream for just people you follow.
    – Content so far is a mix between LinkedIn and Twitter. So it is the worst in its class.

  • I’ve been on Threads for 5 minutes and it is already filled with garbage. No thanks.

  • With ActivityPods, you have only one profile, one outbox, one inbox and one list of followers – all in a single place. Applications connect to your Pod to post activities, read the inbox and fetch data. And of course they can connect to any existing fediverse application !

  • In case anyone else needs it over the holiday, 1 750ml bottle of Reposado tequila can make 16 margaritas.
    – 24oz Reposado Tequila
    – 12oz Cointreau
    – 12oz lime juice
    – 8oz simple syrup, 1:1

  • I have deep reverence for the tinkerers who make their own tools, whether hardware or software. Those are my people.

  • Does anyone I know use Nostr? I’m npub1nd95vhkam3wkde0utk8tmc066462dfg5pv0yuxpkrs797xcv4nnqcfqw3h there.

    Just pasting that feels ridiculous. Seems cool, but not all that user friendly.

  • Sweet decor at Grandma’s pool 🐸

  • I learned something new tonight: How to recharge the refrigerant in my car’s AC system. Easier than I expected.

  • Charlie is getting more adventurous and capable every day. I’m so proud of him.

  • Our purple peas are ready for harvest. We used some in our pasta tonight, along with fresh basil, chives, parsley, garlic, and lemon.

  • The farm I get our veggie share from set up an email group anyone could reply to for members instead of making it announcement-only. Rookie mistake. Now we have never-ending reply chains from boomers.

  • A-typical weather day. Four different thunderstorms throughout the day with periods of sunshine in between.

  • Newly rediscovered cocktail recipe from Trader Vic: Māori Punch https://cocktailwonk.com/2023/06/maori-punch-an-undiscovered-trader-vic-original.html
