  • What is your top 'non-essential' backpacking gear item ?

    Jump

  • When I feel like bringing a luxury item, it's my Helinox Chair Zero. Every pound counts, but at my age being able to sit for a few hours without my back hurting too much helps a lot.

  • Their web site is down, but their Github account is currently still available, with 3D printing files and software for their microlab.

  • askBeehaw (not-so-serious edition): what's the dumbest thing you did as a teenager?

    Jump

  • So many, many choices.

    I think my all-time dumbest came when I was about 22, so it doesn't fit here. In my teens...probably driving drunk at speeds up to 100mph on the mountain roads up above Pasadena with the headlights off at night.

    New research underscores benefits of gender-affirming hormones, rebutting anti-trans claims

  • Vegans! What are your best freezer friendly one pot recipes!

    Jump

  • I tend to wing it a lot with stew-ish things. Here's one set of rough instructions:

    • Saute any combo of mushrooms/onions/garlic/cherry tomatoes/peppers in olive oil
    • Add 3 cups water/vegetable broth, bring to boil
    • Stir in 1 cup green lentils/red lentils/yellow split peas/green split peas, stir as it comes back to a boil
    • Season with salt/pepper/smoke seasoning/chili/whatever looks good
    • Simmer 15-30 minutes till done

    Freezes fine, though I usually eat it before it makes it to the freezer

  • Chinese culinary craze of stir-fried stones rocks the internet

  • Terrifying. I worry enough about chipping my teeth on things like pits as it is.

    What do you eat that other people think is odd?

  • The first cultivated meat is approved for sale in the US

    Jump

  • Looks like only available in one restaurant for now, but it's a start.

    "For one thing, cultivated meat is not vegan or vegetarian." -> I know some vegans who would disagree with that, on the grounds that no animal cruelty or slaughter is involved. I suspect there will be a fair bit of debate on this as cultivated meat becomes more widespread. I would guess just like we've already got "I'm a vegetarian who eats fish" we'll end up with "I'm a vegan who does/doesn't eat cultivated meat."

    You might want to cross-post this to https://beehaw.org/c/food too.

  • Mastodon thinks Lemmy’s privacy stinks. What say you?

    Jump

  • In my opinion it's unreasonable to think anything can truly be deleted in a federated system. Even if the official codebase is updated to do complete deletion & overwrite, it's impossible to prevent some bad actor from federating in a fork that just ignores deletion requests.

    Seems sensible to just not post anything that you don't want to be available for the lifetime of the internet.

  • I would add The Abolition of Work though that might be a controversial choice. Did a lot to get me thinking back in the day, though.
