Not really; turns out a bit different every time.

But an easy cheat is Everest brand; it makes a good base you can add chili powders, turmeric, cardamom and cumin to taste to tweak it how you want it.

It’s dal or dhal depending on where you’re from.

It basically means “pulse stew.” Technically you could make it with split peas or edamame instead of lentils — or kidney beans, brown beans or black eyed peas.

Just like garam masala translates to “hot spice mix”. Every area has its own version and it’s up to you to find the blend you like.

I do a dhal in the slow cooker at least once a week. Once you mix yourself a decent garam masala, it doesn’t really matter what else you add beyond the lentils. I usually toss in a can of diced tomatoes and a can of tomato paste; then some chicken breasts or some ground beef, or sometimes keep it vegan.

Adjust to taste, and it’s a meal that takes 5 minutes to prep in the morning for a delicious dinner ready to serve in the evening.

Usually I use green lentils.

And it didn’t belong to Devin Nunes….

Despite the fact that click death was avoidable with a simple bracket OR an updated driver AND only affected their very first product, I won’t really miss them.

If Jazz drives had been their first product and at a reasonable price point, things probably would’ve gone differently for them.

Depression is a clinical chemical state; people respond to it in many different ways; some respond by chasing dopamine highs.

Many socially active people are actually depressed, and the activity is their way of attempting to deal with it.

Many introverted people aren’t depressed at all, and enjoy their own company more than that of others.

Two options: one, it was sold for scrap and repurposed/refitted as an uninsurable vessel, or two: it was sold for scrap, and someone held back the registration info and has repurposed it for a limited time to obscure their actual owners/identity.

It appears to be related to exploit code that was sold by a US contractor to a Russian group; the exploits it uses are all patched on recent OS versions, but older versions of iOS 17 and 18 are vulnerable.

They said your statement was incorrect; either there’s a way to salvage the planet in a habitable form, or there isn’t — but “indistinguishable from magic” doesn’t come into it.

Personally, I think energy is only a portion of the problem space; we need to slow climate change enough that humanity can continue to adapt with it.

After all, we survived multiple ice ages; will the climate destroy our technological advances, or will those advances enable us to adapt to a changing world?

The world is likely highly overpopulated at the present, but we can lose a significant chunk of humanity and still preserve the body of knowledge and many of the technologies that we currently enjoy.

Collapses are inevitable, but total collapse is still avoidable.

Mitigation is always possible. If we don’t do it intentionally, eventually the climate will force our hand. This will result in billions of human deaths, extinction of many organisms, and massive destruction of the current global ecology, but it will happen.

Remember, the Sahara wasn’t always a desert, and North America was more than once covered in ice.

We’re likely to die off due to poisoning the environment long before the climate makes a significant dent in our 8bn population.

We’re not going to escape sea level rise or some places becoming uninhabitable, nor a redistribution of water and total destruction of all weather models. But we can slow the changes to the point where we can adapt faster than the climate changes… and the more we mitigate, the more lives we save along the way.

Al Capone got it wrong; when he started being investigated for tax fraud, he should have run for President.

I bet it moves to Windows 10.

Trump mulls all sorts of stuff. Invading Greenland and Canada come to mind, as do hamberders and cofefe.

Well, they’re not wrong, but that’s a statement that should have been made AFTER one directed to Israel and the US, to stop making the entire area unsafe by waging an unprovoked war.

Why haven’t Russia and China started such a resolution already? Why hasn’t everyone else signed on?

And where’s Canada in all this?

I didn’t realize he was still alive! I thought he’d gone to be with his unicorn decades ago.

He EVISCERATED them!

As a Canadian… Americans pretend to be Canadians abroad all the time. As a result, everyone thinks I’m American at first, until they realize I behave differently.

I can usually spot the American in a crowd, no matter their skin colour. It’s generally in the worldview they project.

I can also usually spot the Chinese in the crowd for the same reason.

Unless you can fake the “We’re the best” attitude instead of the “nobody’s better than I can be” attitude, I wouldn’t try to fake being Chinese in many places. You’ll just come off as fake.

Better to just be yourself and hold the views and attitudes you actually hold. If you’re worried about how others will receive that, just be more private with the personal information you share.

I am speaking with every G7 country and every partner impacted by the war in the Middle East to stress the principle of de-escalation,” she said.

Is this the G7 that includes the US and excludes Russia?

Or does this one include Russia and exclude the US?

Surely NATO could make an exception here and come to the aid of a non-member who’s the victim of aggression.

Reddit is big enough that it’s a microcosm of humanity. The Fediverse hasn’t reached that level yet.

When I was on Reddit, most of the subreddits I hung out on were small, supportive, and friendly. A few I monitored weren’t — on purpose, so I could see what was going on in other places.

Funny thing is, for the most part, I’ve found matches for all those subreddits on Lemmy communities— although I had to browse through a bunch of hosting services to build up the same level of diversity.
