@npub1zak…d6uu How funny; I used exactly the same line when talking with my husband about First Wives Club today.
And I wonder what your parents were trying to say in showing you that film. Things are rocky, but they might work out just fine?

Does anyone have any interesting simple and low-cost vegan recipes or, better yet, ways to use red kidney beans?
My MIL very kindly got me a bunch of them as a care package. I tried to use them with my usual basmati rice and dressing, but it had a really bitter taste that was unpleasant.

I have AppleCare+ for my AirPod Pro 2's, and it expires at the end of the year. This is the first time I've had AppleCare. Do I get a chance to renew it for longer, or is that the end and it becomes out of warranty?

I had a disturbing thought about when you call a company, and their phone tree system says your call is being recorded for quality and training purposes. I always assumed the training purposes were improving human skills. But what if, all along, they were getting your buy-in to train their generative AI models? Questioning minds want to know. 🤔

It truly is summer winding down. Hummingbirds in the area are becoming more scarce, so they must soon be migrating south for winter. Our nights are around 60F, but my parents 45 minutes west and 1000 feet higher in elevation are getting high 30F at night.

Does anyone know how to report suggestions for the Glitch-soc version of Mastodon, such as what tech.lgbt uses? I know the place to send Mastodon bugs/suggestions, but not Glitch-soc.
I love the way it can auto collapse certain posts, but it currently only shows one line when collapsed in your timeline. I'd like to make it at least 2 lines. You can specify how long is "long" text, but I couldn't find what I'm describing.
Thanks!

I met with an occupational therapist today for long-standing tendinitis and "tennis elbow" & "golfers elbow" for both of my arms. She mentioned PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) as something that could possibly help. This is a new concept for me; does anyone have any thoughts or anecdotes they can share? It seems to be a newer technique not (yet) covered by insurance in the USA.

@npub1m0g…642v Ah, I love bromeliads! They are such interesting plants.

The Logi keyboard software on macOS (or the firmware; can't be sure) has some, well, issues. If I assign the keyboard to a different, unused, device profile with the 1-2-3 buttons, my kitty will still bring up the calculator and enter numbers, and do print screens, whenever she lies on the keyboard (as she loves to do).

@npub1sfl…gczt I thought I recall part of the Face ID training process being glasses on and glasses off.

Wow, Buster has joined Belle on the computer desk to keep me company! He *never* does this; it's always just my little girl.

I enjoyed baklava as a dessert before becoming vegan. I believe honey is the only blocker with it. Any recommendations for a similar dessert that is vegan? I assume it would be something I’d make at home, so recipe links are appreciated.

@npub13q6…tcfa I *love* cottage gardens, as does my mother-in-law! But her older son needs neatness and order. Makes for an interesting combination, trying to accommodate both people's tastes.

We are having quite the experience with grasshoppers eating our tree leaves and broccoli leaves. Are there any natural deterrents?
Otherwise, I read in the local paper website that they are plentiful this year because of the warm weather, and there isn't much you can do except hope for the best.

@npub16xr…qzyf Thanks for sharing your experience! I have lightweight metal frames currently. If I can’t do contacts, I’ll definitely try plastic frames.

Our mint is starting to grow flowers! We didn't even know they would do that. Reminds me a bit of a strawberry plant.
