Just please don't use one of the kid voices for technical videos, a la babywogue and their GNOME development videos.

Laughs in Colorado

That's a nice Imperial Valley agricultural industry you got there, it'd be a shame if we just dammed the Colorado at the Utah border.

Unless CA could convince OR/WA to give them more water, the inland states are critical for freshwater here.

Hell, I dealt with that all the way back in 2010/2011 with the Cliq XT. It was supposed to get Android 1.6, and Moto kept stringing everyone along until after Android 2.0 came out, when they quietly stopped saying an update would come. Worst part is, IIRC the Cliq (same exact phone hardware wise, except with a physical keyboard) received the promised update.

Ever since then, I've sworn off Moto aside from the Z2 Force which I managed to get new for like $250, and even that one became my rooted plaything until the charging port fried itself last year.

Moto, aside from the brief time they were part of Google, has always been awful about software updates, unfortunately.

My partner bought a study Bible for academic use a few months ago, and our roommate bought herself one (for actual worship use) a couple weeks ago?

Right now in summer: 67 overnight while we sleep (helps that we have tiered power pricing where late night power is almost half the price of it during the day), 72 when we're up, and 80 between 2 and 6pm when we have the most expensive power hours. Luckily we're in an apartment that's like three years old, so it's surprisingly well insulated and hasn't gotten above 73 during those hot hours.

We were late to the SMS game in the US as well, most European countries saw mass SMS adoption back in the late 90s and early 2000s, whereas it didn't catch on in the same way till about 2005 or 2006 here. I still remember the days of being limited to 400 texts a month, and having certain friends growing up who I couldn't text because their parents would not get a plan that had any buckets of them.

It's an early adopter problem, and it could be much worse (looking at you, Tildes, where I swear I was one of less than 10 users who were not either well compensated professionals (tech or otherwise), or in school at the time to become one, at least before the latest Reddit exodus. At least most of the Lemmy instances, while tech heavy, don't have the same smugness that a lot of nearly-exclusively highly compensated white collar worker spaces do. (Not that Tildes is unique in that space in the least, Hacker News is utterly insufferable, and the personalfinance and povertyfinance subreddit split arose for the same reasons)

Luckily I think Lemmy has more potential to get more early adopters who don't work with tech professionally, especially on an instance like Beehaw. I haven't felt like some kind of lower class interloper (as someone who is in lower level retail management for work) here, unlike many other super techy spaces.

Most home processing methods like boiling, cooking, and frying potatoes have been shown to have minimal effects on solanine levels. For example, boiling potatoes reduces the α-chaconine and α-solanine levels by only 3.5% and 1.2% respectively, but microwaving potatoes reduces the alkaloid content by 15%. Deep frying at 150 °C (302 °F) also does not result in any measurable change.

They're no more toxic than cooked potatoes, unless you only eat microwaved ones.

No, never. AFAIK they aren't toxic, just that the starch is poorly digested. Either way, I've never gotten sick from it, so 🤷

It's odd because I have had digestive issues off and on through the years, but the potatoes have never precipitated it. (It's mostly anything spicy, which sucks as I love spicy food-- it's a price I pay willingly sometimes)

I love eating a raw potato like an apple, for whatever reason. Any time I'm cooking a dish with potatoes, I'll wash and peel one for me to eat. My boyfriend looked like I had grown a third arm the first time he saw me do it.

It's the perfect mix of crunchy and juicy, but not sweet.
