R****t felt like the place for tech savvy people when I first joined a decade and a half ago (I feel old now). It was confusing and I had no idea how to use it but the content was better than 9gag which was hugely popular at the time. Felt the same way about the fediverse half a year ago. Now it's all natural to me.

Lately my cat starts meowing while standing at the shoe dresser. As soon as I go there he tries to climb on my shoulders. I bend over a bit and he climbs on my back and wants me to go around the house. I was enslaved as soon as he entered our home.

Keep it as it is. This is how I found it and it's fitting.

No, because after a Friday half the time comes the dreaded 13 hour shift which sucks my energy enough to not be able to do anything on Sunday.

Healthcare is a bitch sometimes.

Kiyv oblast is not Russian last time I checked. The bears, wolves and workers might have a bone to pick with you though.

Oh my, doing the craft gods' work! Amazing work. They nailed the colours almost completely.

I follow hashtags that I like and if I like a person's posts I'd check their profile out and follow them. I also look at who interacts with my posts, and give them a follow as well, if I want their interests to show up on my feed. I also follow a couple of a.gup.pe groups. Bookstodon is a fun one, I got some cool suggestions there. They were also integrated with lemmy but I haven't seen them work well here for now.

After his interview about plant aliens coming to Earth and looking in horror at how people eat vegetables, I refuse to listen to anything that this man says. I used to really like him as a kid, shame.

I have a 1L french press jug that I fill with 80g of coffee, coarse grind (34 on 1zpreszo JX) and top with cold water making sure all the grounds are wet and stirring lightly to make sure they're all wet. I leave it in the fridge for 12-18 hours and filter through the mesh. I dillute with hot water or just microwave it after dillution if I'm too lazy to boil (blasphemy I know). I sometimes mix it with tonic water or ice and drink chilled.

Make sure to pop it in the fridge. Room temperature extracts the acids somewhat which isn't to my preference.

Cold brew, followed by French press. With cold brew you want a coarse grind but it doesn't really matter THAT much compared to pour over. You just dillute to taste. I do it in a french press so it's easily filtered. The french press is also forgiving. I've oversteeped by 5 minutes and the coffee is still drinkable. Lately I've been mostly drinking supermarket generic Arabica bean brews since I'm on a tight budget but I wouldn't do cold brew with specialty coffee anyway!

My cat is so food motivated he eats absolutely everything. Obviously has a preference for wet food with gravy so I buy a bunch of different flavours in bulk but he's happy to eat the same thing every day. He also loves olives, bread (wholemeal more than white, sourdough has an advantage too. Local bakery bread is where things are really at. Supermarket bread is a mixed bag, he usually ignores it because it's crap), seeds, nuts, potato chips, lentils, hummus, yogurt, and grass.

It's been a calm week with lots of free time. I made a lot of progress on my secret present project which went from 50 stitches to 600 in the matter of three days (actually two as I can only work on it every other day). The November deadline is more than feasible and by the looks of it it might be done by mid August, September if we count the frame order.

The Greenhouse of Oddities SAL is coming along nicely. I stitched most of Maria Merian, as well as the butterflies she's painting. The brown blob on the top right is going to be an elf owl once I'm done with the backstitching. Speaking of backstitching, I'm going to work on it as soon as I finish this part of the pattern which is actually 3 parts in one, each part meant to be stitched in a week. I'm definitely having fun with it!

Obligatory progress pics!

I used to be a "one project at a time" kind of stitcher but lately I get sidetracked by other projects that I give out as presents so it's always at least two at a time. Now it gets kind of difficult when I have a deadline for one but I also have to do it in secret... While living with that person and spending a good chunk of my free time hanging out with them! So for the past two weeks I ended up making...about 100 stitches in total 😅

 

I'd like to "merge" my mastodon feed with my Lemmy one. Since I'm used to the reddit-like GUI and I've never been a Twitter user, is it possible to do that from Lemmy, or ideally from the Jerboa app? Do you know if there are plans to do that?
