There was something about the shape and color of the old wings that always made me thing there was an alert dot, like they didn't fit in. I really like the hexagon background, colors, and wings, in the new logo.

But I think the shape of the bee itself could be improved; I'd round bottom instead of having a stinger point. And if the thing on the top is a crown I think it should be a different color, otherwise I just have no idea what that thing on top is, maybe I just don't know enough about bee anatomy?

Thanks for the update and hope you have less trouble in the future! Don't worry about the downtime I really appreciate that here it's serving a clear purpose unlike Twitter lol

You should make another prediction now for what social networks will be like in another 7 years

Do you think Tabletop would be the right place to discuss Dimension 20 or other actual-play content or would that be better categorized in something like entertainment?

 

I submitted a similar bug report previously where the wrong post context can sometimes load when clicking the link to respond to a specific comment. A /comment/... url.

Now I am also sometimes getting the wrong post title and body simply navigating to posts themselves from the main feed. Notice how in my screenshots both pages have the same url https://beehaw.org/post/721194 and comments, but one has the incorrect title and body.

I think this is a very important issue to resolve in case a NSFW post is mistakenly loaded for someone who does not wish to see NSFW content.

That reminds me, one of my favorite sushi rolls to make is cucumber and sauerkraut. My wife thought it was really strange when she saw me making them, I don't know why since other pickled veggies are common in vegetable rolls, but when I finally convinced her to try one she really liked it as well.

My wife and I met 8 years ago playing Dota 2. Now our friend group is all late 20s early 30s, and we mostly play pve games like Darktide a couple times a week, but when we can we also meet up for tabletops. We will definitely continue playing games since we enjoy them. My in-laws just retired and they have gotten really into pokemon go. My mom never really 'got' any game but now she's really into Lego and jigsaw puzzles. One of my friend's parents are also really into tabletops and will sometimes join us. It's super cool that you and your kids have a hobby that you share and bond over, and I hope to have that with my own child someday!

Great find! Best I've done was find a perfectly good table next to the dumpster lol

What interesting questions, I'll start with a suggestion for an addition: mushrooms! I think they'll really help to bring out the umami of the dish, and there are so many different types with variations of flavor and texture: I add portabella mushrooms to risotto, king oyster to soups and stir-frys, enoki is also really good in soup, black mushrooms are good in anything... I'll just grab a few random varieties every time I'm at the store.

If the seasoning feels lacking try adding some acidity (lemon, lime, or rice vinegar), white pepper, and/or curry powder.

Also I'm not great at estimating dimensions, especially now that I'm trying to think in metric units, but I think when I saute things my cuts are considerably larger to preserve more of the texture of the ingredients. I'll only shred the carrots if I'm cooking them with the rice in the rice cooker, otherwise I'll go for something like this and have the onion julienned instead of diced, cabbage in like 1 inch squares, baby bok choi leaves whole. Oh also I feel like the baby white bok choi is better for cooking in the rice cooker, but the baby green bok choi is better for sautes.


Also choy-sum is like my new favorite vegetable but I just normally have it on its own, as opposed to bok choi, cabbage, or brocolli which I normally saute with other things. I'll also usually cook gai-lan on its own, as well as green beans, asparagus, and brussels sprouts. Since green beans need so much time and heat to cook, I'll normally use snow pea pods or sugar snap pea pods instead if I'm working with a mix of veggies.

For brussels sprouts I cut them in half and saute them face down on high heat until they fully caramelize to a golden brown, then flip them on their backs and add a tiny bit of water so they steam just enough to cook through. You don't want to boil them or steam them too much or it will create bitter notes.

My curry will always have onion, carrot, mushroom, and cauliflower. Daikon, cabbage, yamaimo/nagaimo, bamboo shoots, and water chestnuts, are also good additions. For lentils I'll usually cook them with onion, mushroom, carrot, celery, and tuscan kale. I prefer them to still have some texture but my wife prefers it as a soup instead. Oh and I forgot to mention I'll usually also pair the quinoa with sauted spinach, kale, and bell pepper.

 

Not sure if this is related to the servers getting hammered by all the new traffic, but I noticed when I look at a reply in my inbox and click the star to see the context for the comment, the post that is shown above the comment is totally random. It is not the post in which that comment was made, and the context that is shown changes each time.

Hopefully I did a decent enough job explaining the issue, or at the very least others will be able to replicate it.
