onions don't caramelise when dry because there's not enough water in them to conduct heat through all the onion. add water and the cooking speeds up.
YOU'RE WELCOME.

#hello #forkiverse Not a coder and have been paying for a Squarespace site for the best of the last decade. I used Claude to v code a database of all my poetry and generate a new website with a poem of the day that could be subscribed to by email. I'm staggered at the ease and accuracy. Felt very exciting, took me back to my Dreamweaver days.. Would love anyone's thoughts. www.tomharding.net

My comments are littered with folks asking "why is it a problem if your blocklist is public on Bluesky?"
I'm glad you asked.
"Who you block" is a reasonable indicator of your personal alignments. If you block TERFs, you're likely trans-friendly, if not trans yourself. If you block white supremacists, you're likely in support of multiculturalism.
If you block government entities, well, you know how this goes.
Do I trust Bluesky to handle that information with care? Hell no.

I've found some memory modules in my drawer, and there are also four DDR4 modules. So, now that I have discovered this gold mine, I could buy X and bring it over to the fediverse, or buy M...soft and open the windows to let some air in...

Aside: this is a *major* reason why I quit Bluesky and deleted my account some months back.
I would block a baddie, and because that crap is PUBLIC on Bluesky (?!?), that basically creates a "hate list" that's easily exploitable. And of course folks were exploiting it!
If you're going to use Bluesky, strongly recommend not blocking folks unless they're specifically harassing you. And don't block big accounts, that crap can come back to haunt you.
I went the other way, and deleted my account.
I absolutely love 東京サラダボウル (Tokyo Salad Bowl).
It's maybe even more pertinent and heartwarming in the context of the current rise of xenophobia in Japan. Well done NHK. 😊
Okay, folks — I've updated to the #FreeBSD 15.0 on my #Thinkpad X220 
The process itself completed without any problems — I used freebsd-update as usual. After first reboot (kernel updated, userspace not updated) I met the strange blinking of display, while the second "freebsd-update install" was running in the text console. But after update was fully completed, this "problem" was gone.
After update, i915kms refused to load, system says that it is already loaded or compiled into the kernel. So, there are no graphical interface (possibly I should run "pkg update" or install drm-kmods from FreeBSD-kmods repository 
)
And there are no networking with iwm and Intel AC 8260 (possibly, it's time to finally switch to iwlwifi, lol)

Hello #forkiverse! I work in government with a focus on elections and AI. Besides being a huge government nerd, I also love talking about elections and helping voters however I can. WIth the U.S. elections coming up this year, does anyone have any questions about elections or voting? I've also been having way too much fun vibe coding, and I'd love any ideas for personal projects! 🗳️

🧵 As a former Republican consultant who left in 2015, I'm often asked why Trump and his minions are willingly destroying science, K12 education, universities, international organizations, public broadcasting, and social welfare institutions.
There are many reasons, but the main ones are psychological rather than ideological. They struggle with abstract thinking and are afraid of the world...

hmm, ok, i finally finished my 2025 year in review blog post. it's bit scary to share. it feels very personal, but it hasn't been the kind of year where i can just write up a list of only the good stuff and feel honest about it. anyway, i do feel better having written it, and a lot did happen this year. so here!
