Strongly heating up the remaining red jalapeno made them bearable. Beating heat with heat. I put them on a pizza and they were not so bad. Degenerating capsaicin with heat is the key. The sauce I made a little while ago was never heated so much or long to break down the hot stuff. Fresh and uncooked will never enter my digestive tract ever again.

One jalapeno in my salad got me the wrong way. I cut it too small to remove it, too much salad to toss out. I ate through all of it and with enough ranch dressing it got less of a sting.
The current Jalapeno plants are dying, so this season I will plant only one or two and give them more care. Currently my 4 Jalapeno and 1 Cayenne are putting out weekly one or two ripe deep red chilis. Maybe I should collect them when they are still green.about 6 days ago from web-
@adiwan Mostly, at least out my way, they are harvested and sold or processed while green, I do believe they just get hotter as they age and ripen
-
@scribus BuT rEd OnEs LoOk BeTtEr! Yeah... I have currently a hand full of green ones on my plants at this moment. I'll harvest them tomorrow. Hopefully they won't stab my tongue with a hot dagger like the red ones.

@adiwan Red does look better, lol. I get excited when I find a red jalapeno slice on my nachos

My dad was showing me something of an old guy from Maryland, where Dad's from. Dude had a wicked thick accent, but I could mostly follow him while he was talking with the interviewer. But once another local came up and they started talking, man, I swear it went from "dialect" to "whole new language" as far as I could hear

@scribus western Maryland and the Baltimore-DC area may well be in two different parts of the country if I’m being honest.

Working for a project in northern Germany. Every morning it begins with everyone greeting with "moin". It is not a abbreviation for "morning" but it is an old lower German word for "good" and "pleasant".
about 9 days ago from web-
@scribus Just to be clear: Lower German is not that common, however in casual conversation it has some foothold in everyday use, especially common expressions and traditional stuff like in food or handiwork or hunting. In comparison the Bavarian dialect is 20 times more common. It is not dead but there is definitely a dying trend. A local broadcaster has a one hour news block that uses lower German throughout.

@scribus I have one Cayenne plant and 5 Jalapeno. They don't bear a lot of fruit but right now I am plenty served by them. I planted seeds for their replacement, as they are supposed to be living about one year. I don't get cold sweat or anything but their hotness can be slightly overwhelming. Maybe I need them to cook for a lot longer. They were basically fresh when I put them into the sauce. As of now I wouldn't go eating any hotter stuff than that.

Well I'm trying to do a House-aligned playthrough of Fallout: New Vegas, but I very really truly hate him and the terrible asshole things he says :-/
about 2 months ago from web-
@scribus Interesting, he's my favourite faction to side with on the grounds of pragmatism, he's the only one with a plan (and the actual capability to make it happen) to make humanity go anywhere other than "we'll just be hobos in perpetuity"
He might not be incredibly likable, but in a survival scenario that's irrelevant. -
@nerthos Yeah, I want to not hate him - I mean, a retro-future spaceVegas? Hell, yeah!! He's not even that unlikable, there's a wry sort of amusement to his bearing. But he's too egocentric; he's not preserving humanity, he's feeding his ego and seeking to create a thrallhood underclass to prop HIM up. Ultimately, I don't consider him sufficiently distinct from Caesar. Both cling to old-world ideals and play up some fantasy of the "inevitability" of "their" power. So, I kill him, take his city, and in my mind carry on with developing the space plans in a little more cooperative, ground-up fashion. (Though in all honesty a spacefaring future would be just as hellish as the vaults so iunno w/e i guess lol) Also I make The King governor or something :p
-
@scribus That all sounds good until you factor in the kind of human resource you're dealing with in Fallout. Ironically the tv show is the best illustration of this, with the main character trying to behave like a civilized person and consistently getting banana'd by everyone.
House's narcissistic approach is a necessity in the world he's operating, without the army of robots forcing the wastelanders to work at gunpoint nothing will get done (example: they're still living in shacks near 200 years after the war)
Plus, he has civilized some factions already, so it's not like he won't uplift the competent and decent wastelanders into better positions. He has to do that for any space settling plan to work, since good people are needed to populate those colonies.
Sometimes, a competent megalomaniac is the only option that can get the job done.

Today I planted tomato seeds and put them into my tiny greenhouses: Purple Sunrise, Malina, Arancia, Jolie Coeur, Marmande, Tscherny Prinz, Japanese Crab, Ananas Noire, Black Krim, Tigerella. 5 seeds for each in case some of them don't grow. I want to keep only two of each, rest will be gifted.
about 2 months ago from web-
@scribus I hope this year the yield will be big enough to fill a cooking pot at once for tomato sauce. Last year was horrible due to rain and infections. Soon I want to grab some free trampolines with side-netting in order to create a simple roof above the plants to prevent damages from rain. All I need are the vertical pipes. Free trampolines are always there. Right now there are 8 in my region.

At my mother's apartment there are metal spikes in front of the windows of the staircase to prevent birds from sitting there and pooping on people's heads in front of the entrance. When I went up the stairs I found something odd. At first I thought it was a brown and crumpled leaf but it was not quite that. It was a bat that has impaled itself with its head first.

@pandaexpress Around that long yeah, glad to hear it came around for you in the end.
I've been pretty well all around. 2017 was kind of a mess but other than that, there have been a lot more upsides than downsides. Some losses sure, but death is unavoidable, all that is within my control ticks under my rythm and that's all that matters to say life is good.
Made a lot of friends, got new certifications and a different job, dropped my ex and had a lot of fun these last 8 years. All I can possibly complain of right now is that the stock market is not as good as I'd wish lol.Emily likes this. -

I’m working with a well-known brand sponsor for upcoming Mattimation cartoons and they want to know if I will happen to be in Dubai next week for a face to face. I, uh, will not, and unless I find myself with unfathomable wealth in the next five years, you can probably count on me not ever “happening” to be in Dubai.

I almost crashed my car. I was driving on the Autobahn while it was heavily snowing. There was so much snow that snow was piling up and it was only feasible to drive in the tracks of the other cars. I got caught up in the side of the tyre tracks and was skidding and slipping left and right so much I almost spin out. Luckily my experiences with racing games could avoid that by steering against the skidding direction.

The video editor Kdenlive is not so bad. I've been playing with it since it is stable for a long while and the last time I used it was 10 years ago when I was doing my Bachelor thesis. And back then it was in a buggy alpha state. There are however still tons of room for improvements. Especially in the effects department, and the adding and removal of video and audio tracks. For some reason once the project has been initialized you cannot add more tracks. In the audio department I'd like to have bezier curves in the track view to adjust the volume. At least it isn't crashing.
about 3 months ago from web-
@adiwan I've had a recurring issue with video editors where I cut down a large clip to the part I want, then apply some kind of speed change or reverse it or something, and suddenly the clip I'd made is a different portion of the original video. I guess I'm asking if this ever happened to you at all, and/or if this new one does it at all? lol
-
@scribus So far it hasn't happened to me. In fact I did a speed change to a small portion and it correctly identified that I can enter a maximum speed value until it doesn't fit on the track because a following clip is in its way. However I have to enter that value manually. Clunky but it works.

Ooof... Dodged a bullet. BambuLab 3D printers are now unrecommendable. I low-key thought about getting one but BambuLab went full on locking down the firmware to prevent 3rd-party software to connect to the printer. They had in the terms of service that they would block printing alltogether if the firmware won't be updated. Now they are gaslighting the users that this isn't the case as they have changed their website.

@adiwan The way companies do that garbage, I don't even want to buy anything from anyone anymore. It should be considered theft, plain and simple - I had a tool that did X, and now it has been taken away against my will. If corporations were people, they'd be doing a B&E to take away my tools like that, and I would have a chance to kneecap them with a golf club.

I've been using GIMP for years for simple image editing. It was always a pain. It is still a pain to use. The more recent changes to dialogue windows made me crawl up the walls. F U GTK. It is a KRITA household now.
about 3 months ago from web-
@scribus It was always kinda janky. I always credited that feeling to the fact that I'm more familiar with photoshop. GIMP has limitations but was for the simple stuff I did fine. Now all the flaws accumulated to a point that boiled over the threshold of any tolerance I had towards GIMP.
