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.

right wing grifting is too hard man, you gotta get up on time and sit in front of a microphone for two hours each business day to record a podcast where you just read outrageous headlines on your smartphone and that is just too much work

@zeldatra Soo... In essence I think it is pretty much like this: "This outrage is outrageously outrageous! Meanwhile, the truly outrageous thing is nothing to worry about. And now to our outrageous sponsor who profits from outrage with this new outrageous product for a new outrageously expensive price! Now buy that thing to fight the outrage!"

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 8 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.

@zeldatra My dad has the absolute thinnest accent of his side of the family, and even he was able to be pinned down to what part of the Chesapeake Bay he grew up on by a dude he met in Long Beach for about ten minutes

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 11 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.

The other day during Steam’s little demo showcase I downloaded a few demos. Today I tried out “Promise Mascot Agency”, a cute little open world mascot management sim/casual collectathon where the bulk of the gameplay is driving around in a Kei truck and talking to sentient mascots. Also the main character, completely by coincidence, is an ex-yakuza voiced by Takaya Kuroda (Kazuma Kiryu).

@zeldatra After the great dissolution finding work is hard. The orphanage needs the money. Also it is funny that the main character is named "Michi". After Suzuki Taichi and Joryu, Kiryu named himself after a mascot.

My tomato plants are growing faster than anticipated. Barely one week in the dirt and half of the planted seeds pushed through the surface. Last year it felt it took longer until there was some development.

@nerthos Fruit... Vegetable. I tend to say (jokingly) it is a frugitable. I hope too that they will be growing and do not rot away like last year.
-
@adiwan Have you built a roof or pseudo-greenhouse for them? usually just a transparent nylon cover to prevent rain damage is enough to keep them safe
-
@nerthos Not yet. I have to acquire free trampolines with side-netting for the sole purpose to get the metal tubes to build such a cover. I could buy it ready but due to my bucket solution of a raised bed I'd need 30-40 cm more than purchasable.

7 hours into my 32th birthday I've already caused all sorts of romantic chaos, had my crush hint very overtly that she would like me to fight with her boyfriend over her (won't, she made her choice) and had a drunk gay friend confess to me in an absolutely obsessive, self-destructive and pathological way (which would have been really hot if it was a girl)
It's turning out to be a VERY eventful day and I'm very happy for it.
I joined this place when I was 18 and I'm glad I haven't mellowed out at all in that time. Here's hoping in another 14 years things will be just as crazy still.about a month ago from web-

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. -

Pirate Yakuza beat. Despite how silly it is it may actually be up where with Yakuza 7 and Yakuza 0 as one of my favorite stories in the franchise.

@zeldatra It is probably the most "straight-forward" story of the franchise. It is still convoluted to a degree but it is simple enough. It is not my favorite story but it was still highly enjoyable.

My pirate Majima was basically the default but with Yakuza 0 hair. My Hawaii Majima was the default but with black dress trousers and his signature steel-tipped shoes.

@scribus With added safety function! Once I had winter shoes with steel reinforcement in the toe area but I highly disliked them. It made me realize how inflexible they are. The way I walk is pretty much incompatible with those.

@zeldatra Yeah. I had to look up a few times. Thankfully Steam displayed the remaining hours until release. I had prealoaded it yesterday, however minutes after the official release it wasn't able to start because my Steam client wasn't aware of the release. A restart of the client fixed it.

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.

Children should play a bootleg console at least once in their lives. A good 'ol famiclone. A NES on a chip or anything that promises 99999999 games in one but they are repeats or just start at a different level. This kind of disappointment and wonder is a unique brew of an experience that is both cheap and rich in questionable fun. A lie with an upside. Bonus points if they are actually rom hacks with the weirdest promises.
about 2 months ago from web-
@adiwan As a child I had an N64 controller that you would plug into a tv and it would load up 900 NES and arcade roms, probably less than a hundred of which were unique games. Kids today now can get handheld that do the same thing on Temu, everything is properly labeled, the emulators don’t run at half speed, sometimes they play like PS2 games and Fluffle Puff, you can load your own on an sd card… it just ain’t the same.
-
@zeldatra For some reason I stumble upon reviews of those emulation machines and even now they are not always delivering the proper performance to even run NES games at a smooth performance. PS2 games, even PS1 and Dreamcast are a joke. There are only few exceptions where they run well enough for an enjoyable experience. The famiclone I had in the 90s was a weird "handheld" one. It was a big black "Game Gear"-like case without a screen that plugged directly into a AC/DC adaptor and it needed to be connected with a RF coax cable to the TV. It really sucked as over time both power and TV plugs on it got loose.
