Might be a good use-case to have your home irrigation system be triggered by plant clicks instead of a schedule.

With how fast battery tech is evolving, how does one decide when the it’s the “right” time to buy to get the most range for your money? By the 2026 there will likely be an even better capacity battery, and so on…

Nice. I really like the concept of the EX30 and the way the infotainment screen is positioned vs the EX40/90, but the lack of an instrument gauge in front of the driver is a big turn off for me. Apparently there’s not a ton of leg room at the back too based on reviews on youtube. If they improve those two issues on the next model, I’ll definitely consider it.

It’s in the name. It’s fast. You order at a drive-thru and you’re on your way in a couple of minutes. I agree though that prices are insane now and doesn’t justify the quality. I’d rather go to an asian restaurant for their lunch specials and get more for my buck.

Can someone more knowledgeable than me please ELI5 how this drug is so revolutionary and why it only came to be recently? Based on what I see on articles, it seems like the equivalent of a cure for cancer, but for obesity amd weight loss instead. Is it the result of years and years of research and testing, and/or a breakthrough discovery of the chemical that makes it work?

Huh that’s interesting. I kinda remember it not being that well received at the time. It did get a cult following over the years so maybe the IMDb rating has gone up since then?

It went down when they realized you can't just walk into Canada.

I loved Equilibrium and was surprised it wasn't rated as good.

Yup, their draconian drug laws are definitely a big concern if you partake (regardless if for medicinal or recreational reasons). I personally do not, so it’s not a particular issue for me.

Singapore. One of the few (if not the only) developed country in the east/southeast Asia region where you can get by not having to learn a new language. Great public transportation. I’m an urban person so dense megacities are my thing. I’m also Asian so I blend in.

 

This needs to be explained a bit, so here's my problem:

  • I use Focus for sleeping. I manually enable it when I go to bed and disable it when I wake up.
  • My Focus setting disables notifications for email, calendar, and some messaging apps.
  • My security camera app notifications are not disabled, obviously because I want to be alerted if something triggers it in the middle of the night.
  • However, there is a certain time in the morning between 7:30AM and 8AM where people walking on the sidewalk triggers alerts that wake me up. And no, I want to avoid not pointing my cameras away from that part of the sidewalk because it helps me catch people letting their pets pee and poop on my yard.
  • I usually wake up at 8AM and getting woken up 30 minutes earlier is annoying.
  • I am willing to accept the risk of not getting notifications from my cameras on my phone for 30 minutes before I wake up.

What is the most practical way to disable notifications from an app on a scheduled time duration while Focus is already in use? Schedule it in Health? Create a shortcut/automation?

 

I've been on an HSA+HDHP for a couple of years now and only realized recently the interest earned from investing HSA money is also tax free, so I want to start investing a part of my savings and see how it goes. I have 2 options, Betterment or Mutual Funds. I figured I'd try the latter to avoid fees, but I'm not sure which funds to choose. My HSA currently provides 30 fund options.

I see people mentioning Vanguard a lot so I spread out my initial investment into 25% chunks across 4 different Vanguard funds. How did I choose them? Well I literally just looked at the performance graphs and selected the ones that historically went up steadily without major dips. As a total noob, how can I improve my choices? Is there a simple way to decide without having to dive deep into the stock market?

Anyone know what's up with the recent beta updates on IOS? I think the last 4-5 updates had no test notes whatsoever.

 

Someone give Giannis a big hug before every free throw. But then it will now take 20 seconds for him to shoot.

[RECIPE] Sushi Bake (files.catbox.moe)
submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by scytale@lemm.ee to c/cooking@lemmy.world
 

Since there was some curiosity about what a sushi-bake is, here's my own recipe for it. Sushi-bake is basically a "deconstructed" sushi roll where the ingredients are layered instead of rolled then baked in the oven. There are different variations of how it's made, so this is my take on it. Apologies if I don't have exact measurements of portions, as I just wing it and base it on the taste.

Ingredients:

  • Sushi rice (regular white rice is fine if you don't have sushi rice, but add a bit more water when cooking to make it more moist).

  • Rice vinegar.

  • Any protein of your choice like crabstick, tuna, or salmon; shredded.

  • Fruit/vegetable. Cucumber, mango, avocado, or any other ingredients you'd like to add to your sushi; sliced and cubed.

  • Japanese mayo (i.e. kewpie).

  • Sriracha. In my case, I used a gochujang-based hot sauce with truffle oil.

  • Furikake.

  • Sesame oil (optional).

  • Sugar/sweetener (optional).

  • Mozarella cheese (optional).

Recipe:

  1. Cook sushi rice as directed.

  2. Mix your protein, veggies, and fruit in a bowl with Japanese mayo and sriracha.

  3. Mix the cooked sushi rice with a few tablespoons of rice vinegar and a bit of sugar (optional). I personally don’t put sugar because I find the rice vinegar enough for flavor.

  4. Line a baking pan with foil. You can also do without, I'm just lazy with washing.

  5. Grease the pan with a little sesame oil.

  6. Add a base layer of sushi rice on the baking pan and flatten it thoroughly.

  7. Add a layer of your protein/veggie/fruit mix on top of the rice.

  8. Sprinkle a layer of furikake.

  9. Optional: Since I like to put cheese on everything, add a layer of shredded mozarella.

  10. For aesthetic purposes, draw alternating diagonal lines of mayo and sriracha, and top it off with another sprinkling of furikake.

  11. Bake at 350F for 15-20 minutes.

To eat, slice it into square bites. You can eat it as is with chopsticks or a fork/spoon, or use Nori to scoop it up.

 

My city's limits covers one county and half of the county north of it. Why don't they just follow the same lines on the map, with either the county following the city, or the city following the county line?

 

The first advance screening for general audiences was on February 25 in IMAX cinemas. This thread is for people who have seen the film to discuss ahead of the official release on March 1.

SPOILERS AHEAD! IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE FILM AND DO NOT WANT TO GET SPOILED, STOP SCROLLING AND GO BACK NOW.

Mods, please let me know if this is appropriate and feel free to remove if not.

 

Not sure if I'm just not looking at the right places, but did anyone else notice that there's a lack of video content released from this year's all-star weekend? I remember from previous all-star events there were a ton of videos of players interacting on the court and locker room, as well as behind-the-scenes videos. The all-star practice was also officially televised. This time around most of the interesting content I've seen are from people in the arena taking videos from their phones, not official ones.

 

Does anyone else get logged out when switching between wifi and mobile data? I notice when leaving the house (or coming home) and my phone switches between wifi and data (and vice versa), the app asks me to login again. I have the beta/testflight version.
