I love me some corvids. I’ve built up my relationships with my local clan of Jays from when I was WFH, and we have a bunch of them in the clinic now, along with a crow and a raven.

They’re all wonderful, but I’m still biased toward the owls and raptors.

It’s not the size of the brain, it’s how you use it! 🤪

All libraries should have a guardian owl of some sort!

I don’t think he’d want the job, but he would do it were he asked and give it 110%. He’s no nonsense, a facts-based decision maker, and he listens to people’s issues and makes fair decisions if it’s what you want to hear or not. He’s also not too full of himself to admit when he’s been wrong. He seeks out experts on matters outside of his experience and respects their opinions. He loves his country and looks to do right by those that entrust him with a job.

He would also probably be unfortunately remembered as a terrible president a la Jimmy Carter, as he’d likely trust a number of people he shouldn’t to keep their word, he’d be too compromising for a lot of people, and I don’t think people would like his “lack of personality” they’d get from his public persona. I think Hank would be a top-notch cabinet member though! I would totally support him for any of a number of different ones.

A well-thought-out cooling concept enables reliable operation at high outside temperatures and prevents overheating. In addition to targeted heat exchange, integrated temperature monitoring ensures optimal charging performance.

At sub-zero temperatures, a built-in heating system ensures visibility and reliable snow- and ice-free operation of the charger.

Encapsulated electronic components (IP68) and the charging socket equipped with seals and water drains enable reliable charging even in the rain. If water accumulates on the street and compromises a safe charging process, a water level sensor interrupts the process before the residual current device (RCD) is triggered.

In the event of electrical faults, the integrated surge protection as well as the permanent contact adhesive and PE monitoring offer additional safety for people, electrical cars and connected systems.

Pretty extensive product page

I’ve gone to a Coldstone (ice cream shop) and the guy working there was just giving out free ice cream to everyone because he hated to store so much.

Another time I was at the conveyer belt sushi chain, and you’re supposed to get a gacha egg out of the machine after so many plates go into the return, but it was jammed up. Told the girl at the counter and she just plopped up the bucket of eggs on the counter and told me to help myself as she doesn’t get paid enough to deal with the machine, so I grabbed a few Spy x Family trinkets.

Even in my job at a pharma campus, most of us are contract workers who don’t get the benefits the actual big company employees get, and a lot of my equipment i need is broken. I keep equipment running with my role, but I have to ask for favors or supplies from other contractors at times so I can actually get stuff done. From being old enough to see the last glimmers of old school places that rewarded long term employees to seeing how every place seems to be run today, I don’t blame the kids for bringing some anarchy to the workplace. At least I get paid a decent wage to be miserable. They don’t, and having worked those retail and foodservice jobs myself, they probably work harder than I have to here.

It took me a lot of years to learn my jobs don’t give a damn about me, so while there is a twinge of sadness to seeing them that broken on jobs so early, I’m also glad they’re not under some false impression that working extra hard for free or putting the company first will get them somewhere.

I liked seeing my score in the beginning, as coming from being a long time lurker, it made it feel like I was contributing to building Lemmy.

Now my post and comment counts are higher than I ever would have thought, so I’m fine without it. As the score doesn’t count for anything, now I find it more satisfying to see my actual contribution.

Is it just me, or does this look like he has no legs? The bed looks too smooth.

Wow, the original casserole makes the pizza version sound better! 😁

It should make sense that the spread of quick and odd casseroles was a worldwide thing. None of us were spared these strange concoctions.

The kebab pizza does sound pretty amazing. It’s not that kebabs are hard to find in America, at least in most places I’ve been, but I’m always surprised they aren’t more mainstream. With all the mega chain fast food we have, none of it is as good as your random kebab, it’s not any faster, and I wouldn’t be shocked if the kebab was at least marginally healthier, more filling, and has less weird stuff in it. It’s not like a kebab is much different component-wise than a typical burger, and it’s just as, if not moreso customizable.

Fair enough, I’ll just see what sounds exciting. Thanks again!

I appreciate it! I’m checking out a store in CT to maybe place an order since I’m in 1 day shipping range.

Getting perishables that I have no clue how they’re supposed to taste to begin with from strangers has me a little cautious. At least for the first time. No offense! 😁

I was looking at Scandinavian Butik since they are in the overnight shipping range for me.

If you feel like making any recommendations, I’d grab a few things. I see they have brown cheese and the tube caviar.

My elementary school had pizza that looked like this. Not sure if it was the same stuff, but it was fairly similar at least.

Sounds…moist… 😑

This has been very enlightening! Thanks for all your comments!

At least “hot dish” got a nationwide spotlight during the election!

I saw the sheep and cabbage, and I was expecting more of a stew, but all the pics looks like meat cut a minimum amount to fit in the pot with a quartered cabbage head tossed in. I mean, I’m sure I’d still like it as I like lamb (never found mutton here) and cabbage, but they don’t really seem to have gone for any kind of enticing presentation.

The lye part of the lutefisk doesn’t turn me off so much, but the descriptions calling it jelly-like don’t make my mouth water. Especially as it has the bones still in it if I recall correctly.

Whale has always intrigued me, but I feel I’ve heard more bad than good about the taste, plus I’d probably feel really bad about trying it.

The tariff seems surprisingly low at 15% as far as I can tell, but I’m not sure Dear Leader’s current mood. That shipping looks as though it could add up quickly, especially compared to the price of actual product being mailed if we’re talking junk food! 😄

The banana was the main sticking point for me as well, but with all the other stuff, I can’t imagine you’d get much banana flavor coming through, just a sweetness and texture.

This just made me remember my brother used to do the thing Mr Rogers recommended: putting a slice of American cheese around a banana. There’s gotta be some weird food chemistry at work here if banana + cheese pops up multiple places…

I’m East Coast between Philadelphia and New York. I think of the center north (Michigan/Minnesota) as where all the Scandinavians are.

I saw some things say Ikea stocked the Kelles Kaviar, but now they either don’t have it or they have some inferior house brand.
