  • I’d have to say shells, particularly the “shells & cheese” size. I always have quite a few shells stick together and end up undercooked, and I don’t really encounter that challenge with other shapes.

    I actually like orzo a lot, but I’ve always had it in dishes where it behaves like (and is possibly mixed with) rice. I think it adds a nice (creamy?) balance to some other carby things, such as a veggies. Trader Joe’s sells one that really like that has orzo mixed with spinach, sundried tomatoes, and feta(?) cheese.




  • While I’m definitely in the “single space” camp myself, and have previously been pretty annoyed by people who still use two spaces, I actually like how often I see the double spaces on Lemmy because it reminds me that there are quite a few people over 25 on here. I’m not quite 40, and I don’t think I was ever taught anything other than single space, but I have friends that still do two spaces.






  • Thank you, I mostly just wanted to quickly point out the weaknesses of asking such a question here and only here, but I really appreciate your reply. I was not in a position to elaborate at the moment, so I really do appreciate someone else elaborting & providing additional perspectives, and while we may not necessarily see eye to eye, I think you’ve pointed out some differences (in a relatively neutral way) that are important for users to be aware of when they navigate the various instances.

    While I’m posting from .world, this was never intended as my “primary” account. My “primary” account was on kbin, and now that I’ve accepted that kbin isn’t coming back, I’ve been wanting to move somewhere else for my main account, but life + ADHD + too many choices has been getting in the way of that, and many other things I need to do. I hate signing up for things, so I’m hoping my next instance will be a good fit for me for a good while.



  • None of these have Jan 1 as the start date, but…

    • I’m getting laid off, so getting a new job is top priority.
    • Continue improving my physical fitness by being more consistent in my running and strength training. I cancelled my gym membership a little over a year ago, and have been struggling with consistency ever since.
      Running outside is so much more enjoyable than running on a treadmill, but I struggle to get myself moving when it’s too cold/wet/dark/hot/sunny outside.
    • I deleted Windows and installed Linux Mint on my “primary” laptop, and it’s good enough for my basic needs, but I want to spend some time getting more comfortable with more complicated things, as I’ve already run into a few tasks that I had to either give up on or switch to a different device for.



  • Thanks! In terms of fostering, my primary concern is cat to cat, although I probably should worry about cat to human also. My resident cats are otherwise healthy and I keep them up to date on their vaccinations, but at least so far, it doesn’t sound like that’s good enough.

    The researchers next housed uninfected ferrets in cages next to infected ones to test whether the virus could spread through the air via respiratory droplets. They performed four separate experiments using ferrets infected with varying doses of the virus. Between 1 in 6 and 1 in 3 infected ferrets transmitted the virus to uninfected neighbors. Five of the six ferrets who became infected in this way died.

    In my case, they would effectively be housed in separate cages (rooms of my home) for an initial quarantine period, but I would be going back and forth between those rooms without changing my clothes.
