If you’re a first responder or service member you get 50% off 2+ lines with T-Mobile. Even retired for service. I’m an EMT but they only check if your license is current. If this applies to you, you could just keep your license up to date even if you’re retired.

Nail on the head. Its a bullshit solution for bullshit work at our bullshit jobs

lemm.ee limits image uploads to 100kb. Try converting the images to webp and playing with the compression to get the file size down. There’s lots of online tools to do this pretty easily

Me too buddy. Me too.

If you haven’t given pocket city 2 a try yet I highly recommend it

You should look a little deeper into the history of modern Israel and Zionism. It’s always been a colonial project that necessitates genocide of the local population. I’m not going to get further into it here as it’s not really the place for this and people have already done the work. If you haven’t seen shaun’s video id recommend at least giving it a watch. I’ll leave the iron wall as well. It’s a short essay from one of the founders of Zionism. His views were quite explicit and highly influential at the time and his legacy is obvious in modern Israel. And lastly The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine. It’s a good book that plainly lays out the history of the Zionist colonial project from 1917-2017. I’m only halfway through it but it’s worth your time. Or just watch the video, it’s cites both the essay and book (among other things) and ties it all together very well.

You’re not going to have much of a better time here if you like Israel and aren’t critical of the US. Lemmy is full of socialists lol

I put a pinch of freshly roasted and ground cumin in my guac. Gives it a little oomph

The least accurate thing about this is frodo wearing shoes

That sounds like a great idea! Gin and st Germain are a match made in heaven

I’ve heard liber and co is good, can’t personally attest to it though. My go to is jack rudy’s. FYI the recipe on the bottle says .75 syrup to 2oz gin. Do yourself a favor and bump that up to 1 oz. A good quality gin is going to dominate the flavor and mask the bitterness. I usually do 3 oz soda water( the only cocktail I measure the soda on lol) and a barspoon of lime juice. Let the ice handle the rest of the dilution

Gimlets with homemade lime cordial if I’m trying to get hammered. Alternatively: death in the afternoon to black out

Dark n stormy with lemon hart 151 and a couple dashes of ango if I’m feeling lazy

Old fashioneds with a nice barrel proof bourbon to unwind

Amaretto sour for something sweet

Vieux carre if I want vermouth

There’s a whole wide world of fancy booze out there, I couldn’t pick just one favorite lol

Do you make yours with a split base of rye and cognac or do you go for straight rye? Love me a good Sazerac! If you haven’t had one yet, give the bijou or la louisiane a try too. Both are delicious new orleans style cocktails

Get you some tonic syrup and kick that gin & tonic game up to 11. So worth it!

Wanna trade for a bit? Both make me eat more

Truly one of a kind, shame that he left.so soon

Got any dishes that you feel represent the kind of Mexican food you grew up with? People are always so quick to say “x isn’t Mexican, y, isn’t Mexican, it’s so impossible to find real Mexican food if you don’t live close to the border”. But they never say what “real Mexican” is lol. I’d love to try something authentic but as someone from Florida whos apparently never had any real Mexican food in my life I have no idea where to start

I don’t think people are eating bacon for the health benefits

If you don’t mind, how did the Fitbit motivate you to be more active? I’ve been considering one for a while but it doesn’t seem like something I’d have a lot of utility for
