Does any language have a word for mixing a beverage by pouring from one vessel into another? by sillypuddy in c/[email protected]

I don't mean something like "pour" or "mix" in the English language. The word should capture the idea of pouring from one vessel into another with the goal of going from a semi-heterogenous solution to a mostly-homogeneous solution.

I commonly do this to mix my cocktails. I'm not sure why, but it just seems quicker/easier than either shaking or stirring.

Thanks in advance! Just trying to figure out if it already exists before looking into making up a word for it!

I read it as an allusion to the price of everything going up. But yes, eggs.

You are my sunshine by sillypuddy in c/[email protected]

Really?

The first verse:

The other night, dear

As I lay sleeping

I dreamt I held you in my arms

But when I woke, dear

I was mistaken

So I hung my head and I cried

I always took it to mean the person is mourning the loss of a loved one and they dreamed they were still alive.

Also, I once heard that this song was about a horse named Sunshine. 🤷‍♂️

Florida Residents Flee State as Insurance Premiums Skyrocket up to 900% by sillypuddy in c/[email protected]

It's happening here in southern Louisiana. My insurance premium has been steadily increasing for the last 3-5 years.

Also, we're going through a drought which is causing a saltwater intrusion into our wetlands and wildfires in the marshes.

If it helps, her mom and I have been married a hair over a month.

TIL how to fetch communities from other instances so that I can subscribe from my own instance. (mander.xyz)

mander.xyz is a pretty small instance devoted to science and nature communities. It's relatively tiny compared to lemmy.ml and beehaw.org. In order for a community to appear in the smaller instance's community list it must first be "fetched". To do this, you have to enter the full url for the community you want to fetch into the community search bar.

So for example, I was trying to find [email protected] and it just wasn't coming up in the mander.xyz community list. I tried entering "nfl", "[email protected]" into the search bar. I even navigated to https://mander.xyz/c/[email protected] which was giving me a 404 at the time but is now working after the fetch.

So if you're on a smaller instance and aren't seeing communities from larger instances, try entering the url of the community as it would be hosted from the larger instance. Hit enter to do a fetch, then try typing the name of the community again to execute the search.

PS: I had to do the same trick again on mander.xyz to find this community.

How has ur lemmy experience been so far? by sillypuddy in c/[email protected]
[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I'm loving it!

As an aside, I know a lot of people are using Jerboa for their mobile browsing app of choice, but I've discovered that you can just use the Lemmy progressive web app (PWA) instead and get the same experience as desktop. In Chrome, login to whatever Lemmy instance you're registered with, click the triple dot menu, and click "install app". You'll get a "Lemmy" app downloaded and added to your homescreen that looks and functions just like the website.
