i sometimes add some chili flakes (toasted chiles de arbol are my favorite for this dish) or chopped fresh oregano.

You don't want to overwhelm the simple flavors but sometimes one extra note can be nice. Also the quality of the olive oil really matters for this dish: i have a specific brand i go to because i prefer the subtle flavor even over the more expensive brands

sounds incredible. I've only had vegetarian/pescatarian Tamil cooking, would love to try goat curry

i do a mean picatta. The classic (in the US where i'm located) is chicken but if i'm trying to impress i make it with fish (rockfish ideally since i'm on the West Coast) or chicken of the woods mushroom (in the right season). For anyone unaware, you flatten your chicken (or mushroom, skip this step for fish), season and dredge with flour, brown it a bit in oil, then simmer in a butter/lemon/caper sauce with a little white wine to help deglaze the pan. Top with chopped parsley.

If you are making the COTW mushroom version you need to slice and simmer in broth for an hour before you begin. Any broth works

serve with mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. An American classic (by way of Italy like many others).

Firefox + uBlock Origin + sponsorblock. Set it and forget it.

I haven't seen an advertisement or a sponsored segment on my desktop in over a decade, and same with my phone for several years. I'm astonished how willing most people are to put up with a constant barrage of ads coming from devices they own

Firefox allows all addons now on mobile but for a while it was only a few selected addons (ublock origin being one of them)

I am currently using 19 extensions on mobile

Brave is a bad product as of now.

Firefox with ublock is at least acceptably performant on desktop and mobile without all the crypto/tracking downsides of Brave or the open unpatched vulnerabilities (as of this posting) of Chrome/chromium (that also affect Brave)

The name is awful. I'd rather see the posts here if that's the name of the community

You should switch to Firefox with ublock origin.

Brave is a mess of a browser and a dumpster fire of an organization, even compared to the famously dysfuctional Mozilla.

You can look up your games on ProtonDB and see which will and won't work. Pirated games are no different from retail compatibility-wise but there might be one or two extra steps

Wayland is a mess for me with Plasma 6 (Fedora) but i'm not going back to X11. Quite a few features i use(d) have been broken along the way.

On the upside high DPI support is getting better and better

I have hundreds of hours in Dwarf Fortress and i feel i've barely scratched the surface

In a sense i agree, but the crash was in Summer in North Dakota and they are European honeybees.

Honeybees are quite invasive in North America. They kill and displace native pollinators and they are generally less effective pollinators of native plants. The release of dozens more colonies into the ecosystem is a negative thing no matter how you look at it.

North America has the greatest native bee diversity of any temperate part of the world, but if you go out into habitat and actually start counting insects you will find honeybees outnumber everything else in most places, most times of year.

Brave shouldn't be on there at all. Nobody should be recommending Brave to anyone

Just got all my consoles hooked up. I've been playing Castlevania:SOTN on Sega Saturn (English translation) and loving it. What are you playing?

This is a list of reputable brands, seed dealers, and nurseries for acquiring native plants, both online and offline. If you'd like to add one to the list, just post it below, and I'd appreciate a little blurb about your experience with them or why you find them reputable.

The list is currently pretty sparse, but with everybody's help, we can make a great list!

Linda Vista Native Plants (Saratoga)

Larry has a wider selection than most Native Nurseries I've been to. He seems keenly interested in manzanitas, ceanothus, dudleya, and bulbing plants like calochortus. His stock is a mixture of Bay Area, Central Coast, Channel Island, and San Diego species with a smaller selection of Sierra Nevada, North Coast, and SoCal species. The nursery is pickup-only by appointment. My impression is that Larry would rather lose a sale than sell an unhealthy plant, so be prepared that part of your order might not be there if he doesnt like the look of it. I highly reccomend this nursery if you are in the Bay Area

Linda Vista Native Nursery

California Flora Nursery (Just outside Santa Rosa)

One of the great institutional nurseries of California native gardening. Their overall stock is unmatched, but only a small fraction is available for purchase at any given time. This is the only nursery that commonly carries clones of the Vine Hill Manzanita other than the common hybrid cultivars (such as Howard McMinn, Sentinel, Harmony). The non-hybrid species is usually (but not always) low-growing, with smaller darker leaves and more delicate flowers, absolutely stunning IMO. The pure species selections will be named stuff like "VHP - A11 'low growing'" or "VHP - B3 'tall one'" since they are from stock also used for ex-situ conservation plantings

This nursery is also responsible for the introduction of many popular cultivars, especially Ceanothus. Some of my favorites are Ceanothus "Better than Ray Hartman" and Arctostaphylos "Reina de la arena". Their selection is wide, but especially covers the North Bay Area, Northern Coast, and Inner Coast Ranges. Good variety of oaks, pines, cypresses, grasses, and even annuals. In my opinion, it's worth the trip from anywhere in California.

Dodders are parasitic plants. The specimen seen here is using Pickleweed as a host plant.
