I've been listening to 2666 by Roberto Bolaño. So far I've been enjoying it, even though I have no idea where it's supposed to be going. I can't imagine the current plot thread persisting through 28 hours.

I loved the first third of Neuromancer. The rest largely felt like it failed to deliver, and a bit like it went off the rails. Count Zero was a bit better in execution.

America's test kitchen has done that, although I can't find one that addresses all the bits of misinformation.

This one is pretty ok, but doesn't address all things, and doesn't specifically call out the myths: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUComSZbZ7o

Notably missing is tomatoes/highly acidic foods. IIRC, it's fine if the duration is short (about 15 minutes). Shakshuka and quick tomato sauces should be fine, but don't make Grandma's all-day tomato sauce. Regardless, for these contexts I'd still grab stainless if that's an option, but mostly for ease of use/cleaning

To echo what another person said I came here from /all

I think that's part of the point. It's someone's job to make the original comic.

Removing the titular protagonist should ruin a work. Removing them here does absolutely nothing. It makes no more or less sense, despite losing a core component. One would hope a comic in widespread syndication would fare better.

At least with memes when they're inevitably bad, it's probably someone fucking around, not a paid professional.

The More sweeping forgiveness attempt was blocked.

He seems pretty committed to forgiving whatever he can get through. It wouldn't be unusual to give up after the initial attempt was blocked, but now he seems to be breaking it apart into more manageable chunks. I'm still slightly hopeful that more forgiveness is coming for those who need it.

Flagged isn't very useful until Lemmy has filtering tools that can act on the flags built in.

Even the mobile apps which support filtering wouldn't be able to react sensibly to an AI tag for posts within this community.

That's a wonderful eggcorn.

I was watching a video talking about how eggcorns are an unusual category of error because they require intelligence and creativity to make. The argument was that the process goes like this:

A new word or phrase is heard, but not understood. The brain makes sense of it using existing vocabulary that has sounds that are close enough. This is accompanied an explanation for why those specific words make sense in this new context.

For example: the original eggcorn was a mishearing of acorn. Egg because it's roughly egg shaped, and corn is sometimes used to describe small objects similar to how grain can be.

All this to say, it's maybe not something to feel dumb about. Your brain did something neat.

Honestly anything but memes. Memes tend to suffocate all other content.

It seems fine, with a few concerns.

The federated nature could become confusing, especially for new users. For example, I'm not sure how a new user is supposed to distinguish between: Games@sh.itjust.works and Games@lemmy.world This seems like a potentially worse version of reddit's games vs gaming vs truegaming.

Also the lack of filtering options. Until I build up a reasonable amount of communities I'm subscribed to, I suspect I'll be using All more, which doesn't seem to have a simple way to do things like filter out all memes or just focus on text.
