I agree. In a way, I’d prefer the majority of the bad takes I see to be from bots or paid actors, but from listening to family and coworkers long enough, it’s easy to see you don’t need to script or pay people to get terrible opinions. Just give them a platform and they’ll unfortunately provide themselves to no end.

If it was fake, it’d be easier to write them off. It’s much harder to accept that we share the same reality.

Passat Headlamp Assembly

Check out 4:30 in this video and see if that looks like what you have. Seems DLR is a self contained assembly that is replaced as a whole unit.

Lemon does sound like it’d be a lot of sour in addition to the vinegar itself.

I used powdered ginger and thought fresh grated would be the way to go. I also feel it’d be easier to strain it if the final drink.

Overall I thought it was good though. I gave some to my girlfriend not telling her what it was and she thought it was some vile beer type thing that went bad. 😆

I’d absolutely drink it again though. With some tweaks it’d be really good. I am solidly pro switchel.

I think I had watched his switchel and shrub videos too!

I want to say it was Alton Brown where I first learned about these. I’ve made shrub a few times and even had it at the local Pennsylvania German heritage fairs.

Since I had the stuff on hand, I quick threw some together, just eyeballing the ingredients. It’s pretty darn good!

Main flavor is obviously molasses, so if you don’t like that, you won’t like switchel. The ginger and vinegar work together very nicely! Both bring a nice zing and brightness to the drink. It contrasts well with the warm and earthy flavor of the molasses.

I put most of it in the fridge for after work as it’s going to be a super hot day again and I didn’t want a vinegar taste in my mouth overpowering my coffee.

If you have the stuff, I absolutely recommend it.

Very true. Any fruit syrup with a vinegar glug would get you there well enough if one wanted to see if they were shrub-folk.

Ooo I need to try making switchel. Just remembered I have molasses sitting around for another item.

You seriously put much thought into this, and I appreciate that.

I was just thinking some shrub syrup fits the bill and is tasty, convenient, and a touch unconventional these days so you can look like a trendsetter.

Your comment seems to fit shrub perfectly.

I’d like to see a world more like that, but it feels like something that would require a society much different than the one we currently have.

Even your simplified mention of freeing IP not being marketed, in the Internet age, does having an item listed as for sale but out of stock or for an unreasonable price counted as being marketed? It’s technically advertised for sale at no real cost, and can be done so in perpetuity. Or they could sell themselves product to show legal sales.

Simple rules and judgement operating under the intentof the law makes sense to rational individuals like us, but with scammy business and individuals, that’s why we end up with a complex legal system. If we hate when legal loopholes are taken advantage of, we can’t outright hate when laws get more complex.

I largely agree. I don’t know the best solution for copyright. On one hand, I don’t think that necessarily the creators’ kids deserve rights forever. They didn’t make the stuff. But on the other hand, who does get the money after the creators are gone? The publisher in this case should get something for publishing physical materials or for marketing their wares that sell, but again, they didn’t create it so someone should get something.

I do think that if nobody does anything with a work for x amount of time (maybe 10 years) then it should be fair game for anyone that does.

Even things like old games, if I download a Contra NES ROM, how am I hurting Nintendo or Konami?

If I download LotR, how am I ripping off Tolkien? I’m not stealing a hard copy. I could borrow it from a physical library. Why can’t I borrow it from an electronic library? The person that deserves the rights to the literal story is dead. He doesn’t care.

There’s absolutely a good number of duplicates among the list they shared.

The bigger implication is of the 4 publishers in this lawsuit, 3 of them are in The Big Five publishers, who hold rights to the vast majority of books (60-80-ish % of English language books) from this century and probably a good chunk of the last one. If they win, this is the tip of the iceberg.

Internet Archive post about it

Google Doc List of the books from the IA

Yesterday there was another AskLemmy about what was the easiest instrument to learn and I felt like anyone asking that question without already having a clear vision in their head of what they wanted to be playing as far as instruments and music was just going to waste their time and money, but even trying to be very polite I thought it was too negative so I didn’t post it.

I think people think music will be a fun relaxing hobby, but it’s really like training to be an athlete. You won’t get any good unless it’s something you truly want to do because it’s a ton of work and a good instrument is expensive and I feel you should really start by taking lessons so you didn’t waste time on trial and error figuring out what to learn instead of learning how to do it.

Craigslist and eBay are full of gear that was barely touched because music is hard. It can be very rewarding, but you will still hate it at times. I tell my teacher all the time that I hate her 3/4 of the time because she constantly challenges me, but by the end of that week, I’ve put in enough time to master the lesson, and then I’m so happy and feel the rest of the time was worth it. It’s like some people love going to the gym and getting those endorphins or runners getting a runners high. Some people live for that, but for others, it’s just hell.

It sounds like you don’t enjoy the time and money you’ve spent. Just live and learn. Maybe come back to it later in life and see if things change. But don’t force yourself into hating it.

About an hour a day browsing, and another 1+ hour working on content and replying to people.

Somedays I feel bad spending my time here just working on my own stuff and not getting to enjoy what you all are doing!

I’m hearing from so many new people today! I knew there had to be more of you out there!

Always feel free to chime in with a question, comment, or request.

Glad to hear it! It’s fun always finding new things to share.

I try not to spam myself nowadays, but !superbowl@lemmy.world has great photos, of course, but I also have a good bit of educational and scientific content and places you can go visit in person.

I post daily, so if you have even a remote interest in beautiful killer birds, give it a look. I just did another ELI5 research paper write up today, and with 250 types of owls, I can guarantee you stuff you’ve never seen before!

Right?! I saw new Doom on here which I haven’t played, but the lack of people listing Doom 1 and 2 on here is pretty surprising, esp as the Lemmy crowd seems to skew older.

I took a minute to pick between 1 and 2, but 2 felt bigger and I felt I spent more time with it, at least unmodded.

Oh shoot, I forgot the original Deus Ex too! I don’t know if I saw that on here anywhere either. Just too much gold for only 10 picks. I was sad I had to bump off American Magee’s Alice as well.

I never got to have a LAN party but we did do a weekly StarCraft night via modem. It felt so amazing at the time to be able to sync up a game online.

StarCraft doesn’t make my list though cuz I always sucked at it! 😤

I’m a pretty casual gamer, so I’ve pretty much only played the “hits” a few years after they’ve been out.

These are the ones I remember feeling the most groundbreaking and spending the most time with over the years.

• Doom 2
• GTA San Andreas
• Yakuza 0
• Last of Us
• Zelda: Link to the Past
• Duke Nukem 3D
• Carmageddon 2
• Eternal Darkness
• Red Dead 2
• Metal Gear

I got a good laugh out of the other post that is all the Yakuza games, because that’s how I spent a ton of my Covid work from home time playing them on the cheap. They had the fun of the GTA games, but I never like the main characters were bad people, so Yakuza gave me the games I’ve wanted through all the GTA years and then some.

After getting it, I didn’t notice the hugest difference at first as I was learning to dial it in, but the first time I went back to my fav preground it just tasted so flat and stale.

It’s given me access to do much great coffee now that I can get whatever I want, and being able to adjust grind to tweak the flavor even more has been great.

I don’t do the espresso machine, but the Baratzza Encore for my pour over or Aeropress has been one of my best food/beverage investments. Between that and a bag of different single origins beans a month almost makes getting up for work bearable! 😄
