@superborb @ryfulets thats good to know!

@ryfulets @superborb yeah i was also disappointed by that, though presumably one should be able to download font packages to fix? the original OS is Chinese so as long as you aren’t bothered by it being a bit clunkier you’ll presumably get full font support

@ryfulets yeah fortunately a decent amount of the stuff i want to read on it anyway is like, webnovels and such where i’m already just transferring my own saved files rather than going thru a store, so the tradeoff isn’t as bad as if i was just getting things thru a dedicated store…will let you know how it goes i guess 😅

@ryfulets big mood, facing the same quandary for my upcoming trip (i decided to just bite the bullet and get the teeny xteink 4, which i’d already been considering but idk how much it will actually solve things vs just adding yet another variable)

@alis i was kinda wondering why everyone was so obsessed with muji when the photos i’d seen of their clothes looked b standard and then i logged on and saw they had 100% linen pants and understood immediately

@jeridansky definitely interesting! kinda horrified by how often the fix is just “lie and say you’re chrome” though. which unlike the other specific quirks one would hope would be the solution zero percent of the time

@RC montrose point bird sanctuary is small but packed with birds — part of the Chicago parks system so free to enter and wander around

its just off Lake Michigan so you can swim there as well, assuming the weather cooperates

@djsundog girls with fingernails that shine like justice?

@alis fair enough! we are also dreaming of renoing the kitchen for more storage so maybe someday we’ll also be getting all of the big appliances lol

@alis re: pasta machine mixing pasta dough is super easy but the hand crank rollers for shaping (which are much smaller and therefore easier to store than the all in one models) are worth it imo!

if i did even 5% less baking than i currently do i would probably say the stand machine isn’t worth it (but also i have a beater attachment for my immersion blender, so its really just creaming butter recipes that actually need need a full stand mixer)

@Forestofglory thats a very pretty fabric! and the shirt looks nice and comfortable too

@elena i will accept the bulbosity if you drive a honda element but that is as far as i’ll go

@darius if you’re looking for good sourdough recipes, Hamelman’s Bread is very well regarded as well. I think it’s on its 3rd or 4th addition now?

@darius Rose Levie Baranbaum’s bread bible is fairly comprehensive and well tested. It was published in 2003 so no Tangzhong method milk breads, or the modern ultra high hydration sourdoughs but for any classic bread recipe it’s my preferred source

@clayote carto, maybe?
