@geraineon @Forestofglory ooh what a nice little machine! the farm eggs we get are ungraded so probably would get…irregular results using it tho alas
@Lady girls are mostly made of water so u wld also expect them to expand while freezing
hm maybe i will just rec rss feeds for the rest of the month. dreamwidth tells me i have a lot of them 🤔
also if you want somewhere to start off your RSS feeds, acoup writes a very accessible and enjoyable history blog which mixes posts about points of interest in European history (mostly rome, which is his specialty but venturing into the middle ages at times) with breakdowns of pop culture topics eg. would any of that sci-fi hardshell body armor actually work?
Have not been up on #DecRecs this year (I keep meaning to, & even thinking of things to rec and then forgetting 😅) but I do want to take a moment to rec subscribing to things via RSS! I just use dreamwidth.org’s built in reader which is Extremely Minimalist but there are many nice fuller featured rss readers out there (eg. https://netnewswire.com )
@alyssa @wallhackio i assume this is Jacques Audiard’s Emilia Pérez
@akjcv@types.pl @packbat yeah same the only egg discourse i have encountered is “maybe don’t aggressively apply labels to others without their consent” which is a principle i stand by in most contexts
@Betty too close fitting also means you can’t shove em over a pair of gloves, compounding the difficulties
physical health, still a bit rubbish
@lookitmychicken mystery illnesses suck :( i hope the meds work quickly!
@Betty oh interesting! whats yr process?
@Lady wasnt clear because the journalists had provided too many relevant examples of such presumably
@netkitty hello kitten!
poll about gifts + insecurity
@twistylittlepassages for sure 
poll about gifts + insecurity
@twistylittlepassages yeah we have a lot of dietary restrictions and other food complications as well (also clothing complications—like half my family can’t do synthetic fibers, and one person has a wool allergy) which is one of the things that drove the lists actually!
the froughtness around money is tricky, and i think can maybe only be solved by addressing the cultural issues re:money outside of a gifting context first? idk
poll about gifts + insecurity
@twistylittlepassages on the one hand, there’s so much stuff in the world that i don’t really want to add to it by giving someone something they’ll never use or appreciate—like that’s not a gift, that’s just creating work for them since now they have to figure out what to do with this thing thats creating clutter in their living space
on the other hand, there’s a pleasure in giving someone a little luxury they wouldn’t necessarily justify buying for themselves—a really nice knit hat or an expensive brand of olive oil. Though those can in turn be fraught if you say, try to buy tea for someone whose normal tea budget is higher than your gift budget or whatever.
So it’s definitely a bit complicated! My family does a shared wishlist (literally just a shared page in the notes app) which imo has improved both the gift buying and gift receiving experience. And also it turns out we all just want nice socks 😆
