I got a Sony PRS-505 from late 2007, around the time of the first kindle. At the time it was amazing to be able to travel with just that instead of travel guides and multiple novels like I did before taking up weight and space. That was also like two years prior to me getting a smart phone. Since then I have had two different kindles, but they did not have as much of an impact as that sony ereader did.

Air Fryer. Its not quite as good as grilled, but still great and more convenient. Quicker than boiling and better than microwaving.

 

Kind of fun to play around in the NPS data for the different states. Have you visited any of our National Parks lately?

Looks like Arizona mostly missed the rain from Hillary. Too bad.

These are super simple, take under 20 minutes, and people love them.

For a dinner: Baked salmon with lemon, butter, garlic and dill. Saute some spinach on the side. For a lunch: Sandwich. Crusty baguette, a soft cheese of some sort, slices of green apples. Maybe a cured meat like prosciutto if you are feeling that. Takes no time at all to make but feels fancy. For a breakfast: Oatmeal with guava paste. It turns pink which is fun, then toast some slivered almonds in a bit of butter and server them hot on top.

 

Tell your out of state friends that Arizona has toilet snakes so they don't move here.

I first joined Lemmy.ml and beehaw because when I joined those were pretty much the only active English language instances. I moved to lemmy.ca because Lemmy.ml started going down more when redditors showed up, and I didn't like beehaw's "defederate now and sort it out later" attitude. Plus I figured going with a mid sized instance is best. They aren't going to get overloaded because they are too big, and aren't going to shut down due to lack of interest either.

Go now. I had an ear infection on a Friday night and didn't see anyone until the next day. It ended with some permanent hearing loss for me.

I would say 20 years ago almost no one had an electric kettle in the US. Now they are much more common, but still only in a minority of homes. Americans just don't drink nearly as much tea as the English. The UK consumes 1.94kg of tea per person annually. The US is 0.23kg. (per wikipedia). You will find a coffee maker in most homes and hotel rooms though.

 

Still 0% containment on the Diamond fire in Tonto National Forest.

Tinykin is so good. It has 3d platformer and Metroid Prime influences alongside pikmin. I fully completed it and enjoyed every minute.
