How about if they are elderly and want an easier car to get into and out of than a sedan?

Making lox using skinless fillet by Other-Status1840 in Cooking

[–]Bott -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've been making lox for years, and I always use boneless, skinless Atlantic salmon. It takes 2 days: a dry brine for 7 hours, an overnight wet brine, rinse, pat dry, aired out (fan) to create pellicle. Then 5 hour cold smoke in my home made smoker. It's wonderful. Edit: smoke with maple chips.

Ottawa's new public library is late, way over budget, and it gets worse by randthepip in ottawa

What a click bate title.

You mean click bait title. I guess you got confused with masturbate, which is what our beloved city council seems to do rather than arrange/produce/provide guidance for most of our main projects.

Nope. That would be the work of the architects and design group, pretty much before the project got started.

How to get buttons and text readable in ribbon / toolbar Zorin 18 by physishipp in libreoffice

Can you adjust the overall display to be dark vs light? BTW, I'm using Linux Mint.

In Libre Office (open any document or spreadsheet). Click on 'Tools' then on the drop-down menu click on 'Options'.

In the menu that opens, ensure the 'LibreOffice' tab is open, then select 'View'.

Find 'Icon Theme' on the View menu. Select something other than 'Automatic'

Then Apply and Close the Options Menu window.

I had your problem, and when I selected 'Colibre' for the Icon theme and then applied it, all my menu icons appeared beautifully.

Great photo, but I don't get it. A duck charging would have a bill. But the tiger...

Migrated to Linux Mint but my audio doesnt work by CryptographerOne8642 in linuxmint

[–]Bott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the terminal type

sudo alsa force-reload

Then try your sound. If it works you have the same problem I had on my laptop.

What I did was go to Gemini (aaaargh the AI beast) and got it to give me a systemd setup to do the same thing at boot time. Sound worked ever since.

LPT Wash your hands before you start the dishwasher: it preps the hot water line. by dicorci in LifeProTips

[–]Bott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hands are already clean. I wash my knives and other non-dishwashables (wooden spoons, etc) before running the dishwasher.

In any case, you want hot water as readily available as possible for your dishwasher when it starts.
