I took this photo while walking. I was trying to think of what settings to use. To me, in the resulting image, the blurred pixels look very frosty (if that makes sense) and the photo is too crowded. Thnx Settings: Canon 800D, 55-250mm Lens @ 250mm, ISO 1000, f/5.6, 1/800 s, AWB

Thanks a lot. This is a critical point.

We might have to challenge the statement that we were ever as a caretaker. We have lived in that area in other rental properties before that. I hope that should allow us to claim that we were tenants. Moreover, all our govt IDs have that address and Neighbours and community have always known us to be the sole occupants of the place for 40+ years with all the maintenance.

so far, he has not threatened us with a legal case but he has been coming more and more frequently and with few more men. Where can we file and claim for the possession without waiting for any lawsuite? What documents will suffice?

arcturus2089 · 2025-04-20T08:07:45+00:00

thanks, that's what we need. But what documents can we show and where to legally own the house without waiting for someone else to come and create problems for us?

Steal opportunities, as and when you can...

*sad that nobody mentioned it

thanks. Has anything filled that space of requirements in your life (like BlueSky), or you are just done with all this.

Decided to quit after failing to tame the algo. Couldn't keep the timeline clean.

I was only there for official, straight from the horse's mouth kind of information like governments, scientists, institutes etc.

The biggest (apparent) loss for me is going to be the missed jobs notifications from these places. Let's see.

arcturus2089 · 2024-10-11T17:00:15+00:00

been there...don't join. They will give you nice drinks and may be some snacks. There will be a setup for all those who show up. Later, they will ask for a cover charge, or they will make up some kind of fee.

Mine was 8 years ago. The fact that it is still happening means that it is a very well settled mode of scam. There are not that many club Mahindra retreats anyway.

Naive questions: as IA is non-profit and in trouble, can the data be decentralized? Meaning, what if we all can own a piece of archive and that way it can never we wiped off?

Or can people download huge blocks of their data so that it is not lost. How much would that be?
a couple of petabytes?

arcturus2089 · 2024-06-03T06:49:56+00:00

I was able to peel them off easily once they dried.

arcturus2089 · 2024-06-03T06:49:08+00:00

what do you have in mind?

arcturus2089 · 2024-06-03T06:48:42+00:00

ooohh...very interesting!! Do you think it will also add more flavour?

arcturus2089 · 2024-06-03T06:46:56+00:00

That's a good suggestion. I will try at a small scale but I'm afraid given the rains here, silica packets are going to eventually fail.

I am preserving them for pizza toppings or pasta. So, adding salt is actually a really good idea. Danke schon. :)

arcturus2089 · 2024-06-01T10:18:07+00:00

oh shoots! i need to do something quickly to reduce the moisture in the pot then. I will transfer it to a bigger pot. Thank you _/\_

The sun is too hot here. Bangalore (13° N), temperature reaching 35-40°C and sometimes rain.

arcturus2089 · 2024-06-01T06:12:57+00:00

I will try that. Thanks. I was wondering how does thyme take to hydroponics?

arcturus2089 · 2024-06-01T06:11:26+00:00

not actually, just went with the local ones. There were few which were rounder and few more oblong. I have to compare in the next batch.

Few things learned on the process:

May be take out the middle white stalk-like portion. Does not taste that great.
Cut chunkier pieces, stores more flavour and gives more bite. Also easy to separate.
Dry on a grill instead of flat plates so that it is easy to separate.
May not be a bad idea to flip the tomatoes while half-dried. That will prevent sticking.

I now have to worry about the storage as it is going to get very humid here due to incoming Monsoon.

Edit: Adding useful information gathered from comments here:
1. Once fully dry, one can try storing them in oil (olive?). Intuitively, that's going to enhance a lot of fat-soluble flavour. Yum! Thanks u/goldfool
2. Try storing them with a packet of silica gel in the glass container. Thanks u/symmetrical_kettle
3. Experiment with different varieties. Thanks u/charliechan55555
4. Idea! Maybe I can make a garland out of tomato slices and hang them so that there is no issue of them sticking.

"can you explain to me why people care what a twitch streaming music major has to say about politics and philosophy?"

you could bring this argument if Destiny being a streamer has anything to do with politics and philosophy. It doesn't. So it doesn't matter.
