I like turning the rind into pickles. Very good!

For banana skins, you can turn them into a vegan bacon. Many recipes online that are all pretty much the same result. I like them too.

Yes I love those grape drinks! Very similar to thinned out canned fruit cocktail syrup/fruits.

Where are you looking to move to? I agree that it seems like an obvious feature to be missing.

Kind of reminds me of this, too: https://www.nytimes.com/video/insider/100000004687429/farewe...

I also love the old switchboards and office furniture. It is indeed a time capsule.

Yes, the comment sections are not something I dip into because it's a minefield. The baby gets thrown out with the toxic bath water in that instance but it's much better for mental health.

I’ve been on the creator side with 1M+ followers and the amount of times someone has dropped a kind note like that can be counted on one hand. It’s such a breath of fresh air compared to the hate, criticizing and general unpleasantness that is so pervasive when dealing with online communities - even my own.

As a result, I make it a point to send notes to anyone if I’ve enjoyed their work, because I know how much its meant to me, that I hope to pass along those kind, appreciate feelings.

I have that and still have regular sync conflicts. :(

That's what I'm hoping for as well

You: "So, what are some hobbies you enjoy in your free time?"

Them: "I got worms."

You: "I beg your pardon?"

Them: "That's what I do. I got worms and wormfarms and do composting."

Very cool! Just playing with it for the first time. Any chance of adding Turkish?

I've been doing similar: analog-ish for deep thinking and its been akin to the 'measure twice, cut once' adage and I've noticed the projects have improved outcomes. PS. If OP sees this: How are you liking the Pentax 17?

That's really fun. I like the quick snippet, but would like a 2nd tier of interesting facts about the thing instead of just the quick ironic bits (after looking at 'Inventors Killed by Their Inventions').

Would like to be able to skip items/stories without having to x or heart. Feels like a left or right swipe on the main cards should go to other topics. It doesnt feel right 'voting' on them without having read them.

Would equals be simple enough for a staff member with limited accounting and tech background who has been putting simple revenue, churn, product trend reports together by hand using our stripe data? If so, how can we reach out to schedule a meeting to discuss?

Exact same problems and I went the iPad mini route. Honestly, it was worth it. I bought an older one to save cash and it works great.

Just waiting for alien abduction and Elvis being alive and well articles to come out and we've got a new version of the old National Enquirer.

Was confused by this, as well. It appears they skilled the intermittent part entirely.

Agreed. History is rhyming a lot, lately. Feels like we're reliving events from about 100ish years ago.
