I’d also like to further note that the Way Back Machine can (and should) be used to capture tweets, news stories, and social media posts that might get yanked. If that website you love is not around anymore, there very well might be a copy of it on the Internet Archive. You can even get an add-on for Firefox that will automatically prompt you if a version of the page that’s not loading exists in the archive.

Remove background is great for pictures with a clear distinction between subject and background, but if the subject shares a color with the background (even if they aren’t touching) it will sometimes take that too and it has trouble with more complicated backgrounds as well sometimes. There are tools in there to fix that but they aren’t always easy to use

Tomato Feta Egg Quesadillas

These ones are really freezer friendly! You can package them up to save, just wrap them in saran wrap and then in a ziplock bag.

All of my measurements are estimates but they should be mostly accurate! As always, adjust to your tastes. I didn't add any spices because the tomato, feta, and red onion add plenty of flavor. If you remove any of these ingredients they will not be very flavorful, so please sub in some spices! I think paprika or curry powder would work.

Tearing up the spinach helps it not tangle together. I general hold it in one hand and tear off chunks with the other hand. Chopping does not work the same!

Ingredients:

12 6-inch flour tortillas

6 eggs, beaten

4 campari tomatoes, diced

3-4 oz spinach, torn up

1/4 red onion, diced

1 cup shredded mozzarella

1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend

3 oz feta crumbles

olive oil

salt & pepper

Steps:

Add 1 tbsp to a pan over medium heat, fry the onion for 3-4 minutes.

Scooch the onion to one side of the pan and add the eggs (with more oil) to the other half, salt and pepper both halves. Start to scramble the eggs.

To the onion, add the tomatoes and feta.

While the eggs are still runny, stir both halves of the pan together. Mix in the spinach.

Cook a bit further to help dry out the eggs.

In a separate pan, heat 2 tortillas on medium. Flip them and add mozzarella to one side and Mexican blend to the other. Spoon eggs on top, turn to low, and let cheese melt.

Put sides on top of one another, let finish melting. Transfer to cutting board and slice.

If freezing, wrap 2 quarters in saran wrap, then pop into a ziplock bag before freezing.

fucked that you can’t fix other people especially when you really care about them. Oh so im just supposed to be there for you while you suffer. like a useless cunt gargoyle

when i was a teenager i used to catch myself thinking "i'm really glad i'm alive right now because of all the cool personal technologies that exist" and when i did i'd think it through and reckon that well, its not like teenagers in the 70s and 80s knew they didnt have ipods or facebook or whatever. they were also happy with the tech they had. and i'd reason that in the future there would be more fun technologies that i dont know i'm missing out on right now and the future will be an even cooler time to exist

anyway i was dead fucking wrong about that last part. i hate personal technologies now. i miss having an ipod that doesnt advertise shit to me and i miss when my htc wildfire didnt harass me 45 times a day to install an ai assistant and then install it anyway when i say no and i miss when the internet wasnt 5 websites all of which i have to log into and i miss when i didnt need an app to talk to my landlord. sorry past me you were actually right about 2009

there was a cloud shaped like bart simpson in 1852 and nobody recognized it

dramatic-dolphin

why do americans think everyone on the internet lives in the same place as them. just saw someone say honeybees are "not native". not native to where????? the entire planet?????

dramatic-dolphin

saw a photo of garlic mustard somewhere on the internet once and americans in the comments were like "fun fact this plant is invasive so you should definitely tear out any you see, WITH THE ROOTS so it won't spread!" whole fucking time i'm living in garlic mustard native range. i don't think i will be doing that.

queerautism

This drives me absolutely up the wall in r/birdfeeding. Every time there's a picture of a house sparrow, the entire comments are filled with americans talking about them being invasive and how they should be basically killed on sight. But often OP has not provided a location, and house sparrows have a HUGE native range. Here in the UK they're not only native birds, they're on the decline, they need our help and protection.

robotslenderman

Me every time I see a post saying that you should destroy your lawn and cram a bunch of native plants as closely together as you can instead. Look, I'm not saying lawns are native to Australia because they're not, but our native plants evolved to burn; they are dry, their leaves are dry, and they're full of oils. If you plant native plants the way Americans tell you to that's a fucking fire hazard and you are endangering yourself and your neighbours next time we have a Black Summer.

robotslenderman

My friend @ryttu3k linked me a great PDF on planting a native Australian garden in such a way as to reduce its status as a fire hazard!

fluffmugger

tapping onto this, Ry's guide is for a specific part of NSW. Australia is a very very big place and there is a lot of biodiversity. So don't take one guide as The One True Guide because I used to be a ranger and lemme tell you, trying to stuff native plants in terrains they are unsuited for just creates a mess for everyone. Honestly, just google "native planting <your council> " and they will have a guide that is specific to your area.

palaeoplushies

I'm still mad that someone told me off for posting a picture taken where I live in the UK of a (UK native) butterfly feeding on (UK native) knapweed because knapweed is horribly invasive (in the US) ... The butterfly went uncommented because that one wasn't found in the US at all.

Also No Mow May is a UK-based initiative to encourage native wildflowers found in lawns here. It doesn't really work in the US because commonly introduced lawn plants are often not native and therefore offer no benefit to being left to flower!

You are 60% water and every lake, river, pond, swamp, creek, and ocean you encounter wants to reclaim it desperately. Be careful out there.

Good, I hope it haunts everyone about to enter a body of water so bad that they wear a life jacket. 🙌

should-be-sleeping

Every single person I knew (past tense) who has drowned was "a strong swimmer." Water in the wild does not care how good you are at swimming.

should-be-sleeping

I mean this with all due respect:

You are not going to pass a skillcheck against a rip current once it has you.

Waves will not bow to your physical prowess no matter how impressive.

Shock does not care that you used to be on your school swim team.

If you hit your head, being good at swimming isn't going to turn you face-up while you're unconscious.

You may be unable to return to shore. Rescue may be unable to find you quickly.

Scheduling this for when weather starts warming up. Be careful swimming this summer

We need an alternative to doesthedogdie cause they’ve started fucking paywalling warnings that include timestamps for triggering moments.

thedreammweaver

Like what the fuck

autisticharrywells

I just checked and

Need to read about trigger warnings? Please click the whimsical dog icon for more information!

I recommend Unconsenting Media. Not as comprehensive as DoesTheDogDie, but if sexual assault is a trigger for you, it’s a good resource

troglobite

rbing again real quick--i and other(s?) have noted in other rbs that this is almost never done. it's for very few properties, and it's only for timestamped warnings that are done in-house, not by users.

there are still timestamps available for warnings on those same triggers for those same properties. just bc there's a paywall on something doesn't mean other comments and timestamps can't be posted or read for free on that property or that trigger.

see here:

i don't have an account and haven't paid for anything on the site, so all of those comments are what i'm seeing for free.

i had to search and search to find anything that had paywalls, and had to resort to looking at The Substance, as referenced here. i've been using the site regularly since the op posted and have never organically encountered a paywall on anything, including on very popular properties.

i don't see any reason to stop using the site--everything is still available for free. they just have added another way for some ppl to choose to pay some $ (in addition to ads), since this is a completely free service, and no website is free to maintain.

as an example, someone with the money could pay to see the timestamps, and then leave a free comment with the same timestamps for others if they wanted to.

sarith-kzekarit

I've seen this post on my dash a few times now and I want to boost this specific addition. I've emailed the owner of the site to get clarification on this, and I was told the motivation behind this. He wanted to start paying some people to memorize all 200+ triggers on the site, sit down and watch popular movies/shows to thoroughly analyze whenever any trigger pops up, and note down timestamps and details of them. Ads unfortunately do not cover this (they probably only cover the site's base upkeep), so the subscription service is specifically to pay these people. Community comments have never been paywalled and are still accessible.

He thanked me for my feedback when I expressed confusion and concern about the paywalled comments being mixed in with the free comments, and has since updated the site to make them clearly distinct, along with a preview of what the paid comments look like:

He was very transparent about it all and very kind. He also said this was his mistake and is trying to clear it up. Please continue to use DoesTheDogDie.com, it is an excellent resource and there is nothing else like it!
