I meant like 480p with an encoding error that makes it not able to be fast forwarded without crashing.

It that being the only way to watch it without hunting down a VHS kinda thing

LOL it always the hot garbage that I’m shocked I managed to find that I try to seed as long as possible almost as an apology for making someone else have to host it to give it to me.

But I will say sometimes it’s just a bad quality and it’s hard to figure out if it’s worth keeping it around because it’s the only version available or letting it die.

The taste and texture makes my stomach do somersaults.

Haha alright that’s a new one but I get it. Scalloped potatoes are awesome though just layers of potatoes and onion and some milk and spices baked until tender. Can add anything to them and it’s hard to be certain what the flavor is after it all melds together.

But I hope you try and enjoy the potato bread. I love it and do it for simple grilled cheese sandwiches cause is pretty filling.

I wish you all the best luck and hope you get the chance to make some zucchini bread soon and good crop yield!

LOL just wanted to see if there was anything special about Idaho I guess. But nah it’s how we bred the potatoes. As long as it’s cool enough they will grow anywhere.

You can use them to make bread actually. And thicken a soup. Some of my favorite ways to hide them. And that should help disperse whatever is happening with them.

I think you might have a gastro issue with them. Potatoes are so high in basically everything that they can upset your stomach, and it not be a grease thing. Unless you are getting really grean skinned potatoes full of solanine you might actually be best using them sparingly.

You could look into yams. Sweeter but usually still cheap and pretty darn healthy. I would also say grow peas or green beans. They sprout in days and will harvest for month/s.

Unfortunately if you struggle with potatoes you might also struggle with eggplant that also tends to be cheap.

If you have zucchini I love to just cut them in half and scoop out some of the inside center and mix that with breadcrumbs and sauce and some cheese put it back in the zucchini boat and bake them. They store well and are pretty filling.

I get food insecurity. I once had to feed my whole family on the budget of just my paper route because of a drunk Mom. It’s not fun. But if you let me know what is cheap around you maybe we can figure out something if you want.

I have pretty much taken to making my own stuff to save money and bread is way easier than you think if you are ok with it not being super special but with some money saved they can get a little more fun. I just recently did little buns with mustard and onion powder that was way better than burger buns from the store for way cheaper.

Literally yeast water salt and flour is enough to make pizza dough. If you have a jar of active dry yeast it will last forever it feels and if you just put some in a new jar with some water and flour you can just keep it growing forever and literally not bother buying more. Then sauce and cheese and throw it on a pan you had preheating in the oven.

And milk that’s starting to sour you should absolutely try to make into a quick cheese or something cause it’s likely not bad just chemically changing. Just a little vinegar and you can make cheese or if you are baking use it instead of water and the sour flavor actually helps them taste better.

Chive pancakes can also be made cheap and be a nice thing to make a lot of freeze and use as a filling snack/side.

I will add in that adding some cheap meat and some cheap veggies of any kind to stretch a meal absolutely makes it way more filling and can let you get second and 3rd meals from it.

Also potatoes are insane. I tossed a few under a bush during the winter and just realized I see their sprouts coming out from underneath it in several spots. And a single potato I tried to purposefully grow is wildly outperforming the basil I’m trying to grow. A bowl and some straw could probably grow these things with a little water and fertilizer.

Oh shit, English and French required, arbitrary expiration date because it’s not required.

You should be a detective I bet you nailed it in one.

Did you know you can store smoked salmon at room temp pretty much indefinitely in an unopened package?

Food storage has gotten really good, all the tricks of smoke, sugar or salt of our ancestors with now radiation sterilization and other cool tricks with science.
All that to say. It’s probably fine. You just bought it and I’m sure this was made to last as long as it can as reliably as it can so that they don’t lose money.

Most best buy dates are just made up anyways and not based on much. Check for gas build up, a weird odor, extreme discoloration, or foreign objects or growths. That will get you through pretty much every rotten food type without having to taste it.

That’s said, where are you shopping that has a mixture of Japanese, Chinese, French, and robot codes?

Sure but also general trolls that are just trying to get an emotional rise just piss in wind thinking they aren’t getting bait. It’s that concept of not feeding the trolls.

Also comments are reddits bread and butter so processing a few extra aren’t really impacting them and they are small to begin with. There is also the added bonus of it looks good on metrics for interactions.

I think assuming every troll has a bot army is greatly overestimating them, people are more underwhelming than even they like to admit. And seems like it could help with minor deviants but also I wonder if that would make them act up more and turn to more offensive ways of baiting an audience, but then you ban them.
Sort of like boiling a group down on purpose. A bit awful as you help nurture the problems to be more easy to remove.

Oh God right! The weirdest darkest form of mild censorship.

I can decide if it’s clever or very fucked up.

On Reddit you will be banned if you say something the mods don’t like and they take personally. And it can get you banned off the sire permanently too.

Often commenting on one thread will ban you from other subreddits entirely by bot. Plus all the same garbage of not being able to say words that are considered naughty or no-no words from people who think it makes them superior are all over reddit.

I once got banned from a “leftist” subreddit cause I pointed out that a post was right wing disinformation and the mod responded that they agreed with it so it couldn’t be propaganda and then spent like an hour yelling at me in my messages about how it was a starter leftist sub and that I didn’t belong if I wasn’t going to agree.

But honestly the world is full of the dumbest little shits and everyone everywhere has a quirk and Lemmy is full of people full of themselves and thinking their shit don’t stink. That and moderately well off liberals that can’t handle being told they are wrong because they “are well educated and know how things work”.

I do think it’s insane how quick people are to block and how even more empty it makes the fediverse, interesting that you are dealing with people that also have the ability to delete your replies though as that’s not really a thing on Lemmy so maybe a mastodon thing?

It already exists it just depends on your instance.

Plenty of group think moving through posts and competing with other group think.

I’m glad!

It’s really actually quite usable, like actually I think I use it more than any other search or site.

I honestly don’t know why it’s not on from the start other than maybe like a legal thing “oh they have to enable the piracy”.

That sounds lonely.

The idea of an imagined recipe based on random ingredients from a thing that doesn’t understand the concept of taste seems like a “recipe” for some really gross food.

Oh do you know that QB offers plugins for public and private sites? I don’t have any private ones but they have a bunch. Plus you can actually search specific sites there is a whole menu for it. Totally doable if maybe a bit clunky I guess.

Yeah I don’t get the Arrs.
I guess it would help with the shows that drop weekly but it’s honestly a bit fun to hunt for them.

Hey, come on I hadn’t checked back yet to upvote it too… but yeah holy moly that’s great to know and also still a pain.

Wait is that yet another torrent search tool that then gets searched through the built in torrent search tool? What?

I don’t get the purpose of all these middle-man apps, am I too old for this?

I have UBO and had to disable it, refresh the page, then re-enable it, and refresh the page again and even then I still get the popup but at least it gives me the option to click download anyway. Maybe it’s a browser thing, maybe it’s an IP address thing. I dunno but it’s buggy as hell and super unreliably coded.
