Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

Happy Friday!

Sorry guys, the lemmy.world stuff is not resolved. It got better a bit then got worse again.

It seems with that lemmy bug that only lets one action be sent at a time, we are limited to about 4 or 5 requests from lemmy.world per second because of the round trip time with us on the other side of the world. But because they already create content at about that rate (all actions, including votes), when you suddenly add a few hundred thousand Kbin actions from some Kbin issue, it's not clear we can ever catch up 🥲

I'm currently working through options, but if anyone has any ideas! I'm gonna try blocking Kbin temporarily, to see if rejecting those problem actions will help, but it probably won't because lemmy.world still won't be able to send us anything faster than they are now.

Edit: And just adding, outbound is fine. If you comment or post something on lemmy.nz, it federates to lemmy.world almost instantly. It's only the other direction, lemmy.world to lemmy.nz, that is a problem.

I've been watching Sandwiches of History every day for the last month or two. This is my favourite kind of youtube content - short 2ish minute videos, makes a recipe from history and then rates it. He also puts out video almost every single day.

It's made me think I should eat more sandwiches, there seems to be a lot variety out there I haven't explored. I guess anything is a sandwich if you put it between two pieces of bread. Anyone have some weird or interesting sandwiches you like to eat?

I missed your question.

Anyone have some weird or interesting sandwiches you like to eat?

Pie between two slices of bread? Banana and cheese? Jam and cheese? Sultanas and butter?

Hard to know what others think is weird or interesting!

[–] eagleeyedtiger 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Is jam and cheese common? I mentioned it to someone awhile ago and they made out I was the weird one for thinking a jam and cheese sandwich was weird.

Don't think I've tried sultanas and butter though

[–] Dave 2 points 8 months ago

Jam and cheese didn't seem uncommon to me until I moved around a bit. Some people have commented on how weird it is, others have said it seems normal, or that they haven't heard of it but that it doesn't sound unusual.

Now I think of it, I consider marmite and cheese to be very normal and common, is there anyone wanting to contest that view?

That's cool! I just watched a few. I love how he tries it, then improves it with his "let's get this plussed up" thing.

He seems to really know his sandwiches!

[–] eagleeyedtiger 2 points 8 months ago

Yes the plussing up is like his catchphrase now. Today's vid was one of the rare few that one of the plus up's wasn't as good.

He also has a surprising amount of different condiments on hand to plus them up!
