A complete appview is a several terabytes sized database of the >18 billion follows, likes and posts of all bsky users, ever and forever.
To run a different appview is to make a fork in bsky’s timeline.

Man, fuck this city. I spent a good chunk of my afternoon ensuring my sidewalk and driveway was clear because I need to take my newborn to his first well baby visit first thing in the morning. I don’t fucking need this.

Several people I know have used the word "beautiful" for this piece, and that's exactly right. A beautifully phrased essay on the bind we're in— until we aren't.
Recommended, in an extreme way.

My hypothesis was correct. The cat themed Lego set was a draw, but actually building it is tedious and uninteresting, and the play is limited.
But the bucket of classic blocks? So far there’s a house and a skateboard and the minifig exists in a whole world.

It's hard because the people at MoT are just a bunch of dinosaurs who believe that they know better than the rest of the entire planet.
That's peak Ontario mentality of thinking they are the center of the world when they are just the most provincial of the provinces.

Looks like Glenn and I take a similar approach to Turkey, and this thread on breaking down the bird is detailed and probably helpful if you’ve never done it.
I don’t usually break up the legs like he does, because we usually BBQ them, but we sous vide the breasts as he intends to.

As promised, I’m going to show you how I break a turkey. I do not cook turkeys whole. Further, I plan on sous vide-ing it, so breaking it into parts is pretty much necessary.
If raw meat or pictures of a turkey being cut up is not something you want to see, please mute the thread. (Or me, I guess.)
