      I can’t cook an upvote. Doggo needs biscuits since his human declines other recompense.

      500g lean mince (lamb or chicken works well-beef/pork can be a bit too fatty and go rancid), 300g rolled oats or oatmeal, 1 375g jar peanut butter, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 tablespoon kelp powder (optional). Mix well, and chill in the fridge for 1 hour. Dough will become quite squishy then firm up as it chills. If its too squishy after chilling, mix in more oats. Form into thumblike logs or roll out to 1/2 cm thick and cut bikkie shapes of your choice. Gingerbread men work well, but any shape that’s not too pointy will do. I used to make deep indents to make it easier to break into pieces. Bake at about 150 degrees C on a parchment lined tray for about 1 hour until thoroughly dried out and crunchy. Might take longer depending on how mushy the mince is, and logs take a bit longer. Logs should snap when bent not go bendy. Store in an airtight tin out of the fridge for up to 2 weeks if kept dry and cool. This mixture makes a couple of dozen bikkies or a dozen or so logs. Can be re-baked in a low oven if they go limp with storage.

          Forgot to mention - the absolute best mince is kangaroo. Way back when this was super cheap but now is costly as venison (which also works well but I’m not wasting venison on the dog). Also you may get a crispy frill of melted peanut butter around each bikkie when baking - just snap this off and give to the dog as a special treat. There’s nothing in this recipie that’s harmful to humans so if the kids get into them that’s no cause for worry.

    Is there a lemmy suggestions box? I like to be able to hide users without blocking them and I’d like to be able to disable comment replys. God dam making some comments out of the instance and I get a bunch of updates from aggressive nerds that I really don’t care for. I tended to disable comments on reddit as soon as I’d commented due to notification avoidance.

        Hiding feels more like I’m not interested in their content, blocking is for people I don’t like. Sometimes when dealing with my own struggles I can do without hearing about someone else’s. Even just being able to have their posts auto collapsed.

          This is the closest feature request I have found, you could probably filter on username if/when that feature is implemented.

          If that isn’t quite what you are after, that GitHub is the place to make your request.

    I just went outside and someone was smoking a big fat smelly joint.

    I miss it; made me realise why my sleep is fucked up - I haven’t had medical in months now. Always tired and unrested.

    I hate how expensive it is. Fuck I need a job so I can sleep again.

      Uhh, you sure it’s not the six hour nap? More exercise will help your sleep too. It usually only takes me a week to shake the no pot insomnia.

        Haha yes the 6 hour nap had a lot to do with it! I mean just my sleep rhythm in general. I use medical for cptsd symptoms, mainly night-terrors and subsequent insomnia. It stops me from waking up during the bad dreams/terrors, meaning I’m not avoiding sleep, and subsequently falling asleep during the day.

        I do need to exercise more in general anyway, which I’m sure would help significantly!

          Cptsd is a different story from regular no weed insomnia. Most of my friends buy off market as its still cheaper than prescribed.

        Boyo and I have decided that this time, yeah, it does need to be hardcore. We keep finding excuses to be lax and dance around the issues, so going all in together to be better supports.

          It is so good to have an encouraging partner. My husband is my underpaid PT. But unless one of you has done this before with success, hardcore may not be the way to go.

          I wish you all the best and I can’t wait to hear your wins. ❤️

            We’ve both done is separately before with great success - and both “fell off the wagon” due to completely reasonable circumstances, so I have a good feeling about this!

            Underpaid PT, I love it. I’m sure he’s paid in love and karaoke! Thanks for your support, CEO!

    Steven Wilson released a new album recently and I’m digging it. His last few albums had more of an attempted pop spin on them whereas this one is two songs that go for around 20 minutes each. I don’t think we’ll get another Hand. Cannot. Erase. but it’s good to see a turn in that direction again.

        I can appreciate To The Bone more now knowing he bought a Telecaster and pretty much wrote the album with it, but I love the sweeping prog albums he did earlier and with Porcupine Tree

    I know I keep saying tinyest’s language is exploding. but hes now repeating almost all words said to him (or trying to anyway). He can now say “if you say so” and uses 2 words together pretty frequently. Sadly its “daddy, no” a lot of the time. But hes also become a lot less stingy with his hugs. And you best be prepared cause sometimes they are surprise hugs.

      One of my boys is a real talker. He’s at the same stage saying things like “this is mine”, “See you later”, and “see you tomorrow”. My girlfriend asked him what I do at work and he said “Helping old people” because that’s what she says to him when I go do my tech support sessions.

    I’m just tired and don’t feel up to the drama of potential scammers. I’m just gonna buy from reliable big stores now or buy on sight.

    oh, and I did some image searches, the items I were interested on ebay were not described correctly, they were great items but described ikea etc 😠

    So I have a choice to make about this friday that I need to make today to ask for leave.

    Friday’s are usually a light work day 9 out 10 times.

    Should I take it off this week or stick it out and just spend the day at work?
