Vertical tabs really help. i average around 25, but sometimes i get well over 100. Too many tabs on the top bar and they just become icons with a few characters of text, but with vertical tabs you can actually read them.

I use the "Tree style tabs" extension (which gives you outline-style tabs and sub-tabs) and a couple lines of userChrome.css to hide the top tab bar. Very happy they added native vertical tabs, i may switch to that eventually.

This applies to my cities in SC4 and CS1:

  • Multiple small cites whose grids/layouts merge as they expand

  • overbuilt rail infrastructure that gets abandoned over time

  • large undeveloped "park" areas

  • small country roads that lead nowhere

  • gaps between houses, especially on the outskirts

I am bad at SC4 so to that game i'd add:

  • abandoned neighborhoods from nuclear disasters

i will try this next time! My method does leave the cast-iron pan pretty crusty

the cheese is also a great suggestion

Thanks! Sounds delicious and not too complicated. i'm sure the extra salsa and crema is good on other stuff too

We taco-heads want a recipe

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 children)

it's vegetal, slightly sour, and can have a nice texture. Flavor like green beans but fresher and better tasting. Nopales + beans + salsa make excellent vegetarian tacos. They are also great added to meat tacos and the acidity means you can skip the lime (or not)

the trick is to cook the shit out of them. When you cook them, they release a goopy mucus that burns in the pan. most restaurants (at least near me) stop when they turn translucent. this gives them a slimy texture i don't care for.

i recommend continuing to cook the until all the mucus burns off and you have nice non-slimy bits. taste and texture are much better this way IMO. i have heard you can get the same or better results grilling on an open flame, but i haven't tried that yet.

side loading apps? or files?

Thanks! I didnt realize iTunes was still supported.

Seems like you can also use the iOS VLC app to get mp3s on there

Another method is to use KDE connect to transfer the files, which would also work for your game backups

That or we are looking at things upside-down

What do you use iTunes for? That stood out to me.

Also Chrome works fine on Linux, though Firefox is a better browser even on Windows.

I'm in an area that cools down at night so i use that as much as possible:

Once daytime temps drop below indoor temps (usually late evening) i open all windows and arrange a couple fans and run them on low all night. My goal is to move all of the hot air out of the apartment and replace it with cool outdoor air.

In the morning, ideally just before sunrise, i draw most/all curtains, shutter blinds, close windows, and turn off all excess lights. During the day i keep everything closed and the air still, and use as few lights as i can manage.

I can generally maintain about 15 degrees (f) cooler indoors with this technique. I currently live on the third floor which is working against me; this was much more effective (20-25 degrees) when i lived on the ground floor.

If i leave the windows open it or worse forget to draw the blinds it gets much warmer indoors than outside. I think my building must have pretty mediocre insulation and my windows are all single-pane.
