I'm coming at this from the perspective of someone who has primarily hiked in the northeastern US, but I expect a lot of other places can also have surprise rainstorms or sudden temperature drops in the middle of summer.

Jeans don't handle wet well. They aren't very good at insulating while wet, dry slowly, and will be very heavy while wet. These problems aren't unique to jeans, but jeans are much more popular than other garments with the same issues.

It's not unreasonable to turn away folks who show up in jeans. Especially if they gave advance notice.

Even if it were unreasonable, it's their club. You can find others to hike with if you'd like to wear jeans.

Lawnchair seems to do a good chunk of what Nova does. I haven't taken the time to fully recreate my setup, but most things I've tried have worked so far.

With Nova I have a setup that more or less fits everything on my home page without looking too busy. Lawnchair is letting me change the number of rows and columns, shrink icon size, choose a monochrome theme as a default, make folders, etc.

Same here, it seems to be the most common in tech circles online. I've never once said it and have someone understand. Not the meaning, nor the words.

Regarding milk as a name: plant milks are not new. Whitish liquids just get called milk. Even the real weird ones like pigeon milk.

Do you happen to know the brand of mycelium bacon you had? I'd be interested to try it

It's an iPhone, I'm not sure how much of a thing those are. I know for the handful of specific apps that I've bothered to check for my significant other, I've always come up empty handed.

Playing Worms at a friend's house around that age is one of the fondest memories I have of any game.

I don't use any of the emoji that could have a skin tone. I will occasionally use emoji, but don't find that the faces or hands are useful.

Oh yeah, being turned into a book is unlikely to be worth the headache for anyone involved. The tree burials that are legal in some spots is a reasonable option. Or just donation to science.

Whatever is cheapest/lowest fuss is fine. If that means I get reused or recycled great! If not, just don't let me be a bother.

Sky burial is also awesome. Hopefully there are enough vultures to keep that up in at least some places. There's a 99% Invisible episode that talks about collapsing vulture populations resulting in issues with doing it in India.

Same for human parts for me.

Weirdly enough, I still think my preferred way to dispose of my eventual cadaver is being made into a book.

I wouldn't want to own book me, but I love the idea of being a book. Not like a gruesome one where someone could tell right off, something more boring than that.

I'm surprised by anchovies lacking it but you appear to be correct, even for raw anchovies. I tried looking at a handful of other raw fish and they also have no vitamin C.

I guess that makes sense, if fish could supply vitamin C I can't imagine scurvy would've been a problem for long.

I'm not sure why the need to draw a firm distinction between the two. I'm quite focused on lyrics if they're present and in a language I understand. I'm not fussed if they aren't.

If you find the music in some way engaging, that's enough. Denigrating other music as in some way lesser than your preferred genre is odd.
