davidholdeman··on Tomato nostalgia as I relive my Croatian island childhood
As someone who lives 30 minutes from Garden City, KS and butchers their own beef and pork, I have some notes.

1. There is a big difference in how between how packing plants process beef and how small butcher shops do it. Carefully processed beef that's not aged is better than aged stuff from the packing plant, especially ground beef. The beef that jklinger410 ate was probably both aged and carefully processed.

2. Most people who are used to grain-fed beef do not like grass-fed beef. It's an acquired taste, though I can definitely imagine how someone who is used to it would not like grain-fed beef at all.

davidholdeman··on VoWiFi
I've been using SIP on my Android phone for a couple of months now, and QoS hasn't been an issue at all. I'm using Voip.ms so I can have SMS and MMS. There's a SMS app but it doesn't support MMS; MMS messages are emailed to me and I just log on the Voip.ms portal and message there. I use Linphone as the client, and Strongswan for VPN.

I got "reconnaisance", which is how I spelled reconnaissance once in a spelling bee.
davidholdeman··on Investigators say they've finally identified the Zodiac Killer
I don't know whether your experience is similar to mine, but I can't visualize faces at all, even of someone I have just been looking at. I have no issues recognizing people or visualizing things other than faces, so neither aphantasia nor prosopagnosia match.

When I play this game, I click the N+1th link if I have already visited the Nth link.

davidholdeman··on Intrinsic, a new Alphabet company
Same here. One detent of the scroll wheel and it's 2/3 of the way down the page. I tried disabling smooth scrolling, but that didn't fix it. Note that we're talking about the home page, x.company, not the page linked.
davidholdeman··on This Cat Does Not Exist
On one reload, I got Grumpy Cat. The background was different from any image I can find in a quick image search, but the cat was definitely Grumpy Cat. Does that make the domain name a lie?
