I voted early a few days ago!

Forgive my sleep deprived face and weird-ass glasses, I’m not normally awake during the day and the glasses help with my sleep disorder 😅

If you see this feel free to post your voting pictures or “I voted” stickers, seeing them makes me happy!

You’re so very welcome 😊

Have a good one my friend!

Bigtime

is an awesome newer car and motorcycle channel, they split off from donut to go do their own creative stuff after donut go bought by a big soulless media company

Fortnine

is an amazing motorcycle youtube channel with absurd production quality and directing often worthy of full length documentaries

Berm peak

is a super well produced mountain biking and bikes channel

Lab Muffin Beauty Science

If you’re into science based skincare I absolutely adore her, she has a chemistry PhD and a specialization in cosmetic chemistry. She spends a lot of time debunking baseless skincare marketing which I don’t really need since everything I know about skincare I learned from her and various other science focused youtubers, but I absolutely adore her informative videos that are guides to various aspects of skincare, or an exploration of how to competently interpret research

Adam savage’s Tested

channel is a lot of fun if you like maker content, he’s just as energetic and charismatic of a character as he was back on Mythbusters

Hybrid calisthenics

is a wonderful exercise fitness and wellness channel where the guy running it is just an earnest, kind, compassionate human being who offers advice that meets people where they are and helps them progress, regardless of their current ability level. He went viral a while back for a video talking about how you can do exercise at any level, even if you’ve literally never done a pushup in your life, where he demonstrates modified versions of bodyweight exercises that make them more accessible, or even more difficult so that people can work their way up to their goals from any starting point. People fell in love with his personality and attitude of compassion.

My absolute favorites for cooking are:

Adam Ragusea

does an amazing job of making recipes realistic and approachable for home cooking, and his background as a journalist results in incredibly high quality research videos that are unbelievably informative

internet shaquille

unprotentious while focusing on technique, has a fantastic delivery style, it’s hard to describe exactly what makes him special, but the videos are phenomenal and he often gives great life advice

J Kenji Lopez alt

the goat. Super knowledgable, especially regarding the science of cooking, and is a well respected name in recipe development. His videos are him with a gopro camera strapped to his head while he prepares the food and talks about it’s origin, how he likes to make it, etc. Its like having an expert demonstrate for you in their home kitchen while casually chatting about all the knowledge they have to share about a given recipe

Chinese cooking demystified

the absolute best source for traditional chineese cooking, and food history lessons to boot. I love their delivery style, and their videos always give a ton of historical and cultural context and are a joy to watch)

Lemme know if you’d like more food youtubers, these are my absolute faves though, and all offer very different perspectives on food (sometimes disagreeing with eachother) while usually teaching at least as much about technique, how to approach cooking, and their own personal philosophy when developing recipes as they do the specific recipe itself.

Brian David Gilbert

makes a wide range of bizarre nonsense and I adore him. Comedy sketches, horror short film kinda stuff, incomprehensible fever-dreams, a guide to the united states health insurance mess that somehow manages to be as funny as it is depressing, goofy music, unironically wonderfull music, recipies. He used to make polygon’s unhinged video series called unraveled, his personal channel is even better and even more unhinged

I love the use of color and creative framing!

God, I love technical illustrations.

Beautiful piece, thanks for sharing op

I’ve never included it, but I’ve usually also made it from a box. Gumbo I made from scratch with a friend at one point, and I did make jambalaya from scratch once, but I don’t think I remember it turning out super well

From what I can see looking around online it seems to be a common inclusion, and Cajun cooking is generally heavily spiced, so I’d give it a shot 🤷‍♂️

We learned things a long those lines a couple times when I was in highschool not that long ago, but I also went to a weird highschool so I’m not sure how much that generalizes

Lemm.ee wasn’t a good fit for me previously because they federate with everyone and there used to be instances that just spammed redit cross-posts that got no engagement, but I think last I looked at that account it didn’t seem to be an issue anymore.

Shit just works is one I was considering. And I see dbzer0 regularly and meant to go take a look at that instance

This is a really helpful resource you might appreciate: https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances

At a glance I don’t see lemm.ee anymore so they may no longer be allowing new account creation

Thats fair. A na miata is basically my dream car, I hope to someday daily one in spite of being from the 90s 😅

Harris is unusually vocal about her love of Venn diagrams?

I mean, a lot of cars have a genuinely phenomenal life span, if you don’t mind getting something that isn’t shiny and new you can probably get like a 2012 Toyota or Honda and drive it till the wheels fall off. My dream car is from the 90s and people still generally regard them as fairly reliable

Eventually it’ll be an issue, but that does leave a lot of time for nerds and hackers to find a way to gut networking stuff while telling the car it’s still intact. Dunno if we’ll ever see an open source car OS compatible with the systems in major manufacturer’s vehicles, but privacy workarounds feel like they could be pretty realistic

Ah gotcha, I wasnt familiar with them so I figured that might just be op

Thanks for the link!

I really enjoy the greens and reds!

Awww, thats genuinely really lovely, I’m so pleased to hear it’s gone really well for them

Thank you for proving the superiority of the objectively best candies, skittles, sour patch kids, starbursts, and reece’s 😌

I fucking love this image, is this your art? The color choices are really fun

Yep, that’ll certainly make for a fucking horrible day :(

You’re very welcome, take care of yourself, and I’m wishing you the best with processing the grief, having to put a pet down is a brutal place to find one’s self 🫂

God damn, that’s a REALLY good optical illusion 😅

Gotcha. Yeah I choose to use Mastodon, I’d much rather support the open community built option than the option built by a company with a profit motive, I just try to stay in the loop about stuff

Thanks for the answer :)

🫂

Life is a fucking dick
