    Ahhh, haha. That youtuber is a financial one, and given the conversation... Thought maybe you were a fan. He's interesting, though not someone I'd take too seriously!

    For sure, the budgeting aspect is the most important part to me. It lets me pre-categorize my spending and re-allocate easily if something comes up and I either have to pull some fun money over or have a bill come out cheaper than estimated. It lets me know at a glance that, yes or no, I can do that thing.

    As an aside, is your username based on the YouTuber?

    I've grown peppers in pots before with the intent to overwinter them. I would just caution that pests left on the plants will run rampant indoors, so you have to be very thorough with cleaning them off. Recommendations are to like cut off the foliage and rinse off the rootball. Here's an example of my first attempt to overwinter my peppers. To be fair, this was the winter my daughter was born, so maybe I could have saved the plants if I got to them sooner, but it's a tale of caution.

    I've used it to play noggin on the TV for my kid. It's crazy to me that outside of having an apple tv, there's no good way to stream it. Same for an exercise app my wife subscribes to. It's easier to use it streaming to the TV, so I grabbed an apk and put it on windows. Amazon's app store is available which helps a lot of your looking for an app

    I wonder if it would be possible to turn the site into a PWA? It's what my company did when we began transitioning into a mobile wing of the company. You have to add a service worker (ngsw) and a manifest file and then the site can be "installed" with a more clean full screen layout like an app. If it were a PWA, you can run it through a program called bubble wrap to turn the website into a TWA, essentially an app running a browser that looks native, and that can go into the app store as a short term solution

    I'd be surprised if this was all there was too it. Anecdotally, I work as an iOS/android/web dev and our upper management has 100% higher priorities related to iOS. Our android solution is very middling but our iOS one is decent (the company is really web focused so that's where most of the dev is). We aren't selling anything through the app, it's just a portal for using our product, so I dunno

    I'm like 70 hours into Zelda totk and have started (not finished) exactly half the available side adventures - the ones with story attached. The game is great, but perhaps a tad too massive. I really want to finish in time for FF16 this weekend, but I feel like that's a pipe dream

    I've done that ice cream before! I did not expect to see that referenced lol. I think it was interesting and it definitely all got eaten, but I haven't felt a need to remake it. For one, I found it slightly icy, which could be partially my fault since it was one of the first ice creams I tried to make. Definitely worth the experience though

    As someone who is not a vegetarian, I really love and have been returning to The Weekday Vegetarians. The roasted chickpeas and the chickpea Cesar salad they go in are both delicious. I'm also super into Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream and Salt & Straw Ice Cream Cookbook for ice cream!
