JoumanaKayrouz, in What's your favorite restaurant chain?
@JoumanaKayrouz@lemmy.world avatar

BD’s Mongolian BBQ. I’m not even sure they are around anymore though.

Im14abeer,

There’s still some around, but not nearly as many as there were. The one local to me closed and the nearest remaining one is like 20 miles away.

There’s one near me. All the others are on the opposite side of Detroit from me. (1hr+ drive away.)

I fucking love them too. Real life mini-game of how much shit can I stuff and pile into a bowl.

I think there’s one in Sterling Heights on M-59 still.

That’s the one near me.

OwenEverbinde, in Be honest, do you still use reddit?
@OwenEverbinde@reddthat.com avatar

Like a lot of people are saying, if reddit comes up in a search result, I’m clicking it. You know that’s your best shot at finding the answer you’re looking for.

But opening the app? Scrolling and socializing? I checked my comment history just now, and since joining Lemmy on July 1st, I have commented 5 reddit comments; 1 of them was a reply to someone replying to me. 4 of them were specifically about ActivityPub social networks.

In that same thirteen days, I left 33 comments on Lemmy.

nabax, in What series did you rewatch most often?

The Black Adder. Seen it at least 5 or 6 times. Twice on TV when I was a kid.

Just writing this made me want to watch it again!

Viking_Hippie, in During travel, what can I prepare beforehand as meal, which can be eaten without access to fire or microwave?

fire or microwave

Quite disparate levels of technology you’ve got there! When defending yourself against an attacker, are your options flint spear or laser pistol?

Because if so, you might enjoy Fallout 2 😉

EggsCurrently, in During travel, what can I prepare beforehand as meal, which can be eaten without access to fire or microwave?

Beans, lentils and rice are highly nutritious, can all be eaten cold or at room temperature and won’t spoil if you make them the day before and keep them in a closed Tupperware.

nigelinux,

Great suggestions! Beans and such would be great for dietery fibre.

fritz, in Is it worth to read Star Wars novels?

I very highly recommend the republic commando series by Karen Traviss. It is so well written and gives a lot of context to clones in general and commandos. Honestly some of my favorite books ever. The game is fantastic too of course.

Revolutionary_Pi, in What movie did you rewatch most often?

Definitely the Avatar movie, I mean the blue ones not TLA. I watched it when it came out, watched it several times with my family and friends. Lastly I watched it at IMAX, was a fantastic experience. Sadly second movie did not live up to my expectations.

I don’t have any good suggestions, but I have two questions that might be relevant to you or to other people who do have ideas.

  • Will you be visiting a grocery store in Iceland to get your ingredients? Or will you be packing them in your luggage on the flight over?
  • If they are in your luggage, will there be any customs tomfoolery if you’re bringing lots of food with you? (I have never flown with lots of food in my luggage; I have no idea if this is even a concern, but wanted to bring the question up in case it is.)
nigelinux,

I will bring some food like nuts and some will be brought in grocery storea/supermarkets there.

What do you mean by customs tomfoolery?

sturlabragason,

I don’t think he is talking about importing it. 😅

You’re not allowed to for a bunch of stuff anyway.

IonAddis,
@IonAddis@lemmy.world avatar

It doesn’t seem likely–but you never know, which is why I thought raising the question might be useful. As you said, you’re not allowed to import lots of stuff…which, if you poured all your food money into food you’re bringing with you, would be devastating to find out at the last moment. Esp. if you were on a tight budget to begin with.

stealth_cookies,

Generally flying with lots of food into a foreign country is a big no no. Packaged snacks are fine but anything that could be considered an agricultural product should be avoided.

szdt94, in In which game did you spend the most hours?

Dota 2. 7882 hrs

Sippa_Turnipsi,

6331 hours here. Maybe one day I will be good in that game.

You can get prepackaged meals that you can eat after submerging the packet in hot water for a few minutes. Hot water is easily available in most place, even more so if you carry a flask.

Protein bars are filling and quite nice to eat. Dried fruits like apricots or dates are also a nice calorie rich option. Bread and jam/pb are the usual travel staples. Milk powder and cornflakes/cereal is also an option, but not one of my favourites.

You can also carry out forms of bread like pretzels, bagels or focaccia which will last for a few days or even more.

Don’t forget that experiencing local food is part of any travel experience :) you’re not going to travel to Iceland to just eat in the future. So it might be a good idea to explore local supermarkets for some local fruits, bread, snacks and so on. Hopefully some Icelandic person will chime in with more suggestions.

nigelinux,

I love bread! Though my wife, not so much. We do plan to go to supermarket, thanks for suggestions!

Parsnip8904,
@Parsnip8904@beehaw.org avatar

Hope you have a good trip :) I know the struggle! I’m a vegetarian and often it’s very hard for me to find dishes I can eat in many countries. I have shifted towards renting Airbnbs with kitchen and making rice or pasta with local veggies for most of my meals for this reason.

Devi, in During travel, what can I prepare beforehand as meal, which can be eaten without access to fire or microwave?

Sandwiches? I did sandwiches and snacks.

nigelinux,

Ah yes, how did I forget sandwiches when I type bread? And I love sandwiches too. Thanks!

confetti_8tVST5,

Yeah was bout to say this too haha. Seems like the best choice just curious how long they’ll be on the trip for

berkat, in What's your favorite third-party app that integrates beautifully design-wise with your native iOS/Android apps?

The best was defintely Apollo. Memmy seems to be trying to push the native iOS UI forward, but it’s early days for that app.

AnaGram, in Be honest, do you still use reddit?

I’ve popped over a couple times too see what floats to the top of all (or whatever it is that’s displayed when you don’t log in), and a couple more times when I did a search and Reddit’s answers were part of the results set. But I honestly can’t be missing that much since every other soc media site I look at has at least half of their threads linking back to something that originated on Reddit.

Hobovision, in Which is the most satisfying IO connector system, in your opinion?
@Hobovision@kbin.social avatar

I'm a sucker for any connector that has a nice solid spring load mechanism that pops into place when properly connected. It should sound like a movie sound effect of a gun being reloaded.

I've also used some really nice quick release steering wheels, like on race cars or racing sims, where they have a spline connector with a tight fit and a good spring load.

nickajeglin,

You ever used a Deutsch Weatherpak connector? We use them on mobile equipment. They have a spring loaded face seal then a solid lever lock that is plastic but substantial enough that it’s usable. They’re pretty good wire to wire connectors. I’ll take anything with a twist lock though, BNC etc.
