Looks like garlic chives.

speaking of alternatives, what brand do people hate that actually has a decent alternative?

I (American) just attended a strategy meeting and one of the ice breakers was "are you a green or blue bubble?".
I had no idea what it meant, similar to others that are android users. While it was a fun and engaging session, I was kind of shocked that was a thing. I'm obviously not oblivious to Apple vs Android convos and opinions, but I had never been asked that question.
Our group, BTW, was pretty evenly split. 😅

If anyone knows about evolving, it's Jeffrey Combs.
I almost kept my maiden, but now it's an additional middle name. I love my maiden name, but I changed my name to my husbo's because it has a Z in it and I was super stoked to have a Z in my signature. 😂I also like the way it sounds with my first name.
Sometimes, it's really that simple. My husband didn't care either way when we discussed it. It was just a choice I made.

They pestered me to let them outside only to do this
One of my dogs who does this finds the sunniest spots in the dirt, flops over, and I swear she just turns off.
She's a small bulldog mix, so I am duper careful with her in the heat, but also can't deny her a little sun nap.
Sometimes I just want to go out and take a sunny dirt nap with her 😅

Map of USA demonyms, did you know all of them?

Most people from where? Everyone in Indiana says Hoosier. Maybe it is a Midwest thing, but I don't know how I'd react if someone called me an Indianan. It doesn't even sound correct (admittedly, at least 20% of these sound really awkward).

I'm always a bit weirded out that Carmel makes the news more often than Indy (or so it seems). And totes agree it's a weird place.

Same. All text messages and notifications are silenced, but calls from favorites or calls that call more than once in 15 minutes come through.
DND is my life, especially as a light sleeper.

I have encountered some negativity on Lemmy recently, so I just wanted to start a laid back thread to see what are people's plans for the week-end
It's finally a weekend with no set plans, so I'm going to work on some art, change my oil, and maybe we'll have a fire since the weather is going to be nice. So a weekend with no plans turns into catching up on me time and getting to things I've put off for too long 🙃

[OC] A car ran up the curb, into my yard, and stopped in front of my living room window.
Glad your scaly friend is OK!
Am I the only one who sees an alien trapped in your curtains?!
I looked quickly and that's what the pattern looks like with the way your curtains fall 😅

What bugs the heck out of you at work but doesn't seem to bother your coworkers?

I'm not in the office frequently, but when I am, my supervisor and I just plan on getting absolutely no work done. It is soooo loud. We have cubicles and frequent teams meetings, and all that we can hear is everyone else's conversations.
Neither of us can concentrate with the constant noise interruption.

Too good to go - discounted food from stores with unsold surplus
Flashfood is another one I use in the US, not sure where all it's available. I've loved what I've received via that app so far.

Calling all refugees! *Reddugees?* What has your experience been since migrating from Reddit to Lemmy?
I was pretty new to Reddit, only about 14mo on (mostly because I got sick of husbo sending me reddit links that I finally caved and downloaded Sync). I found some great subs that introduced me to great things.
I'm excited for Lemm.ee and figuring all this out. I'm hopeful to see some of the same type of content I looked forward to from reddit.
Here's to the future 🥂

Responding to damaged keyboard tickets titled "URGENT!!!!1!!":
Reply in thread
I would be so frustrated if someone somehow manually entered a P1 for a keyboard and it wasn't changed immediately. Like your case, it would get escalated. Yes, a functioning keyboard is important to that user, but the priority level and urgency are tied to the organization. Nothing like the call or email saying a huge chunk of your org or end users are effectively down, only to find out Chad couldn't type an email.
Hopefully that person was talked to and somehow disciplined. Your other comments sound like they really should have known better.

Yeah, I don't see McCormick coming close. I've heard it's tightening, but I'm not sure Indiana going blue for governor will happen in my lifetime 😐

Tony Hinchcliffe: Backlash after comedian at Trump rally calls Puerto Rico 'island of garbage'
Reply in thread
I wasn't super shocked to see him perform at a Trump rally. We watch KT every now and then, my husbo more. He ruins his own show and I've stopped paying attention except to see if someone really funny comes up in the bucket pulls. It seemed pretty on-brand for him.

My friend bought a 22 leaf last year and from what I know, she loves it. It definitely took some getting used to! We still normally take my car on road trips, though.

about half my clicks on Jerboa or Connect end with errors?
As someone else pointed put, Connect just had an update. I was getting errors all morning and went to check, sure enough an update was available. Cured all my issues 😃

What are your favorite meals?
A really big salad with my fave veggies, spicy chikn (I normally just use Boca spicy patties and cube them), sunflower seeds, sliced almonds, other nuts I may have in the cupboard. Cliche for us, I know 😅
I also love my spicy sw pasta salad I make with a creamy black bean/Adobo Chipotle sauce. I'll make a huge batch of it and eat off it for a week!
And, my staple favorite: chickpea salad. 🤤
