Sorry, no picture. I don't think I've ever thought of posting before at least a third through my glass, and tonight there was only an inch left.

This maybe deserves a better name, but this is less a recipe that a general thing I do a few times every summer.

Preparation: Next time you have a watermelon cut up a bunch of it and throw it into a zip lock bag and throw into the freezer.

For 2: Throw enough watermelon cubes into a blender to make enough for two tall glasses. Less than half full? Sorry, I just eyeball this, but really the proportions aren't critical, and I always adjust to taste anyway.

Add 3 ounces of gin 1 ounce of cocchi americano Juice of 1 and a half limes (maybe start with 1 and adjust to taste?) A handful of fresh mint leaves A few splashes of orange bitters (I like Regan's) Blend it up and enjoy!

I tend to vary this, but this is about my default. I might use rum. I might use Campari instead of cocchi americano or half/half. I might lighten it up with some tonic water or some other fizzy thing that's on hand.

Fresh watermellon and some ice cubes works in a pinch, but really the frozen watermelon is great to have in the freezer, can be used in other drinks, and lasts well (what I used tonight is from last summer).

Those who don't like aquavit, like my wife, may like this.

1.5 oz aquavit

.5 oz dry vermouth

.5 oz China China or some other Amer Picon substitute

6-8 mint leaves

A couple dashes of creole bitters (or Pechaud's)

Shake on ice, Strain into a coupe (If you use one of those cocktail strainers that is kind of a spring, not a mesh, you get little fragments of mint in the drink. I consider this a feature, not a bug)

(My own recipe)

Could we add a rule to this community against posts that are clearly just using the form of a question for proselytizing?

Searching F-droid today for 'vpn', something called URNetwork came up, touting itself as better then a VPN, and sounding frankly too good to be true. Duckduckgo searches are finding very little not either going to them (ur.io, or their github, etc) or some site called Product Hunt that I've never come across before. Nothing useful or that gives me confidence even that this isn't a scam.

Does anyone know anything about this product?

So is this Thunder itself or some app it is deferring to whose config I should look at?

Basically videos start out dim for a few seconds until the video controls fade out. This means the first few seconds of every video are basically unwatchable, and with short videos this is all or most of the video. For example https://lemmy.world/post/17884719

Of the many Lemmy clients I've tried, Thunder is the one I like the best, but the one place I have nits is the creating a comment experience.

After typing the comment you have close you keyboard, to have any hope of the create button being visible (if your comment is really short) and then scroll all the way back up to the top. Isn't the bottom the obviously better place for this button?

Even worse, if in trying to scroll the screen, you accidentally hit the little horizontal bar at the top, you just lose your comment.

Finally, it seems to always lose my place in the thread and put me back at the top after entering a comment.
