*banned 4 MarkDown love* @design_RG@qoto.org

@karansharma Very important theme, and Earth Day is coming - I will be glad when we get there, as it will mark Spring Equinox and my favourite season of the year starting.

Welcome to Qoto, Karan, I hadn't see you here yet. Hope you enjoy the instance and fediverse; ask any questions if needed.

@esperera_98

Tu es la mas linda, CL. Te pareces com mi hija en verdad. :wink:

@Massick

Ay, Jesus... 😜

@adbenitez @freemo

@Leodlion ...and it worked. We hear you, and it's out in the entire fediverse now.

Welcome onboard, Leodlion. Enjoy your stay, ask any question if needed. 😉

@freemo
I thnk he's asking due to the influx of new people and the wave of new posting appearing on the Local feed.

Really nice to see a lively instance.

@johnlitt

@raining_night @shibaprasad Both of those large size Primes are very neat each in it's own way. Nice, TY, fellas.

@Mohdkalam Hello, Mohd, welcome to Qoto Airlines.

We hope you enjoy your stay with us. Have a good day! 🌄

@togs Our brains are massively parallel computing structures, capable of feats still unmatched by current electronic computer systems.

However, it does run at a slow speed compared to them.

Not much we can do, but maybe try to not clutter our attention with insignificant stuff, much of which is out there to distract people intentionally.

Focus, grasshopper.

@mngrif I had one follower added yesterday, and when visiting his/her profile to consider a courtesy follow back no toots at all in the account. 😠

Blocked that one, the first time I had seen such a thing.

@chikara Yes, that is interesting, Chikara.

Maybe you could prepare and post an article about it? Thank you!

@chikara

Another beautiful post, thank you. I enjoyed reading the fragments of the song lyrics around the diagram. It is a poetic and mournful ballad, I like it.

Your reference to the Japanese concept you mentioned brought to my mind another one, which I admired since first encountering a reference to it. Wabi-sabi.

"In traditional Japanese aesthetics, wabi-sabi (侘寂) is a world view centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection.[2] The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete".[3] It is a concept derived from the Buddhist teaching of the three marks of existence (三法印 sanbōin), specifically impermanence (無常 mujō), suffering (苦 ku) and emptiness or absence of self-nature (空 kū).

Characteristics of the wabi-sabi aesthetic include asymmetry, roughness, simplicity, economy, austerity, modesty, intimacy, and appreciation of the ingenuous integrity of natural objects and processes. "

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wabi-sabi

I found it profound. Accepting imperfection and impermanence can reduce our stress and struggle. A pacified mind might perceive other insights, instead of seeking unattainable perfection.

@togs Remembered to ask ,what kind of rice did you use? I really like italian Arborio rice, it makes a creamy, tasty rice that is yummy even without many other enhancements.

Sometimes I let it cook and just before it dries up, on my electric rice cooker, I drop in some frozen green peas, stir it, cover and let it finish.

Very simple and tasting, poor man's Risotto on my limited repertoire.

Asparagus could work well too?

@Sphinx
That is a good question, I see more experienced users consistently doing that, and try to do the same myself. Like on this reply.

Harder when there are more people mentioned, and specially when the person you meant to reply to is at the very end of the list.

That would require a cut / past operation on the toot editor, and takes a bit of time, so sometimes I just leave it the way it is if there's lots of posts to reply to.

@freemo

@Iambharani @freemo @users @raining_night
That is a nice video, memories, glad tyou still have it around.

Had a good chuckle with the little guy insisting on going thru that interesting mud puddle. Reminded me of a story from a beloved children's books author here in Canada, called Robert Munch.

Called "Mud puddle jump on me."

@raining_night Understood, but it's possible to link to a Netflix film page even if the person is not a subscriber; it will display the film info, but not play it.

I am always looking for a link with supplementary information for my posts, or for someone else's when I am curious and don't know much about what their post mentions.

Quick and easy - mark the text in question with the trackpad, right click, search on Bing and find a good article/link to post back in the thread.

One of my habits, I hope it adds value to the post and helps others find more info.

@Rovine @johnlitt Yes, we all can relate and are glad you see things in a different, more positive light John.

Well done! All the best for you.

@adbenitez @freemo @esperera_98 @Massick Sí, con certeza. Esas morenas son encantadoras!

@susi123 Hello, back at home and resuming duties. Good evening, morning for our South Asia friends! 🌄
