I find pan frying them works best if they’re leftovers, the dough fries up better after it’s boiled and then dried out a little. It’s a very good option for sure.

Potato and cheese is classic, and honestly it hits the spot better than you might expect. Toss with butter after boiling. Keeps them from sticking and tastes great.

Commonly topped with sour cream, green onions, other onions, and/or bacon depending on what you have handy. A nice fatty sour cream with grilled yellow onions is my favourite, especially served with a nice hunk of garlic sausage.

On our trip a few years back we got some simple pastries, sandwich supplies, and snacks from Bonus to save money and I never felt like we were missing out on good food. Even as a discount grocer everything we got from there was super good.

Cheese plugs a lot of people up, especially an unholy yet tempting slab like that.

If you can see a polar bear it’s a threat.

They really aren’t like other bear species. They are an apex predator in an area where basically nothing other than another polar bear can even harm them. They see most things as food, including humans.

As a bonus, Iceland has a pretty wonky ecosystem that needs protecting as is and polar bears aren’t native to the island. They have to swim extreme distances to get there, making relocation extremely difficult and expensive, plus if they leave it be it will entirely disrupt other wildlife in the area, to say nothing of the human population.

As others have said, it sucks that it got shot, but Iceland especially has very limited options on how else to deal with it. Shoot on sight is, unfortunately, a very reasonable policy for them.

I have read some bad fucking Star Wars books in my youth. Still love them. Even Darksaber, where a random hutt builds a death star because it’s actually even easier to build planet-destroying weapons than Disney made it seem.

Shit. I used to use most of these apps when my life was more degoogled, but even now I like the gallery a hell of a lot more than other options I’ve found. Guess it’s an opportunity to see what else is out there.

Hmm, thats a bit different than what the other guy said but by and large is in line with my original concerns. Definitely wasn’t going to use any batteries in this, I’m very familiar with batteries dying in the cold, I have plenty of outdoor plugs.

Thanks for the advice, this gives me a pretty good idea of the problems and possible solutions.

Cool, I’ll make sure I check the spec sheet of whatever I end up buying but this alleviates most of my concerns. Thanks a lot!

And what about if I want the power and controller outside? I know they’ll need to be protected from moisture and such, but I’d prefer if the only thing I need to get through a wall is a wireless signal.

You can’t fool me, that’s just being a normal girl with a dope hat and sword!

Cats. Mastodon has a lot of cats. It’s great.

I follow hashtags on Mastodon sort of like how I follow communities on Lemmy, but instead of “content” I get quick thoughts from people. It’s different but, as someone who also didn’t use Twitter, it’s nice to have a space where the barrier to engagement is a bit lower; you need a thought, not a link or discussion, and sometimes that’s enough to prompt engagement.

They sort of have watches categorized by sport/purpose if you know why you want a watch, but most of them do basically the same stuff and the main differences are battery life, appearance/build, and whether it has GPS.

I wanted something I could use to navigate and track multi-day backcountry hikes, so I got a Fenix. My wife wanted to go for a run without bringing her phone with her, so I got her a forerunner. There are lots of options, but even the cheapest watch is good enough if you just want to track steps and basic activities.
