It’s colloquial and you’ll hear it when people talk about making food. Like if you’re making a sandwich. You put mayo on the bread, then you put the cheese, then you add meat and lettuce or whatever.

It’s kind of like “on” is implied and you don’t bother to say it. I just mentioned it, so I don’t need to say it again. That’s how it feels to me anyway.

I could see myself saying “First you put mayo, then you put cheese.” That would be like if someone was standing next to me, watching me make the sandwich. They can see exactly where I’m putting things. But normally you do want to specify where you’re putting something.

I checked just now and it’s normal for me. I don’t know if the instance matters, but I’m on mastodon.social.

Browsing Lemmy and kbin. There’s lots of interesting stuff when you sort by new. Today’s unexpected find was banjo music with duck sounds.

Once in a while, I try my hand at translating.

Thanks!

Any favorites that you would recommend off the top of your head? I’m open to any kind of food.

I look for good food and things to see and do that are unique to the area.

New Orleans, for example. The French Quarter is interesting. I like the food, art, and street music. But it’s also nice to see the bayous. Lake Pontchartrain. Plantations and oak trees. Trucks full of sugar cane driving down the road. People fishing in lawn chairs at the side of the road.

Or taking a tour of a destroyer in July. Sunny, 95 degrees, and like 115% humidity. Those nice thick metal walls absorb it all. AC in only one corner of the ship. That sweet-ass Southern iced tea feels just right after that. Gator meat isn’t bad either.

Now, more than a decade after Sylvia’s death, their efforts have landed the Wildensteins before France’s highest court. The evidence she and Dumont Beghi brought forth has persuaded prosecutors that the Wildensteins are a criminal enterprise, responsible for operating, as a prosecutor for the state once put it, “the longest and the most sophisticated tax fraud” in modern French history.

A trial this September will determine if the family and their associates owe a gargantuan tax bill. The last time prosecutors went after the Wildensteins, several years ago, they sought €866 million — €616 million in back taxes and a €250 million fine, as well as jail time for Guy. The consequences could do more than topple the family’s art empire. The case has provided an unusual view of how the ultrawealthy use the art market to evade taxes, and sometimes worse. Agents raiding Wildenstein vaults have turned up artworks long reported as missing, which fueled speculation that the family may have owned Nazi-looted or otherwise stolen art, and spurred a number of other lawsuits against the family in recent years. Financial distortions have saved the family hundreds of millions of dollars, prosecutors allege, but their treatment of Sylvia could cost them far more — and perhaps lead to the unraveling of their dynasty.

What a story. It’s a long read, but fascinating.

I looked through the Laws of LT and didn’t see any mention of a license or restrictions on how people can use the translations that are posted. They don’t allow posting other people’s translations without credit. That’s the closest thing I saw. I checked the FAQ too.

If you do a search for “creative commons” site:lyricstranslate.com, you’ll see some people who add a note that their translation is licensed under Creative Commons. Not everyone does that.

I have to say, LyricsTranslate is the best site I’ve found for song translations. It actually HAS translations, unlike a lot of other sites that show up in the Google results but don’t actually have anything. The quality is usually good, plus it lets you read both versions side by side. I always get happy to find translations there, especially from Romanian to English. Those are pretty rare. So if you’ve posted there already…thank you!

Sure does! !standardissuecat@lemmy.world

Are they soft? Do they make cute noises? Would love to pet one if I could. Looks like this guy really liked the attention.

I use an exfoliating washcloth like this. It lathers really well. Scrubs off the dead skin and it’s long so you can scratch your back. It air dries fast.

Oh yeah, that would be good. This is making me hungry.

That’s going straight on my list of things to try. I love the idea of crunchy potatoes with the soft meat.

Looks like you used whole cloves of garlic, too. And maybe roasted some of it? I’ll be stealing that idea too.

Looks like Shiro, aka basketcat.

Looks good. Do you use onion, garlic, or celery too? As far as spices…my guess would be bay leaf and pepper, at a minimum. Anything else?

I might have to give this a try. Looks pretty easy. Probably just brown the sausage, saute the veggies for a few minutes, add a little stock/broth, and cook until the veggies are done.
