    @ShaulaEvans This folding magnifying glass. It's compact and invaluable when you need to ready tiny text at the limit of your unaided sight. Especially with poor lighting, in a hurry, or under stress.

    @TazPoltorak @Bfordham some toy machines cheat by only being able to make a chain stitch instead of the lockstitch used by modern¹ machines: those aren't really sewing machines, they can't be used to follow instructions designed for sewing machines and I'd recommend staying away from them even as a “starting” machine, because they really aren't one.the main issue being that the chain stitch unravels, and using it to make functional garments will require a lot more handsewing and different techniques that those used today.as the first sewing machine ever built, they were time saver when sewing meters and meters of ruffles on a 1850s dress, when you were used to sew 1840s dresses by hand, but really, sewing machine technology has moved on :)¹ i.e. since the second half of the 19th century :D

    @viresh @TheVoidTLMB oh interesting, in this case hand-editing the exolve file manually might be even easier.For accented letter, which encoding should I go for? UTF-8 or Latin-1?

    @mynameistillian the first time or two I get my hands on them each season I just wash them, put them in the oven at 180°C and cook them until they are soft when poked with a fork, and then eat them as is, enjoying the taste I had missed for the rest of the year.this last time I had a bit of a leftover, and I've cut one of the baked sweet potatoes in cubes, dropped them in hot dashi (kombu-only) stock with a bit of wakame, heated the think for a couple of minutes more and then added miso, and I think it was even better than my usual quick miso soup with regular potatoes and wakame (they were the white variety of sweet potatoes, not the orange one)
