There was something about the shape and color of the old wings that always made me thing there was an alert dot, like they didn’t fit in. I really like the hexagon background, colors, and wings, in the new logo.

But I think the shape of the bee itself could be improved; I’d round bottom instead of having a stinger point. And if the thing on the top is a crown I think it should be a different color, otherwise I just have no idea what that thing on top is, maybe I just don’t know enough about bee anatomy?

Thanks for the update and hope you have less trouble in the future! Don’t worry about the downtime I really appreciate that here it’s serving a clear purpose unlike Twitter lol

You should make another prediction now for what social networks will be like in another 7 years

Great find! Best I’ve done was find a perfectly good table next to the dumpster lol

I have a wheat allergy so I eat a lot of rice. I wanted the best rice cooker and got one from Zojirushi that uses a microcontroller with fuzzy logic to sense and compensate for if there is slightly too much or too little water. It does take noticeably longer for it to cook the rice, but it comes out perfect every time. It also has different modes for white rice, brown rice, semibrown rice, and rice porridge. The white rice setting is also perfect for quinoa, although for quinoa the water ratio is 1:2 instead of following the marked lines on the pot.

For rice porridge: I’ll season with garlic salt and ginger, and cook it with onion and black mushroom. Serve with lime and jalopeno.

For quinoa: I like to substitute 25% of the quinoa with millet, and cook it with Consommé, golden flax seed, and lemon.

For brown rice: diced or shredded carrot works really well since the brown rice cooks for longer. I’ll usually season with garlic salt, ginger, cumin, and curry powder.

For white rice: it normally has to be plain to add to something else like curry or a stir-fry, but my favorite white rice dish is cooking it with lots of bok choi, season with salt, fresh ginger, white pepper, sesame oil.
