what does the term “blasting rope” mean? (im not a native english speaker)

Ejaculating

When a man ejaculates it can have the appearance of a rope or string, especially if it is the result of a powerful orgasm.

KillerTofu,

Some funky junk spitting facts instead of ropes.

I don’t remember saying I wasn’t blasting rope

bdonvr, (edited )

It’s also definitely not something you’ll ever hear.

From a Google search I think this post made it up anyway. Most results are this post, Urban dictionary only added it in 2018.

I mean I know “ropes” could be used to mean that. But “blasting ropes” specifically isn’t really a thing.

In any case it’s very uncommon.

In any case it’s very uncommon.

Maybe in your house 😏

Anything is a thing, everything is made up, and you’re only going to be disappointed trying to moderate others!

xpinchx,

I heard of “throwing rope” as far back as 2010.

As a native speaker, it isn’t any particular phrase that I’ve ever heard before. Therefore it’s a sex thing

Ambiorickx,

I assume that anything in slang or music that I don’t understand is either about sex or drugs.

yeah I don't get the screencaptures. feels like some sort of promotion when I see one in the feed.

StereoTrespasser, in Email clients

I know it’s hip to bash all things Microsoft, but Outlook is my life at work. It’s absolutely fine if you’re not predisposed to hating things.

Subverb,

I do hate the new web based experience though. The executable client is very good.

royalbarnacle,

Outlook is fine, but you can tell there is no real competition and they just haven’t really bothered putting any effort into it for years.

tweeks,

It’s better than the native Mail app by Apple.

ManOMorphos,

I’ve had connection issues and app instability a bit often, especially with the iOS version. Part of it might be our email server but I’m finding issues I never have with Google or even Yahoo clients. It’s not awful, but there are better and cheaper options at enterprise level.

Paddzr,

Yup. So is edge and teams with 365.

But most of these people haven’t got a clue what they’re talking about. The other has never worked in an office environment.

Even fewer yet, had the displeasure of working with g suite.

Sigh_Bafanada,

Yeah I don’t mind Outlook, I also use it for work and it does the job just fine.

And it has folders. I still don’t like Gmail’s “labels”

Halosheep,

I also work almost exclusively in outlook (and ERP programs) but honestly Outlook is just bad at so many things, especially when working with the volume of emails we do. So many crashes, so many QOL functions that just don’t exist, so many minor issues that a 2 trillion dollar company should be able to fix.

droans,

I’ve got no problem with it, especially after I created some macros to tag and sort my emails.

Not Oracle Cloud ERP/EPM though. Those are the worst programs I have to use on a daily basis. For whatever godforsaken reason, the Smart View extensions for the Office apps are all connected to each other so if you’re running some SV function in Excel, Outlook will freeze up.

No worries, you can just disable the plugins in the other apps, right? Wrong. The plugins automatically re-enable each other.

i just had one that showed up and started asking to to a “sound of freedom” watch party after playing one game…

BirdyBoogleBop, in I value this meme at eleventy billion and won't take a cent less

No they aren’t NFTs are recipts. That is all they are. They can have a connection to images or physical goods but they only proove that you bought a recipt and not actual ownership.

fosho,

so a deed to a house only proves that you bought a piece of paper, right?

ImFresh3x, (edited )

No a deed to a house has legal meaning. So it’s not at all like a deed to a house.

BirdyBoogleBop,

Sort of except it means nothing. It’s like having a deed with absolutely no legal weight.

If I buy a microwave and try and return it with only the receipt they won’t give me a refund because I only bought the receipt. I could sell the receipt, sure it says you bought it but I am keeping the microwave.

Tnaeriv,

If the deed was scribbled with crayons by a hobo and the house would be imaginary. That would be comparable to NFTs.

Aren’t they from Moldova?

BurnedOliveTree,

Well, yes, but aren’t they different countries only because of Russia?

ZariZari, (edited )

No! But kind of yes.

We have Moldova of Moldova (because Russia) and Moldova of Romania because Romania.

MargotRobbie, in Can you describe Lemmy in one picture?

Accidentally become the main character not just in every single movie I’m in, but on social media this time.

Why does this keep happening to me?

(and still no Oscar. Sigh.)

Minarble,

Thank you for gracing us with your presence m’lady it is truly an honour.

Let this moment serve as inspiration to Lemmys every where.

If you post it She may come. You cannot demand it but she may grant it. She moves in ways unseen. Beans.

LoamImprovement,

Well, for what it’s worth, we’re happy you’re here, not just as the topic of discourse, but as a contributing member too. I just hope we can hold onto the sense of community that gets lost in the wash when a user base hits that certain threshold. The last few months I spent on Reddit were kind of awful, even before the blackout, to the point that I started physically feeling way better after I nuked my old account.

Honestly I’m kind of hoping the ability to disassociate from instances is the secret sauce. I feel like the Beehaw admins have been doing a good job decoupling from federations that get a bit too ick - I certainly see way less negativity here than there.

JJROKCZ, in Help! My family's starving and I only know how to play 1947 West Siberia Economic simulator...

Hey I love those niche job and city/country management simulators

There’s one that’s about managing a city in Soviet Russia in EA rn I was watching a streamer called Sips play recently and it looks cool

hydroptic,

Whaa, that sounds like an interesting premise at least. Whats the name of the game?

JJROKCZ,

Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic

Avnar,

Fuck you. Now I wana play that. And I dont have time

hydroptic,

Nice, thanks. What’s your impression of it?

tryptaminev,

As someone who dabbled a bit with it about two years ago:

It is extremely detailed. It goes to the level that you can manage the construction of new buildings by allocating the right ressources and machines to the construction site in the correct order. Of course you also have to plan your bus lines, train signal controls, electrical grid and so on in detail.

With that much detail it is also quite ressource hungry, so i had to stop as my towns started to lag at about 5.000 inhabitants.

Bonus points if you have some cultural connection to the eastern block. I recognized many things, from prefab buildings, over cars and trains even up to the lamp posts from my country.

arken,

Sounds exactly like something I want to watch someone else play but never would enjoy playing myself. Have to check it out.

hydroptic, (edited )

Ah nice, thanks. Might not be a good game for my poor Steam Deck then, it’s a terrific system but a CPU & GPU powerhouse it ain’t.

I have a weird “mixed” connection to the eastern block. I’m Finnish but in my 40’s, so my childhood’s Finland was in some ways a hybrid between a “fully capitalist” market economy and some more socialist features (and not just social democracy) thanks to us having to walk a bit of a tightrope with the Soviets so we could stay independent.

But eg. a surprising amount of the “Socialist cube” concrete houses you see especially in the former East Germany, but also in some other parts of the Eastern Bloc, were actully made from Finnish concrete elements. We also built a zillion of them with the same ideology behind it: functional / brutalist rather than anything fancy, which means they were affordable for everyone and cheap to build. I’ve lived a huge chunk of my life in some Socialist cube or another

I haven’t really used an e-mail client since I got my hotmail account. Then later went to gmail.

Are there any advantages over using a web interface?
