Sounds like capitalism

What an amazing article. I had to look up the author, what a great background. I daresay I undergrasp and will need to followup.

Thanks for sharing ❤️

Not sure if you are being facetious, but Bill Watterson never endorsed those stickers and as far as I know even tried to stop them at one point.

Nothing about this looks safe ☠️ but I guess it was really about the load, not about the velocity.

I can't give you European recommendations, but as someone who has had pant challenges, I can make those. Consider evaluating why they are failing. Are the rips and tears in the fabric panels? You may be able to find pants that are reinforced in those areas or are of a more durable fabric. You could also consider repair. If the rips and tears are at seams, maybe you need extra stitching. This can also be repaired but isn't always cost effective. Also consider fit - if they don't for appropriately, this also can lead to increased wear.

Good luck! Sorry if I come off as a lecture and you know all these things.

It's an interesting stage in development, too: bald on top, but still has the color. Maybe they're only a grumpy scientist?

This won't be helpful, but reading this thread makes me think about my angelfire website from, idk, 1998? I had that and a HTML 4.0 bible. Good times. Deleted times 😑

I read that the fediverse equivalent to bandcamp is using a webring, maybe there is or will be a fediverse hosting ecosystem?

What is good to eat when you have no appetite?

I am super sick right now and haven’t eaten much in a few days. It’s getting to the point where I am gonna need to force myself to eat something to keep my strength up but everything just sounds terrible to me right now. I have been subsisting mostly on small glasses of milk and the occasional packet of instant oatmeal....

While you can go for a period without many calories, you will need electrolytes. The recommendations for things like Pedialyte will help with that, but for foods you may just have to try what works for you. It's so personal.

Stay hydrated and "salted" and go from there. If you can't keep it down then it isn't for you. Salty foods will help you retain water.

Haha I respect the responsible response. Sounds fun!

Is that like UpDog?

I worked at a high school program for a few years (after school, spring break, etc) and there was a student who REALLY ate plain - white rice with nothing else, pasta with nothing on it. We called it the white diet. I remember we got pizza once but don't remember what he did with it.

One of the craziest interactions I have seen was when a Peregrine Falcon attacked a Canada Goose in flight. We were watching the goose fly up canyon and the peregrine must have thought it was too close to its nest or something. Only time I've heard a goose make a sound like that!!

I don't know if this is unpopular or not, but I really don't like hearing about folks' medical history. Like yes, I know you have anxiety/diabetes/whatever because you tell me every single time I see you. I, too, have a condition that requires me to take multiple pills everyday for my whole life, but you'd never know it bc I don't make it my identity. I'd rather not, and I'd rather not others who aren't facing death do it. On some cases I guess it speaks to the status of mental health care in my country since it almost seems like a cry for help that I just cannot answer.

What are your criteria for upvoting/downvoting?

I hate that I always compare Lemmy to Reddit, but Reddit used to have (not sure if they still do) guidelines called “Reddiquette” that included guidelines about upvoting and downvoting. I don’t remember the specifics (and sending too much of my browser traffic to Reddit makes me feel dirty) but one of the guidelines was...

I didn't know about the down votes, thanks for sharing.

rhythmisaprancer,
@rhythmisaprancer@kbin.social avatar

I was never a reddit member and so may miss some of that nuance, but I vote for things I enjoyed reading or for folks I enjoyed interacting with. I thought about down voting one thing, but then leaned that group didn't work that way. The whole point was to say something that was against the grain.

rhythmisaprancer,

If two people are just bickering back and forth, they both get downvotes.

You made me think of this:

This, and the other things I read about (like subscriptions for heated seats) are what will lead to some bizarre third party hack market for cars. Instead of taking a new vehicle to a place for custom pinstriping or whatever, folks will get them privatized.

I don't know about now, but my first Linux OS was Ubuntu and I appreciated the long support because of this. That was in the dial up days, tho, I can't imagine why anyone would require that now ☠️

rhythmisaprancer,
@rhythmisaprancer@kbin.social avatar

Wow, big memory trip! It was os/2 warp, I saw that package and knew it!

Dad worked for IBM in the 70s, no surprise. I also remember him having an OS box with a penguin on it but I don't believe he ever installed it. ~95ish.

Gosh my dad ran that in the early 90s. Was that Linux? He was then and still is a Microsoft person.

This is funny because 2008 is also when I got stuck on it. Interesting read, thanks for sharing!

Well this changes that Alice In Chains song for me 🕳️

But this is something that makes English both frustrating and fascinating!

These comments are interesting. I have never washed rice, nor even considered it. Now I want to try it out and see what difference I can experience!

I can't get much info as a non subscriber. Does this film involve slow deaths? Great title.

This sounds much more adorable than the parents probably want it to sound.
