You can already stick a beer bottle in the sand. If you’re determined enough, also your ass (Wikipedia, SFW).

I’ve got friends who are vibing without a job. The vibes are… not so good.

My local martial arts club had a rightwing woman join around spring 2021. Almost immediately she brought kind of chuddy energy to our meetings which really sucked. However, she wasn’t outright violating any of our rules about hate speech or accepting other people.

At first we tried to ignore her, but she didn’t take the hint and kept showing up even when most members stopped speaking to her in complete sentences. Then we passed a rule saying that you couldn’t participate in club events without being vaccinated. She threw a fit and called us all pharma sheep before quitting in a huff, and we got to enjoy our hobby again.

If this happens again, I’m personally going to skip straight to making their membership untenable.

Shouldn’t he be folding little origami animals or something?

Depends on the search engine you use. I started giving Kagi a try and it has options to increase visibility of fediverse content in your searches.

I’d guess it’s a mix of fediverse being a poor fit for ad-oriented SEO and relatively low adoption.

Everyone out here acting like they don’t use 9001

Babylon 5 did it pretty well. One complete story, told across 5 seasons of 22 episodes each. Some of the episodes which I thought were filler on first watch turned out to involve critical plot elements in later seasons. I want to say seasons 2-4 were really tightly focused. Season 5 kinda slowed down, mostly because season 4 was written to be a finale in case they got canceled.

In the context of SKG, Minecraft seems pretty unkillable to me.

• Solid single player experience
• Vibrant ecosystem of people hosting their own servers

If Microsoft disappeared overnight, everyone could still play Minecraft.

I guess there is a login system, but back when I used to play MC, you could play offline with cracked copies.

While I’m sure Holocaust historiography has evolved over the last 50 years since it was published, the latter half of The Twisted Road to Auschwitz: Nazi Policy towards German Jews 1933-1939 covers how among other plans to set up Jewish colonies around the world, the Nazis did cultivate relationships with Zionist groups when trying to expel Jews from Germany.

The book makes a case that, to the Nazis, the Holocaust became a “final solution” when all the other “solutions” they tried for expeling the Jews from German public life before WW2 broke out had failed (eg, the aforementioned failed colonial projects).

I’d say that Evrala’s comment has plenty of credible historical support.

The Republic in ep 1 is about to get in a war with the Trade Federation over taxes. If a group of space traders think they can win a fight against the galactic government, then maybe the economy is poor and Republic credits aren’t trusted.

I recently watched Shadow of the Vampire, which asked the question “What if Max Shreck was a real vampire during the filming of Nosferatu (1922)?”

An interesting premise, but it really bothered me that Shadow of the Vampire pretended that all of Shreck’s scenes were filmed at night. When you watch Nosferatu’s “nighttime” scenes with Count Orlock, you can clearly see him casting a daylight shadow. Afterwards, they tinted the scenes blue to simulate moonlight.

Not sure what your living situation is, but if you have the space for a grill, you can get an outdoor wok stand + propane burner for not a lot of money.

You should report this to somewhere like 404 media

You know it’s fake because the faces are showing

Popcorn + spoon is the way. Clean hands plus high throughput.

It’s just random people coming with alcohol and having fun. Doesn’t this exist in America?

I’ve seen it in a few places.

Eg: Yesterday I was boating on a river and passed a dock packed full of young people doing all that stuff.

Keep in mind that the drinking age is different between Germany and USA. Teenagers will get in trouble for public drinking, so they tend to do it in secret.

SRE:

• Receives a slack message that lighbulb is broken
• Realizes that they never got an alert when the light went out
• Fixes their monitoring thresholds
• Routes all broken lightbulb alerts to a slack channel nobody reads

Apparently in this context bear baiting means hunting a bear by leaving bait, not tying a bear up and betting on how many attack dogs it can kill before dying.

If you have some really flavorful dried mushrooms, save the water you used for rehydration. Makes a great soup stock.

Rehydrated or fresh, I think most people undercook their mushrooms. Even bland supermarlet cremini/portobello is greatly improved by pan frying until it gets slightly crispy and seared.

Yeah, but Paris also got to fuck the delta flyer
