it's bringing us first-hand accounts from struggles around the country and around the world. it's the reason we had first hand footage of what was really happening in palestine. you get updates from the front lines in Ukraine faster than the news does because you're following the javelin gunner that made the shots. it's the only reason I know what's going on in the country of Georgia right now, it's the only reason I know that there still finding whatever polyvinyl chemicals in the soil of East Palestine Ohio. it's probably going to serve you dancing girls at first, but once it gets to know your tastes, you'll be served videos from archaeologists, biologists, artists and professional divers that have retired to a Caribbean island, who take you along as a member of their team gets the bends through the whole process.
Because people aren’t pouring 30-40 grams of sugar into their coffee. Also artificial sweeteners taste like shit and haven’t been proven to not cause other health issues.
FYI, this community will be locked tomorrow, feel free to recreate this post on the new community !casualconversation. Of course, you don't have too if you think the topic has been discussed enough.
The only possible word that comes to mind is “anticlockwise” used in (some parts of?) the UK instead of “counterclockwise”… but that doesn’t exactly match “diagonally”. Is it the word though?
i am enjoying the public nature of the voting as downvotes now require consideration. i have noticed i use it far less than in the privately held voting systems like reddit.
When you put it that way, it's weird in hindsight to think of everyone here calling Reddit toxic. People are the people around them, but now it's good I guess (if you ask me, I enjoy both sites).
Was your hand generated by AI? Because I’ve just had a look at your comment history, and you have over 50 downvoted in the first page or two of comments.
My dad uses NixOS. My dad knows precisely nothing about computers; just ask him, he'll tell you. I figure, since he's gonna call me for free tech support no matter what operating system he has, anyway, I might as well make everything as reproducible as possible for my own sake. I tried putting Debian testing on his computer, and honestly, that was actually pretty good except that I had to update it for him at least once a week in order to keep everything running smoothly, lol.
Yes; the difference with NixOS is that you can go way longer than you ever should without updating it, and then do a full system upgrade, and then turn around and walk away without ever having to worry about anything breaking.
From an IT perspective, blockchain technology is a solution in search of a problem.
From an environmental perspective, crypto is a disaster.
From an economical perspective it's too unstable to be anything but gambling.
Buying drugs over the internet is the only real reason crypto currencies can be useful. Hell even in person it's better to use cash.
Maybe that's the only use case but it is fucking good at it. Amazingly good
Besides cash could be removed by govs to 'protect us'
And obviously cash cannot be used over distance
Cryptography gives power to the people. US even wanted cryptography banned at some point but it turned out not feasible so they pretended they changed mind
Lemmy is another thing that gives me hope in the future
But I also feel like there need to be a few fruits between the two. Avocados are pretty soft, their skin easily tears. Apples are crispy, the pressure needed to crush an apple in one hand is at least 10x greater than to crush an avocado.
Husband and I have a standing bet to be the first person to do 10 handstand pushups on a stage. Not sure why the stage is involved, and I can't remember what the prize is. Also it's been over 5 years since we made it, and neither of us can do a single one yet. But I think of it often.
I was thinking training montage, with Eye of the Tiger and everything.
In all seriousness, picture your dude's face! He will have forgotten all about that bet (he might have even now) and one regular sunny day you CASUALLY walk on over to that conveniently located stage; "hold that drink for me for a second, honey", and BAM. He won't know what's even happening, crying into both of your milk shakes in joy and confusion.
Plus, you'll be super buff. There's no downside, really.
Thanks for asking! Right now I'm still just waiting around; I need surgery because of the nature of the break and its interference with my rotator cuff, but I need an MRI/follow-up before it can be scheduled. So it won't be until at least the 23rd.
I had some deep-tissue bruises that hurt even more than my shoulder for a while, which made it hard to walk, but they finally mostly healed.
My shoulder isn't too bad if I don't move it, but it actually hurts a lot more than usual this morning. The doctor only gave me a few of the weakest non-OTC painkillers you can get, so I've had to ration them for when the pain is at its worst. So I'm relying on acetaminophen and ibuprofen, which doesn't really cut it tbh.
Well, I'm sorry about the travesty called the United States "'healthcare' 'system'" and waiting around, and I'm actually not being at all sarcastic when I say that, sadly. I do a lot of waiting around myself, for the same reason. I have chronic pain and I already rely on acetaminophen and ibuprofen because of that, and if I'd ended up with the exact same injury, I would've needed something stronger than Tylenol III and more than a few of them. I'm really sorry they did that to you; that's literally cruel, I think. You don't have chronic pain; you have acute pain because you got hit by a car. I'd think they'd understand that and/or care.
EDIT: let me rephrase something, sorry. I don't know if you have chronic pain or not, and I'm not trying to speculate. The point I was trying to make is that you got hit by a car, and that they should treating you with compassion instead of functionally punishing you for everything the driver did wrong. I already know I'm gonna get downvoted for saying that and I already don't care. I'm really sorry this is happening to you.
Thank you! I appreciate it. I don't really have particularly severe chronic pain, but my SO does, so I'm familiar with how hard it can be to get serious pain relief and how horribly frustrating that can be.
imo, it's cruel whether the pain is chronic or acute. I guess I get why they're so stingy, but there needs to be a lot more grace for pain patients. It's not just about pain, but mental health, too. :/
I was definitely a little surprised and annoyed about it. Clearly there's no questioning the fact that I'll be in significant pain for (at minimum) a month, so why are you giving me only 6 days' worth? Are decent scripts reserved for only the people who are literally on their death bed???
