Probably had enough time to "clean up" his own businesses records

1 I would not want to be on the front lines of modern combat

2 Russia go the fuck home

3 are these fly by wire/the optical cable? Are they trying to get the soldiers tied up before blowing them up?

4 they really seem to enjoy playing with their food. Good, throw your gun at the death robot, then go boom. Kkthxbye go home now okay?

I'm closer to 40 than 35, and my wife recently gave up ever replacing "college blanket", which was actually bought for me in early high school after I asked if I could take my grandparents comforter home with me. They found one and got it for me that Christmas (I think it was Ross/home goods), it was probably the most generic comforter ever, I always thought I'd be able to find another when needed. After 2 cats, a dog and the better part of 2 decades, my wife decided it was time to let it go and get a replacement, no problem, it's the most generic comforter ever. She gets me a nice duvet, so we can keep the inside nice and replace the outside as needed, nope definitely not the same. She gets a comforter, it's stitched way too tightly, and doesn't breathe the same (okay maybe a 20 year old blanket has gained a bit of aeration, maybe it breathes better than it did when it was new, but you can definitely tell the padding is stitched much more tightly than college blanket's ever was), she got me a "cooling" comforter, it's decent, but paired best with college blanket, and when I only have 1 blanket 9 times out of 10 it's college blanket.

Now college blanket has had 5 cats and 3 dogs and the majority of my life, it's been the bed of desire for multiple animals, myself included, and my wife sometimes asks for it when she's sick. Apparently it's really scratchy, and holey, and it's closely missing about 20% of it's original fluff, and I would put it away in a place of honor in a heartbeat if I could find a new one. I swear it was 40 dollars at a home goods store, in a pile with a hundred others just like it, but we've looked for the better part of a decade now, and it's been deemed irreplaceable. It would probably be the first material thing I went for if we had to evacuate. I'm not highly sentimental, but you don't let a good blanket go.

Nope, you didn't get to deny Congress people entrance to federal buildings for any reason.

You know what happens when you do that? Lawsuits, but you know what happens when lawsuits won't solve the problems immediately at hand? Riots. You want riots? (Probably actually...) That's how you instigate riots.

Feeding the troll, and probably whatever algorithm you're feeding my responses into, but where the hell has it ever been said that they're preventing people under 40 from talking?

I'm sorry, you're asking for what now? Should we be inviting Kristi noem at the next rally? I'm thinking she might decline...

Or were you looking for someone libertarian?

Having fewer comments to sift through makes it much easier to self sort the crazy/obvious trolls, even when they make many accounts

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (5 children)

When party leaders/elected officials speak at rallies, it's proof that there's a conspiracy?

That's amazingly soft, living up to your handle there.

Yeah I'm dismayed how much violence stoking I see in the comments. People need to stay safe, and throwing gasoline on a sparking outlet is not the way to do that

Fucking love it. Rip Tom

Oh my goodness, someone else who played ghost master! What a quirky awesome game! I wasn't aware it was PC exclusive, because who the hell consideres PC to be "exclusivity"

Yeah, I'd rather try to work through the system than give his orange-ness and the troglodytes more provocation.

Edit to add: as a pissed off Californian with family in LA

 

It doesn't announce the date in the video, but in the description. The video is more teasing goodness.

I hope they'll do constant interviews soon

Not the Tesla, the car in front of it, it's got a very unique tail light array, I'm thinking it's one of the new smaller ev producers, but maybe it's something Japanese with a less common trim package?

Thanks for the assist, I'm quite infatuated with it's styling.

I believe the badge was red, and there are 5 letters beneath it (so not Jaguar)

 

I've been a subscriber to humble choice since day 1.

I went back through the last 2 years of bundles (average about 1.5 activations per month) and added games to my account.

Next time I get the urge to buy something "because it's on sale" I'll go back and add things I've already paid for.

His collar tag matches his personality, and his chompers, perfectly. Care to guess what it is?

 

I've seen a few articles about neutrinos recently, high energy ones, super fast ones, ones from open space, others from "sources", and my understanding of the particle is that it's very hard to detect, passes through light-years of lead without interaction, etc. don't headings and speed require multiple readings to make? How do we know the velocity of a neutrino when we can only detect them at single points?

 

""Vera Rubin offers an excellent example of what can happen when more minds participate in science," was changed to replace "more" with "many," altering the meaning from emphasizing the need for diverse perspectives to simply highlighting a high number of people."

 
 

I'll probably check in again at 34 hours.

 

I don't know how I got this job, sure it doesn't pay the best in the field, and you need lots of specialized training, and with that training you can go to much more prestigious work, but it pays enough. I don't know why the previous person to do it left (the commute was too much for her, but I would've moved closer if I was her). She trained me very briefly because I knew most of the ins and outs already, she told me the boss had been in and out of remission with bone cancer, but the last flair up was taken care of years ago.

It's been 7 years since he was first diagnosed, and he's had 2 replacements, they won't do a third. He doesn't want to try the experimental treatments because he'd rather enjoy the time he has.

I've worked for him for 3 years and I feel so greedy wanting to scream at him to try every avenue available. He has 3 amazing kids, a wife and in-laws who live him, he loves coming into work, he just finished renovating his forever home. And I don't want a different boss. I need more time with my mentor, my friend, the best boss I've ever had.

I just learned this morning, and it's really raw, I need to get it off my chest, I don't want to steal time from his family, but I want to take from him as much as I can. He's a genius in the field, the person he's trying to get to replace him is remarkable younger guy, but he's my age, he doesn't have the life experience that I've found myself looking to my boss for.

Fuck cancer.

Thanks off my chest. Hug your loved ones. Tell your dog they're good, scratch your cat. Enjoy the moments of extra nice weather.

 

My understanding is the researcher took Gaia probe information and looked at "wide binary stars" (not sure what defines wide, but there must be a ton of them), within 650 light years of earth. They found the ones that accelerate the least (relative to each other? Rotationally?) are, and this is where I get confused, moving more efficiently around each other than their faster counterparts?

This discrepancy is postulated to be due observations of the stars acting in different physics models based how much they're accelerating relative to each other?

If this is correct (and the researcher is very transparent with their methods and using public data) would this up-end our models as much as I think it would? There's probably a lot of things interacting with other things at very low relative acceptable throughout the universe. Or is this just highlighting a truth we already knew, that there's a difference between the quantum and relative universes that we're now able to roughly put a scale to?

I've added to my questions since lemmy has been down, what in the world does this paragraph mean? "Also, unlike other studies Chae calibrated the occurrence rate of hidden nested inner binaries at a benchmark acceleration."

While doing some you tubing about this (thanks lemmy.world down time) I discovered Sabine hossenfelder, who I think is becoming one of my favorite science communicators I recommend anyone wondering about anything science to check her out https://youtube.com/@SabineHossenfelder

 

I'm entirely new to sync, I feel like this will be common knowledge, but I went to expand a comment thread, it said "1/2 comments added" and the "view more (2)" button disappeared, it loaded 1 comment, but I'd be interested to see what that other comment was.

Thanks Lemmy-syncers

More info, just updated the app and the first thread I was trying to read showed both comments, but the second thread gave the same response, I was leaning towards "it's not showing deleted by creator" except it loaded 2/2 for one of the previous 1/2 threads.

 

Quite a fun game, and the price has never been better, I'm not sure how long it'll be free so grab it while your can. The "endless" universe games, and their spice, have never really caught on with me, but this one was very easy to pick up and play, especially with the heavy+medic+pyro team from the TF2 update.

Don't let this one go past you!
