Is Rotten Tomatoes Still Reliable? A Statistical Analysis in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

There is still the audience score and the top critics score. This will need to be looked at specifically but shouldn't have the same issues as the overall ranking. If that section is useless except for marketing just ignore it

Real baller move. Time to get some sheep so I can make my own wool hats I guess. The gourd hat is more decorative than functional in the winter

At the art fair by my house is a lady who makes gourd earrings, birdhouses and instruments. She even wears a gourd hat. She grows them all herself. I tried to grow a luffa this year inspired by her. It failed because they are hard to germinate. Next year I'm doing a bottle gourd

Pretty much everyone into STEM is a little kinky. We all love tinkering and asking why. For sexuality that is kink.

Nope. This is three in an astronomical season between the solstice and equinox. Not based on our calendar. So based on the earth and the moons rotation

Even now there is something so mysterious about the moon. The fact we get third new moons and full moons on some astrological seasons is so fascinating.

Any processing removed the stinging. They are a real super super food high in pretty much every vitamin and mineral. I drink nettle tea often in the winter

Old school DND and OSR clones would do great with their high chance of dying.

If you really need to stay with 5e you could cap player levels at 6 and scale the world. But that might not be worth it

I've had them in real life. But they look so good in Pokemon. Also that was years after I saw them

Lying to large corporation.

Quick story to go along with this. I purchased a new in the box playpen from a used clothing and good sale. After opening it and setting it up, it seems like it was missing a hole to attach one of the secondary accessories to this playpen. Everything else was working and this was something that was a nice to have add on.

After a week of trying to prove that I purchased this item and is actually missing that hole, I was informed this was unreplaceable but I could get a refund. After I said I wanted a refund I was informed that I needed to destroy the entire item to get the $50 refund and send them pictures. So I had to either destroy the only functional part of this item or find a picture that looks like I did. I decided on lying and used a Gen-AI image tool to create this. It ended up working out and I am getting the refund without breaking anything. If they are forcing this technology down our throats, I will use to circumvent stupid policies. Hopefully the energy used to create the photo is less than the energy needed to create a one playpen.

Obviously this is just theory because who would steal from a large corporation.....

Best Privacy Focused Baby Tracking App (midwest.social)
 

My partner just hit her third trimester and we are getting everything ready for when our first baby arrives. When our baby arrives we want to use one of those baby tracking apps that allow you to log when the baby was fed, when they pooped etc. I want to make sure whatever my partner and I use doesn't sell our data.

We will need something that we both can use on our own phones and want it simple and easy to use. What did everyone use? Did you like it? Did it feel useful and safe?

I have Ostrich fern on the front of my house that I have been waiting years to try. I keep missing the window when they are ready so I was overjoyed when I saw my fiddlehead popping up. I chopped 9, steamed with in a pan with a little butter for 5 minutes. I plated them with just a sprinkle of flaky salt and had them for lunch today.

They were great and tasted a little like asparagus but with a more savory, earthly flavor. They were amazing and totally worth the wait. I might check tomorrow to see if I can sustainability grab a few more to have them again.

10/10 would forage again.
