It’s a scientific fact that legs cannot be or get cold. Much like birds, the legs of Midwesterners, Rock Mountain statesers, and Canadians evolved separated blood supplies in their legs that just exchange oxygen within the thighs to preserve core temperatures.

P.S. the best time to go to the beach in California is over Christmas, because you have the whole place to yourself and can laugh at everyone wearing coats in 60° sunny weather. Come on in, the water’s great!

My issue has been with #1 on your cheat sheet. My first modern (post 2014) migration attempt was with Manjaro, but every time I would install updates it would break secure boot. Then 2 weeks ago it just flat out killed grub.

I decided to take the advice of many people on the Linux side of Lemmy and nuked Manjaro in favor of CachyOS. I like it quite a bit more than Manjaro, and limine kicks grub’s ass, but I keep running into more limitations with the package manager. I look for windows software alternatives, find they should be available on the AUR, but then have problems getting an installation.

There is a lack of good documentation for using AUR on Cachy, and things aren’t intuitive for a long time Windows power user. That doesn’t even get into flat pack or AppImage. It’s a very steep learning curve.

TIL that Lithuania is Russia’s Scotland. Now I know, and knowing is half the battle.

The Hunt for Red October did the same, the first minutes are in Russian with subtitles and then it slips into English mid sentence as if the audience adapted to the language. Very effective actually.

Doesn’t change the fact that it’s Sean Connery’s brogue on a Russian naval captain, but at least it somewhat explains it. Clearly the captain is from wherever the Scottish equivalent for Russia is.

Is that to the tune of llama llama duck?

I’m sure they would if the city would stop fining and harassing them about the bore holes for core samples. The pencil pushers are always standing in the way of real science.

What a horrible day to have eyes.

It’s almost like the Bible is actually a collection of separate books written by a bunch of random people with wildly different ideas and perspectives over hundreds or thousands of years, and not a single coherent document written by a single omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent entity.

While you make great points, I believe the previous poster was probably complaining that those people who are in it just for the community are still (by and large) voting and supporting keeping their community on a local and national stage. If you vote in Christian nationalists or support “Christian” laws because your church is advocating for them, it doesn’t matter if you personally just like the music and church picnics. The same goes for tacit upholding of Sharia Law by social Muslims.

It is incredibly hard to be a social Christian or Muslim without a belief that even if they aren’t 100% convinced about God, their book is better than the alternatives. They are (again slightly generalizing) in support of the good aspects like “love thy neighbor” and subconsciously give weight to their book overall.

Those who have fully deconstructed or were only ever religious by outward appearance or for protection from a Christian or Muslim society shouldn’t really be lumped in as a Christian or Muslim.

Who would have thought Amazon caused all this by killing brick and mortar stores and malls, thus creating the mall cop to ICE pipeline.

All this time I thought it was caused by Amazon dumping money into the Trump administration. Completely different.

Apparently Marta didn’t expect to cachy them paws for pulling the old fake ball throw. Poodles are masters when it comes time to throw down (13 stories).

Which is why I, as a professional guard baby, always bring a tennis ball and a kitten to expected kidnappings: to distract puppies and to distract the kidnapper with “dad with the kitten he said he didn’t want” moments.

The only reason I haven’t switched to Manjaro permanently is because mods for the Warhammer tides games is much more tedious and I play Battlefield 6. The rootkit anti cheat software that many of the new multiplayer games use suck, but I do still want to play some of those games.

Instructions unclear, used my fartbox and now there’s even more corrosion than using my cakehole.

To add insult to injury, they are fully capable of adding the 4g module because Canadian Volts were able to be upgraded. GM decided to not let US owners pay for the upgrade, because fuck us that’s why.

Not the OP, but you can clean all the parts when torn down for service. Vacuum bags instead of holding tanks also helps with that, but mostly it’s the filters. Replace all the filters and the smells go with it.

My mid 2000’s Japanese SUV. Manual transmission, regular old v6 gas engine, only one “computer”. Same engine, drivetrain, and frame for 3-4 different models so parts are abundant. Can repair/replace anything on it with a handful of power tools and elbow grease.

It’s good to see the papyrus guy bounced back and became Secretary of State

The same way that Patriot Act activity was required to get court orders and be specific instances with no bulk surveillance?

FISA warrants became rubber stamps and with no penalties from violations, it became “legal” authoritarian police state bullshit.

Edit- look, we’re missing each other because I am arguing a larger cultural issue, you are arguing specific laws

That was the only thing I was actually asking about. I especially agree with your points about our government/politicians. It appears that the main disagreement we might have is if rape culture is the normalization/glorification of sexual assault specifically or a wider classification of power dynamics in any form.

I think anyone who commits the crime of rape is a rapist and rightly so, but am just leery about watering down the definition of rape.

I do not care how legal this might have been

I want to be clear that it wasn’t legal. Gaetz 100% committed statutory rape under current criminal law. It’s a strict accountability law, you don’t have to knowingly do it to commit the crime.

The only reason I posted at all was that after reading the article I didn’t think the persons comment you replied to was necessarily a great example of rape culture.
