Agreed. There are a lot of posts in here about movies that are great as standalone movies.

And, as my friend who was restoring a vw bus laughed about, if there were any problems with the engine and your air tubes weren’t perfectly sealed… wonderful exhaust fumes straight into your face.

But I like xfce… :'(

I mean, it’s both good and bad. The amount of downvotes mean there is a large subset of folks who no longer recognize the twisting of stallman’s rant. They are new to linux, and not super-serious-no-casuals-allowed penguin lovers. It’s bad because I would love if everyone coming to linux could be as into it as I am. People who are invested into a thing take a much deeper look at things, and can appreciate it’s soft and jagged parts and then properly make recommendations on how to change things.

Brian Jacques, the og feast describer. I definitely tried his recipe book and enjoyed a lot of it.

Maybe it’s due to growing up in the wild internet era, where making international friends was simpler than trying to befriend the other dolts in the cafeteria, but I’ve always chuckled at people using cunt as an insult. It’s such a gasp inducer among the older crowd, but even when I was just learning the word, it struck me as odd, and my thoughts were always in line with that one quote about pussies being able to take a pounding.

Ugh, you’ve never had to be around jeep peeps, then. They’ll start bragging about their dana 44 axles while babying the car down a graded gravel road. /eye_roll

I’m wondering if scale, as in the crud that can build up on certain materials under certain conditions, is simply derived from the fish scale sense. It would seem like it, since it’s the ‘shell or husk’ Otherwise, yay, a fourth meaning!

Thanks, I will.

My favorite part about the continuous monitors is that they really show the incompetence of the clinics that are supposed to be managing us diabetics. There is a freaking option to share the data with your doctor (this is dexcom’s system thingie), but mine just asks for my account information so they can login with that and get the data. Like, whyyyy?!? You could manage all of us from one account rather than logging in a thousand different times.

Then we get to the bullshit terms and conditions, where the real hate begins… fucking device maker can go hog wild with all of our data and share it with whomever they want. Can’t use the device, after all, unless you agree to it. HIPAA is basically dead at this point.

Oh, and I also know from firsthand experience how much the cheaper devices can suck. The tandem pump drives me low just about every day. It absolutely blows balls at using the readings from the continuous monitor, while omni and medtronic do just fine.

And to expand on the other answers you received, it’s hilarious (and perhaps old now… I saw something about medical debt now being counted on credit scores and I’m sure attacks have been made on medical debts in general) that the advice typically given was to NEVER make a payment on any medical debt, because that counted as a commitment towards paying, and the laws that eventually made medical debts go away no longer applied, so the debt companies would have more ammunition to use against you in court.

No other holiday gets more than 48 hours of observance, including prep time. Even extra Halloween candy is done being talked about after a day or two once the discounted stuff is bought up.

Halloween is the only other thing that gets any attention around me. It only takes up october though, not half november through half january.

I would lose my mind. Holy hell.

Stop, you’re confusing them! And when they get confused, they hurt everyone in their confusion!

Since you deleted your comment, I can’t really address exactly what you said and I’ll have to sort of do it by memory of what tone you had, but don’t be caught without a plan. Even if the plan is just running when you see ice approach, it’s better than just being a deer in the headlights because you’ve blithely told yourself you won’t be targeted.

I wish we would see the equivalent of the la riots where shopowners banded together with guns on top of their shops, but perhaps even consider what you can do if you see someone you’re vaguely familiar with being taken by ice. The golden ideal would be a community driven communication of ice tracking, from the moment they leave their little compounds until they get to the rental car place and then their targeted areas, but things will have to get a lot worse before there’s enough people to band together for that. You could start (I have four of us in my area) with just your friends and you tracing where they’re going from news reports or social media in your area.

Considering the categories of people that have already been deported in the last year, I think you’re not taking the threat seriously enough.

I don’t consider reddit/lemmy as social media. The lack of ‘necessity’ of having your personal info plastered about and inserted into every exchange makes them something different. They’re just a different form of forum, in my opinion, with nested comments instead of a long chain.

That sounds an awful lot like a redneck cajun hocking a loogey.

It’s all the fur. Hard to have that level of energy output without building up a lot of waste heat, and it’s hard to void said waste heat when you’re insulated.

Really bad bdsm, at that. I was curious what it would be like, considering anne rice wrote all the vampire novels that featured sex gods before meyer even had her wet dream, and it was just boringly blase ‘girl gets told what to do while naked in front of strangers and is told she is beautiful for it and learns to love it.’
