thanks for posting here. I have no idea who the venkman01 is but the way they worded that post is borderline cringe

If you want to travel fast, go alone; but if you want to travel far, go together.

It's one of those African proverbs with an unknown origin but their emphasis on community has always been a guiding principle for me.

Great visual on how sparsely populated Australia is.

Years of cynicism got jumped by this announcement. Alongside with the community feedback, gotta give kudos to Arrowhead for dragging their feet with Sony instead of mindlessly becoming their sockpuppet and prioritise community goodwill.

Team effort where I trust the devs and be far more wary of Sony.

but because Kevin Conroy, I got it anyways.

Corporate greed ruins yet another thing I love.

I admire the late Conroy as much as the next guy but my brother in christ this mindset is exactly what fuels this level of quality by directly justifying it via your purchase.

You can't solely blame these corporation if you continue to behave in ways that to support and incentivises them to utilise these strategies.

Might just be me but I think this looks cool/cute af especially with the little plush

After the following years, I've quietly taken the whole "this is when we diverged into the darkest timeline" schtick an iota more seriously. It's been a strange 8 years.

For the sake of the meme, I will out myself and say that I've been confusing Napoleon and Neapolitan for all my life. I feel seen.

There's pros and cons., though personally I used this calendar for my fiction writing.

I'd like to find a way to sync the lunar cycle and solar cycles since the earth's, moon's, and revolutions around the sun are soooo close (5 days off) plus it'd make sense to keep in theme with the Babylonian-esque base-60 system (where 60 is readily divided and a factor of 360 days, 12 months, 30 days, etc).

Which is pretty much what the Ancient Egyptians did.

*edit: pretty much have 5 "fake days" and add a sixth "fake" day to account for the gradual desync.

Only started running relatively recently so it's not first thing in the morning but it's a habit. I needed a way to "warm up" for the day and be physically active.

Aside from the general hype of "it feels great" "healthy" yada yada, it gets to a point where you feel uneasy not running. Like after training my legs, they want to go for a run and be used.

You need to account for having time (sleeping early and getting up early with naps during the day) and slowly conditioning but the most important thing is consistency. Only evaluating based on your previous efforts rather than comparing to others.

in some cities such as LA, i found it safest to simply drive at the same speed as everyone else. obviously adjust for merging, passenger lanes etc but on those roads being the slowest can actually a danger to yourself and others.

glad i don't need to do this any more in my current city, just two cents

It's going to be weaker in caffeine content but still stronger tasting. This is ideal if you are trying to reduce daily caffeine intake or just like the taste of strong coffee.

Some people still need a kick of espresso but don't want/need 3 shots worth in a single drink.

From the article.

The creators expect the wooden material will burn up completely when the device re-enters the atmosphere—potentially providing a way to avoid the generation of metal particles when a retired satellite returns to Earth.

These metal particles could have a negative impact on the environment and telecommunications, the developers said as they announced the satellite's completion on Tuesday.

low-key might use this for future memes - there's an uncanny quirkiness that draws the attention hahaha

"I demand a favor"

"I grant but one boon, mortal. And it will be given to you as it is given to everyone - when your time has come."

Gargoyles, Guy summons Anubis to bring back his son. YT Link for the amazing delivery.

"Death is always pointless - that is the point"

Last sentence is such a key point that needs to get hammered. Users here now get to start fresh instead of coming into an established ecosystem. You're the one who saw the value in the fediverse, not them. It's why a lot of people are interacting more and posting. Hell, I don't even mind "reposts" because they're not even reposts on this platform.

literally all fighting games. started with smash, loved to sf4, then dbfz. sucked hard but still f opening fgc content to this day - planning to buy sf6 when i get the chance/time

I wish I were half as funny as Oglaf lmfao

only real gamers could use this all day and forget to use it once.

Because about 10 years ago, those Safari/IE weren't 1. as smooth/simple as Chrome and 2. everyone on the internet bar the tech nerds were pushing for Chrome. Firefox was viewed in the same light as Linux in my circles.

It was a meme that the only use IE had was to download Chrome. It's not that crazy when you realise the power of word-of-mouth and the meeting the general population's needs for simplicity and google-search integration/features
