“When I grow up, I want to be a stereotype!”

I thought this wasn’t a legal requirement of US carriers, sharing their towers for emergencies. Maybe it’s a state thing.

My head says stuff in other languages all the time because a word’s easier or funner to say.

Yeah. Personality is big for me. There’s a big difference in unintelligent and unknowledgable; most people are intelligent enough, just lacking knowledge or information.

I’ve learned anything involving animals doing unusual things through night vision video or image is AI slop, aimed at a Facebook trend surging in 2024-2025, possibly still going.

Usually it’s something stupid like kangaroos or rabbits on a trampoline, a racoon riding on a dog’s back, or a bear and cat snuggling.

It’s a 365 instance on a small partition for work. I use PowerQuery a lot and found a VM slows down ETL times too much. I work at a university and can use our powerful VMs for remote researchers, but they reset workspace each day, so it’s a hassle.

There’s no other reason why I have a local copy still and it’s always a relief to be done with it for the day.

Dogs are incredible at reading facial and body language. It’s why they tend to go into their submissive, “Oh shit, I’ve fucked up.” sit and stare when they see your reaction. Most of the time they’re not sure what the specific thing was that they’ve done to upset you, just that they can tell by your stern face that they’ve done something you’re unimpressed by. This is why it’s important to catch them in the act, rather than getting mad later. They won’t know if it was the pot plant, the slipper, where they were sleeping, their bark, etc. just that one of the many thing was not good.

That’s very assumptuous. Assuming things is just gambling.

In truth, I have no idea what quote you’re referring to and 0 ≠ 4/5; since this is about as far as I made it first time at film class before leaving. While the second is marginally better, it is much the same. I don’t think I’ve ever made it to the third; there’s been a few attempts and chances over a couple decades bringing my total Godfather minutes to an unfortunately but substantially above average amount—especially the front 120 mins or so.

This is quite on contrast to your “so, you…” styled assumption. It’s better to not be like that.

I’ve tried to watch it several times but always shut it off.

It’s a movie that’s constantly aware of itself and tries to push that onto the audience through self-conscious directing—which explains all the nepotism in casting too—and hat makes for disengaging storytelling and characters. And then there’s the cinematography that tries too hard, so it’s more a technical exercise than an effective one, but was successful in its era for that uniqueness.

Not to nrglect it’s an awful portrayal of organised crime, much like The Hurt Locker is at war. And Luca Brasi, ugh. It’s just awful.

In the modern day, I’ve understood the trilogy to be a go-to for “movie buffs” that are vulnerable to ad populum.

I have All because I like the diversity. But that means community, keyword, and user blocks are needed.

Obviously ML is blocked, quite a few NSFW communities, gender-centric communities, religion-centric communities, political ideology communities, fan art/anime communities… Basically if it’s not of interest, or of social contraversy, and loud, it gets blocked because of the types of people it attracts. This makes for a relatively toxic-free experience, few soapboxes, but still a big diversity of posts and topics come in.

Keywords go in and out when I’m fatigued by US politics or the same headlines about the same people over and over.

For users, I find it weird that many Lemmy users are obsessed with their enemies or the things they disagree with, so user blocks get dished out when I see people behaving that way too. Doesn’t matter what the topic is they’re “discussing”.

There’s kind of been an increase in things being more accessible and usable by the standard user where previously they would need to be quite savvy or know a language.

But, yeah, I can’t think of much else. Not user-based tech anyway. Just the usual insignificant increases and a bunch of bullshit no one asked for and actually ends up using, but has to pay for.

I think smartphones are an excellent example. Most people wouldn’t notice the differences between a second-hand $150 Samsung Galaxy from five years ago, and the latest flagship for 10× the price. The innovation is almost entirely unnoticeable.

That started so confusing. Because Americans have nfi what a liberal is, they constantly refer to each other as such. It’s only later in the post you learn it’s coming from the Republican side this time around 🤣

Good stuff!

Good company.

How good is hospital recovery?

Sure, there’s some cons, but you basically get a free card to game relentlessly, undisturbed, and guilt-free. Tragically, you eventually heal up and have to go back to being a normie.

I have Finnish Lapphunds and they love a good howl session. When they hear me say “Ah-woowoos?”, the eldest male leads the charge with a tremendous wolf-like howl and we all join in. They’re all happy with themselves after.

Though, on rare occasions, he lets out a huge howl in his sleep which is the most frightening thing to be randomly woken up by.

Yeah but it’s like the gearbox. While everything’s pulled apart, you may as well swap out the clutch, bearing, and flywheel too because they’ll need replacing again first. Especially if better versions of them are now supported.

Because all his other deviancy didn’t affect her until this one.

Yep. Cowboy coffee is Turkish brew. The only difference is a lack of any extra implements and it’s usually done in a big camp kettle or pot. The grind isn’t that fine either. But for all intents and purposes, the method is the same. Greek coffee is also very similar.

I’m also a big fan of boiling more tea than normal to get a strong flavour lol. But usually out camping, I’ll have my coffee grind and just tea bags because they’re much easier Always double bag it 😁 Big peppermint fan, but also like a lot of smooth and flowery blends. Like the opposite of the coffee, I guess—cover all bases.

Bloom is the period that the coffee floats and foams out bubbles, because the heat is expelling the CO2 (and other gases) from the grind. Once it’s out, bloom is over, the foam/bubbles settle, and the coffee sinks down to the bottom having no gases to float with anymore. During bloom, most of the flavour is being released from the grind. Think of it like the coffee is “opened up” or blooming.

Because there’s no way to pull out the grind in cowboy coffee, bloom just goes until msx, making strong flavour. But, that’s where pulling it off heat early or adding cold water can control bloom time to weaken the hit. Personally, I just max it out and dilute it in the cup if it’s too strong, but I like strong flavour coffee.
