Seriously. Can we stop this ridiculous obsession with “generational” comparisons, please, and the click bait that goes with it? Let’s instead start learning empathy and stop trying to force fit everything into an arbitrary category. Can we really not, collectively, as a species, grasp nuance and the eternally changing state of everything?
Probably not, but here’s to hoping.
Put your salami in that and it’s gonna come out looking like chorizo
Pure poetry. Your words have convinced me to keep my junk outta exotic fruits.
Absolutely. Nothing suffered or died to produce it so I wouldn’t consider it unethical. I realize most people wouldn’t be able to get past the “human” label.
Edit: not actually a vegan so not sure my vote counts in this thread.
Genuinely the best thread on Lemmy in a fortnite. Thank you.
Best of luck, friend. Hope everything works out for you.
Had a plumber friend joke that what he learned in plumbing school was, “Shit flows downhill and payday is Friday.” As an adult I think plumbers really earn their money when the shit is flowing the wrong direction. Here’s to a great career filled with… Interesting challenges.
Is your farm specialty growing plants or animals? Or both?
My family has dabbled in chickens, horses, and goats. But we can’t grow a plant that isn’t a weed.
You deserve a raise! On Lemmy, at least.
If you work for a large-ish company you should look into getting ergonomic accomodations sooner than later. In the US anyway many companies want to avoid the workman’s comp claims from repetitive stress injuries like carpal tunnel and whatever debilitating circulation issues sitting in a crap chair 8 hours daily causes.
First, good on you. As a corpo wage slave who would not be good at either dressing up or removing said dressing, color me envious.
Second, any particular fandom pay the bills better than others?
Now that I’m asking I realize I probably don’t actually want to know.
I love the vagueness! Could be many things and sets the imagination whirring.
I also love this comment because it implies the existence of an “unhelpful professional” which is a wonderful distinction.
Your money or someone else’s?
I taught myself to weld (poorly, of course) but I love the satisfaction of joining two pieces of metal well, and getting in the zone and laying down a clean bead to be proud of.
I often wondered but don’t know any welders to ask personally… Does doing it professionally take the fun out of it?
It has been a minute but I want to say maybe BNA Nashville Airport had them.
Regardless, it looked like this.
I have seen these in airport parking garages - green when the spot is empty, red when occupied and visible from the end of the aisle.
What really blew my mind was seeing the exact same functionality for stalls in the restroom.
That’s either stupid as hell or utterly brilliant. Either way, I want it.
I think this comes up every year or so and never amounts to anything other than some headlines and a bump in Republican rah-rah.
However, when I follow this line of thinking to its conclusion it scares the shit out of me. It ends with armed militia showing up at my home to “enlist” my kids to be cannon fodder for these assholes’ holy war against the Yankee libs.
The feeling of inevitably and helplessness is crushing.
I wonder if this type of economic calculus would mean a supply of inexpensive, second-hand panels might be available in the next few years.
The design is based on the false assumption that Google’s page-ranking algorithm favors accurate results and not SEO-gamed garbage. Google Search has been broken for some time, and now the company is relying on those gamed and spam-filled results to feed its new AI model.
God I love this so much. Though I’d bet there will shortly be two Google search algorithms, one for us engines of consumption and one directly from 2016 only for the AI to feed from.
At thrice the energy consumption, of course.
I’d give them a little more credit than that. They also calculate if the planet will outlive them by at least a minute and then maximize gains in the interim.
