Lemmy_know when you got this up and running ❤️

This was an excellent breakdown of the American elections system, thank you

I’m reading Le Carre’s “The Spy who came in from the Cold.” The protagonist briefly reflects on torture and his own inability to resist it. The antagonist later says something to the effect of, ‘We believe you think you’ve told us everything, but we want to make sure we get what your subconscious isn’t telling us.’ A creepy thought about the perspective of a torturer. Admittedly, this book was written by an ex-spy in the sixties, and the mindset about torture has shifted. Just found it interesting and maybe relevant

Sheer sex appeal

There’s a subset of drinkers that would aspire to it though - some ppl’s passion is booze, and will spend the same price as a nice car on it and sip it over a decade. Whether or not it’s sane is up to you though lol

I’ve been lucky enough to try some, truly a flavour worth experiencing at least once if you can and like cognac. I still babble about it happily to strangers all the time…

Oh for sure, just a PSA - once I found out there were cards I wanted some, then found out I couldn’t have them lol

Damn, can’t buy this pack of cards outside the USA

This sounds dangerously like a rule 🤔 🇨🇦

If anything, it makes us legal scholars - if it’s not a written rule, it’s a loophole in the making

Don’t be silly. If one should get double tapped, you have a progressively smaller gun. For emergencies

Yeah this is my experience as well. I don’t have much technical knowledge about it, but Firefox with ublock seems to be the enemy of captcha and CloudFlare

For the first time, I caught loss before loss was pointed out to me 😅

I read a few and didn’t see this. I’m from a smallish town and ended up adopting the community gym. Best decision of my life, saved me from a really rough time. Gymrats are far friendly than their rep gets, most of them are just guys that just wanna bullshit and push shit. A community rec center is also a great option, or a beer league. Just stuff that forces you outside, even when you pull the “but I don’t wannaaaaaa”

This is gonna give me a hernes (hernia?)

Okay so I forgot how big the sun is and had that absentminded mental picture moment of “oh it would make a big bang as something 3/4s the size of the sun would hit it”…

This picture was a very helpful reminder of just how out to lunch that thought was. Don’t trust your absent thoughts, folks 😅

Which means the “one spot between pissers” rule still applies

Ah but you assume I will remember to BUY Chia seeds 😂

I’m just sharing the info I have based on reports from a guy who works there. Check out the article

This is like the quietest room on earth. Built to stop sound as much as possible, apparently it’s so quiet you can hear your heartbeat. I think I remember the average ppl can stand it is like 12 minutes

Edit: I was wrong about time (30 mins), but the longest is about an hour. See bottom of the article.
