One thing people foolishly ignore in the whole “cloned meat” debate is how easy and ethical it’d be to eat whatever the heck you wanted. Elephant soup? Bald eagle kebab? Mmm fried camel nuggets…

You sound pretty unqualified to judge smartness.

Invent your own hashing algorithm. It’s easy, fool-proof, secure, and reusable without compromising security.

Here’s a few examples: ebay.com password is moc.y4b3-saltyboi69 lemmy.world password is dlr0w.ymm3l-saltyboi69

(These aren’t real btw)

Not sure what I just read but…upvote

I actually chose my words very carefully because I wasn’t sure either. Unpaid? Or the women volunteered without even being asked? I’d normally think the latter, but it seems pretty bizarre!

Not research, but artistic! And the article said the volunteers were unsolicited, so they were (presumably) happy to contribute to the cause!

Gangnam Style, obviously

lol it’s not Reddit’s content to paywall in the first place.

“Bulletin Board sues passersby who took a picture without giving money first”

Around 2004, I bought a pin from a random street vendor that said “We are all Palestinian” because I was a dumbass teenager and it seemed sage with high potential to be edgy. Later, out of fear someone would ask me what the pin meant, I started reading about the situation. Long story short, that dumb pin has caused me much grief as I’ve watched this horrific drama unfold the past 20 years or so. I very much relate to your comments.

I was looking up some history timeline stuff just now and noticed 2010 was the year Hellen Thomas was fired for saying Israel should get the hell out Palestine. Coincidence or no?

Very cute

In our guest house, whenever the laundry machine ran, half the lights would go out. It was due to the drain hose having a small leak. The water seeped down and shorted an outlet in the crawl space. So I had to:

• fix the drain hose
• replace the main water disconnect valve that randomly wore out and got stuck in the off position (learn about pex, buy and use a crimper tool)
• replace some rotten wood
• replace shorted outlet with GCFI
• replace crawl space skirting I broke when investigating

Ah, good times. But now it’s all fixed. For now.

Even if “relocation” means shuffling off this mortal coil

Just cut out the middleman and order the Mountain Dew Code Red for me already

Stuff I run:

• HomeAssistant (home automation)
• frigate (local foss security cam mgmt)
• metube (web gui for yt-dlp)
• technitium (dns mgmt with adblocking and many other features that make it better than pihole imo)
• pdfDing (foss for pdf library mgmt)
• netbird (in lieu of ddns, I use this self hosted vpn to connect to stuff when I’m not local)
• caddy (maybe similar to ngnx, this lets me use custom names so I don’t have to remember ip/ports to connect)
• heimdall (simple static dashboard)

You might be interested in a video game called The Last Sovereign. I discovered it during the recent fiasco around payment processors trying to block lewd stuff, but the nsfw visuals can be turned off if you’re not into that. It’s a very serviceable RPG with turn based combat that is well balanced and engaging. But I’m recommending it because you said philosophy and it’s basically a series of Platonic dialogues between characters discussing life, the nature of man, morality, ethics, sexuality, power, and much more. I’m pleasantly surprised at how often I find myself deeply invested in the conversations. I think the writer(s) must’ve needed an outlet for their philosophical musings and chose this quirky “lewd” RPG as the medium.
