That’s basically what Graveyard looks like when I arrive at 06:15.

Lidia taught me that

This is making me chuckle, because I just did this last night for a dinner party. It was a hell of a lot of pasta for 7. I kept it moving, even in my big stock pot. Only a few strands stuck to the bottom. We have leftovers.

I usually cook a quarter of that for the two of us, sometimes half if I want to eat for a couple of days.

2lbs/1 kg is a lot.

That’s one odd star.

Worse, they fall to 83rd for life expectancy at age 65. That’s what really counts for most of us.

Weeeleeeee-bebldebeep Shhhhhhhhh WawaaaaaaaaaWawaaaaaaaaa

No idea what our first computer was, but it was BIG. The first thing I did was play games. This would’ve been somewhere around 87-89.

Seriously. I’d consider over sixty an anomaly right now, but it won’t be in the future.

If you grew up with games, they’re too imbedded in your entertainment routine to give up.

Kentucky Ballistics did a whole video on this gun.

In addition, those shorts are still called daisy dukes (at least by my generation) in honor of Daisy there, laying on the flag.

This is always the question that trips me up.

I’m 5 years younger than OP. I work in a municipal transportation power system job (we maintain and control the grid for trains, trolleys, etc.). I’m sure I’m wasting all sorts of effort in my professional life. I have time. I got a lot out of learning Power Automate. However, if you ask me to pick one specific project, I get overwhelmed because I don’t know what’s reasonable.

I don’t know enough to know if my ideas are achievable, or if I’d just be bashing my head against the wall. I don’t know if they’re laughably simple tasks, multimillion-dollar propositions, or Goldilocks ideas that would be perfect to learn a coding language.

I just read a comic about metrics becoming goals…

I appreciate your example language. That sounds like it could be a direct quote!

I had this idea, years back, to start a subreddit for missed photos, IMAP instead of ITAP—“I missed a picture.” I was going to make it a paragraph description, but this would be just as good.

Edit: guys, see how this is all in the past tense? I’m not going to be doing it. I don’t want to be a mod.

“video not loading”

It’s such an intriguing thumbnail. I guess I’ll embrace the suspense.

Thanks for that. Really cool stuff.

“Aluminum oxynitride ceramics have been around since the 1980s, so it’s not new stuff by any means.”

Says it costs 5X the price of standard bulletproof glass, but that it’s far stronger, and IR-transparent. Cool material.

Yeah. Environmentalism, workers rights, social justice. Totally Milei’s core issues /s.

I believe this is the same issue with the other comment, taking what I wrote as a specific solution to a specific problem.

This issue of getting the police called is emblematic of a problem that dark-skinned people have, where they’re considered to be inappropriate for natural areas.

What I was getting at is that there are specific rural areas, with unhinged residents and poor policing, where no outsider should go. If I choose to go, I should expect to provide my own personal protection. Those locations would be vastly multiplied if I had dark skin, to the point that it might become more expedient to just always carry.

I’m certainly not saying it would be appropriate for anyone to arm themselves while hiking in the Alps, or when dealing with police or benign racism.

No. The resolution of this specific circumstance in this specific location is not what I mean by this shit.

By this shit I mean the general danger of being the wrong color in nature.

In Europe, there’s nearly zero chance of running into serious, life-threatening, interpersonal trouble on a hike, no matter your color. That is less certain in parts of the United States.
