‘RANDOM FLUFF #76’ [OC]
  • An extremely common weapon is just whatever paper you can get your hands on, rolled up really really tight and folded over. You use it like a knife, targeting the neck or soft spots. I don't think it's used with intent to kill usually.

  • The Animals Entering Noah's Ark by Jacopo Bassano
  • When I was a kid sitting in church daydreaming, already losing my faith, I would pretend that stories from the Bible were just misunderstood oral histories. Like what if humans were from another planet? Their polar ice caps melted causing the Earth to flood. A benevolent space fairing alien race stops by and saves them. The aliens explain what they're doing but over thousands and thousands of years The history was blurred into what was eventually written down. It actually made it a lot easier to stay awake during service.

  • 'It just exploded': Springfield woman claims she never meant to spark false rumors about Haitians
  • I agree with your analysis of her apology. I don't think I've ever considered what makes an apology sound genuine. I've always thought of it as a gut instinct. Thank you!

    Do you think that the publicity from this statement, would make a second, more genuine attempt at an apology sound like attention seeking? I wonder what kind actions she could actually take to mitigate some of the damage she's caused. That's a rhetorical question, I think.

  • 'It just exploded': Springfield woman claims she never meant to spark false rumors about Haitians
  • Out of curiosity, what would accountability look like to you, in this case. Since she's admitted guilt she's likely to be held at least partially responsible for the crimes of others if it's found her racist claim played a part in the crimes motivation. I assume she's likely to lose her job as well, but we'll have to wait and see i suppose.

  • Judge blocks Biden's new student loan forgiveness plan before it rolls out. Here's what may happen next
  • The difference is this would be legal.

    There's no difference with a broken court and we can't fix that with our current Congress.

    I know you're arguing against fixing stuff,

    What the hell are you on about about? Like actually what. You need to call down with that nonsense. Why are you being so combative? I'm not even the person you were first talking to.

  • Judge blocks Biden's new student loan forgiveness plan before it rolls out. Here's what may happen next
  • To my knowledge there has never been a federal judge removed in anyway other than impeachment. You would have to take an untested claim to court, prove it, then still to apply that process to remove judges case by case after. Unfortunately, it's not us that gets to decide whether or not something is legal, it's up to the "supreme" Court. I just can't see us convincing 6 of those justices to accept consequences for their and their party's actions. This would be a hell of a legal long shot.

  • This is too cute
  • A friend of mine actually does read along twitch streams sometimes between the radio show listen tos and casual games he also does. Most of the non game content is old Doctor Who radio shows and books.

  • Do any of you play WoW? There's an open source private server we could play and make a Lemmy guild
  • Lich king is where I stopped. But once they started adding in all the heirloom gear in all the benefits for super easy casual players the game stopped being as fun. I'm saying this is someone who is a casual player too. It lost all challenge. I'd be fine with the dungeon queue system, if you at least had to be in the area of the dungeon.

  • Generative AI hype is ending – and now the technology might actually become useful
  • Alternatively, and possibly almost as useful, companies will end up training their AI to detect AI content so that they don't train on AI content. Which would in turn would give everyone a tool to filter out AI content. Personally, I really like the apps that poison images when they're uploaded to the internet.

  • Kamala Harris is making the presidential race competitive again
  • You shouldn't just be voting for the presidency and I mean, while you're there you may as well for no extra effort. But otherwise, The popular vote helps show the opinion of the majority. It might feel like a drop in the ocean, but every ocean is made of drops.

  • Smart sous vide cooker to start charging $2/month for 10-year-old companion app
  • It's a bit more involved. You need to vacuum seal your food so you have a consistent temperature across entirety of the surface. You don't really boil the water either, you have to keep it as an exact temperature and keep it circulating. That way you can cook food in seasonings and marinades to a perfect temperature then pan sear afterward for color with out losing any juices.

    If you just throw food in a bag and boil it, you'll probably be disappointed with the comparison to actual sous vide cooking.

  • They lied to you about car surveillance
  • As an owner of a plug-in hybrid this is patently incorrect. Most electric car owners have at most of 240 volt outlet (in the US), which while can fill your battery in a few hours from home, still falls short of the half hour round trip to gas station and back. Maybe with time our infrastructure and technology will get to that point though.
