No, guns are for maiming and killing living things. I didn't grow up in the bush or in a rural area, so there was no need to shoot anything.
Had my parents raised me around guns in suburbia then I would have categorised them as reckless fuckwits.
Because who in their right mind keeps guns anywhere near children? That's absurd. To think that's normal is institutionalised, cult-thought.
If your shower routine is standing under water and just washing your stinky bits, chances are your body is still covered in sun screen. That stuff is designed to stay on in water. You need to properly wash yourself all over with soap/body wash and use a loofah. That will remove the sunscreen and also exfoliate dead skin.

I read half the article (got the gist and yeah it's very true and very funny) but bowed out because of the infestation of ads on that site.
I hate this internet
Play it, Sam. You piece of shit.
We'll always have Paris, you piece of shit.
Get busy living, or get busy dying. You piece of shit
I honestly can't stop laughing - why is this stupid idea so funny
Here you go:
You're not stupid, just incorrectly informed. And smart enough to question that. That makes you waaaay smarter than the average person.
It's really funny that you've chosen a male name for the only female character
I literally don't understand the relationships in his comment. I simply can't get my head around it
Just an FYI incase they weren't typos but the word you're after in the first and last paragraph is 'loses'; the one in the second para is correct.
I've used very similar techniques on men in bars who don't think no is a complete sentence.
I'm well past the age for shame. I will make a fool of myself if it means some twerp will think twice about harassing a woman who's repeatedly turned them down
I'd never considered doing the same for scammers - great idea! I'm just overly polite and that makes me seem like a target I think.
The way they're referred to being interchangeable does not alter the fact that they're different.
It's worth knowing they're different and checking with a recruiting manager which one they mean. I check because I know people do, incorrectly, think they're the same thing.
It's wise to have both on hand and up to date.
So see your last reference.
Over 20 years I've worked in the federal and local governments, for academia adjacent organisations, NGOs and commercial companies, retail and hospitality, health services - as both a hopeful candidate and a hiring manager.
Different industries require different things and the distinction between the 2 is relevant. It's the white collar roles that expect CVs or will actually make that distinction in the job advertisement. In retail etc they might ask for your cv but they mean a resume. More commercial companies I've worked with just want a resume and they mean a resume. If I submitted a resume for one of my most recent gigs, they'd say that's not enough and ask me for my long form cv.
There is a distinction, it just depends on the industry.
Honestly one of the quickest ways I've found to cool down is to run my wrists under cold water.
And for my dog, wet t-shirts and wet towels tucked under his groin and armpits. I wish he was a water dog (we've tried wading pools, sprinklers etc) but he's not so other than forcing him to drink enough water, I've found he'll tolerate the wet items on him.
I just watched the 2024 NY treat taskmaster episode.
Lenny Rush was a contestant aged 14; Lenny has dwarfism.
I'm a huge fan of this show and when I realised they had a child contestant (for the first time) with a physical disadvantage (they do have older contestants but that's always played for laughs), I wondered how they'd play it.
Spoilers from here on if you'd prefer not to know the result (not that that's what the show is about).
They didn't pander to his age. The tasks were as complicated as usual and the humour was the same.
They stuck to tasks where his height and mobility wouldn't be a disadvantage, and in the final task that usually would have all the contestants on stage, they swapped it so Greg and Alex did all the physical activity.
Lenny won, but completely on merit.
It was such a great example of how small adjustments can be made to include a person who is a genuinely great comic (I can't wait to see how his career develops) irrespective of his physical limitations.
I'm just chuffed that a TV show I loved, didn't pander and didn't discriminate. I laughed just as much and enjoyed the show just as much. No one I know watches this show, so that's why I'm sharing this here.
I think that's what it says but that's the error I'd say I get about 40% of the time when trying to view image posts. Is this a sync thing or something else?
Maybe I'm the only one who didn't know this, but it only just occurred to me to try - and it worked!
I gave it needle size, ply and the garment size I wanted - as well as asking for Australian sizing and instructions (so you'll need to change that for whatever you're used to) and from what I could see it was pretty good. Haven't actually tried it but I may for a small project and see how it goes.
Edit to say that I'm very aware of chatgpts limits (I work in a field where it's being abused) but thought it was an interesting idea. Simplicity would be key. I'd consider myself a beginner this might be a good way of creating small simple projects. Or nonsense! I have bags of cheap wool that I got through my local buy nothing group so I'm always up for a bit of experimentation.
A food blog with hundreds of quick and easy dinner recipes. Classics done right, incredible one pot recipes, Asian takeout at home and holiday feasting!
There's no rules for this sub yet so hopefully this is ok.
Nagi's website 'Recipe tin eats' is my go to for recipes. I've also bought her cookbook Dinner.
Instructions are really clear, lots of Australian specific brand references so you know what she means, and she always lists substitutions for when you don't have or can't find a particular ingredient.
All pages have a 'jump to recipe' button and option to scale for servings. Search is really good for just pulling in an ingredient and seeing what comes up.
She's also super responsive in the comments sections, and I highly recommend signing up for her email newsletter. Her dog Dozer features everywhere as he is chief taste tester.
I wear UGG boots in winter because it's fucking cold.
I also wrap myself in a blanket on the couch, and have a lovely area rug so I don't have to walk on a cold floor. All these things are necessary to survive the winter; my house isn't well insulated.
The problem with all this, is that I build up a static charge. So when I go to pat my beautiful sweetheart of a dog, I zap him. It's audible and I'm sure, quite unpleasant. Often on the head. He obviously doesn't like that, I think he's taking it personally, and I feel awful. It completely cancels out the affection I'm trying to show him.
So the question for the Lemmy community is:
How do I discharge the static before I pat my dog? I have started shocking my partner (which he doesn't like, but accepts over the alternative), before patting my dog. But as he's out tonight, I have no human vessel to offer as tribute?
What can I touch in my house before patting my dog so that he doesn't receive a shock?
Edit: standard Australian house and furniture
Another edit: I'm all the sheets to the wind so the engineering advice is not sinking in. But I'm loving the immediate response that I'd never have gotten on Deaddit.
Again: I can't stop giggling at how helpful everyone is being and how short m, drunk and silly I am, in a house with apparently no metal
And again: I should probably take me and my baby to bed now, but a big thank you to everyone who replied. You've all been lovely. Lemmy is really a different space to ask these questions! I'll be trying out many of your suggestions over the weekend; big thanks from me and my boy x
Final: thanks to everyone who responded. I did try the kitchen tap again last night and this time it worked! Mustn't have built up enough charge when I tried the night I posted. I will still primarily zap my partner's leg as it's usually closer and doing it makes me laugh. It's important he understands where he fits in the household hierarchy as well. I also learnt that American houses are very different (screws and radiators everywhere!) so that was interesting too.
I want to get back into creative writing, and for work I prefer to take handwritten notes (I have my own weird shorthand and it helps with retention). I'd also like the ability to write at night and not disturb my partner.
I don't want to go near iOS and the tablet would be primarily used for writing purposes.
Any recommendations or 'what to avoid's?
Sorry if wrong community, I couldn't find another relevant
I'm looking for recommendations for app based/nice mobile friendly sites (free ideally, but I'd consider subscription) that can help me keep across news in the tech/UX/design space.
I'm somewhat reliant on my LinkedIn (which is such a toilet and usually just ends up annoying me) for news/emerging issues etc that affect my industry - the main reason being I can scroll through and open things of interest.
I've subscribed to newsletters/bookmarked sites but I just never seem to get round to reading them. Countless emails just stack up sitting unread.
My theory is if it's something I can just look through on my phone when I'd otherwise be doomscrolling, that I'll be more likely to read things.
My work is in the content strategy/design space and I'm in Australia - so bonus points if it has relevance to me in that way. Thanks all!
Edit to add - I used to use Twitter too, but you know... Just no.
