That sounds dope. I'll see if the Korean chains around me have it.

Just never watched a lot of movies. My friends keep assigning movies but I never seem to get around to it.

I am not. Never seen it and never heard of her - I'm here from /all.

Thank you.

Thank you very much - I appreciate it. I have perused the anarchist library but only shallowly. There's so much to read from each of these groups!

Woah, that Posadas guy sounds like a weirdo. I suppose none of the theorists are free from being flawed humans like the rest of us.

I like your suggestion.

[–] clay_pidgin 5 points 1 day ago

I very much appreciate your (and everyone's) generous replies.

I see so much waste in the consumer world and I hate it. From little stuff like "why does every house in my neighborhood need a lawn mower and a crockpot and camping equipment - we could easily timeshare it" to being forced by urban planning to choose individual cars over public transit and sharing rides.

Thank you very much for the leads - I'll follow them and see where I end up.

That's definitely been my (m) experience with my wife. Only one data point doesn't make a trend, I know. When she's irritated or anxious, she rarely wants me to try to solve the problem.

I saw a meme of a chat convo with one partner complaining about something and the other responding "are we in the venting phase or are we solution oriented?" (Paraphrasing due to bad memory.)

I've started asking that (more nicely) and it has been great for our relationship. She accepts the annoyance of my asking, and I respect her answer. Only when/if she says "and now you can give me suggestions" do I indulge.

I'm also reminded of the "it's not about the nail" sketch. https://youtu.be/-4EDhdAHrOg

You seem like a knowledgeable person, so I'll bother you with an unsolicited question! Congratulations, do not resist.

I have read a lot that I like about anarchism, socialism, communism, and other -isms. It feels worthwhile to narrow down my own leftist identity, but I'm struggling with how to do that.

I feel like it might be necessary to identify both my ideal society, and the most reasonably achievable one towards which to work. Any tips?

[–] clay_pidgin 3 points 2 days ago

Sounds like a winner! Most every carb is amazing.

You're quite right, professor. I'll start the grant application right away!

Hi,

Clicked on the link in this comment and connect pops up a little "API error" notification at the bottom, and backs out of the post.

It looks like connect is trying to open the link as if it were linked to another community?

Howdy,

I have been experiencing annoying brief skips, like on a bumped CD player, with my media players. Replaying the same song or same part of the song does not have the skips, so I don't think it's the files' fault.

Had the same problem in Elisa and VLC. I don't watch much local video, but streaming audio and video doesn't have this problem for me.

Watching the system monitor I see I have 10 Gb of free memory and only 5-10% CPU utilization.

System is Debian 12 with KDE and Xwindows. (Wayland doesn't like my Nvidia 1070)

Any suggestion for how to troubleshoot would be appreciated. I tried downloading more memory but that didn't help!

 

I've only bought the pan a week ago and used it three times. Hot dogs, eggs, and steak.

When I'm done I clean it with a scrubby sponge and once with a little bit of detergent, then put it on the stove to dry quickly. Then while it's hot I smear maybe a teaspoon of vegetable oil on it with a paper towel "brush".

In between uses it's wet with oil, as you can see in the picture. How much residual oil should there be? I had the impression that it would be dryer.

Also, how much should I scrub? I am not going to leave crust of beef on there, but I also don't think it's supposed to be scrubbed back to new smoothness.

 

I forget medical info all the time. When was my last dentist visit? I dunno. Which kid had their tonsils out? What's my blood type?

Wife asks "remember when I had strep last year?" No...

Has anyone in my house had COVID? I think so, but which one(s)?

I forget vacations we took, what states I've been to.

Terrible at remembering people that I've met even a bunch of times.

Horrible at work. I'm on top of what's happening now, mostly, because I have notes, but what happened a year ago? Gosh.

It's really frustrating living like this, but I don't know how much might be my ADHD and how much is just me having a bad brain.

 

For example, this one. https://lemmyverse.link/lazysoci.al/post/26817260

Yesterday's parade and Turquoise carpet was my first good look at many of the participants. Lots of them have really remarkable outfits.

The commentary wasn't very interesting, but I'm not all the way through yet and country #1 Australia hasn't reached the venue and interview area yet. for me.

I was really heartened to see so many Pride and Palestine flags in addition to all the national flags.

When Israel's delegation was announced there was some really noticeable booing! The crowd was chanting something but I couldn't make it out. Can anyone with better ears help me out?

 

A trans parent would likely still want to be called "Mom" or "Dad", I assume. At least that's the case with the few trans parents I know.

Parents don't usually use "daughter" or "son" as pronouns, so I don't think it would come up with non-binary children.

Do children of non-binary parents call their parents by their first name? It seems unlikely that they say "Parent, may I please have more screen time?".

I've got an extra tall living room, and without a 15' ladder there's no way I can actuate the pull down shades. I would be annoyed to have to climb up to change batteries a few times a year. What I would ideally want are some kind of window shade or blinds with a remote or HA controllable, and a little solar panel to collect the juicy rays of the sun.

I have found hard wired shades, battery powered shades with remotes, and zigbee etc shades, but not exactly what I'm looking for.

Any suggestions?

I don't actually HAVE any automation at home beyond some hated Alexas, but these shades would be a great place to start.

Thanks in advance.

 

This was really fun. 350 chapters I burned through in ten days. The main character is a standard dungeon mimic (like from D&D) that gets lucky and becomes ridiculously OP by the end of the book. It's got lots of interesting characters, and I really enjoyed reading a book where the protagonist is not good aligned at all. I suppose Boxxy T. Morningwood (the T stands for Trap) would be chaotic evil?

There is some definitely NSFW stuff, but Boxxy is itself genderless and asexual, so it's not like a lame harem story.

There's tons of commissioned and fan art linked in the chapters and more on the author's discord.

Let me know if you read it! I'd be interested to hear your opinions.

 

I have had the problem several times where I search for a post or comment that I know exists, but because I've got "hide after vote" enabled, it doesn't show up in search results. It's there a way to see hidden posts/comments in the search results?
