The best thing in that game was curling up on a library shelf.

What non allergenic vegan sexual protection exists? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nitrile is a synthetic made from hydrocarbons. The lubricant is also synthetic and mentioned in the FAQ. If that's not certain enough for you, I'm not a provider of vegan certification and you'll have to make that call for yourself. Or contact the company that makes them.

Firefly Grindr.

(Upon actually looking this up, there are some species where females can fly, they just suck at it apparently.)

How else are you going to open your files in nano to do the programming on the prod server?

My 18 year old sphynx, Hairry, is doing well in his recovery from heart failure. Not as active as he used to be, but his appetite and thirst are at reasonable levels again and he's able and willing to move with the sunbeams across the house.

Sounds like a Cowboy Bebop episode involving smuggled fissile material.

Could pawpaw, the US-native fruit, become the new kiwi or mango? in c/sustainableliving

Ah, missed that, thank you for pointing it out!

I don't consider people that consume gelatin or fish oil vegetarian and I'm not sure why this chart does. Maybe its creator meet too many of those people that consider fish a vegetable and say vegetarian when they mean pescatarian.

It's not mentioned in the article, but the reason the pawpaw isn't more widespread is because it doesn't ship or keep well. Several years ago there were some attempts to get it distributed by freezing it and it sounds like a lot of the uses in the article are as an ingredient in something else.

Hunting and fishing are for psychopaths (programming.dev)
 

I'm not talking about the consumption of animals here, to be clear. What I'm talking about is spending days and a bunch of money planning to kill something, doing the killing, and skinning/eviscerating what was killed, and often displaying the stuffed corpse. Hunters and fishers refuse to admit they're obsessed with taking pleasure in killing something.

Miss me with the "tradition" stuff, it's just peer pressure from the dead and a fallacious argument. Don't tell me it's to eat, like I said, I'm not talking about the consumption here, so please prove to me you are literate by not bringing up that point. And don't tell me you're respectful to the animals you kill; I don't believe the planning, stalking, and killing is a good way to show respect.

Looks like the hasn't made any crosswords for a while but the old ones are still available. Link goes to the themed ones and there's links to online versions in each post. Enjoy!

Knives go in the dishwasher and get sharpened with a pull through sharpener (programming.dev)
 

My tools serve me, not the other way around. It's not worth the time and effort to wash by hand or sharpen on a whetstone. I don't need an expensive knife to cook at home. A pull through sharpener and honing steel are adequate. Get the right material and you don't have to worry about the metal in the dishwasher.

[Request] Make blocked users not show up in inbox and profile views (programming.dev)
 

Blocking a user hides their content in comments, but it still shows up in inbox when viewing all as well as in comment chains in the profile view. It would be great if blocked users didn't show up in these places.

Let me know if there's more info needed.

Rabid Wombat - Kaja Foglio (programming.dev)
 

I still remember this card and its artwork. Holy moly, the date on it is 30 years ago.

The Foglios have been involved in quite a few projects over the years and it took a while for me to make the link between this card and Girl Genius.

Coop Board game Shadows of Brimstone (boardgamegeek.com)
 

Western setting where a new gold rush for dark stone pits gunslingers, lawmen, saloon girls, etc against tentacles, the undead, mutated gangsters, snakemen, and lost technology as they travel between worlds.

It's coop and there are different missions, most of which have randomly generated maps that are created from a deck on you explore, giving it endless replayability. Characters gain experience, skill, and gear but also can become injured or mutate (nothing the church or surgeon in town can't fix for a price).

It also has tons of expansions. While the physical games add up in cost and require a lot of organizing, you can give it a try on tabletop simulator.

There's even a Japanese themed set that can combine with the Western ones.
