Thinking back to my middle school days, it’s entirely possible there janitor never rollerskated on the roof, the administration had no plans to fire him, but the students were still prowling around threatening violence over it 🤣

Even more so, it’s turned into a hot button topic where people will be actively pissed of at you if you try to bring it up in discussion, calling it a “dog whistle” for nazi / anti-women ideology.

Hey, I text sometimes!

I went on a deployment, got a nice gaming laptop for that. When I got home back to my desktop, I basically had no need for it so I hooked it up to my living room TV. At first I just played some controller friendly games on it, but now I use it as the entire media center with Stremio and qbittorrent and the likes. I use unified remote to have my phone as the remote.

That’s funny, I saw that first comment by toiute in the wild and thought it was really strange. Lemmy seems like such a waste of time as a platform to promote scams. Very low population (relative to other social media) and a mostly tech-savvy crowd.

Good work! Glad to know

Aw nice 👍

Does anyone have links to their videos? News sites never actually post sources :(

Yeah I’d guess some sort of shared but relaxed apartment gym too. Looks a lot like mine, and too sparse to be a paid gym

Wow I’ve always just thought it just backwards as a design feature. I wore a NATO / OTAN patch for a year 😂

They could worry about regulating the industry to prevent exploitation and trafficking, but God knows they’ll keep their hands out of that

Just in case anybody doesn’t know, if you’re a US or Canada veteran, solidworks is $20 a year

When I get deja vu, it feels to me like I’ve dreamt of whatever is happening before, I’ve always pretty easily been able to say “oh it’s just deja vu” and move on.

But once, I woke up and told my wife about a strange dream involving very specific details of a situation with me and my brother. Along the lines of my brother throwing a beer can, it bounced off the trash can, bounced off me, then back into the trash can.

A few days later, my brother did exactly that. I was dumbstruck, even my wife was like “what the hell”

I’ve heard of polyphia but never listened to them. The fact you recommended them next to Snarky Puppy was what got me to look them up, and WOW!

Yes, 24, army taught me on deployment. It was fun! I’m tempted to get a manual on my next car, but I’d like my wife to be able to use it :P

Holy crap everything you were saying was hitting word chords in me, so relatable, then you said Monticello. I just moved to Earl Park, was going to have to decide between Century Link and satellite, then Mainstream came through like a week before I closed on the house and installed cheap fast fiber.

Yeah the sentiment surrounding vapes generally is that they’re better than cigarettes. Most people still want to entirely quit vaping, quit nicotine altogether.

Unfortunately, vapes are super enticing to younger people. Even ignoring the underage market entirely, young people love vaping. I’m in the army, so maybe my demographics are skewed, but EVERYBODY is vaping super high nicotine disposable vapes these days.

When I first started vaping, nicotine concrentations were commonly 3 or 6 mg/ml, now 50mg/ml is common.

It took me a while. Once I was in shape, didn’t get horribly sore, could hit impressive PR’s, and saw undeniable results. That’s when I switched from “ugh gotta go to the gym” to “hell yes time to tear it up at the gym”

I think seeing the massive pattern of progress without dealing with the soreness is what I need to enjoy it.

I agree, at least with Google you get maps, timeline, a password manager, photos, drive, an entire suite of Microsoft office-like software, streamlined 2FA on my pixel phone (just pops up on screen, no text or email needs sending), etc. If I have to strike a deal with a devil, I may as well choose the useful devil.
