Yeah there should be a liner bag in there to make flushing and cleaning easier.

LFG Pumas!!

It really depends on how big your area is and what you mean by changing the climate. You can make your backyard way more pleasant by increasing the plant cover, which will drop temperatures in the summer and provide homes for bugs and animals if you do it right. Fifty acres might be enough for you to notice just a general cooler climate if you replaced mowed grass or farm with a dense forest. It would also help slow evaporation from the soil. But you're not gonna noticably change the amount of rain until you get into land areas comparable to a US state or maybe large city, unless you have very particular geography.

Mustard. Mustard. Mustard.

Ketchup and fries isn't even that good. Mustard and fries is where it's at.

Oooo I would love Jackals v Hounds so the shield can come to Chicago ;P

That end-to-end Georgia try was something special.

Feels kinda like an old skate video. It felt weird at first but I got into it by the end.

Use Ecosia.

Thanks for proving fixed links to the both of you!

The foot soldiers generally don't want to be there. Russia has to use blocking troops to keep them on the front line. You retreat, you get shot by your own guys.

I know everyone has particular things they think are the worst part of war, but stating at a giant flying robot bomb and knowing you have no way to escape or even effectively surrender sounds like hell. Like, how do you tell the operator you want to be taken captive?

Gonna have to change the voting and/or representation system if you want to change the voting strategy. I suggest Approval Voting. It's dead simple and very effective. Vote for everyone you like, and nobody you don't.

Lol, I'm just plain amazed at how fast some people can type. I am touch typing, but I guess I just got slow fingers!

That said, I got 34 wpm and 95% accuracy, which is in line with me using a qwerty or Dvorak physical keyboard. I ain't no Speedy Gonzalez.

I just tried it with my swipe keyboard and the website didn't like it at all. It was double entering words randomly when I would otherwise type fine.

I really can't see anything other than the stock price tanking immediately at the IPO. These people are getting in on the top floor.

You need to use your protests as recruiting grounds for more direct pressure on your government. You should establish or join a lobbying organization and recruit volunteers. You will have these people write letters to the editor, solicit for donations, call and write to your representatives, and schedule in-person meetings with government officials.

Standing on the street and yelling by itself is not enough, you need to become a part of the establishment to affect change, but you can grow your organization by finding people who have proven to be motivated. A protest is a great place for that sort of thing.

Well shit, I wager the vast majority of people didn't know most of that (including myself). I still think the situations aren't a 1:1 comparison, but the Houthi logic is at least more reasonable.

If the infrastructure is key to the war effort, fair game. But like, the nether the Houthis nor the British are directly involved in the Israeli invasion of Palestine. Whereas I'm pretty sure Ukraine–having been invaded by Russia on false pretenses–has limited their targets to inside Ukraine and Russia.

Also, like, terrorism has a definition. The purpose behind Ukrainian attacks are direct military goals, while the Houthis are trying to generate pressure on the international community to drop support for Israel. The Houthis are using bottom-tier logic, but it is fundamentally different from what Ukraine is doing both in terms of actions and reasoning.

I would love to get a 73, but the budget says I should really get a 92. Why can't I have unlimited funds?

The Israel and Palestine situation is way too complicated to be left to "I support Israel." Support in what way? Their existence? Their military campaigns? Their government? Their settlements? Everything they've ever done ever?

Do you then oppose everything done by people from Palestine? Do you then oppose the existence of Palestine?

In my opinion it's not okay to leave your opinion as that simple. If that's all you've got your opinion is bad because it's simplistic, not because it supports a particular side.

......... so long as cocaine is a crime that will always be true.

Doctors really don't like not knowing things, so when they have a well-accepted explanation they don't let go of it very easily.

I haven't watched a lot of Simpsons, but the banner might read Happy Birthday Martin, so, uh, the episode where it's Martin's birthday? But the kids on stretchers reminds me of the one where everyone is having visions thanks to a gas leak?

The Sony meet all your criteria. The Bose are expensive but you can get them on sale for $200 occasionally, and they have an optional AUX wire so you can still listen if the battery dies.

Oh fucking hell

If this pans out it'll be insane.

They somehow managed to force me to add my email. I don't remember how.

What's up with that hallway though? Mega wide.

A

There's plenty of opportunity to get water during the normal course of a game, there's no need for water breaks. The MLR introduced them in order to show commercials and for no other reason.

Well shit.

SHIT.

I blame God. God clearly interfered and caused that knock-on so that I, specifically wouldn't get the trifecta over my grandmother.

Yeah I mean, that's a 14 point swing on one bad decision. It's pretty hard to make up for that if you need every point you can get.

My grandmother and I are betting on today's games. I let her pick which teams are hers since it would be unfair if I picked. She's picked Chile, Scotland, and Wales. I like my chances for at least 2 out of 3, but I have my fingers crossed for a sweep. She correctly picked France for the opener and we didn't bet on yesterday's games.

I'm late, but I'm here! I have no idea who's who but that's okay.

If you consider not being able to switch phones at your own leisure an advantage, well.... eSIM has that going for it.

Entirely ignoring who is at burning man or why, I honestly think there needs to be a line somewhere for sympathy. If you truck yourself out into the desert and things go tits up, well, shit happens. That's the risk you took.

I say this as a person who used to ride motorcycles, rock climb, and go backpacking. If shit ever went down I wouldn't have expected any sympathy. I put myself in those risky situations, and there's just plain gotta be a line for personal responsibility.

With all that being said, when such a massive group of people continuely take the same risk over and over, it's kinda funny when they finally get bit. It's the same reason COVID denires getting COVID is funny.

Honestly, I have no idea what mine is set to, and the average user won't either. Just messing with the settings is borderline power user stuff these days, when you factor in the general public. I did something with my settings the day I installed and I haven't looked back.

That being said, a lemmy sub for Firefox ain't exactly a representative sample of the general population.

There's still gender discrimination in bars, what with lady's nights offering discounts to women but not men, but everyone would hate the person who tried to push that lawsuit through the courts. I know at least one person already has tried, and their case got thrown out.

Edit: I should say, obviously that's not on the scale that it used to be, and it's in the opposite direction, but you know, unnecessary gender discrimination is bad.

What's the context here?
