DrawExpress is very intuitive to use on a phone, but the files may not be editable in other software. It exports as SVG, PNG, or pdf.

This reminds me of the time, in college, when a Christian fellowship leader gave us all a list of alternatives to sex, including

1. Passing chocolate from mouth to mouth
2. Naked wrestling...

Real men in tights

The map from the third is the "circumstances" of the first two. Or the "results". First two just theorists, I guess.

When you can't be the winningest. It's like giving yourself an A for effort.

Laying the groundwork for post election

We need orphan technology program like for orphan drugs. I can't imagine it would be very costly to keep this one woman's device running, but it does take someone somewhere being responsible for it.

Maybe this is normal, but I just learned last week that in Washington, if a candidate has lost the open primary they cannot be a write in candidate.

Greek autopsia "a seeing with one's own eyes,"

So I guess it works regardless of species. Though I'm not sure I believe this. Like how else did ancient Greeks see?

I'm something of a rewilder myself, and I have to say, even in the PNW, establishing native plants takes a lot of water the first few summers at least. Maybe not as much as a lush green lawn all summer, but that's not the standard in my neighborhood anyway.

Plant in Fall and start from the shady areas, creating more shady areas as you go. Mulch with leaves if possible, or chip drop if not. Still a lot more fun than mowing.

"The communities have to identify what their needs are first and that takes some time," he said. "Then let us know what they need so we can try and source it for them." -- the county agencies, who did not request assistance from the state at any time

The damage is not over 3 days after a storm. They don't even know what they need yet.

This was Catholicism. He's a smart guy and I'm pretty sure he figured it out. Did not become a priest, though, so maybe his mom was right.

I don't see anything in the Biden bill about deporting people who have been living in the US for any amount of time. It seems to be all about quickly turning around new migrants during "surges" and changes to the way new cases are handled. I'm not saying I support the bill, but it does not seem to be a mass deportation bill. Tell me if I'm wrong.

My grandma in the 30s had to hide all evidence of menstruation from just one of her two younger brothers, the explanation being he was intended for the priesthood. I'm not saying it makes sense.

Except I think it's interesting this was not generalizable. The Spanish were looking for people, just different people at first. Cortez for example landed and immediately "employed" hundreds of native people to come up with some wealth to pay off the exploration debt. The friars were specifically there to convert people to Catholicism.

The British puritans were looking to build their personal Utopia, but the Spanish and others, it seems to me, were looking for a populated colony from the start.

This is a tragedy

This is unfortunately not a contest between genocide and no genocide.

True, though, bushtits are ferocious.

6,000 Costco customers have signed a petition saying they will cancel their membership if the retailer starts selling the pills.

That's not very many-- how do we sign up on the other side?

I saw a local one advertised on nextdoor and I went to the site because there are rules for advertisers on that app and I wanted to complain. It is exactly as I'd heard-- telling people there's no reason to be seen quickly and will not be given appointment within two weeks, calling themselves a clinic but no statement of any medical service. But they said so little about what they actually do that I couldn't find any good grounds for complaint to the app as also the app's own content categories, "health" or something, was too vague to be considered misleading. I complained anyway that they were promoting pseudo medicine and political activity, but didn't get a reply.

The fact is human lives are being culled right now and will be increasingly over the next decades by the rapid changes coming to the environment and the scarcity fears, looting, and displacement that follows. Even if you choose to ignore the deaths that aren't in the West, as if they aren't related to your current quality of life, soon enough you will start to see the destruction right in front of you.

What activists are saying is that a lot of this death can be avoided if those in power, corporately and governmentally, are willing to do more than is legally or traditionally required of them. This takes more willpower than the average politician or CEO can muster on their own and this is where activists work to put pressure on one side of the equation and the enthusiasm of the people on the other to drive the radical decisions that are needed to confront the crisis.

That's no moon...

This is the truth. Not even a full grown person, not even your just-born child, no one can compel you to give your blood to save their life much less to keep them alive inside your own body for nine months.

If they think a fetus has the same right to life as any person, they are free to help it survive using their own resources, just get it the fuck out of my body first.

I like this game, but even with the genre hints it's often very hard. It takes a bit to get into the habit of just taking a stab at it.

I think getting more hints, in words or images, in response to guesses would increase the interest.

The more challenges the better IMO because we all have different music taste and knowledge so many challenges I have little hope of guessing. But would still be interesting if there was more back and forth. I wouldn't mind challenges lasting longer if the op would give clues because then even in a genre I don't know well I could learn something new.

I don't expect things to move very quickly as I only check things twice a day or so myself. I like the idea of browsing through a bunch of unsolved games to find one that I have a guess for, I don't care how long they've been up, and as poster I don't mind responding to old games, or if I get tired of it can always post the answer.

I have three suggestions: Longer time, maybe a week, before posting answer.

List of songs already played (not that you should never reuse one, but in some ways this is helpful and inspiring to those who might post a challenge). Not all of the Lemmy apps have ability to search within a community.

Don't just reply "Nope" if you've got time to be a little more helpful--the game is hard.

Yeah, I hadn't heard of it, but it looks really cool. Gonna have to try that out.

I can't deny they've done a good job of reaching out to traditional Republicans. You can call them liars all you want and I agree but what matters is who was on stage. Maga isn't worried and the suburban "I'm not racists" think there is a moral center to the party.

I use osmand on Android. Bit of a leaning curve to start as you need to download the maps you want and set up features, but then it is available offline as well and can include topographical and trails or other data if you're not just traveling in cities.

I thought the Tomorrow War was super clear.

The other complication is that the second map is so potato you can't see what color the smaller dots are and I think it gives overall a bluer impression than it would at higher quality.

I feel much better, thank you

They want money to build sea defenses to protect their cliffside homes from landslides, which is so far reserved for more high-value areas. I'm sympathetic, but this

"But there's no way anybody could have anticipated these losses 15, even 10 years ago." is something we're never going to stop hearing, because we've already been hearing it for 10-15 years. Consider this messy alternative that started in 2005.

People will always choose to defend, and continue to build and improve and invest right up to the end, making the eventual damage more costly and chaotic. Something that happens once here and there, maybe we can get away with that, but if the whole coast is going to sink at once, we have to be more responsible or we simply won't be able to afford the consequences.

The quote/decision from the organization is a year old and presumably what the vote was hoping to overturn. The article confuses by telling the story backward.

This led me down a rabbit hole about conscientious objector status and how, if your objection to cruelty extends to fellow humans, you need to be prepared to opt out of the military long before any draft and there are organizations to advise on this process. Thanks for sharing.

The way they are so evenly situated, I think they are just putting a population-proportioned dot in the center of each county. In meant states, counties are pretty much equal sized squares with varying amounts of people in them.

They are probably coloring whole counties, where the second map just makes a dot for each country proportional to population.

Never-nesters, empty-nesters, and second marriages combined. It would be interesting to trace cohorts through time.

No bingo. Guess I'm just not trying hard enough.

If you want to see the sun rise Honey, I know where We'll go out and see it sometime We'll both just sit there and stare Me with my belt wrapped around my head And you just sittin' there In your brand new leopard-skin pillbox hat

Tall-shaming, too, tsk tsk

Does it still count if there's nothing left to shoot?
