You think that's bad? My mother-in-law takes it congratulations, then drowns it in A1. She also thinks Pepsi is appropriate hydration. I don't think I've ever seen her drink just a glass of water. If there's even the slightest hint of spiciness in anything, it's completely inedible.
Don't get me wrong. I love her to death, but she has questionable taste.
As for me, I'm a medium rare type, but I'm known to order mine rare from time to time when she's out eating with us. Just to bring some balance to the table.

Cheetahs have always been my favorite. It's not that they're the fastest land animal that fascinates me, but how. Dogs are so funny to watch run because they're so goofy, but even the fastest dogs get going maybe 40 miles an hour. They spend a lot of time off the ground in their stride. And if you're not in contact with the ground, you're slowing down. Cheetahs keep their strides very low to the ground and spend little time in the air. Additionally, their long, muscular, flexible spine allows them to treat it kind of like a leaf spring. And the long tails are gorgeous.
And if that wasn't enough, they meow and purr, too.

I think today marks the anniversary of a coup led by Augusto Pinochet to overthrow the democratically elected Chilean government led by Salvador Allende, who was the first Marxist to be elected president in a Latin American democracy. The CIA investigated itself using declassified documents and determined no wrongdoing. Just that it "appeared to condone" the coup, but found "no evidence" of any participation, which means the United States definitely participated to some extent in the rise to power of a ruthless autocrat who disappeared or executed thousands of people and interred and tortured tens of thousands more over nearly two decades.
Or something like that.

iirc, PlayStations in Japan flip the functions of X and Circle around. Circle is generally an "accept" button while X is generally a "back/cancel" button. Now I heard this many years ago so it may not be true anymore.
I think it makes sense when you consider where A and B are on the SNES controller. And it also makes sense for them to have moved back to the right face button (in the US) when you consider the Xbox 360 released a year prior to the PS3 and was kind of a runaway success.

Between my brother, a mutual friend, and myself, we have over 1,800 collective hours in Borderlands 2. That was probably my favorite game for about 5 years. It's fun enough on your own, but the game gets a million times between with co-op.
I thought the Pre-Sequel was pretty good. The low grav mechanic was a fun addition, and the moon being populated by Aussies was a nice touch. Borderlands 3 was kinda meh. We all had high hopes for it. It's a pretty good game, but its greatest weakness is that Borderlands 2 exists.
This thread has convinced me to play Outer Wilds. My picks are: - Game: Portal 2. - Book: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. - TV show: Bojack Horseman. - Movie: The Shawshank Redemption.

Not how my experience went. You read the books, you got the points, and (assuming you were doing well in every other aspect of the class), you got an A. But if you struggled with reading (as I did in school), you got poor grades despite the fact that your grammar, writing, and spelling were otherwise excellent. Very rarely did I get a teacher who rewarded reading; most of them punished my failure to read.

My first job out of college was in a hospital. When you see doctors outside of their own setting, you quickly realize that >90% of them are pretty stupid at literally everything else. I was an accountant processing travel reimbursements for business-related professional expenses (mostly vacations disguised as conferences and workshops for CMEs) and many of them just could NOT understand why they weren't allowed to claim alcohol on their travel reimbursements. Literally, the IRS will not allow it. And even if it did, state law forbids it, too. Sometimes, I got angry emails because they couldn't claim miles for taking a detour to visit a relative before going to their destination after I adjusted it as if they drove directly from work to the airport. Shit like that. I was good friends with the IT guy there and he had many similar gripes. Most of his job was arriving on-site to plug machines in because they swore up and down on the phone that the machine was plugged in.
I'm convinced the majority of doctors are just average intelligence people who spent a decade practicing and mastering a skill. That's it. Anyone can be a doctor if they can be allowed into med school and sink the time and effort into becoming one.

Amongst my siblings, none of us is shorter than 5'10. My sister is dating a man who is 5'6. They're so cute together, but I felt so bad when I first met the guy because I wasn't expecting him to be that short. So I opened the door and looked right over the poor fella.

Was this made by my wife? Are you her? She really has to know all the minutiae of the flow before deciding whether it's worth going with.
Not a dig at her, btw. It can be frustrating to deal with in the moment (I'm more go with the flow than she is), but when we get there and everything goes smoothly, I genuinely appreciate her already having it figured out.

For those who don't know, Martian solar eclipses suck compared to ours. The near equal relative size of the sun and moon to Earth is why we get such awesome eclipses.

Idk about you, but I feel a great sense of freedom using Linux.
In terms of "many versions," my advice: Mint if you loved the Windows UI, Ubuntu if you want regular updates, Debian if you want rock solid reliability. That's it. That's all you need to know if you're new to Linux. Skip everything else until you're comfy, or if you like it, stay a while. There is nothing wrong with either of the three. You'll learn to hate Snap on Ubuntu, and once you do, just install Debian.

My school is in a nicer town tucked away in the armpit of Southwest Oklahoma. The library was actually quite well stocked and had lots of books in the system. We even had two copies of all the Harry Potter books. Side note: One year, I heard the movies were pretty faithful to the source material so I watched a few of them and did really well one year because of it. We had a copy of Tolstoy's War and Peace, which was worth a whopping 118 points and I'm sure was never touched. I'm sure it's still in there. There were a whole two shelves stacked full of Louis L'Amour, and I had a western kick in the 10th grade so that was convenient. I liked Bendigo Shafter and Comstock Lode. The Walking Drum is also a good book.
My suggestion would be that instead of tying AR points to kids' grades, create a rewards system to incentivize reading. I can't speed read, and the pressure of being on a time crunch for something that negatively impacts my grade if I can't finish on time was always disheartening and took away from any joy I could have derived from books. Most of the kids in my class could finish one or two books in a school week. My wife will tear through one in a day or two. A similar book is a 10-14 day minimum investment for me. I've learned to accept that about myself in adulthood, but man, it really made me feel terrible in school because English, language, writing, spelling, and related subjects were always some of my favorites. Always being behind my peers because of my reading soured the experience for a long time.

I don't know if this is an ADHD thing or just not liking being told what to do (perhaps some of Column A, little of Column B), but god did I hate reading when I was made to in school. I'll spend hours reading Wikipedia articles on some niche shit. I've spent plenty of time reading books I liked on my own time. But meeting my Accelerated Reader points goals was always a slog, and I've grown to really resent the system.

![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/4a93d8b5-f9ef-47cd-92c2-3b009903ce75.jpeg) The left door handle has been cracked ever since I got the car so this was coming sooner or later. A year of daily use ain't bad. Still, it came as a shock when, last Wednesday, I grabbed the handle, and the door didn't come open. I'm a big dude (tall *and* fat), and there wasn't room on the other wall to climb in through the passenger side. Somehow, I passed the acrobatics check it took to climb through the trunk and into the front seat. And I didn't hurt my back at 32 years old. Truly a feat to behold. I've already bought a handle, but it won't be in til Thursday. I could run around with it like this for a week, but I'm not gonna. Which means I'll be driving my wife's cargo ship for a few days.
For a few minutes anyway. Then it was back to his regularly scheduled chaos.
Hello, fellow aging millennials.
It was like 102 degrees (~39°C) yesterday evening (and about as humid as Vietnam), but he was ***SOOOOOO BORED.*** So I got him out of the house. He made it eleven feet into the park, pooped, and immediately went to the pool afterwards to wait for me to fill it.
In case you can't tell, I like indie rock.
~Disclaimer: Don't actually do this.~
Well no matter what it is, all he knows is that he loves you, and he's gotta make sure you know.
Meet Sherlock. He's about 1½ years old and weighs 70 pounds. This guy spent two hours bouncing all over the four-acre dog park, and *still* wanted to play once we got home. We get asked all the time what he is. My wife sent off a DNA kit so maybe we'll have an idea in a couple weeks. I'm pretty sure those ears pick up shortwave radio. We adopted him in August. Here he is the day we took him home. ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/48ac93e5-389d-40a9-bdd5-f357d7d3aee0.jpeg) He's really intelligent. He knows a lot of commands. Most of them he does right away, but he's not always so eager to please. You just have to show him that no matter how stubborn he is, you're even more stubborn. He gets there soon enough.
