I've got a foldable to deal with being on call as a sysadmin and it's so much better than lugging o laptop around. The more screen I can fit in my pocket, the better.

My 18 year old sphynx, Hairry, had congestive heart failure last Sunday, but I got him to a vet in time for them to help. He's doing well on medications and I get some extra time with him.
The vet was an ordeal as their initial diagnosis was lymphoma and were going to give steroids. A friend that works there offered to come in on her day off, made them wait for radiology to report back, and figured out it was heart failure. If they had given him steroids, it would probably have killed him, so I'm extra grateful she gave him some extra attention and care. He still had to stay in an oxygenated kennel for a day and a half as the meds cleared the fluid from around his heart and out of his lungs.

The users at lemmy.world basically already drove the mods in that community to suggest vegan communities on other instances to basically not have to put up with the rest of lemmy.world. It's a dead community walking and the whole ordeal convinced me to block .world. I've seen less content, but damn has my experience on Lemmy gotten a whole lot better.

Corporations are more powerful than they've ever been and fewer people have the option to contribute to FOSS. FOSS has also been coopted by corporations (see elastic search, redis, or any crippled product whose FOSS version doesn't do shit and is just used to market to people who think it's important). I don't think FOSS has outlived its usefulness, it's just very difficult to drum up the amount of work it takes to support it on a worldwide scale, but forcing financial support with the contracts mentioned in the article is just a way for corporations to have even more say in how FOSS is developed (or not developed). He mentions several examples of corporations screwing over the FOSS community and he wants more of their influence? It doesn't seem like a great idea to me even if it seems convenient short term.

I love Labyrinth. Did you know there was a sequel of sorts (and not the movie that is rumored)? It was a manga (an odd format considering it contained songs). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_to_Labyrinth Be warned that it's not that great if you decide to seek it out.

Hobbies, sure. But specialization comes with tools and learning that generalists don't have, couldn't possibly afford, and would be a ridiculous amount of things to store and knowledge to remember. E.g. I don't want to do my own dentistry and I'd prefer an expert for that. Dentistry in the US requires a whole medical degree, specialized tools, etc. I also don't own the equipment nor have the knowledge to find and drill a well if I want to be "self sufficient".
You don't have to be an expert, and that can be very freeing, but we do need them and becoming an expert has opportunity costs. That doesn't mean experts are shallow or becoming a generalist is deep or morally better nor does it mean generalists are in any way insufficient.

Ok, but cherries and apples aren't native; colonists introduced them. I think the pawpaw is the only native tree with edible fruit and you already listed it.

It's not native but I remember my grandparents had a pear tree that did well and stayed relatively small in Eastern PA.
And if space is the only issue for the cherries, you could look into Espalier, training it to grow flat against a wall or fence.

I play boardgames where there are enough moving parts that replacing some with software improves them tremendously. Gloomhaven and Frosthaven have a bunch of tools for them to help setup, combat, track campaigns, etc., and they help tremendously.
There is nothing like that for Shadows of Brimstone. For a lot of things, there's just too much data. I tried to make a script that automated the travel phase after missions which was pick the size of town, determine the number of hazards based on the number of characters and size of town, pick out the hazards, and display each in turn. The amount of text in it was just too much to be worth it. But even being able to replace the scavenge deck, loot deck, and exploration tokens would free up some table space and they're less than a dozen possible outcomes each with only a small amount of text.
I'm sure there are other popular games that would be more conducive to having complexity automated. Finding one that won't send a cease and desist might be a challenge, though.

Many recipients of the demifacectomy are able to return to normal lives after the procedure. With their growing numbers, some are even finding relationship success on social media communities like those on fabook.com, a Facebook like site that kept only half the face in its name and its users.
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!
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.

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](https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20021104).
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.
When I was doing some cleanup and running into enemies in old areas, it made me realize how slow combat is and why. If you have timed blocks, it has to be slow to give players time to react to attacks, so every enemy attack animation ends up being long and they all add up.
