I could probably handle a handle of beans in a day, but I’m not sure if it’ll go as well if I keep forgetting to pour out the vodka before beaning the handle

Elite: Dangerous, the space ship game with a life-size universe. 1200 hours so far in 6 years. No real story, no campaign, just you, random players, and a trillion planets to find. Or perhaps you’d rather blast pirates. Maybe scrounge around for some plant scans. Whatever you like, I hope you also like 30 minutes of travel time because “fast travel” on an interstellar scale is humanly slow. Plus, it’s huge. All star systems are known, but few are visited. Visited divided by know, times total game existence predicts we’ll have it all mapped in 45,000 years.

But at the end of the day, it’s all about listening to lovely spaceship sounds. Graphics are nice. Sound is amazing.

Presidents are men. Legislators are predominantly men. Representatives are predominantly men. Movie writers are predominantly men. Cartoon writers are predominantly men. Religious figures are predominantly men. Podcasters are predominantly men. Business executives are predominantly men. Doctors are predominantly men. PhDs are predominantly men. Police are predominantly men.

Homeowners are predominantly men. Vehicle owners are predominantly men. Earners in single-income households are predominantly men.

Violent criminals are predominantly men. Nonviolent criminals are predominantly men.

You are not the victim of feminism. You are in a country run by men, for men. Successful men are telling you “men can’t be successful” because of other citizens asking for equality. Successful male podcasters are telling you women are the problem while they profit off your viewership, promising to guide you to success. Successful male politicians are telling you being a man is a problem while actively eroding supportive programs as they profit off your vote, promising to fix the system. Would you trust financial advice from a loan shark? No, you’d assume the loan shark wants to keep you as a payday loan customer. These men are doing the same.

Men are not uniquely in jeopardy in the US. All citizens are. The country was a manufacturing superpower through the 1960s because they other industrialized nations were still rebuilding from being bombed. Once the others rebuilt, the US was only competitive, not dominative. Once transportation and logistics hit a point where global trade was truly reasonable, these countries all moved to exploit poor nations. This wasn’t an accident, this wasn’t a surprise. This was a calculated profiteering move by men. You are not the problem because you have a penis. You are the victim of multiple systems designed to keep you down, all while blaming someone else stuck in the same sinking ship. They’ll tell you China stole manufacturing when it was companies that gave it away. They’ll tell you illegal immigrants stole your job when it was business owners that knowingly hired undocs for less than minimum wage. They’ll tell you America was great in the 1950s and 1960s when it was the only industrial power not bombed in the 40s. They’ll tell you the economic decline from the 1980s was the globe’s doing when Americans specifically caused it.

I am sure your post was not deleted as anti-usa, but as pro-manosphere superficially put in a post about international studies. That smells like a bad-faith post. Those get deleted here, too. Sure, you can go pick a different instance and hop until you find that echo chamber again.

But ask yourself.
Who is the problem?
Who told you they’re the problem?
What doea that person stand to gain from that belief?

On android, I use Aurora Notifier for general alerts as well as user-reported sightings shown as dots on the map. I also use Aurora (Pro) for a nice map with current prediction overlay. I’ve gotten many alerts over the last ~2 years with very little viajble activity over my lower attitude. However, the notice that paired with the 10/10/24 event was about substorms. Those give ~30 minute warning.

Whatever you do, there’s a lot of false alarms. We’re headed back to a lower activity part of the solar cycle, but I’m still eager to keep an eye out because it’s still ~5 years before it comes back up to the current activity level.

The data used to create that image of the black hole had a transfer speed of 14GB/s because ~700TB of it was captured in Antarctica and spent 14 hours traveling by plane

Median class? Mode class?

It’s 84 in dog years though

That’s very fair. Not necessarily the screen itself or the mental effects, but the associated activities. I commented a bit blindly because I’m locked into a screentime lifestyle. Can’t do my job without 8 hours at a screen and the cheapest hobbies tend to be on another screen. I forget what I’ve had to incorporate into my habits to fight that sedentarianism. I’m still not great at avoiding it.

Are screens bad or are the primary ideas about screen time based on when screens solely offered content to consume without interaction?

Is there lint packed into the bottom of the port? It’s not just dust on the contacts making a bad connection, it’s dust shoved into the bottom physically preventing the plug from inserting fully. I out my faith in smart ports and use the metal Sim eject tool, alternating with air. Canned air is best, but I’ve done just fine with a hard cheek-loaded puff. Both my type-c phones (pixel 3a, pixel 7) have shiny port floors (the 0) so it’s pretty obvious when I clean it properly

I figure everyone on Lemmy knows, but C is prone to dust collection. Any time I think the port is wearing out, a cleaning of the port with a Sim tool brings it right back to life. It’s not tired retainers, it’s a plug stuck a millimeter out

I forgot I had one of those prank voicemails until a hiring manager reminded me :(

I used to nap daily for 20-40 mins on a 1-hour lunch in my car. I hated the job and had a 75 minute commute while never letting myself go to bed early enough. I got pretty good at it and can nap pretty effectively. 26 minutes is how long you want to be asleep for, according to NASA. It helps to have a routine to make both falling asleep and waking easier

Or that the site owners aren’t just two bit grifters

Emphasis on pea size. I don’t know the actual limit, but most soap is actually a problem in a washing machine. Laundry detergent is specifically non-sudsing. Dish soap puts you at risk of having a foamy mess to deal with.

Youre choosing to be esoteric.

They don’t. Rise at the equator is slightly more due to the same reason the Earth bulges at the equator: centripetal force. The already-elevated sea level plays into the gravitational baseline at sea level, so gravity is 0. 5% weaker there than at the poles. The tides are also typically more aggressive at the equator and will only get worse, since it’s in the plane of the moon’s orbit.

The rules say you’re going to be attacked. Surely, the victor will hold the land for decades. Why not try to take it now first before the rest of the planet is desperate?

If I get a ute as my next vehicle, I need this guy’s face in the window

Is this Civilization loaded with automatic peace treaties, soon to be followed by nukey Ghandi?

Fun fact, if anyone knows the game/meme but doesn’t know what happened: Ghandi was set to have the lowest level of aggression possible, but a modifier was able to reduce it further. The negative value then got interpreted as the maximum value for aggression.

Climate change make you a tasty target. You’ll be less affected than equatorial shores int terms of sea level rise and your climate is warming. Why do you think Greenland is being targeted by the US right now? Because the US military is planning for global warming across the globe.
