When I was a kid in the early 80’s, we would go ice skating on the canals almost every year. since the 90’s this has hardly ever been possible.

Over here there’s plenty who believe in climate change, but they think it’s neat that we now have the climate in the Netherlands that Paris used to have in the eighties. There’s also plenty who insist that the climate has always changed while ignoring that we see changes occuring thousands of times faster than before. And there’s a group who’ll say sure, but it’s not something we can change, so no use trying.

It’s Ukraine, without “the”. “The Ukraine” is the soviet name, which Putin likes to use.

I could argue that one of your facts is subjective: the Trump administration is only incompetent based on your reference frame. Now, it is a morally bankrupt reference frame where they are competent (they’re very competent at normalizing the corruption), but still, they’ve proven quite competent in reaching their set goal so far.

I bought ten of these. Somewhat out of impulse, but I also needed a few more dollars in my order for free shipping. My older son and me love hiding these around the house.

Edit: I don’t endorse the message on the site I linked, part of the fun is that everybody knows I’m not religious at all.

I was on Twitter somewhere in 2009 I think, and I agree, it was shit then.

I think SW 7, 8 and 9 are OK and liked them better than 1 and 2, which I disliked so much that I never bothered to see 3.

Some people melt their ice cream in the microwave before eating it, though.

My dad used to put ice cream in a mug, and then place it on the metal plate of the biggest burner in the stove to melt it a little. This worked about a hundred times before the mug exploded in a lot of tiny pieces.

Makes sense I guess. I don’t experience this downvoting behavior though, probably because I’ll block any magazine where this happens.

So, out of curiousity, why are you on Lemmy if that’s how you feel?

Being the smartest person in the room means you have nothing new to learn from those in the room.

If that’s how you feel when you think you’re the smartest, you’re not that smart.

I don’t agree with your take on evolution, I don’t see a natural selection mechanism that prevents reproduction if you don’t adapt to new technologies. Some will even claim it’s the opposite. I think maybe modern medicine has pretty much halted human evolution.

I agree. Just yesterday I was talking with my wife about this regarding the switch to ms teams our employers have made. Ever since, everything that could be done with one action now takes at least two. So I showed her the link where you can add shortcuts from teams to your onedrive, so you can at least work with explorer like a decent caveman.

This is actually a good tip! An uncle of mine always used scalpels for wood carving.

Normally I use a Kobo e-reader, but on my phone I use Readera for ebooks

Can’t be the leaded gasoline, gen-x grew up on this stuff.

Isn’t MacOs based on BSD in the same vein?

Android?

It’s very common, especially retail will pay the minimum and mostly schedule minors during weekends and evenings.
