Always good to stay up to date on WoT.

My wife sent me Andrees Arctic Balloon Expedition. From there, the rabbit hole into Svalbard was self-inflicted.

Yeah, or maybe “rest of the time” is literally when you’re sleeping, because you spent 16 hours searching for berries, with maybe an hour or two nap when the sun was high. Life was certainly not easier a few hundred years ago, whether you lived in some community or were nomadic or whatever. Wherever it was, it was work, and it’s work now, except where my work used to benefit me and my family and perhaps my community, now it buys some dude a yacht, and a private jet, and some wineries in Napa Valley. But I get to watch Netflix, so it’s a fair trade.

Repetaur sounds like a great fictional dinosaur to add to my son’s repertoire.

You’re judging them based off of what is ostensibly a first impression they have chosen for themselves. I can’t imagine a scenario where that’s not fair. And you don’t need to form an entire opinion, but the opinion starts there. If their picture was a sports team I didn’t like, some furry shit, or even MAGA, I’d form some opinions out of the gate.

In this (dubstep) vein, I never miss an opportunity to rep one of my favorites from back in the 2010-2015 dubstep days: Stinkahbell - Don’t Tell Mum About Ibiza.

Right. I can’t ride my gun to work or the grocery store. I get that there’s a lot of negatives associated with car culture, but it’s a tool in a way that firearms are not.

I got my copy back in May 2011. I think the only thing that pisses me off that’s related to its popularity was it being sold and sold again, and so when I wanted to start playing with my children, I had to re-buy the game. I transferred from minecraft to Mojang, but didn’t do Mojang to Microsoft, and so that was that.

Beyond that, I’m 37 and have two kids and I don’t really know if it’s popular and what the community is like, I just play with my kids, and they’re scared of endermen, so it’s fun.

Yeah, I’m in Jersey and it’s pretty easy to find places with outdoor seating. Got several in my small town.

I will say that the feel is not quite the same as sitting somewhere in Paris, or Nice, or Aix. They angle all the chairs to face outward, I’ve noticed, and the tables are so often just tables for two. I’m sure I’m misremembering a bit, but the sentiment still stands, to me. The outdoor seating is almost geared toward sit here and look out, not at your tablemate, and do some people watching. I love it.

So I can appreciate all of this. It is not a race. I can wait 5 seconds. I think I’ll give a toot at 5 seconds, because 5 seconds is legit a lot of time to not be looking where you’re supposed to be. And I have lights in my town that go green for 15-20s, before going red again for 45-60s. So when you eat up 25-33% of the green signal, it’s kinda rude, and so a double toot, to me, is more than appropriate.

Yeah, personally I’m all about clear the intersection. There’s conflicting movements and it’s a bottleneck, let’s all get through as efficiently as we can. This doesn’t mean flooring it, but we can at least apply some throttle, and not just through but beyond the intersection, because contrary to what some folks believe, there are people on the road other than you.

Yeah, and for anyone concerned, this doesn’t mean jam on the gas, but you got a make some move. You can be conscious of intersecting traffic and whether they’ve actually come to a stop, as well as aware of everyone behind you apparently being in a huge hurry, because they always are. So take your foot off the brake, let me see those brake lights go away, and it’s at least a signal to everyone that we are underway here at Silverstone.

I’ll do something similar to the OP. If I’m doing 29 in a 25 and you ride my ass, we will now do 24 in a 25. I like to think I’ve improved the safety of the local roadway. I won’t negotiate with terrorists.

We’re on Lemmy, I’m surprised this shitpost hasn’t already devolved to political discourse. Taking shitposts seriously is Lemmy’s milieu.

Reminds me of the joke: What’s the difference between Jelly and Jam?

There really is no wrong way. Peanut butter, or something like it, whatever you’re into, with some pulverized fruit jelly stuff, on some sort of bread or breadlike surface, open faced or sandwich style. All good.

Where does Vegemite fit in.

Because responding seriously to a comment that is obviously tongue in cheek is annoying.

First three seasons of AD are some of the best TV ever.

Jersey is best state, 100%.
