The wizard is not a reasonable guy

The wizard who is forcing you to do this said you have to actually be playing, you can't be in a manager or commentator type role

Do people currently get paid to play naked twister? Seems like more of a collegiate level sport

[–] LesserAbe@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

I think this might be the answer

Are we calling chess a sport? In that case why not magic the gathering or black jack

Are there any causes you're interested in? Volunteering is a good way to meet people. Having some kind of structured activity besides "making friends" and defined start/end times can be helpful to take pressure off.

Not sure that improves the joke

 

In the little western media I've seen covering Sudan, the general impression I get is that the RSF is worse in terms of human rights abuses, but that initially the army and RSF initiated a coup together.

Is it just two power hungry factions falling out, or are there deeper ideological differences? For example I came across a reddit comment saying RSF are atheist ultra-nationalists, which may be true or false, but I haven't come across much info characterizing the two sides motivations at all. I'm interested to know more, I don't feel like the coverage I've seen has been in depth.

With respect, if you had read it you'd know this isn't about drones, and it's not about active combat like in Ukraine. This is sort of a decades long testing of boundaries, and the article is about a move that NATO made to potentially stop that testing.

I didn't get AI vibes from this. I took it as a guy a little overpleased with NATO military prowess but still i very nteresting information. What made you think it's AI?

Thanks for sharing. Although I'm an enthusiastic open source user, I haven't written any code of significance, so I'm not aware: has anyone made a license where use is restricted to individuals and democratically controlled organizations? I'm picturing that would allow for some degree of profit motive while encouraging things like worker co-ops and excluding venture capital controlled entities.

You're welcome! I'd be interested to see your list if you share it somewhere.

A buddy and I were playing with Sonobus this morning. It lets you collaborate on music remotely.

Musicians will know already, but if you're not aware, the latency (lag) between participants makes it impractical to play in time together. But if you can get it below 30ms then it's roughly equivalent to playing with someone across the room. Needs a hard wired connection and the other people probably can't be more than 500 miles away. But for me eliminates a two hour round trip to work on a song.

 

I'm interested in ways that people document, prioritize and execute items they need to do. What have you found useful?


For me: I don't particularly care about other Outlook functionality, but flagging emails and managing them in the sidebar has helped me a lot. I have it set to display only items due today, and then sorted into categories like "now," "soon," "pending." If I don't expect to get to an item today I change the due date to tomorrow or next week. Items don't have to be based on an email either, you can just type into the sidebar text field.

When I get emails I either immediately reply, flag it for later action, or ignore, and then I drop all emails into one giant folder. If I need to find something I do it all by search.

I've tried other systems like gmail's to do list, but it feels like way more friction to accomplish the same things, especially wanting to only view tasks due today, and categorizing tasks.

Likewise I've tried to-do-list apps, but not being able to instantly convert an email into a task, and not having documentation easily at hand when I go to perform the task makes them feel more burdensome.

 

Recently replaced the headlight bulbs for my car and saw the box indicated you shouldn't put them in the garbage because they contain mercury. I know that some retailers like home depot have a program to recycle florescent bulbs, but my understanding is that's specifically for residential bulbs (like the kind you might get at home depot). AutoZone will take back some parts but don't appear to have a program for bulbs. What's the easiest, responsible way to dispose of these?

 

No, not talking about their own shit or vomit, har de har. I mean how dogs can't have chocolate, can't eat grapes. Are there things it's no big deal for them but would be toxic for us.

 

This site has these sorts of stats for each state.

 

Was thinking about how sometimes a therapist can give bad advice, and if you're not thinking about the situation clearly, how would you know? Clearly the solution is to see a bunch of them concurrently, like a therapist RAID setup
