  • I can imagine her as president, yes

  • Kind of topical right now. This was just a mental exercise and not a prophecy.

  • You and me both

  • Good question. I think it is if you are in the blast zone

  • Beautiful pic! I love when you can see for miles

  • I appreciate the kind words. Grief is a process and right now I am still working through it.

  • If you can afford a larger cut of meat and do your own butchering at home, you can save a few dollars doing that as well.

  • Has not changed all that much. Really depends on the instance you join.

  • Yeah it is in Washington. We got lucky it was not raining and super cold that day. It's been downpour after downpour the past month.

  • Top of Mailbox Peak. These birds were everywhere. I assume due to people sharing food when they hit the top.

  • It isn't an issue if platform but rather being responsible for content moderation. The time investment after spinning a server up is what worries me.

  • My mother died this year. It happens to everyone if you live long enough. It still sucked. She had MS since 18, died at 66. More than ten thousand days in the fire.

    I am trying to come to terms with her disease and how I was not a great son. Could have, should have, would have. The three horseman of regret. I think most people have similar thoughts when a loved one passes, but it still hurts.

    I have resolved to carry a picture of her to every mountain I hike up. Take her with me where she could not in her life. I wrote a letter of goodbyes to her and left it in mailbox peak. It still doesn't feel enough.

    I hate the person I was while she was alive. I was there, but not the person I should have been. The benefit of hindsight.

  • I left reddit and do not contribute anymore. I do browse certain subreddits in my mobile browser, but don't login. Lemmy is better for conversation and I like supporting the underdog in the age of content is everything.

  • I thought about spinning up a lemmy server but honestly the moderation and being responsible for content is a huge concern

  • I opted for a bidet "wand" years ago. I found many bidets didn't fit well on the toilets I had, or didn't actually get me any cleaner than toilet paper would. The wand improves accuracy and cleanliness tenfold. Highly recommend if you want something that requires you to sit in a specific position to see the benefits of a bidet.

  • It's sad that we live in a world where this occurs.

    I lay the blame squarely at the feet of corporate social media.

  • Reading through this thread, I can appreciate you trying here. Sometimes people miss the forest for the trees in discussions on the internet.

  • I mean, as long they clean it in between uses

  • As someone who designs and builds networks as a profession, I don't see this being a great idea. Maybe I just don't have all the facts.

    I am leaning heavily on the example of M$ trying an underwater datacenter, which they decommissioned and have not pursued further. Put a node of compute somewhere and eventually it will become obsolete or unusable due to hardware failure. Not to mention the energy requirements and cooling needed in space. Waste heat does not just dissipate unless it has a heat sink, which adds more volume and mass to the payload!
