Reddit -> Beehaw until I decided I didn’t like older versions of Lemmy (though it seems most things I didn’t like are better now) -> kbin.social (died) -> kbin.run (died) -> fedia.
Japan-based backend software dev.
Accidentally driving onto the Ambassador Bridge to Canada from the Detroit-area is a common mistake. Locals say it’s an area that is always under construction and can be confusing.
I drove on trying to get to the Japanese consulate in detroit for my visa before coming to Japan. Thankfully, I noticed soon enough and saw a little turnaround, but I think past that point, one would be stuck.
I was in Houston for hurricane Ike. We had trees down all around making the roads impassible for a few days, so having a few days of food was enough for us to get them cut and moved enough to go anywhere. 3 days is also enough to get food/water distributions or drops set up. It’s basically enough to get out of needed or to get by until distribution logistics are in place. If bombings start, your stash could go up in smoke so 3 days or 30 wouldn’t really matter as much as a go-bag with more compressed calorie bars or something.
Ah, and yes to not relying on the grid. Now, I have a battery backup that can run my well pump or keep the fridges going and recharges with solar. We have a cannister gas stove and a charcoal grill. I have a kerosene stove and several litres of fuel around for the colder months as well, but I think some of that is hard for those in small apartments and the like.
More is better. Dry pasta and white rice store very well for carbs and don’t take up a ton of space.
Any malady that could get through would, in theory, be able to destroy nearly everyone. If the response that would grant immunity to future generations were a mutation with a negative side effect attached, you’ve just ended humanity (assuming any survived). We’ve lost plant species to similar.
This one example ignores a whole host of other problems with the idea.
I was on BBS, Compuserve, and eventually AoL and others. I forget when I first saw it, but it felt later to me. It’s possible it just wasn’t popular when and where I was around and that meant I didn’t see it until much later, but I don’t remember it. I remember being confused the first time I saw it, wondering what it might stand for.
I am somehow one step removed as XD feels young to me 8-)
But what is a meme if it doesn’t miss GenX. Whatever. (I assume here that the ‘I hate my wife’ is meant to be a jab at boomer humor, but I may be wrong).
Well, I don’t use the wrong shift key /s
I do. Perhaps, as another poster pointed out, it ties into typing classes I had back in the late '80s or early '90s.
I saw it twice that I can remember in person in my ~30 years growing up and living in the US. Can’t speak for the last decade as I’ve only spent a couple weeks in the US in that time to see family.
Jetstream 0.5. Probably 5 is the closest. I still have a box of 2 floating around.
Hey, you’re the one fucking this goat; I’m just holding the horns.
As someone on mbin rather than lemmy, lemmy isn’t even all of us.
the minus would remove sites. Useful it you want to do X -site:reddit.com but that leaves all that isn’t reddit.
Peanut butter is rather calorie dense. On sandwiches, as a dip, in sauces, or by the spoonful. Potatoes are quite nutritious and especially delicious when mixed with things like cream, butter, etc.
Hah, not intentionally. There are (or at least used to be), a lot of US folks who used to go there to drink since the age is 21 in the US. That’s dangerous, I suppose.
Military intelligence was very interested in me when I was a finishing highschool. I went a very different route after graduating and deciding unit wasn’t for me (yet). We were scared as shit about being drafted to infantry right after 9/11, though. I actually reached out to the cia and/or fbi to try to be helpful and maybe land a job. They kindly told me to get a degree and try again.
If you’re so into republican policies, why not look back through all they’ve done. Notice a lack of small farms and farmers compared to decades ago?
Thank you. I’m also a Canadian citizen so, if family really needed to meet and weren’t dying, we’d probably go to Windsor or something and have them meet us there.
I’m a us citizen living in Japan and I wouldn’t consider. Unless someone’s dying, I’m staying out. Taking my non-white wife who barely speaks any English is 100% out of the question.
This is me. We had a public holiday the other day and, since the weather wasn’t great, I decided to start a new project to write code because I enjoy it. Also, Twitch’s event/API documentation does not spark joy (weird grammar like “one of the following” what looks like a partially deleted line; response/requests that are in tables aligned by a number (only two, so good luck people like me) spaces to indicate level, and just plain wrong and missing info (“this API responds 202” – LIAR!).
Replicate the replicator. Next day, use both to replicate replicators. Repeat ad nauseam.
