To side topic this a bit, burning of fields can be a problem. Alot of farmers in SE Asia do Slash/burn to the fields, and it causes MAJOR air problems. A couple of years ago, Singapore had to shut the airport and the air pollution was super super high because of burning of fields in Indonesia. Pictures at the time looked like the forest fire pictures from California. (I understand why they do it, but it is still can be a bit problem)

@axtremus said in Pope removes legal privileges for Vatican cardinals & bishops: Fewer people with special legal privileges. Sounds good to me. Indeed. Now, extend that thinking to Washington DC.

@copper said in Run Windows on M1 Mac w/Parallels: Who cares? We are energy independent For now...

I have to agree with Klaus. Music? No, but it was a whole lot of nothing.

@doctor-phibes said in Hey Mark!: @mark said in Hey Mark!: @mik said in Hey Mark!: New Genesis tour. Yep. Except I wouldn't attend this show if someone paid me to go. I get all the real Genesis music I need from a tribute band named The Musical Box. That's such a Mark post I should have said, "Live", Genesis Music. But yeah I have very strong post traumatic teenage angst, about the direction that band took.

@doctor-phibes said in Anti-Mask sentiment is growing: The reason the CDC talk to us as though we're a bunch of morons who can't use their common sense is because we're a bunch of morons who can't use our common sense. Speak for yourself.

@george-k said in Why work?: If the government is providing unemployment coverage, childcare coverage, etc, why bother? Yes, the government will give you everything But, what if you want a little luxury every now and then? Just steal it That's right just grab it and run But what about the police? Police? What is that?

My main use for my iPhone is listening to radio comedy etc. when I'm out walking the dog, and I use wireless headphones. I find wires to be a complete PITA.

The middle schooler in me laughs every time I read the word “butthole”.

@axtremus said in Hey, radiologist! Thanks for the arrows!: Just curious, how much load bearing capacity would you lose after a repair like this? Totally normal, once the bone heals together. The purpose of the metal is to keep pieces in place while healing occurs. It's not uncommon to see hardware removed after a while.

@xenon said in Double Mutant: There needs to be a global effort to tamp this thing down and get vaccines everywhere. We're one bad mutation away from being screwed. At the same time, the number of actual outcomes is very limited. It can't mutate into literally everything and anything. So we still have a shot.

@lufins-dad I tried Locke and key, but then I got tired of it (and then I read what happens and decided I didn’t want to watch it any more ) Shadow and bone is pretty confusing - lots of stories going on at once.

Love it! Some people would pay extra for that texturing effect. I hope they leave it that way. "Directions? We're at the duck house. You can't miss it."

I remember that I was sole pioneer of tripping in my peer group in the mid to late 70s. The first time I took acid, I took a hit of purple micro-dot and tripped all by myself for the next 14 hours or so. I did have some of my friends close by at the start and of course they had to fuck with me, trying to get me to freak out. lol I had to go home eventually and "sleep" lol. No sleep that night. Just a 15 year old kid in his bed alone, experiencing LSD for the first time. It was a magical, mesmerizing, and at times, scary experience. It lasted so long, and prevented me from sleeping even though I was extremely tired. That felt like torture. It was the longest "buzz" and I did wonder if it would ever stop, and more than worried that it wouldn't. But it did, and I woke up the next day with a entirely different outlook on so many things. After my friends saw that I survived the trip, they all started doing it. We had some wild parties.

Titanic. You have to see it through 'til the end - trust me.
