The original StarCraft and Brood War. I’ve always hoped a movie would be made about the story/lore but hollywood doesn’t exactly have a good track record with turning games into movies.

Sorry, can you clarify this:

bill-paper (from buying stuff)

Do you mean the paper used for receipts? I kinda remember reading something about it but I can’t recall the exact details.

Because most people switching don’t know (or care) about the fediverse and decentralization. They are regular internet users who just want to get away from the cesspool that is twitter, so they go where other people are going.

Any distro on a bootable usb drive. Instant OS, no installation needed, just plug it in.

Nice. Do it with fried rice as well.

The post about Stephen King moving to Threads says otherwise. But to be fair, it’s Threads and not Bluesky, which people here hate more.

Lol good metaphor. Right now we’re just at the point where the ride is fullly pointed upwards and rising to the peak dropoff point that will drop in January.

Not really. I mean, sure it’s the same concept, but email has been getting semi-centralized between the big players now, with gmail and maybe icloud getting the largest chunk of users. That would be similar to letting users choose between .world or .ml to sign up with, which is against the fediverse principle to spread the load as wide as possible.

When you present the lowest common denominator internet user with hundreds of instances to choose from and requiring them to think further than clicking through a sign-up page, you lose user interest pretty quickly.

Use induction or electric stoves. They don’t have a visible fire so that might help with your worry of starting one. But remember it can still happen of course, it just helps that you’re not seeing an actual fire while cooking. Like others said, you can also use other electric cookware like an airfryer, griddle, etc. Just make it a habit to be always present and not forget that you’re cooking something and you’ll avoid most burning/fire accidents.

Yeah, that’s why the Andor series was so great. They didn’t make a Star Wars show, they made a great heist show that just so happened to transpire in the Star Wars universe.

I love how they didn’t even give any opportunity for audiences to feel empathy for Oz. Dude is just straight up evil. Amazing show, and I hope they don’t force a season 2 just because. This is enough to bridge the gap between the Batman movies.

Definitely Texas BBQ. Houston is also regarded as having the best and most diverse food in the state. So try whatever you can that won’t interfere with your treatment. As others said, NASA Space Center.

The US is the most litigious country in the world. They’re likely making sure all bases are covered just in case.

Nice! I saw the news about this earlier today and it’s cool to see it in action.

You practice minimalism because of the aesthetic and lack of clutter.

I practice minimalism because I don’t have money.

We are not the same.

The movie Interstellar supposedly had physicist consultants to try to get the depictions of space stuff as accurate as possible, in particular the blackhole. Not sure if the wormhole is the same, since we have no actual scientific data or evidence of one. So that’s probably the best guess they could make.

Might be a good use-case to have your home irrigation system be triggered by plant clicks instead of a schedule.

The only correct answer:

Edit: This guy too:

It’s in the name. It’s fast. You order at a drive-thru and you’re on your way in a couple of minutes. I agree though that prices are insane now and doesn’t justify the quality. I’d rather go to an asian restaurant for their lunch specials and get more for my buck.

Can someone more knowledgeable than me please ELI5 how this drug is so revolutionary and why it only came to be recently? Based on what I see on articles, it seems like the equivalent of a cure for cancer, but for obesity amd weight loss instead. Is it the result of years and years of research and testing, and/or a breakthrough discovery of the chemical that makes it work?
