I disagree. Paying $25 for a family of 4 and having the added bonus of not putting up with theater bullshit (e.g. ridiculous candy prices and asshole people) seems like a damn good deal.

Posters like this always assume that their candidate is the other option if the person doesn't abstain or vote 3rd party.

Probably because there isn't a giant mini blind lobby, and people plastering stickers all over their pickup trucks yelling about their mini blind rights.

At this point the screenshot thing needs it's own sub

I think that if you're comfortable doing it, go for it. If you didn't have any experience, and are lucky enough to live near an avian vet, maybe it'd be good to have them do it once while you observe and can ask questions, but it sounds like you'd do fine as is.

Thank you, I really appreciate the info. I talked to my psychiatrist and she said generics can vary 10 to 20% in potency, and some people are sensitive to that, so that's likely causing the change in side effects for me.

I've actually been shocked by how little production drops during winter. For example, we Feb & March, our coldest months this year, we produced 1.75 MWh/month, which actually beats every summer month before it, and is only beaten by this August, which was our highest producing month ever at 2.04MWh. Most summer months before that were closer to 1.5. Only thing I need to do is clear the panels after it snows.

App wise I recommend just using the progressive web app (install website as app). It works very well, and you always get the latest updates.

For the server, find one that targets one of your interests.

Oil demand deceleration is up in country where demand for non battery vehicles is down. China.

Yes, it's the embarrassment that's really important here. 🙄

Day one I pretty much slept all day. Day 2 I'm just irrationally fucking angry.

What will day 3 bring?

Who's watching? Will Rapinoe get her bicycle kick?

 

OK, I finally took the plunge on Baldur's Gate 3, and, coming from playing several hundreds of hours of Solasta recently, the first thing I noticed is the lack of a combat grid.

Going back a bit further, my son and I spent a ridiculous amount of time playing Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. We were super pumped for the sequel, but when it finally came out, it kind of fell flat for both of us. Whether or not it's down to this, I don't know, but they also removed the grid.

That game, of course, was an XCom-like. XCom used a grid, but a more recent Firaxis game, Marvel's Midnight Suns, got rid of the grid as well.

To me, all these gridless iterations of classic strategy games just aren't as engaging. I guess they're going for a more immersive rpg type of feel? But to me it seems to sacrifice the strategy aspect, and ultimately, judging based on my hours played, that always ends up being too great a sacrifice. My play time on Marvel's Midnight Suns is less than 10% of Xcom 2, and the same is true for Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope.

I'm sure BG3 is a great game, and I'm sure I'll enjoy the campaign, but so far it's not giving me the 'feels'.

Do you miss grids? Or did they only slow you down?

Trying not to implode my life. (self.bipolardisorder)
 

BP2. I've been in a depressive episode for almost 2 weeks now and I just can't fucking deal right now. I run my own business and I'm ready to fire one client and to tell another to take their project elsewhere. I know, I KNOW I should not be making decisions like this in this state, but I just can't handle it anymore. I basically quit in the middle of a meeting this morning because I couldn't handle another pedantic fucking conversation, and now everyone is messaging me asking if I'm OK, and I'm not. And there's really fun work that I should be focusing on, but I'm too preoccupied with the crap stuff, and I only have like 1/10th of the energy I should have, anyway, so I can barely muster the energy to just exist.

Thanks for reading. Maybe tell me to not screw up my life right now. Or tell me to go for it. I'm good either way.

 

After having a fantastic squash harvest 2 years ago, last year kind of sucked, and we never figured out why. This year things started great, but then started going south, with plants yellowing and squash wilting. Well apparently there's these asshole moths who lay eggs on the stem, which then produce these little effers that bore into the stem itself and eat the plant from the inside. Cutting into the stems I was able to find and remove a bunch of them. Cutting the stems didn't feel great... I tried to cut along the grain, but had to pretty much cut a chunk out of every plant just so I could even see inside and prod enough to find the squiggly things.

Hoping the plants survive and thrive 🤞. Apparently next year I should get a syringe and inject them with something called BT. I had no idea raising squash required a medical degree 🩺

 

He gets very excited when we feed him

My first EV (lemmy.world)
 

Nissan Ariya, purchased in Iowa, US. Loving it so far. Don't have a 240V outlet in the garage though, so charging is super slow. We don't drive all that much though, so shouldn't be an issue. Also first new car in 12 years. So many new features 😵‍💫😍. Hands free driving is fun, and we love the 360 camera.
