I like this game, but even with the genre hints it's often very hard. It takes a bit to get into the habit of just taking a stab at it.

I think getting more hints, in words or images, in response to guesses would increase the interest.

The more challenges the better IMO because we all have different music taste and knowledge so many challenges I have little hope of guessing. But would still be interesting if there was more back and forth. I wouldn't mind challenges lasting longer if the op would give clues because then even in a genre I don't know well I could learn something new.

I don't expect things to move very quickly as I only check things twice a day or so myself. I like the idea of browsing through a bunch of unsolved games to find one that I have a guess for, I don't care how long they've been up, and as poster I don't mind responding to old games, or if I get tired of it can always post the answer.

I have three suggestions: Longer time, maybe a week, before posting answer.

List of songs already played (not that you should never reuse one, but in some ways this is helpful and inspiring to those who might post a challenge). Not all of the Lemmy apps have ability to search within a community.

Don't just reply "Nope" if you've got time to be a little more helpful--the game is hard.

Yeah, I hadn't heard of it, but it looks really cool. Gonna have to try that out.

TIL

Animal by-products, as defined by the USDA, are products harvested or manufactured from livestock other than muscle meat.[3] In the EU, animal by-products (ABPs) are defined somewhat more broadly, as materials from animals that people do not consume.[4] Thus, chicken eggs for human consumption are considered by-products in the US but not France; whereas eggs destined for animal feed are classified as animal by-products in both countries

So USDA disagrees with Taco Bell, but the various badges given by the vegetarian association have more precise definitions. I didn't know about animal genes used in plants?

I can't deny they've done a good job of reaching out to traditional Republicans. You can call them liars all you want and I agree but what matters is who was on stage. Maga isn't worried and the suburban "I'm not racists" think there is a moral center to the party.

I use osmand on Android. Bit of a leaning curve to start as you need to download the maps you want and set up features, but then it is available offline as well and can include topographical and trails or other data if you're not just traveling in cities.

I thought the Tomorrow War was super clear.

The other complication is that the second map is so potato you can't see what color the smaller dots are and I think it gives overall a bluer impression than it would at higher quality.

I feel much better, thank you

They want money to build sea defenses to protect their cliffside homes from landslides, which is so far reserved for more high-value areas. I'm sympathetic, but this

"But there's no way anybody could have anticipated these losses 15, even 10 years ago." is something we're never going to stop hearing, because we've already been hearing it for 10-15 years. Consider this messy alternative that started in 2005.

People will always choose to defend, and continue to build and improve and invest right up to the end, making the eventual damage more costly and chaotic. Something that happens once here and there, maybe we can get away with that, but if the whole coast is going to sink at once, we have to be more responsible or we simply won't be able to afford the consequences.

The quote/decision from the organization is a year old and presumably what the vote was hoping to overturn. The article confuses by telling the story backward.

This led me down a rabbit hole about conscientious objector status and how, if your objection to cruelty extends to fellow humans, you need to be prepared to opt out of the military long before any draft and there are organizations to advise on this process. Thanks for sharing.

The way they are so evenly situated, I think they are just putting a population-proportioned dot in the center of each county. In meant states, counties are pretty much equal sized squares with varying amounts of people in them.

TitleAcross the Universe

 

My recent experience is no -- the first backup went just fine, but all subsequent attempts to add to it have failed, giving various errors in the logs, including mounting problems, timeout during the initial write test, bad database, etc. I did rename the drive between backups, maybe that was bad? The log shows Time Machine using the new name and finding the drive just fine.

Googling this I see that people have these same problems with external hard drives, though, so I'm wondering if anyone has been successful using a thumb drive and if there's any trick to it.

 

Usually the option is there, but sometimes only block user is available.

Thanks.
