people are generally ok. put them in a situation where they can climb over other people to advance and watch the rot begin.

so, while people are generally ok, corporate people are generally not.

here here!

didn’t think much of the sequels though

“we’re on a mission from God”

personally, I have no desire to live longer than I’m intended to. living to that age with more vitality, however, that sounds great!

do you mean fusion? fusions the one that separate atomic nuclei that we’ve had since the 1940’s. fusions the one where atomic nuclei are combined, that make headlines when the reactors run for more than a few seconds

a little blunt, but there’s the classic Boaty McBoatface

North East, US here. probably fine but I don’t trust it. we use a water filter for drinking

there trick is to pull the elastic down far enough so it reaches over the bottom edge of the mattress.

forget folding it neatly. you can adult without that skill

I loved stumbled upon! it’s got repetitive after a while, but I found a bunch of stuff I never otherwise would have

adjacent answer, but resource requirements are lower than might be expected since the simulation only needs to capture elements observed by a conscious entity. the vast majority of the known universe has not been observed in any detail that requires significant memory or processing resources. this same technique is employed by computer game designers so that only scenery and elements within view of a player are fully rendered.

take a look at politics at lemmy.world. their side bar has links to other related communities, any one of which might also be a good place to post depending on what you have in mind

huh - I never thought of it that way but of course it makes total sense.

I love this question - simple but thought provoking!

having gotten zapped by 120VAC and 230VAC I totally agree. the former sucks and is no fun while the latter made me question my life choices

we’ll, shit.

guess I’ve got some movies to watch

I’m late to the party here, but since I didn’t see it mention elsewhere, I’ll throw up unbreakable with Bruce Willis. given his health conditions, it won’t happen with him but it might be able to happen with somebody else in his place.

I feel like that movie established some solid characters and a somewhat unique case of the every man turned superhero. The whole idea of him just being able to touch someone and then get a glimpse into their hidden life was really cool. Plus there was the relationship with his son, bad guy suffering from that brittle bone disease to contrast with Bruce Willis’s character being, well, unbreakable. it was a good setup I thought for a whole series of films.

excellent point!

totally agree in principle. my edc of choice has been the Leatherman skeletool for the last 5 years. pliers, Phillips and flat head and blade have been the perfect combination to balance portability and utility

ditto. also keep one on each side of the miter saw and at the table saw to use the eraser side as an 11th finger when needed

zoltan kaszas.

very strong on the fly and always has new material, usually relevant to wherever he’s performing

never understood the hate he gets. I saw that special he did and I really didn’t see anything disturbing.
