No Flinching by Stephen King. It’s a good book, but you really have to go back and start with the Mr. Mercedes series.

Going on OAN and calling Fox News right wing propaganda is peak irony.

Really? Do posts show as read for you? Maybe Lemmy.world is still running an old version of Lemmy. Once sh.itjust.works patched to a new version 8 or 9 months ago, Sync became completely unusable for me.

I’ve been on sh.itjust.works for the last couple of years. The admins are cool as hell. Highly recommend.

my neighbors are trekkies and Linux, as a fan of windows and star wars

Made this a couple weeks ago for you

Glad to be of assistance, homie

Lol one of the comments was:

first day on lemmy, and this is the shit i see right off the bat. I found my reddit replacement.

I felt exactly the same way

Lol same here. Jesus that whole site is atrocious now.

In 2013, the crater’s flame intensity and temperatures were at its recorded peak. At the same time, renowned Canadian explorer, George Kourounis, became the first – and only – person to enter the crater wearing a full heat-reflective Kevlar/Nomex suit and a firefighter’s Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) to provide oxygen. He descended to the 752 °F (400 °C) crater floor and retrieved soil samples. Scientists later found extremophile bacteria living in the scorched earth samples Kourounis provided.

Wtf that’s the craziest part of this story!

I remember 2 years ago trying out Lemmy and getting a few laughs about beans and trying not to poop. I thought “this is ok, but I don’t think this will ever replace Reddit in my day to day.”

But I stuck with it and have come to love and appreciate Lemmy. The number of users has continued to grow and I feel like there’s enough content here now that I never feel bored. Plus I feel like even small posts and comments get attention and we’re not just screaming into the void.

So happy cake day to all who did the same thing!

Yeah it’s early afternoon here and I just realized that I someone told me I had to stay awake for the next 24 hours, I wouldn’t make it.

We were having a movie night in our neighborhood a few years back where we got a bedsheet and a cheap projector. We hooked it up to a laptop to project a movie on someone’s garage for the neighborhood kids.

We ended up projecting The Lego Movie and most of the kids lost interest about half an hour in - and were falling asleep and ready to go home.

I’ll be damned if it wasn’t one of the best animated movies I’ve ever seen. I sent my wife home with our youngest just so I could stay and finish the movie.

Lol now that you mention it, I didn’t see the first Puss in Boots, but took my kids to see the 2nd in the theater. I distinctly remember thinking “God damn, this movie is fucking good for a sequel to a spinoff to a movie that had two mediocre sequels.”

My cat: Feed me! I’m dying! I haven’t eaten in weeks! Please feed me!

Me: Ok, here’s some food.

My cat: lol jk fuck you.

I got a Minesweeper app for my phone a few months ago with no ads. It’s amazing.

Ah I shouldn’t have skimmed this while on a work call. I saw:

“Approaching women is a violation of their personal space and could make them feel very uncomfortable, especially if they feel like they don’t have an easy way out.”

and thought that OP was saying they were uncomfortable talking to women period.

I’ve found that meal delivery kits are perfect for this situation, though they typically require a commitment of cooking at least 3 days a week. I like how they let you pick recipes ahead of time and then take care of the ingredients. I suck at planning, so having them take care of the planning so I can focus on the cooking has been awesome for me.
