Great film - I think the world would benefit from more people watching it. But it is so depressing, I don’t think it is a film everyone should watch.

Cant speak to OP, but this was lovely and maybe helped me with some stuff. Thank you!

For anyone in the area of Unicoi, TN, there is a group meeting at the high school tomorrow morning to help clean debris and distribute supplies.

Depends on the context. I have day-ta, you have dah-ta. They use dah-ta, and their conclusions are supported by the day-ta. That day-tabase holds lots of day-ta, and that dah-ta sent across the network.

Yeah, except my experience, it was in a team speak server, smoking cigarettes over a game of unreal or quake 3 instead of a 3" diameter cigar over a game of chess. Spiritually and effectively the same as in those old biographies though.

For reference, this was at a midsized state university in the south in the early 2010s

For whatever this is worth, he is argumentative & unfriendly enough for him to be mentioned multiple times in this thread as a famous asshole. (Note, many comments have now been “removed by mod” - but they were there. Just mentioning it in case someone tries to Ctrl+F their name to verify.)

I saw a comment the other day where they (Flying Squid) claimed to be in their 40s. Idk about mental health issues, but they are incredibly hostile/argumentative in comments.

I’m reading a book called “Mutual Aid” by Dean Spade. A project like this is exactly what the book recognizes as a good mutual aid project!

The sad news as that the end of this project with mired with almost every cause the book outlines as the downfall of most good mutual aid projects.

I hope this project can eventually be turned back around and salvaged into something more helpful for more people in a more sustainable and long term timescale.

I think it has been verified by address, but my source for that is a Legal Eagle video on YouTube, so take that with about a quarter pound of salt.

I never thought Biden was a sure loss, but I do think that Harris, et al, all stand a better chance of winning. I’m excited for this change, it feels like the DNC is trying for the first time since Obama’s first term.

Sports shooting is incredibly popular at the high school and collegiate level in the US.

Connect for Lemmy on my Android phone has worked great! The interface is almost, but not quite, 1:1 with RIF.

It was pretty buggy at launch, but here we are about a year out, and I’m not sure if I remember the what/when the last bug I encountered was. That is to say, the devs for connect are on top of stuff with regular updates which is nice.

I’m not advocating for it, but like, if they are dead they can’t really speak up about their opinions. Again, not condoning murder, but just thinking through the logic on this.

That’s right! It’s close to being a whole food, but it’s just a bit off.

I took a measure from a friend’s house in east Tennessee the other day. 40-some percent humidity (really good!), but 88F in the shade, 93F in direct sun, and 116F when standing over blacktop.

The song “1985” was released in 2004. At that time, the song was reminiscing about a time that was 19 years ago. Now, in 2024, the year 2004 is 20 years ago. Therefore, the release year of the song “1985” is closer to the year 1985, than the current year is to the year the song “1985” was released (2004).

They do deep dives are random shitty people throughout history, and occasionally contemporary people like Andrew Tate. Usually it is people like 1940s gangsters, 1990s drug kingpins, King Leopold the 2nd, and fittest gurus from the 1800s.

As far as I am aware, current fuel economy standards are primarily determined by the size of the wheel base. Some years ago, the EPA went from a reasonably managed chart to a specific formula that gets a little extreme on the ends.

So you end up with craziness like a 95 ranger required to have 60mpg to meet the standard, and a 2024 f35 super mega ultra cab long bed to have like 3mpg to meet standards. (Numbers are made up, but that is the main idea as I understand it)

I am at a loss for words that I could recognize it almost immediately.
