“Cocktail pods are small, single-use packets that contain all the ingredients you need to make a specific cocktail. All you have to do is add alcohol and water, and you’re ready to go.”

That’s an elaborate description of how to make them, without telling you what they are.

Looks like you could find it on Apple TV, or sail the high seas.

Looks like it’s very new. There are only three episodes released so far. It says you can watch the first one for free here, although you need an Apple ID or something.

Pyle co-executive produced the series with Dan Harmon of “Community” and “Rick and Morty.”

One of the stars is Danny Pudi, who played Abed in Community.

I genuinely and truly wish that a group of friends and relatives would stage an intervention for my Internet addiction. I’m open about it, but it seems like people don’t care very much. I would be happy to wear a silly costume!!

Me too. Because he posted the damned comment twice.

Gene Roddenberry wrote lyrics to the Star Trek theme song, but he did it for kind of an asshole reason.

Without Courage’s knowledge, Roddenberry wrote lyrics to the theme, not in the expectation that they would ever be sung, but in order to claim a 50% share of the music’s performance royalties. Although there was never any litigation, Courage later commented that he considered Roddenberry’s conduct unethical. Roddenberry was quoted as responding, “Hey, I have to get some money somewhere. I’m sure not gonna get it out of the profits of Star Trek.”

I appreciate where you’re coming from. But careful you don’t replace Trumpist fascism with some other kind of authoritarianism. You want people who tell lies to face house imprisonment? Who decides what statements are lies? It’s an easy power to abuse.

that’s the context menu I get on old.lemmy.

It turns out that on some websites, I do get the option to “save image as”. But others I don’t. the option is there on imgur and some lemmy instances, but not other lemmy instances or Reddit. Very puzzling. Firefox should know that what I’m right clicking on is an image, because it gives me the option to open it in another tab. Why can’t I just save it directly without doing that?

Wildfires and storms wreak havoc in Italy. Sicily closes motorway & airport due to 47C heat. Hundreds of firefighters rush to fight flames. In Lombardy & Milan, violent storms cause destruction, resulting in reported deaths.😔

People have died, services have been shut down or restricted, and hundreds of people have sought medical treatment for smoke inhalation.

The farmers’ association, Coldiretti, said Sicily was facing an “unprecedented catastrophe and incalculable environmental damage”.

The minister for civil protection, Nello Musumeci, wrote on Facebook: “This is one of the hardest days in Italy’s history for 10 years. Climate change has hit our nation and demands that we all change our ways. There are no excuses.”

- As reported by the BBC

Sicily is burning & emergency services are buckling under the strain. At least 200 people have sought medical attention in Palermo for smoke inhalation. A hospital is threatened by fire. (bbc.com)

Sicily - which has already been brought to its knees by a prolonged heatwave - is battling wildfires that are threatening towns and cities across the island. Temperatures of more than 47.5C (117F) were recorded in Catania on Monday....

Reminds me somewhat of Hurricane Katrina.

“The streets are on FIRE and they wont spread the news nationally . They wont send help. People call for emergency assistance and no one picks up the phone .

I’m switching today. Right now. Because of this post.

^^maybe
EDIT: okay. I think I’ve done it. I’m currently editing this comment from Firefox. I already had Firefox installed. But now I have pinned it to my taskbar. I went to import my bookmarks from chrome, and found that I also had the option of importing other stuff from chrome, too (bookmarks, passwords, history and autofill data). That’s sweet. My bookmark bar has the same bookmarks in the same position. I also installed ublock origin, like someone recommended. And I am going to give it a go. If it all goes smoothly, I will unpin Chrome from the taskbar.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement!

comment from the forum:

New ISPs in my country are IPv6-only because there is no new IPv4 space to be provided to them. They do have a over-shared IPv4 address by CGNAT but due to the oversharing, it is unstable and not rare to be offline. For these companies, the internet access is stable only in IPv6.

Thinking about the server-side, some cloud providers are making extra charges for IPv4 addresses (e.g.: Vultr.com) so most of the servers in my company are IPv6-only. Cloning github repositories is very cumbersome due to the lack of IPv6 support and this issue affects me and my team mates on a daily basis.

The math is simple: there are 4.88 billion internet users in the world but the IPv4 space only provides 4 billion addresses. It’s over: IPv4 is obsolete and is provided in a legacy mode. Current applications and services must be IPv6 enabled otherwise it should be seen as obsolete. For that matter, Github.com is an obsolete service because it relies on obsolete technology as IPv4.

I have a dear friend who was trying to sell some of us on some of Jordan Peterson’s ideas. Like advocating for a return to more traditional gender roles. He’s such a nice, sweet guy. It bends my brain to understand why he is espousing some of the stuff that he does.

I joined the WGA in 1986 and have been through several strikes with them. We made gains in all of them, but some issues are more important than others… and this year’s strike is the most important of my lifetime.

Well, it’s useful to have local communities, but I personally find it nice to still be able to join, read, and post from another instance without having to make another account. For instance, I’m subscribed to lemmy.world’s “local” community, which is where I found out about old.lemmy.world and mlmym.org. Likewise, if I lived in a geographic locality like Seattle, I might want to join a Seattle community on a Seattle instance, but I’d still prefer to be able to do it using an account from another instance rather than being forced to make an account on the Seattle instance.

GoodKingElliot,
@GoodKingElliot@feddit.uk avatar

I’m currently logged in to my feddit.UK account via mlmym.org/feddit.uk.

It’s a little weird entering my password into this other website, but I decided that a person who codes old.lemmy is probably trustworthy…(?) Anyway, that’s one option for you.

Obviously it would be better if it were implemented locally at feddit.uk.

American expat in Scotland. I say can. But I understand tin.

c/protest: A place for Lemmy users to organize protests and boycotts (kbin.social)

My vision for this community is a space where people can encourage others to vote with their dollar and with their feet by educating them on the fucked up shit that people and companies are doing. When the community reaches 500 members, mods will also select one “cause” at a time for the community to support....

We need discourse. News sites are largely owned by rich men and corporations.

That’s it. I kept thinking “The Day After Tomorrow”, but I was like, “No, that’s that ridiculous climate movie where the world froze in 24 hours.”

Interesting stance. I hope they are right. Maybe it is a win for open protocols. I just feel like federating with Facebook is like getting into bed with your drunk uncle who has a history of molesting people.
