Hey, he’s like, just this guy, you know?

jordanlund,

I’m a little too reliant on Android Auto and there really is no alternative other than Apple Car Play which is even more restrictive.

jordanlund,

Awww… he looks sad!

“Why the food hit me, dad?”

jordanlund,

Even got the claw covers on the gloves!

jordanlund,

OMG they even got the claw covers…

jordanlund,

Cinematic Logan is dead, just far off in the future dead.

jordanlund,

Deadpool 2 didn’t touch Logan, the bit with Wolverine at the end was from X-Men Origins: Wolverine, not Logan.

The time travel gag will allow a team up with Wolverine from before the events of Logan.

jordanlund,

Where does lemmy.one sit? That’s where I made my account because a) it didn’t seem to matter and 2) I was told that lemmy world and lemmy.ml were under stress due to the reddit shenanigans.

jordanlund,

I set up a Windows install on one of these:

kingston.com/…/xs2000-portable-usb-c-solid-state-…

Works great, no complaints. Boot from Steam Deck for Steam Deck things, boot from external SSD for Windows things.

I COULD have done a dual boot from the internal SSD, but I wanted to keep it clean.

jordanlund,

Same. Glad I never actually relied on it…

jordanlund,

It costs money to produce food.

The more people you want to feed, the more money it costs.

Food production is not free. Food distribution is not free.

If you have an alternative to capitalism, I’m open, but you can’t just stamp your feet and go “but it should be free!” It’s not, someone has to pay for the seed, irrigation, fertilization, equipment fuel and labor involved in production and distribution.

p.s. Is it just me or is it the same people wanting $20+ hour minimum wage who also think food should be free?

jordanlund,

Great, you just caused hyperinflation for everything else and destroyed the economy.

jordanlund,

that things that are essential, like food and health, should not depend on money exchange to be provided, period.

The problem with that is the people providing the food and health services still need to survive.

Doctors need to pay their rent. Farmers need to buy feed, seed, and fertilizer. Everyone pays for water.

So once you go down the road of making it impossible to charge for services that need to bring in money to literally keep the lights on, you collapse the economy, and no, that’s NOT a good thing. That road leads to chaos and death.

jordanlund,

Morality doesn’t enter into it. If you want something that somebody else puts effort into producing, they need to be compensated for their effort, materials, etc. etc.

I guess you could phrase that as a moral demand. You don’t have free access to the results of someone elses effort.

You want to eat without paying someone? Grow your own food. Nothing stopping you. Oh, but you’ll have to pay for the land, seed, water, fertilizer, animals. Learn how to slaughter and butcher on your own because you can’t pay someone else to teach you those skills. You could learn to hunt, but then you’d have to make your own weapons because even re-loading supplies cost money.

jordanlund,

On a per capita basis, yes. But the Doritos that sell for $6 a bag come out of a multi billion dollar organization (Frito Lay, part of Pepsi).

Individuals coming together to produce a single bag of Doritos aren’t going to be able to do it for $6. They need the infrastructure of that multi billion dollar corporation to get there.

jordanlund,

The thing is, you can’t source enough local produce to support any significant population. I live in a town of 641,162 (2021 numbers), you’re not going to deliver 1,923,486 meals a day, 702,072,390 meals per year, using only local resources. It simply can’t be done.

Even on my property, for two people, I would not be able to produce 6 meals a day every day. I have to bring in outside resources.

jordanlund,

As a former teacher, yeah, I agree. I quit because I had office staff who regularly screamed at me over administrative bullshit. It just wasn’t worth it.

I enjoyed the hell out of it, but I made 2x or now 4x the money by working in my field rather than teaching my field.

Jennifer Garner Joins Deadpool 3 To Reprise Role As Daredevil's Elektra (www.gamespot.com)

THR’s report also comes on the heels of rumors that Ben Affleck himself would be returning as Daredevil for the movie, as well as rumors earlier this spring that James Marsden, Famke Janssen, and Halle Barry would return as Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Storm, respectively. These rumors are strictly that–rumors–but Garner’s...

jordanlund,

It would be funny to bring them back as actors… “Jennifer! I love you! You made X-Men Origins: Wolverine look good! Thank you so much!”

jordanlund,

These are the consequences of taking Wisconsin and Michigan for granted, and talking crap about coal in Pennsylvania.

We DID go out and vote, but the candidates HAVE to run a 50 state strategy for it to make a difference.

Clinton lost Wisconsin by 22,748 votes.
Michigan by 10,704 votes.
Pennsylvania by 44,292 votes.

Those three states threw the election to Trump. Clinton wins would have made the electoral vote 273 to 258 Clinton.

Biden won all three.

jordanlund,

Well that’s why I’m baking up a test cake tonight before doing the “real” cake. We’ll see how it goes.

My expectation is that once it’s properly refrigerated, the smell won’t carry on either cake, so the taste is going to be where it’s at! We’ll see!

jordanlund,

Now that we’ve taste tested it, we did just mix all the frosting together for toast and stuff and found it was the weakest of the two. Lost the scent and the flavor.

jordanlund,

80% of our days? 🤔

A year has 365 days. 80% of 365 = 292.

If you work a full time job, 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year, that’s “only” 260 days. Assuming no holidays or vacation days. 71.23% of days.

Maybe they meant hours? No, that can’t be right… 365x24 = 8,760 hours a year. If you work 8 hour days, 260 days a year that’s 2,080 hours or 23.74% of available time…

In order to be working “80% of your days” that would be 292 / 52 = 5.62 days per week. So an extra half day a week, every week for a year, with no time off other than weekends.

jordanlund,

Saccharine (Sweet 'n Low) was the big scare back then.

It turned out it did cause cancer… in rats… if you force fed them some crazy amount like 400x normal.

cancer.gov/…/artificial-sweeteners-fact-sheet

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3185898/

“humans would need to drink the equivalent of 800 twelve-ounce diet sodas with saccharin daily to reach the carcinogenic doses that induced rat bladder cancer.”
