zabadoh,

It was lonely and wanted to join the Moskva

zabadoh,

They’re talking about daily or weekly losses shooting up due to the human wave offensives.

zabadoh,

If they haven’t been brushing their teeth and there’s visible calculus on them, you could use a metal pick and scrape it off like a dentist doing teeth cleaning, to show them how thick it is.

zabadoh,

Joe’s Classic Videogames is great and fun nostalgia about the insides of the classic arcade cabinets and pinball machines of yore.

Lots of insider information on how these things worked and what goes wrong with them, and satisfying play on the machines after they’ve been fixed!

zabadoh,

Forum.Rojadirecta.es has nodes dedicated to pretty much any major sporting events: Soccer, NFL, MLB, F1, NBA, Rugby Union, et al.

Mostly they’re direct downloads from sites with way too much advertising, too many popups and misleading links, so they’re best handled with JDownloader2

Actual torrent links are available sometimes.

zabadoh,

The RPG round still has the rocket propellant in it. That’s the R in Rocket Propelled Grenade, RPG.

Then the explosive payload goes off, it also ignites the propellant.

The rocket part of the round with the propellant that would normally push the round forward has nowhere to go, so it goes backwards.

zabadoh,

Seems like a waste of munitions. The dude had a tourniquet on his leg and was likely bleeding out and left to die by his side already.

zabadoh,

Get the beans and water to a boil, then turn down the heat until it’s just simmering.

Simmer for 1 hour, then taste test. Most dried beans will be tender, but some dried beans that have been sitting on the shelf for a long time might take up to 1 more hour of simmering, for a total of 2 hours.

I’ve never had dried beans take more than 2 hours of simmering to tenderize.

Dried lentils take much less time, usually about 45 minutes.

Pour off all the water and rinse the beans until the water runs clean. The bean simmering water contains much of the indigestible sugars that make you fart after you eat beans.

Now the beans are ready to make soups and chili or however you want to use them.

But yeah, 20-40 minutes in a pressure cooker is a lot faster.

zabadoh,

So they’re textualists until it applies to them…

“Engaged in insurrection” means exactly that.

It doesn’t mean they succeeded, it doesn’t mean they just thought about it, it certainly doesn’t say anything about an act of Congress.

He assembled the mob, and literally gave them their marching orders that January 6th.

If that isn’t worth at least a participation trophy, then I don’t know what is.

zabadoh,

He’s got a YT channel, UA EOD

It’s not the slickest production, but gives you an idea of what they’re up against in terms of the demining task ahead of them, and the lack of resources they’re facing.

Pretty much all of their equipment and even boots are bought with donations, not funding from the Ukrainian government.

Here’s the video that the above photos are taken from m.youtube.com/watch?v=24UmZwqFN58

zabadoh,

That’s a popular misconception about the vaccines.

They’re to keep the infection at a manageable level, i.e. like a regular miserable virus infection, not to stop you from being infected although they do reduce the risk of that too.

Another misconception: “I’m not in the risk demographic”. COVID affected people of all ages, just at different percentages of the population.

zabadoh,

What the hell was that drone carrying? The explosion seemed too big for an RPG head.

zabadoh,

Which strip is to the left of Ziggy in the middle of the left bank of screens? Looks like something out of Five Nights At Freddy’s.

Also, Opus thinking “Is that a camera lens?”

zabadoh,

This worked for me. Firefox on Windows. Thanks!

zabadoh,

That just shows that Firefox is superior. ;-)

zabadoh,

Depends on what exactly each poll is asking or saying.

If you go by popular vote, Biden could be well ahead in that demographic.

But 1) Not all young people vote, andas a whole they lag far behind compared to other age groups, particularly ages 45+

kff.org/…/number-of-individuals-who-voted-in-thou…

And 2) The popular vote is greatly negated by the electoral college.

So If you want to become President, one way is to appeal to what old people in Red states can be persuaded to believe.

zabadoh,

I disagree somewhat.

A lot of high tech development comes with a greed motive, e.g. IPO, or getting bought out by a large company seeking to enter the space, e.g. Google buying Android, or Facebook buying Instagram and Oculus.

And conversely, a lot of open source software are copies of commercially successful products, albeit they only become widely adopted after the originals have entered the enshittified phase of their life.

Is there a Lemmy without Reddit? Is there a Mastodon without Twitter? Is there LibreOffice without Microsoft Office and decades of commercial word processors and spreadsheets before that? Or OpenOffice becoming enshittified for that matter? Is there qBittorrent without uTorrent enshittified? Is there postgreSQL without IBM’s DB2?

The exception that I can see is social media and networked services that require active network and server resources, like Facebook YouTube, or even Dropbox and Evernote.

Okay, The WELL is still around and is arguably the granddaddy of all online services, and has avoided enshittification, but it isn’t really open source.

zabadoh,

I don’t understand what the crying female figure in the Statue Of Liberty headdress is supposed to represent.

zabadoh,

HK style borscht - LawSung tong

zabadoh,

HK style borscht

It’s got an interesting history of how it came to be.

The article mentions the Boston Restaurant in Wan Chai. I’m surprised to hear that it’s still running.

You should definitely eat there. It’s famous for its sizzling steak platters.
