I mean, if it was continual, it sounds like it’s actually the landlord skipping out on their pest control duties. That shit’s illegal.

Unironically, I have that ad saved under comedic commercials.

“Please, try the bosghetti…”

Welllcooome!

Live long enough to become the cult leader…

Nice, yeah, that’s kinda how I was thinking. Thanks for the recommendation!

Ooh. Those price points are pretty solid. If you had to pick one for daily use, including travel, would you go InkPad 4 or one of the eras?

Commenting to come back to this. Also interested!

“More at six…”

Probably not the only one here with this kinda story, but a perfect fit black leather jacket. Used it for Beatles/50s/Grease costumes all throughout college and beyond. Same store, I also found a couple really dope vests but they no longer fit.

Ended up giving those to a younger cousin who was about the same build as me, so they’re still getting use.

This is pretty much me as well. I may use results from a search, but, for the most part, I’m never signed in and I haven’t commented or voted on anything for quite a while.

The comments seem less helpful or on point with new content from that site anyway, so whenever I am on it, it’s usually like a problem solving thread that was posted a year or more back.

Edit: I’m only signed in on my main computer as I still have that login running, I guess.

Also, idk what people are talking about with lack of content. It’s not oversaturated to the point that new posts get lost in the churn, but the communities I subscribe to have a fair amount of posts going on.

I feel like people aren’t curating their lemmy feeds well or at all if they’re not seeing content. I will say that it takes some time to figure out which communities to subscribe to, but I think the majority of that is behind me and I’m catching up with interesting content through stuff like new community or trending community posts.

Unironically, the original trilogy credits always got me pumped up for the next one.

“Yeah, you like to see homos naked. That’s cool, man, whatever.”

Totally, I mean a lot of my gripe with cars is about how they’re currently used and their safety and environmental impact.

I recognize the need for low occupant vehicles, but definitely also see that we’ve blown past any reasonable projection of their use.

As far as cutting cars out of cities goes, it’s pretty important to cut commuter cars as well. Commuter trains are safer, way more easily regulated and keep cars out of the city.

I shed no tears for the owners of parking lots and ticket writers who would lose out with an increase in commuter trains. They bet on the continuation of inefficient forms of transportation and sought to capitalize on convenience, let 'em fail like commercial real estate and have the cities restructure their downtowns when the prices on those buildings plummet.

Exactly! When I took my test way back when, they didn’t even have me drive on a highway… Like, most of the crazy shit I see happens on or entering/exiting highways. I feel like mandating that in a test would keep a lot of people from danger.

And I get that people need to get to work and do errands, but the standard for getting a license is so low that their convenience comes at the expense of public safety and increased private costs, medical, legal, tickets to police vultures that just fund further oppression.

We treat driving as a necessity and cut all corners to keep selling environment destroying death traps to every member of the public. Driving is very convenient, but also inherently dangerous and the testing involved needs to accurately reflect the fatal consequences that occur wayyy too frequently.

Even if the consequences aren’t fatal, victims end up with significant injuries and even life changing disabilities. Then they’re compensated fucking pennies by greedy, profit pinching insurance companies and any actual burden for their treatment, rehabilitation, or stabilization is then borne by the victims and eventually the state.

It’s lazy, demented, and cruel, all the way around. I feel like states should have standing to fuck up auto manufacturers and insurance companies for the massive costs they shift over to the public, but we’ve never really had a justice system so that’s a ways away if it’s even possible.

Cars are fucking deathtraps and a massive waste of public and private resources.

I’ve always been a proponent of cutting down their use. Also, more stringent licensing requirements until we invest in effective public transportation (which is a hard fight already as manufacturers and even police have interest in dangerous vehicles being sold to the public).

Also, why the fuck do we have so many gigantic trucks on the road for shipping? Invest in fucking rail freight.

And, on a personal note, my grandmother still has her license and there’s no fucking way that’s safe for anyone.

“The British History Podcast” is also really solid for this.

There are also good ones on Japan, The Crusades, Rome, and the Byzantine Empire although I don’t remember their names exactly. They’re all variations on “The History of [x]” or “[x] History Podcast”.

The history of the crusades one is done by an Australian professor and she’s really good. I believe she did one on the Normans as well which was excellent, too.

Really, if you’re going with History, I would do a bit of research on how they’re perceived and make sure you like the narrator’s voice. It’s almost always one narrator which is perfect for sleep.

Additionally, I will go out and find lectures from “The Great Courses” series which are pretty well vetted for oratory because the speakers are genuine college professors. Just finished one of those on Balkan history which was really solid.

As far as vetting of podcasts goes, most of them are done by well meaning amateurs, but it should become clear whether they actually know what they’re talking about. I’d recommend Hardcore History or Great Courses lectures as a jumping off point and then see about podcasts that are similar in respect for the subject matter.

I have a small notebook with this printed on the cover that I used for my first campaign as a DM.

It was a total hit with the players!

It just keeps on giving. I had so many playthroughs on my old Xbox before getting into the PC modding in college.

Thankfully, this will run on basically anything now, so I have all the nice stutter fixes and unofficial performance patches on my laptop. Beats the hell out of restarting the game on console every time it crashed.

I heard good things about the New California story mod and recently set that up, so I’m pretty stoked.

Haven’t played around with Fallout 3’s mod scene as much but I’d guess they may have some story mods that might be worth looking into as well.
