That’s a great idea! I’ll have to bookmark this for later.

Oh man, the Scripps cams are making me want a beach vacation. It’s been too long since I’ve been to the ocean.

so you could watch traffic and brace for the ordeal before driving off to work.

I forgot about traffic cameras. My region’s highway department has webcams along the major mountain passes. This was good reminder; I will need to check them in a few weeks before I drive through the mountains!

You can turn on the TV and watch those ski resort webcams at like 5am or 6am on TV

This would actually be better than most of my local broadcast TV.

The Associated Press seems to have a decent results presentation ready to go:

I wouldn’t bother watching minute-by-minute. There is a decent chance that some swing state will be close enough to trigger a recount, and/or one side files lawsuits challenging the results. This circus is far from over.

A couple of months ago I wrote a single comment

The modlog shows you were having quite a spat with some mods 5 months ago.

Nothing else

Again, the modlog shows otherwise.

Why bring this up now, five months later?

Making quiche for brunch. Apparently an omelet is fine, but a scrambled omelette is gay.

“What is Beehaw”: https://docs.beehaw.org/docs/core-principles/what-is-beehaw/

TL;DR: Beehaw.org is intentionally curated and moderated to try and maintain a “nice” environment free of aggression and trolling.

The influx of Reddit refugees last year was a bit of a shock to their system. The Beehaw admins have floated the idea of leaving Lemmy entirely.

Oof, what a roller coaster. I wish the best for all of you.

Ooo, this looks cool. So it’s a self-hosted file management tool that lets you follow other users and share files with them?

I assume you mean dollars?

I assume the Fedihosting Foundation would suddenly become a major financial backer of Fediverse projects and instances. Or @ruud@lemmy.world and the money both disappear, never to be seen again. One or the other.

To build on the good answers from superkret and nemo…

The survival Rule of 3’s says that, depending on your situation, you can generally survive:

• three weeks without food.
• three days without drinkable water.
• three hours in a harsh environment (extreme heat or cold).
• three minutes without breathable air, or in icy water.

Finding a way to stay warm and dry at night should probably be your primary concern. Hypothermia kills fast.

It’s your community to manage as you wish. Don’t hesitate to enforce the no politics rule if you see fit.

That said, I think this thread is fun, lighthearted shitposting and would vote to keep it up. If politics posts becomes a trend, though, then that wouldn’t be cool here.

Waning testosterone has some advantages: no more acne, cooler emotions, fewer irrational thoughts. I once heard someone say that young men go through years of testosterone poisoning, and I get it now.

I finally started lifting seriously. I highly recommend it. I look better, feel better, and a lot of little aches and pains that were starting to creep up on me have gone away.

A few gray hairs in the beard looks really sharp.

Tim Walz once held his hands apart to show his buddy the size of the walleye he caught. Then, the very next week, he did the same for a different friend but held his hands slightly farther apart. Inexcusable!

After digging into it, we banned the two sh.itjust.works accounts mentioned in this post. A quick search of the database did not reveal any similar accounts, though that doesn’t mean they aren’t there.

This sounds a bit like a normal non-profit organization, but the board of directors is composed of all donors (the “consumers”).

What’s the incentive for someone to want to be a “worker” in this scenario? I assume they are still paying dues? Are they getting some compensation for doing additional work, or is it an unpaid positions?

I don’t know where in the world you live, but here in the US there is a decades-long trend of people abandoning group social activities in favor of individual activities. Robert Putnam wrote a whole book about it called Bowling Alone back in 2000. Organizations of all kinds have seen declining membership, from adult sports leagues to scouting organizations to PTA groups. If you can find a group of people dedicated enough to form and maintain a club, then you are bucking the trend.

It’s a spoiler. Your Lemmy client isn’t rendering it correctly.

I was working for an HVAC contractor and we did a job at a prison. We would work at night while all the residents were locked up and sleeping. We had a corrections officer escorting us the whole time. The hallways were all on the exterior of the building and lined with large windows. That allowed the guards in the towers outside to watch people moving within the building.

One night, in the wee hours of the morning, we’re walking down the hallway when a red laser dot appears on the wall next to us. All of us contractors freeze instantly. We don’t know what is happening and we DO NOT want to get shot. Our escort gets on his radio and tells the guys in the tower to stop fucking with us. The little red dot disappears and we go on with our night.

We were briefly afraid for our lives because some bored asshole prison guard couldn’t resist flagging us with the muzzle of his rifle and teasing us with the laser sight.

I hear some of the old exploding-heads crew is back as hilariouschaos.com
