Primitive technology. There are many imitators, but the original is a man on his own in new Zealand. His videos focus on building structures in the woods. Starting with river mud, he will make a furnace in order to make bricks in order to make a building to sleep in in order to use it for kiln drying for larger structures etc…

Be sure to watch with subtitles to read his explanation of things!

The Real World is an ongoing reality show on MTV. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy was in the 1997 season that took place in Boston Massachusetts.

In my experience, the matching part doesn’t really mean anything other than the conversation between the two of you is now possible. Both of you need to participate in that conversation. And it needs to go well if it means you’ll have a date. The statistics are not great for men, and nothing is organic about the process, so you just have to protect your feelings and understand that if they don’t talk to you, or if it doesn’t go well, it can be for any number of reasons.

Try your best to not get frustrated, because each individual person is doing their own thing, it’s not you versus all potential matches. You are you. They are them. It just doesn’t work out sometimes

I would want to do so many things. I would want to do a ninja warrior type course, but with adjusted gravity or something. I’d make it into a gym with everything I need for my workout. That or maybe recreate a sports stadium and watch football from today, because I missed all of it? The possibilities are endless

I read through the non paywalled link and I couldn’t find any info on if this analysis adjusts for inflation or not. 17 times larger (before inflation possibly) seems so ripe for cherry picked data points in the name of sensationalism, that I wanted to confirm this one idea, and I didn’t. Did anyone else find anything like that?

Maybe this is the one they put in the museum

I started needing glasses when I was 13. I couldn’t see the writing on the chalkboard any more. My eyes have slowly gotten worse since then and nowadays I need them all the time. It’s still an adjustment every time I get a new pair, but you get used to it real quick

Freakazoid was unhinged and spastic in a way I haven’t seen since

As I recall, aeon flux started in the United States on mtv as part of its “liquid television” block in the early 90s. Back when the station was owned by viacomm, same as Nickelodeon. It shared several voice actors with Rugrats too

He is ineligible for the next one. Don’t ever forget that

Can confirm. I have 10 year old pi2 that is dedicated to pi hole and even that is not utilizing all of its 1gb of memory

I’m going to grad school soon for cs and they require windows 11. This is gonna be a fun test in locking down my machine and only doing updates with intention

I don’t have an answer to this question, but I will provide my anecdote.

I have a smallish bin inside for all of my recycling. I rinse out of my bottles and cans in water so that the bin doesn’t get stinky. I’m not required to in my area, I just don’t like the smell of stale beer or old beans lurking next to my door.

My process is to just leave any bottles/cans/drinks that are recyclable next to my sink and when I do the dishes, I rinse them all out at the end and put them in the drying rack. the next morning they go to the inside bin. When the inside bin is full, I move that to the outside bin. Not too much effort, and my house smells (relatively) good

I miss the random passion of /r/CFB. It was great because all of the toxicity normally in sports was gone, and everyone was just enjoying the game and news about their teams. In the off-season people would concoct the most convoluted, elaborate shitpost for why their team is the best. I think my favorite essay was once about how the Alabama Crimson Tide’s greatest enemy wasn’t any other team, but the full moon, and went into a heavy statistical data dive to demonstrate how the teams few losses (they were seriously on an unprecedented run for over a decade) all came on or around the full moon. That and the team are the Tide, so of course it’s the moon.

That type of energy focuses on college football is lacking in Lemmy, and I haven’t found something similar here yet

This puts into words what I’ve been feeling more and more over the years. I felt that Reddit had developed some sort of language all its own (thanks for the gold kind stranger, happy cakeday, etc), that felt off to me. On top of that, the sensationalism, and the ever increasing political echo chambers, and then closing the API access to force everyone onto their own app out the final nail in the coffin for me. I’m not off reddit entirely, but I’ve gone read only and only on a computer. Lemmy seems more organic, and genuine to me

Pardon my reddit jargon, but there is a Lemmy equivalent to a sub for “would anyone be interested in X topic?” That might be a good way to help. It also makes another community for people to adopt and use, though, which is the problem you’re describing

I was just thinking “maybe I can just give them my email…” but of course it isn’t that simple

I have tried to incorporate sonarr and radarr into my plex server, but I just cannot figure out why they are not connecting and talking to each other. I need to get that working

I do think it’s important to keep up to date. Even discounting the things I can’t control getting through my filters, there have been things that have directly affected my family and their jobs because of things Trump has done and I did not know about until after the fact. There is a line somewhere that you should be aware of, or else you may just be burying your head in the sand.

Separately, I use boost for Lemmy on android. Thank you for telling me about tesseract. I haven’t been as successful with any keyword filters in browser

I’ve taken a bit of a different approach. I’ve been using a keyword filter to remove posts that contain any words I don’t care to read about. So no posts about trump, Elon, RFK, cyber trucks, etc.

I am not here to get that kind of news, I do that separately with the news sources I can trust and verify. Otherwise any tabloid or sensational opinion piece can potentially try to ruin my day all in the name of getting clicks
