Most of this article seems to be a hype scare. Mostly affects people with a severe immunodeficiency. HIV/AIDS or on immunosuppressants. Says it’s treatable nowadays.

Your band camp must’ve been the shit.

But aren’t they all running on open source infrastructure? Well, except for the ones who’ve undergone cosmetic surgery

If they’re going all in AI then they’re gonna have to do better that their barely adequate Rovo chat feature.

Getting high on their own supply again I see.

Andean Condors - multiple of them. I want them to fly me around. “Today we fly, my birds!” - in exchange, I will give them as much food as they would ever need.

Isn’t it ironic

Slightly more political now, I feel like there used to be a lot more learning and sharing of culture. We did have some other oddballs though - flossdaily, Unidan, voilentacrez - not sure we have as much of that on the fediverse…at least not those that reach the front pages.

Scientists said our generation were getting food allergies because we weren’t getting exposed enough to things.

So we start stuffing our kids chock full of Pb&Js again and now they’re dumber. Great. Explain that one scientists!

For someone to completely uproot their life, separate from most of their family, their friends and their upbringing takes guts. I’ve moved within my own country a few times and it was jarring enough.

People who are willing to such should be celebrated. I personally appreciate the culture, entertainment and food that they bring with them.

That said, I worked at UConn for a few months for a project, and I was taken aback by how many students were of Asian descent compared to how many were white or black. It made me reflect just how much more populous that part of the world is.

And while I do celebrate culture, and am even a proponent of open borders generally, I do think culture needs to be preserved. I live in the US and not China for a reason. The people who move from China, for more than a short term visit, should expect to follow American laws and social norms. That is to say, come freely to add onto our patchwork quilt here, but be ready to add to it, rather than replacing an existing patch with your own.

As for what people think here. I live in a small college town. We have folks from other cultures here already. I think they would be welcomed in town generally, but the outlying county folks would have more reservations - they’d be more accepting for those that talked or acted like them, hunting, fishing, 4-wheeling, big trucks and all of that.

Ah yes, the lazy man’s yogurt.

Whiskey, the social laxative hero we all wanted, but didn’t know we needed.

I got onto design there for a while. Sketchup Make is still free out there if you can find it. Blender is also an option.

Learning is another option. Khan Academy, MIT Open Courseware.

Brewing, taking care of plants, terrariums, puzzles, bonsai, yoga. All good stuff.

Came here to say this. I attend 1-2 times a month and mine has so far taught me about breathing exercises for meditation and the shadow self from Jung. Just a group of great people also searching for community.

Someone produced a puff piece about the line and how it’s transformed Saudi Arabia. It’s biased (so keep that in mind) but it’s also well produced and answers some questions retroactively on why the Line was so important to SA even if it failed to become reality. It’s worth a watch:

I came in to comment Bosch as well, but it seems they’re already well represented here. That said >$1000 was a steep friggin price for a dishwasher, not sure I’d do it again.
