And you also have to manage politely telling them how silly they've been.

Once got a ticket for "a broken DVD-drive". Went on over. 'Twas a CD-drive.

"Well what was the issue, why didn't my DVD-drive work?"

"Well if you look real close, this is actually a CD drive and thus incapable of reading DVDs"

She took it well enough with humour. Some don't..

Well, yeah, because we've got twice that on stoves and 240 on regular outlets? So it's still just half of what most of Europe is using. Which would very well explain the difference in experiences.

I agree with a lot of that but honestly, what is the Russian capability currently to open up a new front anywhere if we are not talking nuclear war?

Sure they're prepared to waste a lot. But can they waste that much without getting into so severe issues that even their propaganda won't push through? Oh right, I forget, propaganda is basically for foreign states and domestically you can just use threats of violence and arrests.

Also "carrying capacity" is a poor way to talk about bad infrastructure.

The world isn't full. It's built wrong.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

And what actions are those? Like partnering with the west to install a far-right regime?

Why would you partner with someone if you have direct access yourself?

but I wouldn't even put Russia in the top 5 sources of it.

Username does not check out. My crow friends love meatballs.

You're probably on that puny ~110-120 volt supply.

Electric isn't bad when there's enough of it.

I'm currently looking directly at a ~400 volt stove. (My sauna stove, not mainly for cooking, although grilling sausages in a sauna is not unheard of.) I think my cooking stove is on the same sort of high power supply though. And even the regular outlets are 240v.

If an empty bank account is unobserved, is it truly empty?

The amount of money I don't have remains the same, does it not?

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

Yeah I think we all do.

What was it I was watching, yeah, Momoa's new Hawai'i show, and it had a quote in it I found kinda nice: "men practice for war all their lives, yet fear being wrong more than death" or something to that effect.

It honestly do be crazy to me how much humanity is wasting on war.

because it just seems to be a catch-all for when they’ve

That's exactly what it is, actually. It's a diagnosis of exclusion. Ie when you've excluded "all you can think of" (=all they can be arsed with/you can afford) and you still have symptoms, you get IBS diagnosis.

I have it as well.

But IBS is a functional disorder of the large intestine, whereas most of the bad bowel movements I have are kinda orange-ish in colour and very often float. Which lead me to finding out about steatorrhea, having too much fat in your stool. Because that is more linked with small intestine disorders, like celiacs and NCGS.

So essentially I've been hurting from this since the 80's, literally, and the doctors have always either shrugged or just plain not given a fuck. Despite almost four decades of similar symptoms. But then last year I tried an exclusion diet, just rice, fish, potato and chicken, as they're all very low on allergens, especially if you leave out garlic and onions and other allergy-triggering spices.

For meds, the best I had at one point was Litalgin, but it was banned because it lowered white cells or some such. (It was known at the time I used it, you just had to check them regularly but now you can't get it anymore.) But also now that I've mangled my ribcage last year, I got amitriptylin for my ribs and while reading about it on Wikipedia, noticed it's also used for IBS when nothing else helps. And yeah, I think I'm in less pain (from that) than I was before starting it. But it does cause me quite heavy fatigue. Like as in I didn't have anywhere to be so I slept like 14 hours.

It's just so fucking annoying when the doctors are like playing tennis

"no this is a psychiatric thing!"

"nuh-uh, it's a somatic disorder!"

"no it's not, none of the labs are positive!"

"but this guy is clearly suffering and he isn't in any significant way psychiatrically sick so it must be somatic"

"but none of the tests show anything positive so it can't be somatic and thus must be psychosomatic!"

repeat ad nauseam for about thirty years

"Good"?

That's... putting it mildly. It was a straight-up landgrab, a classic war of aggression.

I know it’s not the most pro-Ukraine take out there, but what matters TO ME is that it is my genuine opinion and is consistent with my moral framework and understanding of reality

I think I believe you.

Yeah, that's a nice comment, and restores my faith in at least some Russians. Thanks. I'd love for the political divisions to just go away so we could actually enjoy each other's cultures. But as of now, eh.

I most certainly can say that I've formed my own opinions, yes. Having them has caused a lot of issues, but yeah, I can definitely say they're mine and I'm not just "going with it" in I hope anything I do. Well sometimes the thought-out thing is to "go with it" but that's a whole other issue that's not relevant politically, as in, I'm talking about using public transport basically, not conforming to fascist political ideologies.

Various other Russians on the platform, take heed

 

The agency said the source of the interference had been traced to Russian territory, and also affected shipping. Other European nations have accused Russia of being behind the jamming, which Moscow denies.

 

North Karelia force says fence dividing Finland and Russia is no Berlin Wall – but it is now a key geopolitical faultline

... In an attempt to strike a note of optimism, he added: “We found a solution in 1944 and I’m sure that we will be able to find a solution in 2025.”

Matti Pitkäniitty, the commander of the North Karelia border guard district, believes illegal border crossings involving Russian defectors are likely to become a growing problem. Pointing to a gap in the vegetation where an old Finnish country lane passed through before the border was redrawn in 1940 after the Russo-Finnish war, resulting in Helsinki ceding part of Karelia, Pitkäniitty said most civilians trying to cross illegally preferred to stick to roads, limiting the number of potential routes.

“People are afraid of those thick forests here,” he said. But this would not be an issue for a Russian military professional trying to flee the war in Ukraine. “Now, one of the risks we are facing are the military-trained personnel fleeing the war. They of course know how to navigate through the woods and how to survive there if they need to stay out of sight for a couple of days.”

 

This is an old picture, I'm working up hunger to cook burgers today but the problem is the hungrier you get the less energy you'll have.

I got some beef and horse that I'm gonna mix, add a little beef fat to make a nice 75/25 mix i think or 80/20.

I want to eat to have energy to cook what a paradox

 

Calling out davriellelouna@lemmy.world obvious spam makes them delete my comment and ban me as a spammer.

A SINGLE COMMENT on their community is spam, but someone posting 10-minute reads every 5-minutes 247/365 isn't spam?

Honestly whoever mod this was, however fking stupid are you to let your emotions take over and admit I'm right by banning me for one comment calling out literal spam?

Ah, Lemmy is occasionally really entertaining (because unlike them, my life isn't on the line so I don't get upset like they seem to :D)

 

They're so insecure that they don't understand that banning me for calling out davriellelouna@lemmy.world as davel@lemmy.ml proxy spam account is "bad faith".

How is it in bad faith? These people don't even understand the words of the rules they're using, lol.

Literally every accusation from them is an admission, and because I called out bad-faith users spamming links, I got banned supposedly for arguing in bad faith.

Feels like lemmy is mostly just russians, honestly, which is understandable as the pathetic fuckers can't engage anyone on any properly moderated forums

 

Don't know who bothers paying for these and why.

Not the best use of money I can think of, lol.

 

I've nothing to add.

 

Like a palms width away from the elbow, on the inside of your right forearm.

So... why do you have them?

 

But browsing active >95% of posts are by a user with literally "bot" in their name.

Might as well be reading the Google feed if I'm going to be reading a specific agenda by something, at least that's based on my interests and I can trust Google to put profit over everything, making their motives clearer than whatever the fuck is going on on Lemmy. (Cough tankies cough cough)

 

That's it. I'm looking for a specific bit, can't seem to find it. About a standup being impressed by a crusty old junkie tasting the sub-par quality of the drugs through injecting them?

It's not like the core of the bit, it's just on the sides iirc. It's someone like Tom Segura, John Mulaney, Jim Jefferies, uh... idk. I went through Ali Siddiq, Ari Shaffir, and a bunch of others. Tried using LLM's to help me search as well. Just can't seem to narrow it down, fucking brain full of weed can't remember anything clearly. Maybe Sam Morrill?

But I'm pretty sure there's a bit where a standup talks about some veteran drug user injecting either heroin/cocaine, probably cocaine iirc, and then sort of getting a bad taste in their mouth, and the comedian expressing how impressed they were that the user could taste the adulterants through the needle.

I hear the sarcastic tone, but ugh, can't recall who.

I'm just posting this on the off-chance someone just knows the bit and can tell me.

Edit found it it was Marc Maron and “the Legend of Frankie Bastille”

Took me a fucking while

 

That's kinda it.

Four years of photos, videos, notes and thoughts, recordings of my now passed dad and grandma, etc.

Last photos of my father, actually. Fuck.

Probably accidentally dropped it in the bin when I used it as a webcam one time when I was as drunk as a skunk. Then had no use for it between that and taking the thrash out. And that was a few weeks ago, so even dumpster diving wouldn't help now.

Hell, that guy looking for his bitcoin has waster years and millions.

I guess I can manage with photos other people have, I guess. I don't really have people to look at the photos with, so guess it shouldn't matter.

I'd be grateful if you could make me care less about my massive — but boring — fuckup.

Edit I'm trying to list things I probably won't miss. My notes are mostly incoherent brain farts I have over and over. And recordings of officials won't matter as no-one cares and they're too late for justice. Photos and videos, really. But I have no-one to browse them with so whatever.

I'll definitely pay more attention to backing up

 

Rick & Morty may not translate directly into live action well, but here's a show to scratch some of that itch perhaps; "Counterpart".

There's no comedy, but like the edginess and inner conflict Rick has. That is sort of what I get from this, a little.

Pretty good imdb rating. I'm 8 episodes in, I like it. JK Simmons could definitely pull off a Rick. One of the more serious ones at least.
