I ended up occasionally chugging about half a liter of water before going, because this started happening.

That seems to actually do something very useful when I think I've not had enough water prior, but I don't actually know the details of how the body moves and uses that water. It intuitively feels like 2-3 minutes should be too short of a time-span to start doing useful work, but it still seems to work.

In general not using piddly little 0.2l glasses and instead keeping a large glass or bottle with me isn't just helpful, it's vitally important. I simply can't get by occasionally drinking small glasses of water. Other than the first day I'd resolve to start drinking more water again, I never went to fill them up enough times to actually get sufficient hydration for my size.

Additionally, I've learnt to feel my hydration on my lips, if they're dry I need a drink. But I am an unreliable, irrational actor. I don't always pay enough attention, or stay on top of things even if I notice, so I'm likely to resort to desperately chugging water again.

All wafers, cookies, chips, biscuits, crispbread and hardtack I've ever seen have been atomic.

I struggle to imagine one that wouldn't be.

I've willfully disregarded botanical terminology every since I learned it.

Bad practice, picking generic terms to define differently.

Many of us are. Some of us are not.

So much malice.

Weird.

I'd have expected Assassin's Creed Odyssey achievements to be added to Assassin's Creed Valhalla.

It does? I should watch the show.

I'm sure I have accepted many different things as likely without rigorous proof. Reality and my understanding of it don't exactly match. Quantum level chaos significantly affecting neurons is a new idea to me, though.

I don't.

But I'm about to ensure nobody ever gets to buy any Winnie the Pooh stuff ever again. I will obliterate every trace.
I have my reasons.

First statement is a bit of an exaggeration, don't you think? We already predict a lot with useful accuracy.

But I get that in some things, chaos inhibits useful prediction.

Surfing an internet full of randomly generated "viruses" that mostly do nothing, but sometimes change things?

 

It is at 361,826 out of 1,000,000 signatures with the remaining trickle after the initial spike nowhere near the pace needed to hit the mark before the 31st of July 2025.

(https://www.reddit.com/r/StopKillingGames/comments/1flaevi/let_me_put_the_current_campaign_progress_into_a/)

I interpret the state of Ross Scott's SKG campaign like this:
It's pretty clear that democratically speaking, we do not object to companies arbitrarily removing access to purchased video games. Only a minority objects to it.

While it will stay up and get more signatures, there will ultimately be no follow-through to this campaign. The reality is that it's not politically sound, it's not built on a foundation of a real public desire for change. In other words, voters don't want it. You might, but most of your family and friends don't want it.

 

Too many users here prefer smaller communities and have openly stated they aren't interested in making accommodations to pursue growth to a truly large platform, even if it could be.

Lemmy is the sort of site that will linger in the background and quietly die out, it'll occassionally be mentioned in the same sorts of conversation that bring up old alternatives like voat, rare conversations with few readers.

I had some optimism at the growth spurt, but seeing what the opinions of users here were, that hope turned into cynicism. As I forgot about Lemmy, it's irrelevance was reinforced. It would be best, I think, if this foundation could replace its competitors. But I don't think it's going to happen.

I don't think you want common idiots to like the site.

 

I posted a comment with a link to an article on CNN and several links to architecture and construction websites. It seems like reddit doesn't like comments with untrusted links? Are they being subtly hidden from the thread?

If this is being done at any scale at all I wonder if it's a significant cause of the feeling that the internet has shrunk into a few main sites, linking to a recognizable relatively small selection of news and media sources.

 

Is it just random letters arrived to by keyboard mashing like a lot of federated websites seem, or is there any thought behind it?

 

It's always particularly nice and soft the first time you put it on, but the one I got most recently is so bad it leaves a thin but thorough coat of black fur on my arms when I take it off. What's the production methods used when making sweaters like this?
