Rather silly! Space stations (and Starfleet) operate around the clock, on shifts. Perhaps the writers were up at 4am trying to finish the script!

Economic migration. Young people fleeing high-CoL areas and moving to lower-CoL areas with lots of jobs.

California is just way too expensive!

Stay away from rice then!

It’s very sad to me, because I love rice!

Whole house RO doesn’t really make sense. RO is very slow. It needs a reservoir to store the filtered water which depletes and replenishes in between uses. One shower would blow through a whole month’s supply of RO drinking water.

No need whatsoever to wash dishes or do laundry with RO water.

I have no idea what any of this is but I’m very much intrigued! Beautiful!

It’s a fine hypothesis to suspect that turf causes more injuries than grass but answering that question by looking at where teams play their home games is the wrong approach. You’ll get a much clearer picture by recording where each injury happened.

One of the big issues with your take is that there are confounding factors such as:

• Are teams that play home games on turf better adjusted to it?
• How many division rivals (where a lot of road games are played) have grass vs turf?

I haven’t seen the film but the marketing for it hasn’t been great. It looks like it’s supposed to be this really biting satire but the trailer makes it seem way too over the top and on the nose for that.

Plus I generally think we’re way beyond satire at this point in history. Closing the barn door after all the animals have run away.

Here’s the best part:

They spent trillions building a product worth billions. They don’t even get a moat of it either. All their competitors are perpetually 6 months behind, so they have to keep spending billions more just to keep their heads above water.

Their only hope is to trick the government into regulatory capture so they can finally get their moat. They aren’t even profiting from inference though, so they’re going to continue burning runway.

Wow your buddy has an oddly symmetrical face!

If you’d like more wholesomeness and spiders, check out Travis McEnery’s The Spiders in Your House series. He goes really in depth on tons of spider science, all about common (and uncommon) house spider species! Both wholesome and informative stuff!

No worries! People can be both amused and informed!

Sure, though my comment wasn’t strictly a rebuttal to yours. It was as much an FYI to anyone who stumbled across our comments and has relocated spiders outside out of a desire to save them.

House spiders generally don’t survive outdoors. They’re cave-dwelling species and they seek out indoor spaces by instinct.

And a concrete lid so Sadako can’t escape!

Reddit has a long tail of small communities you really can’t find elsewhere. Some of the ones I frequent tried to move to Lemmy but it really didn’t work out. Ended up moving to Discord, which is far worse than Reddit.

Not sure what you mean by exodus. I “left” Reddit for Lemmy, but Lemmy doesn’t do what I want, so it doesn’t replace Reddit. I went back to Reddit. Now I’m on both, for different reasons.

I don’t have any issues with bots on Reddit, but all the subs I’m on have very small numbers of users. The “equivalent” Lemmy communities are ghost towns where people haven’t made a single post in 2 years.

Watch out for La-Mulana, especially the original Windows version. That game has some insane moon logic puzzles! And it’s an absolutely sprawling Metroidvania with an Indiana Jones theme! Love it!

I’m glad you enjoyed them! I have AM2R but I haven’t played it yet. My favourite game in the series is Metroid 2, followed by Super, and then the original Metroid for NES.

It’s funny how you mention getting lost. I love getting lost in games and trying to find my way out. I love that the first 2 games in the series don’t have a map. A lot of people really seem to hate that though.

They were the movies I grew up with! Watch a movie like The Goonies or Raiders of the Lost Ark. There’s nothing like that these days!

I don’t write them off, I’m just not interested in watching actors in front of a green screen anymore. It doesn’t matter to me how hard CGI artists work because the medium itself has lost appeal for me.

I’m interested in traditional filmmaking techniques: shooting on film, a focus on story and acting, practical effects, matte painting, traditional darkroom and traditional editing (cutting and splicing) etc.

This is why I mostly watch 20th century movies now.
