They’re pretty bland. Kinda melt-in-your-mouth. You can get them from a Catholic supply store, or you can order them online, if you want to try them out. They’ll sell them to anyone, they only care about limiting who eats them after they’ve been consecrated during mass.

Represents‽ No they are the body and blood of santa
Bah. You Catholics and your Transubstantiation, and the Evangelicals and their Memorialism, are both wrong.
The body and blood of Santa are present in, with, and under the cookies and milk.
- Comment on Well, I guess that settles it 1 month ago:
I actually don’t disagree. That’s certainly the connotation that comes with “terrorism.”
It’s also not how the legal definition works, unfortunately, which is just vague enough to let the FBI decide what is and isn’t terrorism based on how they feel about something. As I understand it, anyway. And since what he did falls under the legal definition, they can charge him with it.

- Comment on Well, I guess that settles it 2 months ago:
The perpetrator of an act of terrorism isn’t part of the definition. They need not be affiliated with a group or military.
I find it curious how many people on Lemmy were gleefully posting about CEOs and billionaires being scared because of this attack, and then to see push-back about the label of terrorism (where fear is part of the outcome, hence the name).
The saying is “one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter,” right?
- Comment on Well, I guess that settles it 2 months ago:
Well then define non-combatants.
“a person who is not engaged in fighting during a war, especially a civilian, chaplain, or medical practitioner.”
Sure he was responsible for deaths due to denying health coverage. But he’s still a civilian.

That story is REMARKABLE. I’ve seen the Air Disasters version and the Mentour Pilot version and both are told very well.

Dude… I’ve gone pretty fast down some hills. It feels way safer to be going real slow and fall over than going 50 mph downhill on a road bike in a nice straight line.
FWIW, 50kph is 31mph, not 50mph.
I frequently bike around 28mph (45kph), cause that’s where my eBike maxes out its pedal assist. It’s not so bad, assuming your gearing is set up so that you aren’t pedaling so hard it destabilizes the bike (I had to swap in a larger chainring to safely maintain those speeds).
But also the comparison isn’t whether it’s safer, it’s whether it’s more stable. A bike going fast is more stable than a bike going slow because the motion of the bike keeps itself upright. It’s not a perfect analogy for gliding, but it’s similar enough to help understand. What may seem to someone inexperienced to be the less-ideal condition is actually more ideal.
- Comment on This Op Shop seems to have ordered their secondhand books by colour for some reason 2 months ago:
my wife threatened divorce if I “cluttered” our house with all the books.
Storms, that would drive me nuts. Then again, I don’t have 1800 books. 😅
- Comment on I'm an educator and have to tell my students the same lie every day. 2 months ago:
Being kind is its own reward. Life is generally better if you try to make life better for others. Not like life will be perfect, but better than it would be otherwise.
Like, when I used to work shitty part-time jobs, if I went in with a good attitude and was as kind to those around me as I could be, I had a better day than if I was grumpy and did the bare minimum. Got paid the same shitty wage either way, but my life was better when I was kinder. Sure some people take advantage of that kindness, but most will reflect it back to you.
There can be ways that hard work and kindness lead to material rewards. But in general it is worth being kind simply because you’ll enjoy life more.
(Also, I wouldn’t have married my wife if I hadn’t been kind and befriended someone a lot of other people thought was frustrating or annoying. I had met my wife previously, but only knew her in passing. Years later, we re-met at that friend’s birthday party. Started dating a few months later, and now we’re married! That mutual friend can still sometimes be frustrating or annoying, but we always try to be kind to her because that’s what brought us together.)

Not that I have any horse in this race, but for the record there’s a profound difference between abstinence and moderation, and if you don’t think there are gradations between “alcoholic levels of ethanol consumption” and “no alcohol consumption,” then perhaps they have a point.
Be good to yourself, my friend.

I’ve seen a setup like this where it made sense. Not nearly a long enough run for proper steps, but alternating half-steps allow you to get height faster. But this just seems like they did it for fun.

A footlong sub can be a meal, if you put enough stuff on it. And the veggies don’t make it cost more. Just load it up with everything and get your money’s worth.
