That 56 sparks street, Ottawa, right?
Mamadou Ndiaye - aka Casual Geographic - needs to come here and do so, so many new Hinterland Who’s Who eps for us.
We should give him a new passport as part of the deal if he wants it. He’s like a national treasure for more than a few nations.

1987 here, I think. Started at c$3.65 , but minimums moved to $3.80 the next week and so did I.
Red poly tie, red striped button-down poly shirt, black heavy cotton-poly pants. The company supplied them, but I had to replace any pieces I wrecked.
People bitched about the button shirt vs a sloppy pullover jersey, but it was easier to clean. Ultimately I saw a preference for the dumb button-downs.

Nah. My wife has naturally wavy hair. She goes to work with it blow-dried, flattened, and a little plain-looking. On weekends she does none of those things, and it looks gorgeous and wavy and bouncy. Maybe I just have a definite preference – Even Jen Psaki on the TV - gorgeous already - looks better in her other, more natural style, and she’s probably got advisors telling her to vamp it up.

“Banned in most Developed Countries” would be inaccurate since South Korea and Japan hasn’t banned it
Do we agree there’s a difference between ‘most’ and ‘all’?

- Comment on Apple TV+ is painful as fuck 6 days ago:
I don’t have an apple TV. Or an iPhone.
I have Apple TV for a while, during the ForAllMankind days and especially Ted Lasso. Some of their TV is great.
But killing my subscription took me three tries. Holy hopping shit, Hannah, was it a bag-drive just to find the page and make it happen. Their entire website is one big incestuous circle asking you why you don’t have an iProduct and why not buy one here.
I’m 30 years in Linux, I should mention, and I worked at a distro building and securing Linux and AT&T Unix, and I’m somewhat nerdy. Still. It was such a mortal trial.
Never going back.
Remember when the US successfully sued and dismantled companies using their market presence to unfair advantage?

Just because no one said it was there, doesn’t mean it wasn’t.
It’s like vaccines and autism and other things RFK doesnt believe in. They still exist!

…and in the '80s they taught us
- ’80s is an abbreviation

Good times.

Dude. Politics is huge right now because we’re going through a tough time globally. It’s a lot of people justifying cruelty and invasions.
These were the hot topics so that’s what grew fastest. Remember that Lemmy is still kinda new.
I know that if I need an oura-/smart ring community I can either wait or I can start one. I’m not gonna start one as it’d be negligent of me.
What do you want to see? What do you not? Find or start what you want, and block what you do not.

You know that truck nuts are gender-affirming care, right? Those trucks weren’t born with those nuts.
Next time you spot a hillbilly peeking under a bathroom stall, remind them of that!

I love this guy’s content. Maybe because it’s related to nature in all its deadly splendour, but I often do a double-take on the ‘will kill you’ euphemisms.
This guy needs to reboot Hinterland Who’s Who for Canada.
- Comment on Anon is a fighter 2 weeks ago:
Gorillas mostly leave people alone because they don’t find us the slightest bit threatening.
I love this statement. It sounds entirely true, it’s really trivializes the part of humans when they attempt to overcome nature and its bouncers, and it also means I maybe have a chance of not dying if I ever should find myself surrounded by Gorillas and shitless (see if my natural shark repellent works here too) .
- Comment on I have a shamefully dark question for firefighters. I'm sorry but I'm just too curious to not ask... It's about the smell and how that affects life. 3 weeks ago:
I don’t know how firefighters prevent the PTSD.
24 years ago I passed through the area of the disaster site in NYC, and the smells linger in my brain even now. One smell is smoky and ashy and dusty, another is a burny smell that’s different, and there’s one unrelated smell that’s unique to that area that will also trigger me. These days it’s a lot of “I gotta process this a bit more, but I’m okay” but they’ll still set me off a bit.
My grandad went to Normandy , my dad was a firefighter, and I’m glad I’m just a computer nerd. The most stressful thing I should have to do is make sense of all the broken things RedHat jammed together and sold as a product.

- Comment on When the world connected on Skype 4 weeks ago:
Skype is still a very good voice chat app, despite a succession of cluttered and pointless updates. It’s clear and clean in sound, and has an excellent gain tuner.
I will use it until the day it dies, and then switch to WhatsApp or something else. It’s all shit by comparison, so I’m not too chuffed as to where I go. Yeah, it’s all junk.
But with my contacts on Whatsapp, signal, teams, slack, and zoom, this feels so much like the pre-jabber days where pidgin was the only sane app. Now we don’t even have that.
This is lame.
