Get well soon! Better vacicne aches than catching the actual thing, at least.

It’s hard to believe that they have any bones at all.
If I tried to sleep like the cat does, I’d end up with backache for the next century.

Either its under salted, or it’s oversalted to the point where eating some is like crunching a salt lick.
Almost impressive how KFC manages to straddle either side of the line.

Good luck ! The cover letters have been the hardest and most troublesome part for me.
How anyone can crank out and personalise more than one a day (let alone 20) is a complete mystery.

A spot of fish now and then also won’t go amiss.

Its also the winter solstice (or as close as), ans as such, there’s a Solstice celebration event thing going on at CERES, if anyone wants to pop in and have a peek. Doesn’t seem to be all that much, though.
Would also not recommend buying food there. Had a peek at the prices, and they’re corked ($9 for a small box of chips?!), even before any likely surcharge.
On the bright side, the cold weather seems to have let up some today, which is nice. We’ve had more than our fair share of chills for the past day or two.
- Comment on Kate Mulgrew told Rick Berman she wanted a gay character on the Voyager bridge 1 week ago:
I think they’d be more likely to say homosexuality is illogical and repress it. Could make an interesting plot point.
The converse is that making a specific distinction based on sexuality like that is also illogical in what is supposedly the enlightened 24th century Federation.
They’re not the ancients of the 21st century, who would be so concerned with such primitive things.
- Comment on Is it just a coincidence that Chromium and Firefox have similar version numbers? 2 weeks ago:
One of the reasons why the 1/3rd pound burger lost to the 1/4 pound burger, was because people saw the 1/4, and thought that the quarter-pound was larger for some inexplicable reason.

Anyone got some pet pictures to spare?
Been a bit lost and depressed lately (see spoiler), so could do with a bit of distracting/cheering-up.
Thanks to uni shenanigans.
Spent somewhere close of 3 months of back and forth, only to find out that my WAM is 0.25% too low to qualify for the honours programme I was hoping for/need to do for job/further study reasons.

Near constantly. Downside of living in a dusty house is that a day after cleaning it, it’s already starting to get dirty again.
- Comment on If a universal basic income started today with the stipulation that you had to put 40 hrs/wk towards making the world a better place or solving societal problems, how would you spend your time? 2 months ago:
Unclear. But eventually, people would work. People get bored, it’s nice to have something to do, and get paid extra on top of it.
UBI just ensures that if they don’t like a job, they can just quit, rather than be forced to keep working on pain of starvation.
Tests so far seem to be fairly positive about it working. People who get UBI aren’t likely to sit on that money, they’ll just go and spend it either paying back debts, or buying something nice for themselves, so the money will keep going around. They might even buy more than they might otherwise have, if they’re not just scraping by.

Making the world a better place doesn’t need to be some grandiose revolutionary affair.
All the little things you do while being alive would add up. Whether it’s hanging out with a friend, giving your pet some extra pats, or cleaning up your own space, and that would put you a good deal of the way there, if not be enough on its own.

Especially the limited-chance ones, or the ones where you have to wait on someone to respond, where a non-response could either be denial, or just them being busy for a few weeks.

How was it?
- Comment on Why is "Dear X" considered more formal than "To X" in e-mail/writing? 2 months ago:
Or at least, for introductions.
Probably fine once dialogue is established.

You might be able to. Microsoft kept the Windows 10 upgrade page for a good long while, so it might still be possible.
As Adobe is considering people using old versions of Photoshop as not having permission.
Realistically, as a non-solicitator, I can’t see them winning that argument. People paid for that version of Photoshop, and are using it. They’re not using it to sneak into some special upgrade programme.
It would be like Sony showing up to your house to confiscate all your CDs, because its old enough they decided that you no longer have permission to own the thing.

They might not be. We’re already starting to run into the limits of silicon as it is, and I can’t imagine that we can keep pushing it for another 3 decades.

Is the incorrect password just the default error?
It seems slightly confusing for Lemmy to show an incorrect password error for a disallowed email service.

Finally got around to some of the cleaning that I’ve been putting off a while. Not the best day for it, but at least the house is now tidy. Ish.

Don’t grills use charcoal briquettes rather than actual lumps of coal?
- Comment on Why do we castrate animals instead of giving them vasectomies? 2 months ago:
Wouldn’t doing that just provide a massively increased risk of necrosis/infection, since you’ve now got dead tissue just hanging about?
At least for small animals, they usually go the surgical route with surgical removal of the gonads, rather than using a rubber band.
I know they use the rubber band method for large animals, although that could easily be due to risks associated with anaesthesia/surgery than anything else, since it’s a lot harder to operate on something like a horse compared to a cat.
- Comment on Why do we castrate animals instead of giving them vasectomies? 2 months ago:
I mean, the process of a vasectomy is basically cutting the vas deferens in the testes. It’s arguably less complicated than removing them completely, since you have a smaller wound, and less bleeding because you’re not severing very many blood vessels in the process. If nothing else, recovery should be faster.
- Comment on Why do we castrate animals instead of giving them vasectomies? 2 months ago:
At least in people, though, doing that can also cause problems like bone density loss, which seems like it might cause more health issues than it would otehrwise help.

All are good. Even better when you blend them together in a hot choco, but the sugar content tends to be quite horrific.
