During a period with seemingly very little good news in the world, I really needed this. Assuming it was done for the optics it conveys, it's some much needed reassurance that our allies actually have our back. Granted, we're still absolutely fucked in the short term if the worst happens, it's still nice to see.

Well, that clears that up then.

A developer wanted to build a facility to capture carbon. Locals saw an environmental menace.

I have a cool idea for a facility to capture carbon in a non-menacing way. What we do is get a big chunk of land and plant a bunch of trees on it, then - oh, shit, I just invented a forest.

I mostly listen to death-doom rather than strict death metal, but there's a fair bit of that out there. My two faves in the genre:

Draconian has clean female vocals alongside growled male.

Swallow the Sun has a wide range of vocal styles, but getting increasingly cleaner pretty much every album (along with clean female vocals on a lot of tracks).

Again, this is death-doom so a lot of the stuff will be a little slower-tempo than straight death.

Except it's actually the best of both worlds for the rich - as far as I know, a lot of these companies are publicly traded AND receive public funding.

Good call. Everything is Zeus's type.

I guess this makes the Midwest the taint of America.

Tell Rizzo he's one of the cutest pups I've ever seen.

That makes sense. I also totally get you on the last point. As soon as I manage to own a house, the yard is getting planted with local flora, fruit bushes, and a vegetable garden.

I think for some people it's like a form of meditation, especially for those with a big lawn and a riding mower. I don't personally get it, but that's the vibe these guys give off.

I'd start by deciding what your goals are, so you know what to work towards in terms of hardware, software, and processes. Once you've got some sort of an idea, explore ways to accomplish it and post your questions in this community. It can be super overwhelming to get started, but the research and problem-solving is half the fun.

Thanks for the reminder. Literally just booked mine (along with a COVID booster) after seeing this.

 

I just wanted to thank Tmpod for creating this community. I was complaining about a general lack of places for episode discussions on the Fediverse, and Tmpod mentioned thinking about starting a community for The Boys. Given that I'm also a fan of the show, I'm very happy to have a place to share thoughts on the episodes of this new season.

I'm now prioritizing watching the currently-released episodes of Season 4 asap so I can help get this party started.

Tmpod is a great example of what makes the Fediverse so great!
