I'll fuck, kill and then marry Vance.
Ah I see. Thanks.
I feel I'm missing something then. Anyone care to explain? (I know about the couch thing, that its his wife in the middle, and that the pope died after he visited him).
Diablo II 😍
En het is er gewoon gezellig.
Beautiful story. Thank you.
I missed that one. Poop knife?
Why specifically upload?
How can governments restrict satellite internet?
I'm reading here:
As Starlink’s user base grows, the Iranian government is likely to intensify efforts to restrict satellite internet access.
How could they do so?
Where is this book banned for children for being a bad influence?
Is this true? Can anyone confirm this?

Looks cool, but maybe not put (what could be easily seen as) a racist charicature as a top example.
Cooking is a good idea yes. Thanks!
Thank you. I love this idea.
No need. I do speak it well enough for normal conversation. I dont get all the local word jokes and sayings, but most of I understand.
I already do. (The family doesn't speak English so there is no other way.)
I do speak their language. Not fluently but enough to have a normal conversation.
Tips to open up family dynamics
Hi all. For several years I have been together with my partner, who is from a different country and speaks a different language. Together we mostly speak English, but her family does not.
We quite regularly go on holiday with her family, and this is what my question is about: about (how to change) the social dynamics of such holidays.
The point is: together her family has a lot to talk about, even if it is about nothing. They have their internal jokes. They are all very much "tuned into" each other.
As a result, they find it very hard to have attention, time or space for me. Don't get me wrong, I don't have to be in the center of the attention. And yes, I guess this discomfort is partly the result of the privilege of being accustomed to more open, social dynamics that are more inclusive (with my own friends and family). But after several days without talking and without being talked to, it gets quite tough.
In "normal situations" I consider myself quite social and open. But in
What pest is this?
This pest is kind of beautiful but also terrible. What is it? Any tips for how to get rid of it, besides cleaning all the leaves?
You must be a geologist.
How did Spanish conquistadores like Gonzalo Jimenez de Quesada sail up the Magdalena?
Name showing in log in?
Small question: I am on Debian and use Gnome. I'm the only user on this laptop.
Is it possible to hide my username from the log in screen? So that only the password field shows?
The point is, my login name is my first name, and I don't like it ...
- ... when people in public transport can see my first name when I log in
- ...that if I lose my laptop, the people who find it can easily know my first name
I realize I could also simply pick a username that is not my first name, but it would save me a lot of reconfiguration if I could simply hide the name from the login screen.
Are lunar calendars more common in civilizations at lower latitudes?
Given that annual fluctuations in solar irradiation become less pronounced the closer you get to the equator, it might get less relevant to track time by referring to our position to the sun?
Fossilesque appreciation post
This is not a science meme.
I just want to take a moment to thank @[email protected] for providing us with so much quality content.
Really improves my day!
Would CSAR also apply to decentralized encrypted messaging services/protocols like Matrix?
If so how could they enforce that?

How come there are currently large low pressure zones at North Pole and South Pole?
Looking at https://zoom.earth/maps/pressure/
Given the much lower temperatures at the poles, I would expect the pressure to be (much) higher.
I'm reading here and there that air pressure at the antarctic is low because of its high altitude, but these maps show (I presume?) MSLP?
Is Bluesky (going to be) as community-run as Mastodon?
Reading this article, and especially the end ...
CEO Jay Graber told The Verge that the plan is to hand over control of the AT protocol to a web standards body like the Internet Engineering Task Force.
... it almost sounds as if Bluesky is (going to be) as community-run as Mastodon.
But I'm suspicious. What is the catch?
