  • Plug for Medito, which is a free non-profit for guided meditations. Not sure if the apps are open-source but still, they're a good organization in stark contrast to the many other meditation companies that are very much for-profit.

  • For Star Trek, there is an in-universe explanation which is essentially that Humanity and many other classic humanoid species you see (Klingons, Vulcans, Romulans, et al) were all essentially "seeded" by the same ancient race of aliens. That race (the Progenitors) evolved way earlier than everyone else and found themselves alone in the galaxy, so they got down to the seeding. (I know this has also been touched on in S5 of Discovery so please forgive me if they changed anything lol)

  • I don't know that my absolute favorite artist has a bad song. But here are a few songs I hate by artists that I love:

    Bloc Party (original lineup/first 4 albums): 3 x 3. Not sure why, just feels anxious in a bad way? Always a skip for me.

    Keane: Ishin Denshin (You've Got To Help Yourself). This is a cover from an EP so maybe too deep of a cut, but man do I hate this track. Just feels cloying and awkward. Like they were trying to recreate the original but were too in awe of it.

    Peter Bjorn and John: The Feeling. The first track from their true followup to Writer's Block. Just feels like it's a song that's weird for the sake of being weird.

  • I think a significant part of this problem is that, from what we can see in the photo, they 100% should have pulled forward so that they didn't entirely block the sidewalk. Someone coming through there on a wheelchair or with a stroller would have a real bad time. It also looks like it's out in the road a little, which is very inconsiderate as well.

  • I know there is a wide variety of times but I feel like 2/3rds of the farmer's markets near me are at inconvenient times for me. "3-7PM on a weekday" nope, "8AM-12PM on sunday" MAYBE if I wake up early and am feeling adventurous.

  • Good on ya! I got mine a few years back at 27 and haven't had a single regret. Taking an active role in family planning and making sure your partner(s) don't need to deal with the side effects of birth control is awesome.

    How do you find motivation when it's not there?

    Whether it be to do your job, get your schoolwork done, clean your house, work on your creative passion, etc.

    Bonus points if you're someone without reasonable self-control so saying something like "I can only have a cookie after I do this/while I do this" doesn't work for you and you're just going to eat the cookie and not do it.

    Downloading Youtube videos with DRM

    Doing some research on things that I will absolutely never do. Let's say a nefarious party wanted to download a video from Youtube, say, an episode of the TV show Community. The downloaders I have researched for Linux (Youtube Downloader Plus + Parabolic) will not let me download any episodes that have DRM. Are there any that DO let you do so, preferably while removing the DRM so it could be used on Jellyfish or Plex?

    Highmark Stadium always provides - Pittsburgh Riverhounds vs. Detroit City FC last night

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/1580433 A slightly rainy night here in Pittsburgh but a delicious 2-0 over Detroit. Hounds solidifying their place as #1 in the USL Championship (with Sacramento Republic 3 points down but a game in hand).

    Atlantic Puffins in Newfoundland

    As seen at the Elliston Puffin Viewing Site. Phenomenal time there, I loved seeing these little goof balls go about their days.

    Does Costco have Morningstar Farms products where you live?

    Hi all. My partner saw online about Costco having big packs of Morningstar Farms Chik Patties/Grillers/etc. but we haven't been able to find it at our local Costco in Pittsburgh. Wondering if this a regional thing or if it might be an equivalent to Aldi's "Special Finds"? Any input would be appreciated!
