In 2061, I can see Halley’s Comet with my naked eyes for the second time. It’s the only thing I consistently look forward to anymore. I don’t have descendants or a partner, and my best days are clearly behind me.

So, with his leadership, is there any chance we won’t have a global climate crisis before 2061?

I need someone to convince me, please.

Peertube is a federated, and while it’s primarily meant as a decentralized replacement for YouTube, many instances include the ability to stream live. https://video.infosec.exchange is the instance I use, but you might benefit from using a larger instance or one that shares an administrative staff with any other ActivityPub-connected things you use (e.g. lemmy.world).

I’ve heard “86” as slang for eliminate/remove but I don’t know where it comes from, and I would never use it if I thought it could be confused with a quantity.

It sounds like something a stereotypical Chicago mobster might say, so I’d probably not use that slang anyway.

I think maybe the text of your post did not convey that sentiment, particularly given the reliability of Poe’s Law. Perhaps in the future, you might include a visible indicator that you are using satire?

They are still U S. citizens, just not citizens of any state. Same thing can happen if you are born in DC or a military base not in a state.

American Samoans are the ones that really get screwed. They are just U S. nationals. All the responsibilities of citizens (including the draft when it exists) but not all of the benefits.

I haven’t looked in a while but in 2020, prune juice was still in the mandatory ingredients list. It’s mainly corn syrup and water, but prune juice is involved, I think

I think this is my new head cannon, the distracted Mr. Pibb and his focused wife, Dr. Pepper.

I never imagined they were married, just that Dr. Pepper was his superior.

I would have preferred Mr Mayo

On my phone? All the damn time, since I use a lot of jargon and shorthand that it doesn’t understand, as well as a few neologisms. But, I’m a much worse typist on my phone.

On my Linux desktop or $dayjob’s Windows laptop? Almost never, as it is much less aggressive about replacing what I typed.

Bones evolved for the first time: “485 Ma First vertebrates with true bones (jawless fishes)” – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_evolutionary_history_of_life (Vertebrates existed without a bony notochord before then.)

But the Appalachians were started much earlier: “The geologic processes that led to the formation of the Appalachian Mountains started 1.1 billion years ago.” They were basically finished growing by the time bones existed: “Around 480 million years ago, geologic processes began that led to three distinct orogenic eras that created much of the surface structure seen in today’s Appalachians. [d] During this period, mountains once reached elevations similar to those of the Alps and the Rockies” Since then, it’s just been wearing down. – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appalachian_Mountains

I like it, but I like most Mtn. Dew flavors.

Definitely inspired by peach tea, if that helps.

Have you tried Sweet Lightning? It’s a KFC exclusive flavor that hasn’t escaped containment the way Baja Blast escaped Tace Bell.

Plaid effectively admitted to stealing your transaction history and selling it to the highest bidder in the past. There was a settlement and they agreed to not to that in the future

Just don’t ever share your password, and certainly not your banking password, and definitely not with Plaid.

I am impatient with long descriptions, but I do find that in a minority of cases, the description does lead in to a distinction that I would not have intuited.

I try to reflect on that during long descriptions, particularly ones that are highly redundant with something I remember.

/c/SuicideByWords ?

Isn’t 1600 m/s greater than the speed of sound? That sonic boom is gonna mess up the kitchen, if not the hand.

I think the phase change costs of the water content will also be a significant factor that isn’t included.

Too redundant, just use S-exprs.

(Mostly joking, but in some cases…)
