“that ‘I voted’ sticker is sexy…” Normalize fetishizing political involvement!

Whether he wants them to or not

I posted twice, automod got one of them, but the other was gloriously empowering. Can recommend 8/10 Edit: I’m definitely a lurker though. We have value and votes, and are important to the ecosystem!

That it is

Honestly, me too and I don’t have much of a plan. I tried doing some pushups the other day and was shocked how much capacity I’ve lost. Following the wisdom that the hardest part of a run is lacing up your shoes, i’m just telling myself to do something every day. 3 sets of pushups. Squats during ad breaks. Walk to the store for a snack. That kind of thing A little bit of physical activity is a great distraction from the anxiety in my head

Doomscrolling, exercise, and looking up firing ranges near me. Been a few decades since last I went

Locally, yes. Solar (and wind) energy isn’t uniform in timing or location, so when there’s too much of it relative to consumption, there needs to be a profitable way to use it rather than just dumping it into resistive heating or letting the panels wear out faster at open circuit. Desalination is a pretty good idea since places with high solar resources also tend to be poorer in water resources. The challenge is the capital costs of desalination plants and competition with existing water sources - water rights are a giant ratfuck by themselves. I think it’ll make sense to build desalination plants that can absorb excess energy generation, but if there’s even political will for it, they’ll take a lot of time to build up

No

I thought that too, but saw this:

As a PC player, I’m glad our hardware cousins get to play 1.6 - it’s a good update and ConcernedApe again going above and beyond. What I’m most excited for though is that this may mean Haunted Chocolatier gets back into development. Fields of Mistria did a good job scratching the itch before I ran out of Early Access content, but I’m really looking forward to seeing what Barrone comes up with in his next game

Fields of mistria, early access farming sim that borrows heavily from stardew but has been the only one I’ve really enjoyed since stardew. Worth a look if you’ve got that cozy itch. Good npc dialogue, less grindy feeling

That describes my family. We’ve done Airbnb and VRBO, but now pretty much stick to hotels. You know what you’re getting, price is competitive, to bdint have to wash your own bedding, and a lot of hotel workers are unionized. That’s all in addition to the awareness that every Airbnb house could be a home for someone who needs it. I won’t be sad if the Airbnb model folds and helps the housing market regain a bit of sanity

Ankylosaurus! Tail club, armor plates, what’s not to love?

Could be Mossad, too! Or wind, I guess; Helicopters are death traps
