Potatoe Cannon (less than 30$, can assist him in print out together so he knows how to fix it!) or pogo stick? (Both equally unsafe imo)
Ban floride testing of the water, there's no treatment used in mass water to remove all natural occurring floride.
Jade cocoon 2 for the PS2.
A brilliant mix of tactics and Pokemon. You have a box composed of 8 slots surrounding you, 4 edges of different coolers, and 4 corners that combine 2 colors, you get to pick of 6 monsters to fill those 8 slots, each edge is a different style of move, red is attack, blue is defend, green is heal, yellow is cast, some monsters only have 1 color affiliated with them, some have 3, you select which side/color of box you want to attack your opponent with, if you don't have a monster in the middle of that color they can attach your hit point pool directly.
I rarely see it mentioned, and I think that's a shame, it was very creative for being in a very popular genre
I wonder if they'll bring him back to the bigs when the Lakers are eliminated from the playoffs?
I have a full size and multiple 60%'s, they're all very reliable, not the heartiest, but I had the first one for over 5 years, all of the screws stripped out of the back (from being repeatedly walked on by the dogs, rolled upon by myself), and it still worked. But using it became a chore so I caved and bought another to replace it.

Love my arteck gear, it's cheap AF, but I can buy 5 or 6 for the price of 1 nice setup, and I don't worry at all about it being trashed in transit.
The small keyboard fits just about any pocket my deck will fit into (yeah I travel in loose baggy clothes), and I have a really small collapsible kick stand for the deck as well.
You can't say she had no desire to court working class voters, and be upset that she was campaigning in Texas and with Liz Cheney.
Why do I doubt that he's going to stick with the "D" by his name for long?
When you refuse to support the lesser of two evils you get the worse outcome. I don't like it, but as long as one side remains unified there will never be more than a 2 party system,
My views would not be popular,
I continue to vote blue no matter who.
But I feel like the knee jerk reactions cause too many "babies to be thrown out with the bath water"
We expect perfection, we're against perverts and deviants who believe they have a higher power on their side that blesses their"leadership"to get away with whatever they want.
Concerned ape long ago secured a spot as one of the greatest developers ever.
They only seem to reinforce that as a correct selection.

I haven't played wordle since they put the "streak tracker" behind a "paywall", fuck you all that data is shit you're keeping from me without my consent anyways, now you want me to pay you for the privilege?
I'm not a huge privacy guy, but when you ask me to pay for the data I provide you, you can get bent.

That's the ncis doctor.... Didn't know he composed, definitely wouldn't have associated him with West Coast rappers.
Somehow makes it worse, I don't know why I say somehow, these guys are the master of "look at how deep I can dig this hole without any ramifications"
Fuck cancer. In life I've had 3 categories of jobs, 49.99% fun job terrible boss, 49.99%fun boss terrible job. 3 years ago I finally found fun boss fun job (.02%), and boss just told me he's dying.
I don't know how I got this job, sure it doesn't pay the best in the field, and you need lots of specialized training, and with that training you can go to much more prestigious work, but it pays enough. I don't know why the previous person to do it left (the commute was too much for her, but I would've moved closer if I was her). She trained me very briefly because I knew most of the ins and outs already, she told me the boss had been in and out of remission with bone cancer, but the last flair up was taken care of years ago.
It's been 7 years since he was first diagnosed, and he's had 2 replacements, they won't do a third. He doesn't want to try the experimental treatments because he'd rather enjoy the time he has.
I've worked for him for 3 years and I feel so greedy wanting to scream at him to try every avenue available. He has 3 amazing kids, a wife and in-laws who live him, he loves coming into work, he just finished renovating his forever home. And I don't want a different boss. I need more time with my mentor, my friend, the best boss I've ever had.
I just learned this morning, and it's really raw, I need to get it off my chest, I don't want to steal time from his family, but I want to take from him as much as I can. He's a genius in the field, the person he's trying to get to replace him is remarkable younger guy, but he's my age, he doesn't have the life experience that I've found myself looking to my boss for.
Fuck cancer.
Thanks off my chest. Hug your loved ones. Tell your dog they're good, scratch your cat. Enjoy the moments of extra nice weather.
"evidence for modified gravity at low acceleration from Gaia observations of wide binary stars." A potential replacement for dark matter scaling? Any physicists want to try to answer some questions?
A new study reports conclusive evidence for the breakdown of standard gravity in the low acceleration limit from a verifiable analysis of the orbital motions of long-period, widely separated, binary stars, usually referred to as wide binaries in astronomy and astrophysics.
My understanding is the researcher took Gaia probe information and looked at "wide binary stars" (not sure what defines wide, but there must be a ton of them), within 650 light years of earth. They found the ones that accelerate the least (relative to each other? Rotationally?) are, and this is where I get confused, moving more efficiently around each other than their faster counterparts?
This discrepancy is postulated to be due observations of the stars acting in different physics models based how much they're accelerating relative to each other?
If this is correct (and the researcher is very transparent with their methods and using public data) would this up-end our models as much as I think it would? There's probably a lot of things interacting with other things at very low relative acceptable throughout the universe. Or is this just highlighting a truth we already knew, that there's a difference between the quantum and relative universes that we're now able to roughly put a scale to?
I've added to my questions since lemmy has been down, what in the world does this paragraph mean? "Also, unlike other studies Chae calibrated the occurrence rate of hidden nested inner binaries at a benchmark acceleration."
While doing some you tubing about this (thanks lemmy.world down time) I discovered Sabine hossenfelder, who I think is becoming one of my favorite science communicators I recommend anyone wondering about anything science to check her out https://youtube.com/@SabineHossenfelder
Question; "1/2 comments added" how do I load the rest of the comments?
I'm entirely new to sync, I feel like this will be common knowledge, but I went to expand a comment thread, it said "1/2 comments added" and the "view more (2)" button disappeared, it loaded 1 comment, but I'd be interested to see what that other comment was.
Thanks Lemmy-syncers
More info, just updated the app and the first thread I was trying to read showed both comments, but the second thread gave the same response, I was leaning towards "it's not showing deleted by creator" except it loaded 2/2 for one of the previous 1/2 threads.
(complete) (steam) dungeon of the endless, this one's straight from steam, grab it for your library! (Uncertain how long it'll be available for, 48 hours maybe?)
Dungeon of the ENDLESS™ is a Rogue-Like Dungeon-Defense game, in which the player and their team of heroes must protect the generator of their crashed ship while exploring an ever-expanding dungeon, all while facing waves of monsters and special events as they try to find their way out...
Quite a fun game, and the price has never been better, I'm not sure how long it'll be free so grab it while your can. The "endless" universe games, and their spice, have never really caught on with me, but this one was very easy to pick up and play, especially with the heavy+medic+pyro team from the TF2 update.
Don't let this one go past you!

I'll roll my lucky d100 tomorrow (11:30 Pacific time) and whoever is closest can have this gem!
Please make sure you have a unique number, if two people have the same number and it comes up first person with that number gets it. No editing posts, if you think of something you want to add make it a response to your comment. If I see multiple numbers from one account I'll only accept the first number that account posted. Equal distance tie goes to the lower number.
Community creator please reach out if this isn't the way you want it done and I'll start it over fresh using whatever system you choose.
Good luck everyone! (If I'm non responsive tomorrow night entries will be cut off and I'll get to it as quickly as possible)

Edit 2. I've set an alarm for 23 hours from now, there's little chance I'm passed out at that time. If all 100 numbers are used I'll post 2 more games of higher current value (thanks steam sale!) tomorrow, with 200 entry limits each. If we don't reach, no worries, I still intend to post them in the future.
Last edit for this thread (probably), rolled a damn 100, also rolled 4 more rolls over 50 and a 49. You all owe my dice some good luck.
I've got plenty more games to give, be sure to check this sublemmy for future giveaways.
How many hot/active local pages do you scroll through before taking a break
When do you stop doom scrolling and: take a break, swap to /all communities, browse by new, or start over from the beginning to see if anything new comes up?
I find myself going about 6 or 7 pages in.
I have a theory, the current doctor when you started watching is your favorite doctor. Would this apply to you?
I started watching Dr who when the reboot was 3 seasons in, I think David Tennant was the greatest doctor. A few years later I finally got wife to give it a shot as I started a fresh rewatch in preparation for Matt Smith's second season, she was ok with Eccelston and Tennant but Matt Smith is far and away her favorite doctor. Does this pattern hold true for any other Dr fans?
