@SJohnRoss @Taskerland I think I tended to end up gaming with engineers more than actors, and the giant bricks of HERO 5 books makes me think things tended towards minutia there. But there definitely were both camps around. I remember a GM being very grumpy with my champions character who had a crime detector. 'What's the mechanism? Is it telepathy?'
@renard @jwildeboer battery degradation slows down over the lifetime. Although this probably depends on the chemistry.BEVs typically have lower maintenance, so I don't see why 20yr can't be matched. If (e.g.) 70% State-of-Health is acceptable 20-years in, i guess it's still a viable car to drive.However, I'm not sure why "20 years" is a metric to hold up against. Is that primarily a financial consideration? Worded differently: Would you buy younger for the same price?
@CactuarJoe Or we could have rewatched that Gargoyles movie. That was alot of caves and a hundred times more make up effects. And not creepy sheriff. #Monsterdon #TheBatPeople
@TLisaB @BlumeEvolution @bernab Das muss gar nicht so offensichtlich oder „verschwörerisch“ durch ein „Parteibuch“ begründet sein. Auch die Zurückhaltung der Öffentlich-rechtlichen lässt sich mit #Mimesis erklären. Nur ist dieses Verhalten der vermeintlich „neutralen Versachlichung“ aber eben nicht journalistisch-professionell, sondern unterwirft sich mimetisch den „Zielen anderer“ und macht tragischerweise deren zunehmende Macht und zukünftige Herrschaft erst möglich. Gerade öffentlich-rechtliche Medien wie @tagesschau sollten sich der Mimesis der Medien und insbesondere ihrer Macht und Wirkung bewusst sein und nach ihrem öffentlichen Auftrag handeln - #Faschismus deutlich als solchen benennen, um ihn durch Aufklärung und Einordnung zu bekämpfen.
I’ve sometimes just put on a sprinkle of zaatar, or if I want something sweeter, just a bit of your standard BBQ sauce.
Mayo is often my go-to, so I definitely put that on as a standard, and then one of the above!
@socketwench well, "http vs predator" is the recent https vs http-upgrade-to-https vulnerability. So we're just discussing 'http: resurrection' at this point.
@LorenzMeyer Der folgt hier ja nur dem, was #Merz vormacht.Und Merz ist die moderne Reinkarnation von Diederich Hessling aus Heinrich Manns "Der Untertan".
And yeah, that's another thing: sometimes when I'm experiencing shame & stress, I end up in serious physical pain. My shoulders & back seize up. I'm working on getting better at dealing with that. Breathing helps. Stretching helps. Taking a hot shower really helps.But you can imagine how sometimes this causes me difficulty with doing certain tasks.
@CactuarJoe @Taweret yeah I only vaguely remember Devil Doll from MST3K. So either it was full or I purposefully blocked it out. The only thing I can recall is Mike dressed as the doll and locked in a cage and the bots taunt him.
@pheonix the experience of getting a "recommendation" from a system that is wildly off the mark is so common that everyone, not just people like us who are deliberately living so as to be illegible to capital, understands this mismatch intimately. it's an illusion. the world of for profit digital advertising and surveillance is built on a colossal lie about how humanity works.
@henkmet @mrundkvist Yeah, in the Oldenburg area in northwestern Germany where I live there are actually quite a few villages that were founded in the 19th century, when all those boglands were plowed by giant steam plows.
