“One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Soul on deck shines like gold in dark times. The light of the soul throws sparks, can send up flares, builds signal fires, causes proper matters to catch fire. To display the lantern of soul in shadowy times like these - to be fierce and to show mercy toward others; both are acts of immense bravery and greatest necessity.”

From a letter by Clarissa Pinkola Estes, https://www.awakin.org/v2/read/view.php?tid=2195

The Sandman books were a massive part of my teenage years, one thing my sister and I agreed on back then and a source of endless conversation with my crush. Really gutted that I can’t look forward to introducing my teenagers to them.

I finally found some similar examples in the forums at board game geek and they had done just as you suggest. If I can closely match the thickness of the table with the battens, I could then use some twirly catch thingies (technical term) to make sure it doesn’t tip if someone leans on it.

Good idea about the waterproofing on the felt

“We pretended that hydrogen was going to be the right tech for years and now we’re well behind”

I’m on a pixel 8 with 256 similar to your other reply. Graphene is supporting back to early pixels and has weekly updates so I don’t think phone age makes a support difference, I just went with the newest reconditioned one I could afford.

I use signal, Lemmy (Thunder), NewPipe (for YouTube), Aegis auth, banking apps (but check forums on specific banks).

Losing Google Pay made me feel like a peasant for a while, I now have a case that carries cards and feel fine.

I switched from Vanadium to Iron Fox because I like the extensions, uBlock and Consent-O-Matic.

Ooh nice, the bigger picture makes it more clear thanks

Why must you always ask the impossible of me?!

Most I can see is the word Neff? Big fan of German oven manufacturers?

For no particular reason, I thought I’d see if I could find this t-shirt…

Yep, classic buddleia, grows anywhere, obstinate and difficult to get rid of 😁

Looks like a buddleia, but it would be useful to see leaves to be sure

Fuck’s sake, it had just started to properly settle down and get good

It’s like that study that showed that the size of men’s pecs are of interest to other men, women don’t really look at them as indicators of attractiveness

#notallwomen sweeping generalisation etc etc

A drone drone?

Just wait 'til i fight back with my drone drone drone

Nice rack

I use Ironfox and have never found cause for complaint. I’m on GrapheneOS which shipped with vanadium but I wanted the adblock and consent-o-matic addins so switched.

I never saw the movie in the first place and I’m ambivalent about watching the extra hour when seeing it

Looks like the latest version fixes this, although the fix is likely to be temporary

As in, it was a different actor playing Kovacs in the second series? Wouldn’t it have been more weird for him to have found an exactly similar sleeve on a totally unrelated world?

Of course it should have felt like exactly the same person in a different skin - if that’s not true blame the acting and directing!

So much for the view that trans people would not be impacted by this ruling, it was a clarification and they were covered elsewhere in the law
