And for people with blood clots! Locking your knees prevents blood flow and can get those clots forming faster.
Since locking your knees while standing makes you pass out, I wonder if locking your knees while seated also makes you pass out.
Or they faxed it to you
Not to mention the fact that many people don’t know what FOSS means, given that it’s not used widely outside programmer circles and nobody ever defines the term.
I’m still hoping we get more of the general population on lemmy to help it grow, rather than only be filled with programmers.
Did you roll the Mint into the manager’s office with a note “looks like I’m rolling out of here!”
I live in TX and we’ve had many Christmases at that temperature.
Let’s hope they dont turn violent, like the Krogan after the genophage.
The US was founded by some crazy cult members who had extreme views about sex. The Mormons came out of such a cult, but were pushed out of the country. Most of those old cults are still around to this day.
The religious views from these cults lingers on in our social conscience, probably most notable in our sexual repression and sexual censorship. Those old cult views instilled the idea that sex was depraved and not something to cherish and enjoy. So we still, at least subconsciously, hide sexuality out of a sense of righteousness and politeness.
It’s only outdated to the rich families who can afford brand new games for their kids. Excluding discs is a great way to force many out of the market.
Right! That’s a good chunk of a down payment on a house of their own!
This tenant obviously is close to having the means to owning their own home. They blew ~50% of a down payment on a house that they don’t own.
The smart thing to do, would have been save the money and use that towards a house of their own.
The gender neutral for nephew/niece is nibling
Oh! You meant conservative hatred for the LGBT people. When you said “hate of the LGBTQ+” it sounded like LGBTQ+ people were doing the hating. So I thought the first half of your comment was about LGBTQ+ hate and the second half about conservative hate in a both sides hate kinda fashion.
This is the anti-sodomy laws wrapped up differently. SCOTUS didn’t blink an eye during the Lavender Scare or during the raids on LGBT+ places and arrests of the community until Lawrence v TX overturned those laws in 2003.
Hopefully SCOTUS would strike this down, but I’m very doubtful that they would. A more entrenched R president is better for those currently on the bench.
They have shown through the end of Obama’s presidency and during the end of Trump’s presidency regarding empty SCOTUS seats, that they are willing to bend the rules in their favor. Don’t forget some of these people were cheering at the thought of making Trump a king. These aren’t reasonable, upstanding citizens we’re talking about.
That didn’t stop the US from becoming a major superpower in the 58 years after WWII when policies like this were in place nationally. It’s the Lavender Scare all over again and the return of the anti-sodomy laws in different wrapping paper. Don’t forget those laws were enforced until they were overturned June 26, 2003.
What hatred from the LGBTQ+ people? We just want to live in peace, sure there are many that are angered by the right and their continued assault on our rights. However we aren’t working to constrict them.
Concrete Genie also had some beautiful moments!
Video game
Horizon has some beautiful moments
Back in the day, I thought Oblivion and Skyrim had some beautiful spots although it may not be as impactful now as it was upon release.

Sagrada is a game where you are building stained glass windows and I think it’s pretty.
Lol, you have to use fractional measures because each degree is further apart. I thought I had made that point. Sure you won’t ever get rid of all fractional measuring in any system, but it’s much easier if you don’t have to use as much
I pointed something similar with regard to thermometers to a group of European tourists. In Farenheidt, 98.6 is the normal temperature and if you are getting sick, people will say that 99 is a low-grade fever. While that is a. 4 degree difference in F, that’s only a .2 difference in C.
Likewise for weather, F is much more precise and easier to communicate given that there is a smaller interval between units. There’s more than 2 units difference in F for every 1 unit difference in C. That’s huge when you’re talking about the difference between 38 and 39 C
Given that Lemmy is largely populated by programmers, I assume they have done next to no exercise through their 20s and mostly sit hunched over in a chair all day. So now that they are hitting their 30s, they are paying the price for abusing their bodies.
You don’t need to be huge like Arnold, but find some way to move your body every day. While you’re young in your teens, 20s, and 30s find different and interesting ways to keep your body moving and build up strength, whether that be swimming, running, larping, lifting weights, finding a local exercise meet-up, local sports league, or walking to a park and using the little exercise machines.
A lot of the back issues will go away with more core strength and lifting things properly with your legs. If you can’t think of anything, then start by sitting up straight and tall in your chair using your core to stabilize yourself and see whether in a few weeks you can get through a half or maybe even full day without slouching. Anything is better than nothing!
