then I’m surprised they do it with their public personas.

and then they complain about the male loneliness epidemic

According to wikipedia, what you claim is true but also there is documented history of the "foot" part coming up because of the kicking of the ball from really far back

The truth is we do not seem to know which of the 2 sources truly directed the current name... very likely both contributed

honestly, shitting on films before they are released seems to be a tradition when said films are female led... read of that what you will

Like you, I think Gunn knows what he is doing and can give us some great films if allowed to work his magic

Well, it's a cult... they will approve of their own torture and death as long as it is "their team" ordering it

FWIW the general consensus is that they are just about making a profit

This is what the tech bros claim (which is obviously convenient so they can lure more ~~suckers~~ investors in); every outside pundit concludes otherwise

Check this article I received yesterday... in a nutshell, if a company returns less than 7% on investment, they would normally be liquidated by investors. To make it to 7%, AI companies would have to reach a revenue of $2 TRILLION per year (cumulative amongst the big AI players, which are like 5 total)

Last leaked financials from OpenAI showed $13 Billion revenue and a $21 billion loss

"Fuck you, got mine" is one of the true, active and practised American values today

Great idea underling... after you are done applying my genius strategy that I just came up with all by myself, lay yourself off so we can hit the quaterly targets and I can buy that third yatch with my bonus

Donvict would not have won if it wasn’t for the EC

The truth is that so many eligible voters chose NOT TO VOTE (almost 110 million people). The presumption here is that most of those people would not have voted for the child rapist but either hated Kamala more or did not mind the child rapist as president enough to mail a envelop

I don't think so... basically that would mean every sport could/should be called "football"...

  • Basketball = played on foot, not horse therefore football

  • Volleyball = played on foot, not horse therefore football

  • Baseball = no horse, football again

  • Hockey = believe it or not, football... maybe skate ball?

I am kidding of course, it seems nobody really knows and the 2 main theories are the one you mentioned (on foot, not on horse) vs kicking of a ball with your foot (and not your hand)

The Trump administration has forced a Canadian-backed renewable energy company to abandon its landmark wind power project — and is demanding an equivalent investment in US fossil fuel development if the company wants to recoup $120 million USD in offshore wind leases.

Hi Lemmy,

I want to do a project that involves concrete. Basically I am making steps, giving them texture and stamping them so it looks somewhat like stones.

I have watched a million videos and I feel I can tackle this, plus I have a lot of areas to practice that won't be too visible so if the steps look a bit amateur it's fine.

My biggest question is about the effort of mixing concrete. I have a corded drill with a mixing paddle and most steps won't require much. However a few are larger and I would have to mix 10 bags or so. The drying time allows me to work one at a time and then do my stamping but I was wondering if this is feasible from an effort perspective.

I am an experienced DIYer but have not worked much with concrete, I made a coffee table, post bases, etc but never something that requires so many bags... am I setting myself up for failure / a broken back? hehehe

 

"Unexpectedly"... who would have thought that taking a chainsaw to all establish trade could be an issue?!
