I'll see what I can do when I get an opportunity. I installed it and tried it, but since I didn't have time to really dig in, I uninstalled it after the first sanity pass failed. This was Firefox 115.02 (64-bit) Windows 10.

I hate how the Star Wars fans respond to PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING. I was the biggest Star Wars geek as a kid; it was THE thing I collected and played with extensively. As many characters as I could get, ships. Made my own stuff. Generally freaking appalled at everyone's behavior since then.

Seems like mainly tree damage in Lenexa (around 95th and Lackman). I personally did not have much, if any, but doing the daily walk with the dog there are a lot of trees in the neighborhood that have major sections having broken down. We did not lose power.

Wish it would work for me. It's a good idea, but C-n and C-p just bring up a new page and print dialog respectively.

I think that's basically the argument that just puts blinders on and assumes everything is perfect and why pretend otherwise. A comment I've read that I think has some merit is that they didn't put an end to legacy admissions, bias for donors, employee families, and other special recommendations. These are all systems that favor class and are predominantly white. So why did the justices pretend that admissions are all based around merit and achievement when they are not?

If more were being done about the systemic causes, then I think there would be less frustration with this decision. Since we clearly have quite a long way to go on the systemic issues, this ruling is pretty naive in my view.

He hasn't looked deeply into Robert F Kennedy Jr then... both would be absolute disasters.

I don't disagree. However I spend most of my time in kbin.social/sub where I've already curated most of the groups I care to look at and engage with. I really only venture into /all when I'm kinda bored. Thus, so far, it hasn't really been too terribly problematic to do that.

It would be nice to declare a language whitelist and have a filter for it, but I suspect kbin has some more important things on the To Do list for the moment, and maybe devs will get around to it when they've got a breather. We're likely going to have another influx on the 1st after the alien site kicks app devs in the nuts.

You can go to that magazine, and over on the right side you can click the block button. It should be right next to Subscribe. I've done this for a lot of communities that are in languages I cannot read.

Just started Someone Like Me by M. R. Carey (known for The Girl With All The Gifts). Good so far but I really haven't gotten far.

Yes, apparently firing was 'enough' /s

I liked Translation State as well, though for me, the midsection was the drag. I noticed she started doing a lot of time skips and admittedly during that point there wasn't a lot going on, but it got tedious. Finally they got to the Treaty station and then things picked back up again. I know she was developing the character's internal world and opinions and expectations, but with how mysterious the Presger faction is and all the talking around a point -- it dragged for me.

I will admit that I rather liked the subreddit distinction between 'scifi' and 'printsf'. My interest is almost wholly in books. Reiterating what the best SF movies of the last month/year/decade/century isn't really anything I'm interested in. I probably saw it. On the flip side, the 1000th recommendation of why Dune is amazing is also pretty old. I realize I'm coming at this after being an enthusiast for a long time and I don't want to deny anyone their entry point into the genre, so we need a balance of ideas.

I guess that's a long way from a recommendation of what to do. A currently reading weekly thread might be good though. I do like finding new authors -- new to authoring and older-but-new-to-me -- and maybe that would be a good way to get some traffic going. Could split it into a separate weekly "what are you seeing?" kind of thread too for those who are finding or revisiting shows on video.
