I wish I could see the crash logs to actually get insight as to specifically why jorbia is crashing for me

When I read Hitchhiker's Guide, I pronounced it b'tell-jew-EEss

There's a thought that:

Never make fun of people for mispronouncing a word. It means they learned it by reading

Best I understand, this is a quote without a known attribution

Whisk(e)y drinker here, preferring neat. I like all types, especially if they are sherry-finished.

I like too many for a concise list.

I think Stranahan's is the best bottle most people sleep on. It's a Single Malt made in the US, so most Scotch drinkers dismiss it because "it's not made in Scotland", but most American drinkers are looking more for Rye and Bourbon flavors. It's just delicious imo

Ardbeg Wee Beastie is another favorite. Peated Scotches aren't for everyone, but I think it has a great "campfire" quality

Navazos Palazzi is a Spanish whiskey that we really like, and it's one i never recommend to beginners. It's harsh and sweet, but somehow it works. I've heard it described as "maple cookie covered in fresh pavement", although I think it evokes more of that cut up tire that you can find on some playgrounds. It's basically "fuck you" in a glass, in the best possible way

For cocktails, i always go for Coke and Makers, with some grenadine.

I had to look a list of prequels, since I was having trouble just remembering some.

• Might not be the greatest, but I remember really liking Rouge One

• Cruella was a blast, but I could see people arguing that the main character was a completely different person than who was in the 101 Dalmations

• The Thing (2011) did a good job, with some criticisms (over use of CGI). It was never going to be as great as the original, but I still enjoyed it

Perhaps !asexual@lemmy.world?

Only created a week ago, but it has a few active subscribers, could be worth checking out

Asteroid City, The Blackening, and Elemental are the three big movies in theaters i want to see, but I won't have a chance to until next week.

I must have missed a memo. Why did beehaw defederate with lemmy.world/sh.itjust.works?

I really want to like Lemmy, but if we can randomly lose access to content like that, it leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

My overall journey was the GameFAQS message boards -> Digg -> Reddit (via RIF) -> Lemmy

Lemmy has filled my content aggregation desires while boycotting Reddit. Overall, I could see being here to stay

I'm still having minor issues, but they aren't deal breakers. Like, I've had issues with my up votes not saving (press it, turns blue, wait a second, then it changes back), so I need to press it multiple times before it saves. On the whole, these errors will be resolved with time, so it doesn't bother me much

Main issue I'm trying to figure out now is: how to use federated users for other Lemmy instances. If I'm using the website for beehaw, then go to another instance, it appears I need to sign in, but I can't see how to use my beehaw account. I started using Jerboa and it seems to handle it, but the comments I'm making don't show up (when I checked in a browser), so it might be in the UI only, or I'm missing something

This makes a lot of sense to me (as an Operations Engineer).

I could imagine the architecture team has low watermark triggers to rescale the architecture, kill and restore hosts, or other changes based on expected user load. When that load just.. isn't there, the automated tooling just loops the same actions causing site instability.

I've had similar issues before, so it seems like a feasible explanation

Orlando is objectively a queer friendly city, but they don't have any pride events in June.

There's an unofficial event each June called "Disney World Gay Days" (not affiliated with Disney themselves, who just treat it like any other summer day), so Orlando moved their pride celebration to October instead. I think it's understandable, but it always sucks to feel left out from the rest of the queer community.

I've actually have never been to Pride, since other things tend to conflict, and social anxiety in general. This year, I will definitely participate (motivated by the phrase: "Pride is a Protest"). I've been "openly queer" for the last 5ish years, but I haven't been "openly trans", but I'm taking steps to own that identity, at least more openly. Perhaps people can clock me as trans, but no one ever says anything, so i think I might currently qualify as "stealth", but I feel like I don't pass. Just in that weird superposition.

I have at least one symbolic gesture I want to make this June. I play Women's Flat Track Roller Derby, and I want to fly the trans flag during my player intro. It's a very small thing to do, but trans athletics has been under attack, so I feel like choosing to be a visible trans athlete is something i need to do

I live in Florida, and I have no current plans to leave.

I'm lucky/privileged that the current set of laws don't affect me directly (or at least significantly), so I intend to stay as long as I can, so i can continue to protest and bring attention to these issues

I understand that things are fucked right now. If anyone feels they need to leave, i fully support them to do so. (Many of my friends have left for New York or Illinois,) I'm just not at that point myself yet.
