What do fast-fashion stores, IPAs and distro releases all have in common?

A: names that offer no clue as to what they actually are.

Meaning is not carried by the words, it’s carried by your mind.

I disagree. Meaning is carried by words. That's what words are for. And you can use them to clarify their meaning in fine detail.

Nothing to say about the games?

Batman: Year 1 has a chapter on Gordon taking over the GCPD. He deals with dirty cops, corrupt politicians and domestic problems. Batman is just a rumour at this point.

(But the book is still mostly about Batman.)

I'm sorry, WHAT

Why can’t I comment food of speceists eating animals or animals derivated products in order to understand what allows them to eat such food and how is it ethical at all?

You're the reason we need these rules.

Moebius is one of my all-time favourite artists. Escher rocked my world with his tessellating drawings when I was a kid - haven't thought about him much as an adult, other than to admire his technical skill. Giger's a little grotesque for me, but I once bought a set of postcards of his work so I could use them to write to a friend who was living with his ultra-devout aunt at the time.

You're most likely right, but didn't he also say that it's gay for a man to sleep with a woman for enjoyment?

I can't tell the difference between Andrew Tate accounts and Andrew Tate parody accounts. Wonder if he's trying to lay the groundwork for an insanity defense?

You are weirdly committed to defending the the giant evil corporation.

What do you mean 'the far future'?

 

Damage by weapon rating instead of making a separate damage roll. Yes or no?

 

Especially if the sinners still need their punishment?

 

Either all at once, or over a lifetime?

 

My position is that it's a snack and husband tax must be paid. My wife is arguing that it's a meal or occupies some third food space and it's entirely hers. Who's right, court of Lemmy?

 

To explain what I mean, I think you can level up a cooking style. For example, pasta. At level 1, you're boiling dried pasta and adding sauce out of a jar. At level 1, you add your own spices. Level 3, switch to fresh pasta. Level 4, make your own sauce. And finally at level 5, make the pasta from scratch.

So with BBQ, I guess level 1 would be cooking the meat so it's neither burnt nor underdone. Maybe level 2 is mixing different meats/cuts that have different heat/time requirements and cooking well. Further levels = ?

 

Picture this: you're working in a large open-plan office and you need to send a message to Steve at the other end of the room. You pull out your messenger handgun, dictate your message (because you paid for the voice recognition feature) and let it engrave your words on a bullet. Then you simply fire it at the target mounted above Steve's cube!

Fast, attention-getting and simple. It's the perfect system.

 

I'm sharing this because any reduction in unnecessary packaging waste is good for the planet - and because I think laser-etching avocados is funny. 🙂

 

I followed a Jaime Oliver recipe for curry, which started with grating onion, ginger and garlic. I liked the curry, but grating an onion is a miserable job. He said that technique unlocked the onion's 'sweetness'. How much difference do you think I'd notice if I used a food processor?
