Star Citizen looked so fucking cool when it was announced like 15 years ago. Since then it’s dipped lower and lower every single time new info comes out.
Like, the hopeful dumbasses that got burned initially like my dumb ass did with No Man’s Sky, I kinda get… but how the absolute fuck are they still getting sales?? Are there seriously still people that don’t know it’s a scam?
Personalized gene editing isn’t new, is it? IIRC they did this successfully for sickle cell anemia or something; but it’s stupid expensive, so if you’re not crazy rich you don’t have access to this kind of healthcare.
Not really covers, but if you’re looking for a chill approach to metal/rock, you might like Pelican or Russian Circles. Both are kind of ambient rock/metal, but no lyrics, and the instrumentals are on the relaxed end of the spectrum… like you know how a normal metal song often has a more mellow intro, then all at once the tempo takes off, the volume skyrockets, and a howler monkey starts calling for a mate? …they’re like entire songs that have that intro energy.
Fantastic background music.
This gem might need an update.
Cooking is just chemistry that you can eat!
Hadn’t considered browning… do all sugars have some kind of caramelization process?
Do you know if she also struggles with lactose?
I’m not sure. Initially I thought no, but that website lists it as a no-go. It’s a disaccharide made up of glucose and galactose, which should both be fine, so /shrug. I need to research CSID more - never heard of it until earlier today from the mom.
I was initially thinking something like mango sticky rice (fructose, lactose, starch?) could be a good option, but rice is listed as a no-go as well.
I should probably check with the mom before I do too much more.
The two goals are 1) delicious, and 2) she won’t puke it up. Sugar-free could definitely fit the bill; but but there is some wiggle room with CSID, so I did want to find options that let her actually enjoy some sugar, just narrowed down to things like fructose.
Not to discredit the sugar free suggestions - 100% of those will be compatible!
I know it’s hopium, but if this ends with Trump in the middle of a smouldering crater, Qatar will give the world the best gift any of us could ask for.
I don’t think there would be any way to protect from that, but you’d have the same issue with full deletion.
Until insurers decide they’re too expensive to cover.
Light em up!
On the flip side, keeping your personal online footprint small is definitely more secure.
Maybe we need a soft kill switch to disassociate content with an account after x amount of time. Like for me personally, I’ve put zero effort into mopping up old content, and as often as I post, I’m sure someone with the desire could put the pieces together and dox me.
I’ve left it up anyway cuz I don’t want to do to Lemmy what you’re concerned about, but if I could nuke all my content older than a few months into an anonymous version, I’d be all for that. Leave the info up for anyone who might benefit from it, but scrub my username.
That said, for community building sake, I’d hate to see posts go anonymous right out the gate like some 4chan shit; and posts should be associated with an account at least long enough for mods to have a reasonable amount of time to take action against an account that breaks the rules. But again, posts that are months old? The conversation there is over - my personal involvement is moot at that point, it’s just data now.
$800 Million Worth of Cybertrucks
Cybertrucks aren’t worth the glass of the molotovs that ignite them.
Worth and cost are not synonyms.
Skyrim
If you’ve played and enjoyed skyrim and want more of it, do check out Enderal!! Trailer 1, Trailer 2
The version you install will depend on the version of skyrim you own:
Tons of new scenery, and fast travel is way limited so if you want a game to just slow down in and soak in the sights, look no further.
Easily one of the best stories I’ve ever experienced.
The graphics are fantastic, but it’s a nonstop grind and super pay-to-win, and the top paying players never get banned despite constant exploits.
I don’t really recommend it. 3/10
And if you don’t pull a gun in this situation it will absolutely, without a doubt, get you killed. If that’s the way you want to go, that’s your decision, but compliance is not going to do anything to protect you.
…and if those are the options, might as well drop a Nazi or two on your way out.
Also, until shockingly recently, the medical field assumed (or maybe hoped?) infants can’t feel pain.
That belief is still pervasive, at least to some extent, which is something that’s always kinda bewildered me. Like, baby comes out and first thing we do is rub it with an abrasive towel, and slap its feet and ass to make it cry so it starts deep breathing, then literally turn around and cut the tip of its dick off without any anesthetic because it can’t feel pain?! What the fuck made it cry when we slapped its ass if it can’t feel pain?!
For a field stuffed with people who have made it through medical school, we can be dumb as shit sometimes.
If you still believe in god, just watch the news for 10 minutes.
A god that’s all powerful and all knowing allowing this amount of evil in its universe must also be either absolutely evil as fuck or fake as fuck.
And now we enter that awkward period where we’re supposed to show only kindness to someone who’s dying, because they’re dying, even if they’re a horrible fucking person.
Biden’s support for genocide handed the presidency to Trump, and between those two things, he’s enabled some of the greatest evil I’ve witnessed in my lifetime.
Fuck you, Biden. You made this world a worse place. The cancer in your ass doesn’t make you worthy of respect or undo the giant middle finger you gave to humanity. Your only value was that you weren’t Trump; take away that contrast and you’re just another evil sack of shit.
