Why you should buy your games on GOG
  • Seriously, wtf is that terms and conditions. Good find and good share.

    Super upsetting.

    Any speculation on why that's in there?

  • There's only a sip of milk left for the next person.
  • Fair. I also hate cow milk by itself. Kinda gross to think about. Almond Milk for the win.

  • Creamy
  • Are they hiring new cheese makers for this cheese? I'd be interested.

  • Does anybody else always find themselves sending large enthusiastic texts to people but don't usually receive such texts?
  • I usually keep my texts short and with lots of spelling errors. And I almost always send them with a monotone in my head.

    On the flip side I usually think reading texts should be a short task. Unless you're arriving arguing with someone I guess, but that should really be done in person.

  • There's only a sip of milk left for the next person.
  • For me, I'll normally just drink whatever is left if in the container if there is only a little bit left and throw the container away.

    But if there's more milk, don't feel too bad. I'd probably only feel bad if that was the only milk left.

  • Weakened geomagnetic field:

    Over the last 200 years, the magnetic field has lost around 9% of its strength on a global average. A large region of reduced magnetic intensity has developed between Africa and South America and is known as the South Atlantic Anomaly.

  • Proterozoic Eon

    Proterozoic rocks have been identified on all the continents and often constitute important sources of metallic ores, notably of iron, gold, copper, uranium, and nickel.

  • Magnetic Anomaly

    In geophysics, a magnetic anomaly is a local variation in the Earth's magnetic field resulting from variations in the chemistry or magnetism of the rocks. Mapping of variation over an area is valuable in detecting structures obscured by overlying material.

  • Lithosphere:

    A lithosphere (from Ancient Greek λίθος (líthos) 'rocky' and σφαίρα (sphaíra) 'sphere') is the rigid, outermost rocky shell of a terrestrial planet or natural satellite. On Earth, it is composed of the crust and the lithospheric mantle, the topmost portion of the upper mantle that behaves elastically on time scales of up to thousands of years or more.

  • From Wikipedia

    Serpentinization is a hydration and metamorphic transformation of ferromagnesian minerals, such as olivine and pyroxene, in mafic and ultramafic rock to produce serpentinite.

  • Ya I am hoping one day (hopefully soon) I'll be able to scroll through my Lemmy feed and see a Mastodon/microblogging post (which I occasionally see) from some people I am able to follow, while I scroll past a Loops video, and some Pixelfed content too. Just full integration both ways. That will be the tipping point for federation to pop off once that happens, because then it doesn't matter which federated service you choose you will have access to all the social media content types.

  • Neat layered singing
  • Super cool. I am hoping that Loops will be easily integrated into Lemmy at some point to where it shows on my feed as if I were on loops with the setting option to auto-start or not, and when I upvote they get the heart.

  • Going down New and saw this post after posting on your embeddeding test. Whatever you did, it worked!

    What's a decent entry-level budget point and shoot?

    I'm looking to get a point and shoot as a holiday gift for my fiance that won't break the bank. Ideally no more than $300US but I might be open to more expensive options if the quality outperforms the price in its category.

    She'll mostly be taking landscape pictures or pictures of monuments/ interesting features, etc.

    2024 Honda CB650r

    Although it's not a part of the retro series, it's engine is in a similar displacement class as the other two.

    Quick facts

    • Engine: 649cc liquid cooled in-line four cylinder
    • Torque: 42.14 lb.-ft. @ 8,160 rpm

    Those pipes, such a clean design. Still in the upright/naked competition for my next bike. For 2024 I guess they're coming with an e-clutch. With this you still have to shift with your for, but you don't have to pull the clutch.

    The riding position looks a little too aggressive, but I still want to sit on one to see how it feels. It does come with a price tag of ~$9,400 MSRP which is on the priceier side of this class.

    Anyone have one of these with the e-clutch?

    Does anyone have one? This one is in my top as a contender for my next bike. It's a little pricier with a smaller engine than the XSR700 so not sure which way to choose.
