I don't know why my memory of hot dogs on an open fire and smores doesn't appeal to you. We're different.
Slightly off topic:
When my parents divorced, I was bummed out that I had to attend two thanksgiving dinners. The second was not turkey. We charred hot dogs over an open fire (lived in the midwest at the time) and made smores. It was pretty great.
This had nothing to do with the election. It's just a nice memory.
New ep of the Fall of Civilizations Podcast: Mongols Terror of the Steppe 1 and 2
A podcast that explores the collapse of different societies through history.
Listed on Patreon at the moment, but not yet on the homepage or in the private RSS feed. I got an email notification about the new eps via Patreon, so presumably they’ll be available everywhere else shortly. The episodes are a combined 6h 45m!
I hope this doesn’t break any rules for this community. This podcast is about as non-sensational and well-researched as any journalistic article on historical topics, so this seemed like the best audience.
(I’m deliberately off Lemmy due to social issues in my country for the sake of my mental health. The mobile page on my instance doesn’t show the rules and I’m signing out right after posting this. Apologies if this was a prohibited post. Please feel free to repost somewhere else if needed as I won’t be logged in to see replies from mods or others.)
Enjoy! I know I will. Love this show. Best wishes to all history nerds reading this.

The smaller mini loses some ports but gets tons of other functional updates.
This morning I awoke with the following idea for a campaign issue:
People over the age of 65 who can should retire to create opportunities for the generations that followed them.
Every one of those chuds should have to put his decrepit ball sack in their mouth for ten seconds. Shameful bigots.
Damnit, for a second I thought it was gonna be the disgraced congress rep getting sued by a donor.
Let’s hope they alienated a lot of people who had planned to vote for him.
Courts should fast track this one to make an example of them. Arrest them and sentence them this week.
Omg, the belt buckle alone makes me dislike him.
And don't be ashamed about it. Don't advertise it, but also don't hide it. It's 2024 and we're allowed to ask for help.
Yeah, it's about projecting confidence when you want something and you're intimidated by it.
I had the biggest crush on a coworker, but I stick to this rule like it's oxygen. I waited to ask her out until after we stopped working together. To my surprise, she said yes.
Shit, I was able to get my GED to get in to college, didn't complete, and get a job at one of the biggest tech companies on a prestigious project without completing either. But I was self taught and lived and breathed tech stuff to get there at 29 while the people with CS degrees were getting there at 22, so there's a downside. But it's just a piece of paper.
They also know dems are more likely to vote early. I guarantee these vote boxes don't get torched in deeply red counties.
I loved him from Mr Show with Bob and David and The Sarah Silverman Program. I was really disappointed when I saw the pics of him there. What a shame.
Then sovcit went to the store and the hot lady at the register took him in the back and banged him. Two of her hot coworkers joined in. They told him they’ve never been more satisfied.
At some point, things are gonna get bad enough that the masses will turn on them. That’s why they’re all buying islands and building bunkers. We should do it now, while it can make a difference.

More than 20 surgeries have recently been completed by headset-wearing surgeons at UC San Diego Health
> As a result, most surgeons report experiencing discomfort while performing minimal-access surgery, a 2022 study found. About one-fifth of surgeons polled said they would consider retiring early because their pain was so frequent and uncomfortable. A good mixed-reality headset, then, might allow a surgeon to look at a patient’s surgical area and, without looking up, virtual screens that show them the laparoscopy camera and a patient’s vitals.
The “Well-man” likely had blue eyes, blond or light-brown hair, and hailed from southern Norway.
> They were able to extract DNA from a single premolar tooth taken from the mandible. The tooth's cementum and enamel were removed, the tooth was ground into powder, and the sample was zapped with UV radiation to ensure it wasn't contaminated. To determine ancestry, the team compared the Well-man's DNA to a database of more than 6,000 modern-day Norwegians.
Announcements will almost certainly include the first wave of M4-powered Macs.
Most people get excited about new iPhones. I’m always more interested in Apple’s October Mac updates.
Slidell pastor John Raymond asks judge to acquit him after he was found guilty of child cruelty
> Raymond’s previous attorney, Joseph Long, argued at trial that Raymond was in the “crosshairs” of a culture war, and accused District Attorney Collin Sims of being “woke.”
Woah, that's a strong argument, my man. Against a dude who more or less tortures kids (it's been a while since I read about the charges and I didn't complete this article, as I was only interested in learning the new sentencing date, Dec 2). Set the man free! /s
An HBO documentary says he is the real Satoshi Nakamoto.
> Todd’s urgent dismissal of the documentary reads to Hoback like an attempt to throw Satoshi-hunters off the scent. “It doesn’t surprise me at all that Peter would go on the offense. He’s a master of game theory—it’s what he does. He has spent a lot of years now muddying the waters,” says Hoback. “He’s an unbelievable genius.”
I haven't seen the docu, but I did like his (Hoback's) docu about Qanon, Q: Into the Storm.
X terms specify Northern District, where Judge Reed O’Connor is a Tesla investor.
I hate him so much.

Automattic CEO Matt Mullenweg made another buyout offer this week, and threatened employees who speak to the press with termination.
> “He clearly has no clue what people care about or how the community has contributed to the success of WordPress. It very clearly shows how out of touch he is with everyday reality. One, sharing pictures of him being on safari while all this shit is going down, as if people would think that was cool. Only rich tech bros would think that.” (Mullenweg posted photos from a trip on his personal blog and social media posts last week.)
Burning down the whole thing.
Some workers pooled their money or had meals delivered to their homes.
Gotta get creative with your layoffs when you already did massive layoffs but still need to please wall street.
