toynbee@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Just a reminder that our planet is currently the coolest it will ever be in our, and our children's lifetimes.2·15 hours agoI’m so torn on whether to upvote this.
I’ve reread this comment something like six times and have mixed feelings about it.
As an adult, I’ve had three dogs. My wife assigned them each flavors based on their coloration and tendency to curl into a circle.
This one was just “powdered donut.”
This one was cookies and cream.
This one was cinnamon. I feel bad using this picture due to using it in a recent RIP post, but he’s demonstrating the donut pose.
edit: B-b-b-bonus! Though this one is a cat, she’s smores flavored (and, unlike the others pictured, still around, though mellowing with age).
In Krapopolis, they hold their arms half bent and move with the running motion, like a jogging human.
edit: Wording clarification.

That’s true! That was the one included safety device I used right before cutting off my finger tip.
Nor do I. It wasn’t for me.
However, I was unfamiliar with its operation. There was a guard, which I did use; but apparently it was supposed to interface with rails, which I didn’t know about or use. Also it’s commonly used with blade resistant gloves, which I didn’t even own at the time.
So yes, it’s a potentially dangerous device, but there are ways to make it less so.
Something similar happened to me the first … And last … Time I used a mandoline.

Plenty of people (and offices) pay for them but never use them2·2 days agoI got one then, the week after it arrived, I broke my ankle. It hasn’t really properly healed in three years so, while I’ve tried, I can’t really stand long enough for the desk to be useful in standing configuration.
I think I need “kitty” to have three syllables before I can enjoy that.
I definitely don’t like that word.
toynbee@lemmy.worldto PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Getting ready for a good old-fashioned LAN partyEnglish1·3 days agoI’m no expert - I never leave the house so I have no need of one. However, I think OpenVPN is free and allows this functionality? A lot of modern routers even integrate it.
It does, however, require some - a little - technical knowhow.

I would think older games could be tricked into believing they were on a LAN using a VPN.
In case you’re interested, I believe post10 is primarily in property management now, which gives them the financial freedom and free time to do all the stuff they do in their videos.
The YouTube channel started (at least when I came upon it) with them recreationally clearing beaver dams out from culverts (using their knowledge from the public works you referenced to determine whether doing so was both safe and legal). Once that demonstrated itself to be surprisingly popular, they started adding videos about other stuff. Personally, I like the camping videos the most.
Caveat: I’ve done no research whatsoever other than watching their videos.
Thank you for your service!
