Perfection is the enemy of progress.

I can't even imagine how hot it would get under that armor. Especially during a midsummer skirmish.

Well, for starters, "tankie" is a pejorative term used to describe people that are staunch supporters of authoritarian communist regimes, that often overlook, excuse, or just outright support the atrocities that these regimes commit.

Second, I have no issues with a left wing peertube instance. However, Tankies don't like anyone from the left unless they 100% align with their extreme views (they hate Democrats, Social Democrats, and most liberals in general as they feel that they are supportive of imperialism and capitalism), so don't for a second act like I'm in the wrong here for asking people to be extremely skeptical of this source. The label of "tankie" suggests that it's an extremist view of leftwing view points....which goes back to my original comment. Everything should be taken with a healthy amount of doubt and skepticism.

Can we get a better source than "Tankie.tube"? I mean,I hate Trump as much as the next rational, empathetic human being, but let's not kid ourselves that this is an impartial, or reliable news source...

Yeah it's already been said that AI is not exactly cost-effective. There's a chance that it can get way dumbed down, privatized and expensive, or just completely dropped. What happens to all of those people that relied on it for their careers then?

How about we stop deporting people don't like, whether they are white, brown, purple, or Jake Paul?

"Look, I know that these people voted for you and yours to suffer, but you just need to get over that so that we can come together and be a happy family again. You not getting over that one little tiny bump in our past just alienates everyone that wanted to see your life destroyed. It was a tiny blip from our past. Just get over it already." ~You....for the most part.

Oof. Yeah, I did forgot how bad that interface was..

Apologies! Didn't realize. Just saw an interesting question.

[–] Alteon@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It's mixed. I remember getting a blowjob from this one chick in college. I was in a dry spell, and she was eager to please. She was definitely not the most attractive women I am ever met, but she made up for it just in the enthusiasm. I came...but she kept going....my god she was a fucking champ. I still remember that one.

There was another time with a different girl, post-nut clarity kicked in with the vengeance and I pretty much threw my clothes on and ran out the door. Fuck the walk of shame, that was the sprint of regret.

 

Trump slams Netanyahu for truce violation, says it is still in effect and that he is not seeking regime change in Iran.

 

 

I tried my hand at making a starter years ago and it went poorly. I was gifted some starter earlier this week and have been bulking it up in order to bake some bread this weekend. The starter is MUCH better than any of the ones I've ever made, so Ive had high hopes all week that my sourdough will actually come out decent this time.

I've been following this recipe, and it's been going....not well. Everything was weighed to the gram, including the starter, and "lukewarm" water was about 80ish degrees. The dough is so unbelievably sticky that I can barely scrape it off the sides of the bowl.

Is this normal? It's been years since I've done this so I'm back to questioning everything. I'm planning to just drop the whole thing into a Dutch oven and cook it, but I understand that I'm deviating from the recipe. My Dutch oven cooks were just so much better.

Cna anyone provide a better recipe for just a basic sourdough boule that you've had decent success with? I'd really like to continue baking bread, but I know for a fact that I'll wind up giving up again if I have too many failures (I think I baked 8 different times a few years ago, and I gave up because they were always so dense, and flat.). Really want something with a good, fluffy, stretchy crumb.

Any advice or questions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

 

A University of Virginia professor believes he has discovered how to create a freeze-ray device, inspired by the Batman villain, Mr. Freeze. Rather than being a weapon, this device is intended to cool down electronics within spacecraft and high-altitude jets.

 

A tiny, hard-working bacterium -- which weighs one-trillionth of a gram -- may soon have a large influence on processing rare earth elements in an eco-friendly way.

"Traditional thermochemical methods for separating lanthanides are environmentally horrible," said Buz Barstow, assistant professor of biological and environmental engineering at Cornell, the corresponding author. "It's difficult to refine these elements. That's why we send rare earth elements offshore -- generally to China -- to process them."
