Cats that don't know any better can live inside just fine. But I adopted a cat from the shelter that was only allowed to go to a place where he can go outside. And he REALLY wanted to go outside. Usually you have to keep them inside for at least 6 weeks to accomodate before you allow them outside. He escaped through a tiny bathroom window after 2 weeks. And he came back the next morning wondering why I was stressed out. Since then I let him outside. Since then, he also became a lot more chill inside. No whirlstorm on my bed at 4 in the morning, no attacking my feet out of boredom, and he generally seems a lot calmer. Keeping him inside would drive both him and me crazy. So do we have to euthanise all cats like him? Cause locking them up inside is just cruel.

Making an actual episode where there is a race that talks like this would be the perfect way to kill it off. Just imagine Picard attempting to communicate with this race in their own language. No kid will survive the cringe.

For the people unaware why EU4 is hard:

Take risk (the board game)

Now split the provinces till you have more than 3000 provinces. Then add variables to each region for culture, claims, trade good, trade power, buildings, development (in 3 aspects), the region they are part of, the trade node they are part of, religion, autonomy, unrest, devestation, temporary effects, and many many more.

Do the same for armies.

Add complicated politics, with royal marriages that allow countries to inherit other countries, war goals, casus belli requirements, etc.

Add colonization mechanics.

Add government mechanics (with many different variants for different governments ofcourse).

Add a compex Holy Roman Empire system and a complex system for the Chinese empire.

Add mechnics for different religions, including a pope and a religous war that can bring all of europe into a giant war.

Add a pool of diplomats, merchants, generals, and missionaries.

Now realise that I haven't played the game for ages, and this was just mechanics from the top of my head, and without what they added in the last few years.

EU4 is not hard due to required reflexes, muscle memory learning, or rythm feeling. It is just a lot of things to learn and to keep track of, woven into a super complicated simulation.

Just like orbiting something. Satellites are constantly just falling back to earth, but with enough grace to always miss earth. I bet satellites would be great cyclists!

Considering the political climate, I'd guess that sending trumps to eachother instead of toots wouldn't make things any better.

The Netherlands and Belgium are wondering why you are worried at only 60 days. If it doesn't take at least 100 days, usually at least double that, something must be off, right?

As for the porn; there is a big difference in consuming porn, and having porn as a hobby. Similar to the difference of driving a car and having cars as your hobby.

The puzzling part is fun, because you are constantly learning new ways to use your body. See how to balance, how to move around, etc. I have found that dancing gives a similar learning challenge. Especially the more free-form dances like salsa and bachata. It's fun learning new moves every week during the lesson, and then try to see if you can put them to practise during a party.

And don't worry about beeing to stiff. If you can balance around boulders, you can get your body to move around for dancing too. Just takes some practise. I currently do both, and feel like I lack dexterity more for the climbing than for the dancing.

And unlike most of the hand-friendly options mentioned already, you do have to use your hands and arms a lot. Just not in a way that puts any stress on them.

It is a matter of responsibility. If you can log into any lemmy instance or mastodon server with the same account, then which server takes responsibility for your actions in the fediverse?

I have seen instances be defederate from because of their lax account creation requirements, or because of harrasment from users from a specific instance.

If an account can log into any instance, then who is responsible for banning the account?

Makes sense from an internet topology point of view. The Netherlands is quite centrally located when looking at international connections. The amount of data centers is also quite high, especially for the population.

Since the speed is infinite, the wavelength is always zero, no matter the frequency. But a wavelength of zero at infinite speed means an infinite number of waves hit the eye in any constant amount of time. Hence, and infinite amount of energy hits the eye at practically the same moment. But assuming your eye (and all of the universe) does not incinerate instantly, you will not be able to see the difference between red and blue, since they are perceived to have the same wavelength (zero). So yeah, technically you no longer have blue/redshifting.

Math and physics can also help to solve . So this template works fine as is for math and physics.
