Yeah, I certainly won’t use any product associated with that muskrat.

That’s what we need to do more often - mock these chuckfucks. Don’t get angry/irritated because that’s what they want, just point and laugh at them.

Friend of mine lives within walking distance of the gas station where he was just spotted. She’s on lockdown, helicopters flying overhead, schools are closed for the day, etc

Yeah, but foraging for wild mushrooms is something y’all are taught from a very young age. You’re taught what kinds are safe to eat, and what ones to absolutely avoid. I highly doubt anyone with a scientific background would just randomly eat mushrooms without positive identifications.

Given that this is Russia, he probably refused to stand near any windows and had an affinity for wild mushrooms so someone took advantage of the situation lol

I collected hundreds and glued them to my ceiling to make a disco mirror. It was epic lol

Just last month I came across a cd I burned with Mandrake Linux that I had downloaded - 26 years ago!

I should try and install that on a virtual PC and see how it feels/looks hahaha

Not exactly world news related…

My favorite part of the story of Ludwig II was that he basically bankrupted the region building these castles. He was found dead floating in the moat surrounding the castle, and there was basically no investigation. Everyone was like “meh, case closed” and moved on with life hahaha.

Lol, oh don’t get me started on ads. I loathe ads to the point where I have a router-level ad blocking to filter them out (I don’t use it but piHole but that’s a great option for the DIYer out there). That combined with my FF uBlock origin extension and I see very few ads anywhere online

I was an avid Firefox user for many years. Switched to Chrome for a while when it got good. But I knew it wouldn’t last - google would find ways to break it. So I switched back to Firefox a few years ago. Haven’t looked back.

Back when he was just wrapping up C&H, he published a book (I forget the name) where he talks about his experiences, his favorite strips, etc.

He has often mentioned licensing and how he had resisted animated series because he knew they were going to kill the magic that is C&H. One of his biggest regrets was licensing the rights to the Calvin pissing on the FORD logo (or was it Chevy? I forget). Because that was in poor taste and now it’s everywhere.

I’m honestly shocked that he’s agreed to an animated movie, I figured he must have passed away and his estate was milking the C&H for more royalties haha.

Crazy to think it was only about fifteen years ago the small Data-storage server reseller I worked for was selling their own in-house server racks - a whole 52U rack filled with Supermicro drive bays to store a petabyte of data was $300k and that was a steal of a deal at the time.

Sure, that system was redundant and this is a single pbSSD, but still crazy to see how fast things are evolving

Wow, who could have ever seen that coming. What’s surprising is that it’s being reported… must be a desperate effort to call people to action to support their nation?

My partner needed to buy a new vehicle. A Tesla Model was easily in budget. But they opted not to buy one because they want zero affiliation with Musk or any connotations that they may endorse his behavior by owning one of his products.

Crazy how people are still finding new things to cram doom into. I remember when that was a popular thing to do twenty years ago haha

But I’ll admit, stuffing it into a keycap is pretty damn impressive, albeit useless haha

Even a simple kbin link would work.

For example since this community is “fediverse” on the lemmy.world instance my link would be

https://kbin.social/m/fediverse@lemmy.world/

Loving the tool - but when i try to login and put in the instance of kbin.social it gives me an error

Pretty sure you forgot the /s

Remember, sarcasm doesn’t translate well on the internet.

Did you read the article I linked to? This guy was NOT a loyal republican. He was a hardcore anti-trump long-time democrat.

Apparently something “clicked” in his head back in 2019 and he made a HARD right turn which totally shocked everyone who knew him.

This lends evidence to my hypothesis that being a republican really is a mental illness.

I had to search for his name, and wow what a doozy: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/18/us/W-McCall-Calhoun-Jr-georgia-capitol-riot.html

It’s a long read but here’s a preview:

Over the past three decades, as the state around him turned ever more resolutely Republican, W. McCall Calhoun Jr. remained an outspoken and unwavering liberal. He gave money to Democrats, ran for office as a Democrat and zealously championed Democratic policies in social circles that were far from sympathetic. If friends admitted they voted for Donald J. Trump, his reaction could be blistering.
“He was hard core, there’s no doubt about it,” said Dr. Michael Busman, a physician who has known Mr. Calhoun for years. “He wouldn’t even want to talk to you if you were Republican.”
But last year, as the progressive movement in Georgia was on the cusp of historic electoral triumph, Mr. Calhoun, a small-town lawyer whose family had long roots in the state, suddenly abandoned the Democrats. And not only that, he pledged to kill them.
