    News report - Date unknown

    In the early days of the war the Russian regime made regular threats to use nuclear weaponry, but most experts and lay-people believed that even that brutally sadistic despot would not go the extreme of destroying the earth to achieve his goals.

    By 2024 Russia was doing small-scale ecocide in hopes of lending credence to their threats. Looking back, the poisoning of an entire riparian ecosystem connected to the Desna River in what was Ukraine should have been a clear signal of what was to come. But nobody listened and the nuclear weapons flew.


    I am not making a joke here. This is where my brain naturally went when reading this. Let's just hope my invasive thoughts are wrong.

    [Edit: I am also not saying to appease this fucking psycho either. This is just a snippet of thought that I felt the urge to share.]

    How can you respectfully tell someone that they will burn for all eternity for not following the same book you do?

    Yeah the printing lines were not even sanded off the top.

    I do want to thank you kindly for the offer to print one up. You Rock! But shipping to Canada would probably be ugly.

    I hope to pick up a 3d printer this winter and if I manage it I will use this as a learning project.

    I pay for yt family premium and Netflix but use neither of them on a regular basis.

    My nephews grew up with a pretty shitty life. They don't have a lot of fun things they can do in their situation. I figured the least I could do is give them YouTube music and some access to watch TV and movies on Netflix wherever they happen to be.

    It's the same reason my steam family is chock full of games I'll never play.

    Can we please be friends? I'll make sure those lovely snacks don't go to waste. I can bring two grackles, a bluejay, and a couple of raccoons to fill out the party. Oh, and my wife!

    Has strawberry gotten any easier to theme? I tried a few years back and just couldn't handle the aesthetics, and theming it seemed to only do some parts properly.

    Location: Canada Background: When I first started wearing glasses the optometrist would just give me a piece of paper that I could take to any shop to get my lenses made. Then they started refusing that paper and insisting I either leave my frames with them for two weeks, or that I buy new frames. And now it seems like even asking for the script, or the measurements, is 'against policy'. --- I recently went in for an eye exam and some new glasses, and the optician said something I have never been told before. I had asked if they could give me the prescription for my sunglass lenses since they don't deal with the brand that I prefer, and he said that I would have to schedule another appointment at a shop that deals with that brand, because the prescription was not enough, and I would also need the measurements he took. I asked if I could have those measurements and he said it was against policy. Is he lying to try to get me to buy new frames from his shop? Or is there something to what he is saying? Confession - When he walked away I took a picture of the measuring app he had used which seems to show all the measurements. Would this be useful to another shop? I'm just trying to buy lenses without spending a fortune on yet another frame. It all feels like a scam.

    There are four from the most recent batch. But they are never all in one spot. And the parents don't come around much during the summer.

    The private servers have been up a while. But it is always hard for fan projects to gain traction for devs, players, or donations, when the IP could be yanked at any time. NCSoft granting a license should provide one heck of a shot in the arm for this cult classic game. Go. Hunt. KILL Skul!

    I thought this growth pattern was weird, and on inspection it seems like it pushed up past a tiny root that is now choking it. I was thinking of going out his morning to cut the root out. What do the pros think?

    Ok, you got me. These are from last year. But the mycelial networks are kicking into high gear right about now, and I'm getting antsy for some photo hunting.

    I'm looking for a set of motorcycle saddlebags in the style of vintage horse riding gear. Example below, but my 'perfect' version is quite a bit darker: ![](https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/fe75be00-937a-42b1-988e-daced1ff43a0.png)
