Yet another Reddit refugee from the great 3rd party app purge of 2023. This account is mostly for learning how Lemmy works and may be purged once I get around to hosting my own instance.

Obligatory fuck /u/Spez.

I know it’s a mess mate, but let’s just go down to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for this all to blow over.


They did sort of use CO2/CO in the earlier days, in the form of poorly maintained van trucks that would drive around the camps with their exhaust piped directly into the back of the van. That was slow and inefficient though, as the truck had to run long enough to actively displace all the oxygen within the volume of the van.

Zyklon B from its Wikipedia page was intended as a pesticide so there was already a large industrial supply lying around. It works on a cellular level and will cause widespread cell death within 2 minutes of inhalation at extremely low concentrations, making it ultimately much faster with less maintenance.

I’m not a historical expert, but the deaths caused by Zyklon B are also described to be much, much more violent than simply passing out from oxygen deprivation- and I could posit that the Nazis, viewing jews et al. as not human, would have preferred such a death for them.



I’m sure it’s just autism, but I start taking machines apart in my head, or go through steps of a project I’m in the middle of. I can walk through step by step of how every part interacts, visualize how it moves and where the wear and contact points are, which tool I need for fastener X, Y and Z… then go farther down, and think about how each part would itself be cast, machined, welded, and packaged for assembly. Somewhere in the rote repetition of it, I’ll pass clean out.


Outside of the hard sciences where youre there to learn necessary specific foundational knowledge and technical stuff - mech/elec/civil engineering, high level medical, etc - it really doesn’t. The degree is proof that you can put your head down and manage yourself well enough to survive in the white collar world.


It won’t fix the spam problem if stuff goes south though with things like repost bots. That’s a lot of excess traffic. OP definitely should host their own instance.


Yes. Host your own Lemmy instance. It’s not that hard and can be run locally with no federation.


I’ve got a ~20oz Yeti vacuum stainless bottle with the small-opening screw-on top. I think I’ve used it for, maybe 5 years at this point? A long while. It’s the right size for casual carrying at work and school, but I use a bigger non-insulated body when doing physical labor.

That poor yeti gets bounced off the back of ATV’s, thrown in toolboxes, left baking in the car, all sorts of shit. It’s dinged up and doesn’t sit flat on a table but still doesn’t leak so it keeps going.


a God? Maybe. There are too many technical coincidences in life and physics for me to believe all of it was random chance.

the God? Nah. I was raised non-denominational Christian but I don’t even go as far as to claim that anymore.



NOT illegal, and not crazy shocking weird. But niche enough that when I find content I like, I do try to download it because finding it again on the typical streaming sources can sometimes be a crapshoot.


It’ll take her so long to scroll through all the movies and TV episodes that she’ll never get far enough down the file tree to find the niche porn.


What does he play it on?

If he’s like I was and playing on hand me down office PC’s, consider getting a better keyboard/mouse, headphones, a stick of memory or something in that line to improve his experience. Actual pc upgrades are probably a little expensive for your budget, although really nice large monitors can be had for <$150 these days.


The bank account does not an attractive person make.

Dude has okay looks but a manipulative,self centered, egotistical personality. I can’t imagine he’d even be tolerable as a friend let alone a partner- and his 3 separate marriages can attest to that.

Kinda feels like you’ve fallen down the celebrity worship rabbit hole and/or see dollar signs.


Mechanical pluckers are not perfect, probably had a few too many fingers break off and nobody caught it until after the batch was finished

I’d pluck them and cook it anyway. No need to waste the meat over what’s ultimately a cosmetic only problem.



Reddit’s continuous contributions were more shitposts and inside jokes though, so the little I do read here feels a lot more personal and more in depth. It’s pretty nice.

I needed excuses to get the hell off my phone more anyway.


my dude all your other alts of identical names spend their entire time spamming anti-lgtbq hate

nobody wants to be part of your communities. it should be zero surprise you’re a reddit moderator too, perhaps you should stay over there.


soulless profit-extracting corporations do not need you to simp for them

also quit using so many alts dude, take the hint when you get banned


hey snowflake. maybe you should go back to your little safe space at exploding heads where you can hate on trans people without seeing such scary, abhorrent things as digital piracy. instead of hiding behind your 4th alt of the day.



I'm going back to the basics this summer. Minecraft.
This has been the year(s?) of absolutely *craptastic* releases. I've been incredibly busy in college for quite a while, only half-assedly following most of them, but following them close enough to see just about everyone gripe about the terrible state of polish things are being released in for both consoles *and* PC. But y'know what? Screw all that. Screw shooters and AAA "masterpieces" and microtransactions and all that fast-paced hoopla. I'm just gonna go back to playing Minecraft all summer, like it's 2014 again. Probably mostly a vanilla server with a few close friends and my long-distance GF. Maybe mix in a little modded tech packs for some excitement that isn't quite as hardcore as Factorio is. Maybe get on some public servers and play some minigames while getting drunk. Minecraft, or at least the java edition, has largely escaped the massive commercialization push of the gaming industry. And being in a game where there's no stress, no 'grind', no dopamine button pushers.... just a game where you're living life how you want it, when you want it, is something I desperately, *desperately* need right now. Who's with me?
