@stux You are a Dutch person, you are not evolved for walking, you are evolved for biking.
@pthenq1 Sure, though they will need to change some pretty huge laws to make that even legal... Thankfully so far no one has made any attempt at walking back HIPAA regulations that protect your medical records.
Putting most of my investments in crypto in to #Cardano is completely paying off this week. I think im up like 30% in the last week.
@catonano I was on google earth and saw almost this exact structure recently (not sure if it was this or a different location). It was the remenants of a fort I think, somewhere in alaska if memory serves
@obsolete29 I use funkwhale, which has several apps to choose from. It is federated and you can host your own (QOTO hosts ones which is what I use).
Feel free to use it as well. There are a few libraries you can follow floating around so you dont need to provide your own music.
@pthenq1 Unlikely, we didnt even do that with the poliovaccine and that disease was many orders of magnitude worse.
@js290 The specifics of the benefits and downsides of masks are not something I am pushing in either direction with this meme.
@voltar13 I am very happy you did :)
@freemo You've inspired me to share my favourite poem. Original is in Polish, so I'll post a translation to reach a wider audience.
"Nothing can ever happen twice.
In consequence, the sorry fact is
that we arrive here improvised
and leave without the chance to practice.
Even if there is no one dumber,
if you're the planet's biggest dunce,
you can't repeat the class in summer:
this course is only offered once.
No day copies yesterday,
no two nights will teach what bliss is
in precisely the same way,
with precisely the same kisses.
One day, perhaps some idle tongue
mentions your name by accident:
I feel as if a rose were flung
into the room, all hue and scent.
The next day, though you're here with me,
I can't help looking at the clock:
A rose? A rose? What could that be?
Is it a flower or a rock?
Why do we treat the fleeting day
with so much needless fear and sorrow?
It's in its nature not to stay:
Today is always gone tomorrow.
With smiles and kisses, we prefer
to seek accord beneath our star,
although we're different (we concur)
just as two drops of water are"
-- Wisława Szymborska, Nothing Twice (pl: Nic dwa razy)
He's right, you absolutely should listen to him and interact with me less.
I spend half of every year int he carribean SCUBA diving and island hoping.. I think im good.
And yet are now completely triggered because while you were out drinking someone was here working, stuck behind a computer, and chatting about wikipedia while you were gone.. how awful, no wonder your so triggered.
Oh no a thread discussing the merits of wikipedia went on in your absence. How ever shall you cope, poor thing.
Thi sisnt ab out what side is correct. Wikipedia just needs to provide the citations and arguments, not dictate a conclusion.
Maybe you are talking about someone else and I got the names mixed up. Thought you were talking about the cop who got hit int he head with a fire extinguisher then died of a stroke the next day.
taking a blow to the head and then having a stroke 24 hours later is not magick and perfectly reasonable to connect the two
@1iceloops123 long term... no.. short term, anything can be if you play the right cards
