@robryk yea if you hold the vent open you can safely puncture it. But for liability reasons they wont say all that.

@robryk butane is particularly troublesome because its a liquid at pressure.

@robryk Because empty doesnt always mean empty... A tank can have gas stop coming out and then when you turn it off pressure will build up again as it warms. This is particularly true if they are a liquid at pressure.

So it can read as empty and gas might not come out but when you go to puncture it it may have re pressurized by then.

Lets build towards standards and let mastodon silo themselves if they want.

@Methylcobalamin

@selea Fair, vims a good choice :) As said im mostly on spacemacs but have been wanting to give neovim another try lately.

@admin

Yup, that comment was a good test too because it shows 1) I agreed that Trump was shit and 2) was only critical of Biden as well

So shows even when someone agrees, simply criticising their own worshipful idiot is enough... showing a pretty extreme silo mentality.. its a good litmus test to weed out the problem ones in society, throw them a two-for where you agree with them but add a minor criticism of their side with it and see if they loose their shit or not.

@flexghost

@flexghost

your right extremes do... almost like the extreme of muting anyone you disagree with.. says a lot about you.

@flexghost The first time biden has actually said something correct. Was bound to happen eventually.

@LindaCollins11

Pastors themselves pay ffull taxes. It is only the church, which is a type of charitable organization, which gets cuts

@peterdrake

This seems to address racism more so than racial prehistory.

I think its clear that huamns from his books are modern day race of humans. I think its also clear many modern day species like spiders and eagles are intended to be descended from those in the boom.

That said orcs and dwarves are certainly less clear but i think its a safe bet that tolkein intended modern day races to be connected to these anctient races in some way.

@trinsec

@trinsec "butchering"... I never heard that word used before to mean "correcting"

Just as it was foretold in the ancient texts...

#LotR #Tolkein

@selea I miss atom, but since it went away i moved to vs code should i need a GUI... that said in reality I tend to use spacemacs.

What do you use?

Did Tolkein intend for modern day Little People/Dwarfs to be linked with Dwarves from #lotr

I have thought about this alot and I think we can agree with a solid no. There is no description in his work of Dwarvews being able to intermate with any other race. In fact there is strong evidence they likely couldnt.

However hobbits could, in fact, interbreed with humans (as elves could). I suspect Tolkein intended modern day Little People to be associated with hobbits rather than dwarves.

I also say that its likelyt here is a connectiona t all because tolkein did write LotR as if it was a pre-history. So I suspect he did intend some sort of connection somewhere.

@freeschool

You mean your upload limit directly to qoto.org and not one of our services like nextcloud? I need to check how to do that and if it can be done on a per-user basis.

But wouldnt it be better if i setup a service specifically for pod casts that is AP federated? One exists. Then you can just boost it from your account here since it will show as a fedi account and post.

@bonifartius

@admitsWrongIfProven if your offering large sacks of money ill take one ;)
