They do/did here in Virginia. They’re “skill games” or something. Some law changed it something because they’ve been turned off with a sign taped to the screen for a while now.

That’s great. One of mine is remembering that the Guy on a buffalo videos exist.

Be the change you want to see in the word.

Is it just me, or do programmers only come in “lightweight” and “Rivals Þor in trying to drink the oceans dry” varieties?

Somehow I manage to be both. My alcohol tolerance is very high (which is great… I like a little buzz but never want to be actually drunk), but for me, one toke is over the line.

I’m not native, but have lived in Philly. The bell peppers bother me. Wiz, American, provolone, or Swiss all are pretty common in my experience. As is no cheese at all, which this appears to be. But then it’s not a cheesesteak, it’s a steak.

No, that’s a person who always believes they’re sick. You’re thinking of hemophiliac.

Just like within actual government there’s supposed to be balance of power between different branches or houses, there’s this idea that the role of the press is to hold governments accountable.

(More of an ELI12, but that’s the gist of the idea)

I’ve been running opensuse for years now. It’s great. Welcome aboard

It Could Happen Here is often talking about what’s going on that week in the world. I wouldn’t try to listen to their whole backlog, but I usually catch an episode or two a week.

Behind the Bastards is great. Since I found it (Summer 2020, I’d reckon), I’ve listened to most of what has come out since.

Cool People who did Cool Stuff is a sort of spin off of btb. Deep dives on people and movements who were resisting the bastards. It’s only been going on a couple of years, so the backlog is more manageable if that’s your thing.

I listen to Past Times on the Dollop feed most weeks. The Dollop is another deep dive history podcast. On Past Times, they read headlines and articles from different newspaper every week. Usually from the late 19th through early 20th century, but they’ve gone as far back as the 1600s.

Anything by Jamie Loftus is great. She’s mostly done short run things on a single topic. She’s on the Bechdel cast, too which I listen to occasionally.

You might enjoy The Deprogram, which has a less daunting backlog.

Before covid lockdown I made my living as a street performer, doing magic shows for crowds of strangers. In that very niche community, “Fat hats!” is a common farewell or replacement for “good luck”. In this case “hat” refers to the donations in the hat rather than the actual hat.

Sounds like they have been.

On your phone? As someone who lives in emacs and has done aoc in the past, I’m impressed

I spread pesto inside my grilled cheese sandwiches

There’s not a complete sentence after the period, so no.

I hadn’t seen the spam myself, but I think it’s to do with this.

I’ve heard that the issue for some cats isn’t that they can see the bottom, but that their whiskers hit the side of the bowl and that’s uncomfortable.

I had the same question, and decided that the pour over is the closest in the image. I’ve been an anarchist a long time anyway.

online-go.com is the closest I know of.

Just go to online-go.com in your preferred browser. It works great on mobile. There’s a large collection of puzzles to do. Those are user submitted, which means the quality varies, but some people have put together some pretty good sets that work as tutorials for beginners.

OGS is the most popular server outside of Asia, and has a nice social side with chat rooms and… clubs? I don’t remember their name for it, but you can join groups for finding teaching games, groups for people in your geographic region, etc.

I don’t log on often these days, but I love teaching new players. Feel free to add me as a friend there (and maybe dm me here so I know to look). My name there is nomadfarmer.

You should. It’s a fun drama that inspired a lot of people to pick up go when it came to Western audiences.
