I hope you can take some solace in the fact that you gave her a good life and made her feel loved. May you one day meet again.

These are great, learned 2 new words I never heard before. Slightly related, but in fine fettle can also be used to refer to someone in good shape (mentally or physically).

Haven’t had this particular brand, but I’ve made vegan musubi before with another. Turned out great and tbh I couldn’t tell the difference. The only downside was the price difference.

That’s awesome. Almost looks like fan art, but IMO has more charm than CGI

Stoked. I missed playing MGS3 when it first came out and am glad to hear this remake is exactly like the original because I hear it was arguably the best in the series.

All the video games magazines would do an E3 issue and I remember binging on all the game announcements and event photos. Good times

$6.4B for HashiCorp on the heels of $4.6B for Apptio and $34B for Red Hat back in 2018. I wonder how long until they expect each of these acquisitions to be accretive?

Recently moved over to porkbun after dealing with a couple billing issues with namecheap and not getting the best customer service. Been pretty happy so far.

Not sure what you are suggesting the better alternative would be? Scrap it? Whoever purchased the used vehicle could have bought a new car instead (which would have required more raw materials for processing).

One common issue I noticed among environmentalists is they argue with each other about what the perfect solution should be instead of just starting somewhere. Any progress is better than nothing at the rate the climate is changing and such progress tends to compound over time.

Great idea, jotted down a list of things I’ve found to be impactful over the past year, some of them overlap with what’s already been posted.

• Installed solar panels (according to my app, last year they produced enough MWh to equal 8.5 tons of CO2)

• Trade in our ICE car for an EV (in a year has avoided 5.5 tons of CO2)

• Insulated our house (attic and walls) coupled with double-pane windows. Cuts down on AC and furnace usage immensely and makes the house much more pleasant overall

• Prefer 100% cotton clothing/avoid synthetic materials

• Installed a Lint-Luv-R microplastic filter on our washing machine

• Shop at refillable container store and avoid single-use plastic where possible

• Eat more plant-based food, e.g. oat milk, rice, tofu, beans, noodles, etc.

• Install a rain diverter in our downspouts to collect rain water

• Reusable diapers if you have an infant/toddler. Diaper waste piles up fast

• Run/walk to the gym and grocery store

• Prefer items made in North America versus overseas (cargo ships burn bunker fuel )

• For coffee, I bring a travel cup and ask if they can fill that instead of a plastic cup (iced) or cup with a plastic lid (hot)

• Donate to reputable environmental organizations

• Replace landscaping with native plants, allow pollinators to do their thing

• Vote for the world you want to live in and pass on: with your time, dollar, and ballot

The music alone is 🔥

Petting my dog now, have to agree with Charlie

Those are rookie numbers, gotta pump those up. First world ballers are working 140+ hours/week. /s

Terrible. Getting caught up in a geopolitical fight while you’re just trying to eke out a living. Hope their families find peace.

The area has witnessed increasingly frequent run-ins between Philippine vessels and tiny wooden fishing boats against much larger Chinese coast guard ships and what Manila says are shadowy Chinese “maritime militia” fishing vessels.

Wooden fishing boats vs. steel hull ships tells you everything about who’s the aggressor. Hope they find a resolution.

Not surprising. Everyone should be wary of what they share online and not expect that companies will respect their privacy. That said, I wish it weren’t so and training AI with our data seems dystopian

Good reminder to do this for my personal sites. Wonder if they’re scraping the fediverse for data to train on now that reddit started to clamp down on its API
