1846 historical account by Francis Parkman called “The Oregon Trail”, narrated by Frank Muller. Francis was around 24 at the time and as a white male, certainly was influenced by the prevailing views of his time, but lived, feasted and hunted with Native Americans and directly observed their culture. He captures an era of American History in a unique way.

Plus, it isn’t so good that you can’t fall asleep. +8, would definitely do again.

The cardboard paper towel megaphone should be anyones first choice for both announcements and updates.

Purely anecdotal but I was in Costa Rica in September of 2020. I was struck by the difference and better preparedness compared to the US.

Every store and place of business had not only signs and hand sanitizer at the entrance, nobody was in stores without masks, and I drove by a line of people over half a mile long and 3-4 people deep, of people waiting in line for hours to get vaccinated.

The taxi driver told me there was some program to provide vaccines to CR and what he did was stay in line and hold the place for his family for awhile and then they would wait in line allowing him to work for awhile. Overall they took public safety measures much more seriously than the US, but I was in a wealthier urban area, don’t know how it was in the rural areas.

Having to constantly find new hiding places for the blood chalice, and keeping up with all the latest scanning methods so you can develop countermeasures. Your secret is never truly safe.

Lord Sauron is a simple working class person just like you and me. He received the diamond mines from his father only after he had proven himself. He knows what is best for all of us.

Friendzone level…

Be Bold. Sort by new and brave the shitstorm. That’s the only way to do Lemmy.

According to Lord Sauron, wasps are just trying to help, and are very misunderstood. Please let them into your house, they will reform.

Good name for a band.

Linkedin also wants to steal all your content to train AI. #winning

It all started with the hogs taking Washington State.

I am disappointed with all of you. Please go to your room.

I like 3 also. if you can’t get a good user experience privacy matters less because there are no users, and anyone can spin up a super privacy enhanced instance if they want.

I was thinking however that a super stand alone image server would be a great thing for Lemmy, and pixelfed and the Fediverse in general.

Imgur blew up and was the go to for image hosting on Reddit for years, until Reddit realized it was leaking traffic and users to them and started their own. But hosting images has a lot of potential headaches like copyright violations and big corps suing you into oblivion, in addition to inadvertently hosting illegal stuff. The Fediverse will need some good image hosting servers and video hosting servers as part of the plan in the long run though.

Rapunzel.

I am willing to step forward to solve this problem. Meesa propose unlimited emergency powers. Store all DNA in buckets, shrink wrapped to perfection. Most kind.

+1 for German sense of play

Every goddamn thing wrapped in plastic that prevents crumbs from falling out.

Obvious. They turn orange.
