They usually remind me they’re in business once a year when I see people online complaining about them killing off something else that was incredibly useful but that Google just got bored with.

Offer to trim her armor, girls like trimmed armor, Zezima told me.

It was more a joke about the people who keep uploading videos of them “offroading” in their cybertrucks (trying to justify their purchase) and it’s really no different than a whole lot of actual rural roads that people drive on daily with their 20 year old two wheel drives sedans.

Probably need them for off-roading on rural gravel roads.

I know. It just seemed to me that their influence began to ramp up even more (perhaps that was just my local troop though) when the LDS Church started paying registrations and activities fees in the early 90s but it truthfully happened slowly like boiling a frog over a long time.

In the US they never dropped the mandatory overtures to religiosity. In fact, there was a period in the 90s-early 2000s where one sizable religious group who had replaced their prior youth organization with the BSA got pretty involved at the national level to the detriment of the program as a whole. While it’s not really required in any real sense at the troop level, you do have to affirm a belief in some “higher power” as an adult volunteer. (I’m an Eagle Scout and now atheist)

In Sweden, the Svenska Scoutförbundet was an outgrowth from the original UK scouting movement, but I don’t know how big it was/is.

I definitely was thinking of how litRPG fit in when working on a couple of the squares. I have a soft spot for JP Valentine since I was introduced to the genre via his books.

This very reason is why I cut off both thumbs. Can’t force me to unlock my phone with my thumb print now. Checkmate, cops.

Less risk of computer viruses, higher risk of bird flu though.

I love SwiftOnSecurity.

We can remember it for you wholesale.

I used to use Delicious Library but the developer went to work for Apple and he can’t develop the app any longer. I switched to Book Tracker but it’s trying to be more than I want so I’m not set on it.

“Never say goodbye. If you don’t say goodbye you aren’t really gone. You just aren’t here right now.”

I only use Goodreads anymore to track my book collection or when trying to find books for high school students at the library where I work when looking for similar books to recommend to ones they’ve already read and enjoyed.

I use it for tracking my own books because I can add a plug-in into Calibre, which automatically takes care of it, but I’ve also started using StoryGraph and hardcover.app which is a more manual process, but hopefully can get automated soon as Hardcover at least has a public API.

I’d be interested if anybody wants to share links to their own on those services. I’d like more people to follow, my links available in my bio on Lemmy

The Library at Mount Char. I wasn’t sure what was going on/where it was going for much of it like a good Cohen Brothers movie. And there were definitely a few things that I didn’t expect to happen.

Someone in a Michigan Sheriff Dept figured out FUD gets attention and wanted some internet attention.

Well, it started as just SpaceX Airplane, then it transitioned to SpaceX Starship, and finally after a legal battle over the name with the original members, the splitters became just Starship.

This history also ignores the founders that split off to start Hot Tuna.

One of the things I like best about the Joe text editor is its native WordStar-like interface. You can even use it strictly like WordStar with a fairly simple change.

You wouldn’t shoot a Policeman and then steal his helmet. You wouldn’t go to the toilet in his helmet, and then send it to the Policeman’s grieving widow, and then steal it again.
