Early humans already had mountain streams, which are refreshing as fuck in summer (or year round for the tropics, or winter for south africa). And Africa is actually pretty mountainous, it’s kind of an issue for infrastructure development.

Yes, I thought it made more sense this way. Bit of a bad habit. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an ‘edited’ indicator on Lemmy.

Are you Australian or just that freaky?

I mean, it’s winter sometimes.

This graphic includes long pants as an option - when it’s cold enough to wear long pants, it’s definitely cold enough for long sleeves.

You people sleep in tshirts instead of longsleeves?

I got a device from a competitor (the original company’s devices are >20€ nowadays). Worked great, too, but its longevity sucked - the next year, the ceramic plate didn’t get hot enough anymore, even with fresh batteries. Yet another example of “buy cheap, buy twice”.

One of those cocktail stirring spoons with a long, round handle. Makes stirring a glass full of ice extremely easier compared to normal spoon handles. In contrast, I found mixing glasses and cocktail shakers fairly optional (and those tend to be more expensive than $20 anyway if they’re decent quality).

Most land animals are crustaceans (insects, spiders etc.), actually. Unless you define crustaceans as fish, too, which stretches the word ‘fish’ even more than including all land animals but isn’t completely without logic, either. ‘fish’ is a really imprecise category.

Yeah, but you can’t just roll in on a Harley when it’s a cyberpunk dystopia.

IDK about you, but if I became a vampire, got 150 years old without visibly aging and recovered from severe wounds without medical assistance I would probably consider myself ‘immortal’.

*worst

Now that is a sick motorcycle sound!

Huh, that’s kinda neat. Though IDK if that really has the visual impact that people associate with cyberpunk …

… do we actually have “cool looking motorcycles”, especially compared what was already available 20 or even 30 years ago?

I usually have a good time with isometric fantasy rpgs in the vein of Baldur’s Gate. They don’t really have grind, the world is generally well-filled with a relatively dense story and interesting quests (denser than Skyrim at least), and if the game becomes too hard you can turn down the difficulty. Though you do need to actually be interested in the combat mechanics (which are much more complicated than e.g. in Elder Scrolls games) to really enjoy these games, IMO. One downside is that these types of games are usually really long; I’ve dropped a couple of them halfway because they overstayed their welcome.

Some examples:

• Baldur’s Gate 3 (don’t really need to have played 1+2 to enjoy this one, though they’re still very good)

• Divinity: Original Sin 1+2

• Pillars of Eternity 1+2 (2 has much better combat, but the first one is pretty important to understand the world)

• Tyranny (this is a relatively short one)

• Pathfinder: Kingmaker 1+2

For more Skyrim-style games, I really enjoyed the Gothic series. I think their level of grind is about the same as Skyrim (probably a little less, but it’s been a while), and if you can get past the outdated graphics of the early titles they’re quite fun. Especially the dialogues, they aren’t as serious as Skyrim’s.

And yet, somehow they either didn’t do it yet or hid it really, really well.

I know Germany-Germans who are allergic to cat hair. Though that doesn’t mean that east asians can’t have a higher prevalence than europeans.

That would also be unprecedented.

We have yet to see any country just give their allies nukes, and it doesn’t look like any of these countries give half a shit about Iran in the first place.
