And here we can see why one simply doesn’t walk into Mordor.

One must decide which way to go, or they’ll bump their nose on a door frame.

I kind of love it when they do this

My one likes to put her paws on my jugular, and I think that’s too much power over my life for one cat.

Honestly I haven’t had to say something in almost a decade

This had better not awaken anything in me.

That’s good to hear. It’s always my honest thoughts, never just fluff.

Especially in the fediverse where it’s a little quiet sometimes I try to leave comments on posts from artists I like or to at least upvote them.

I hope my little compliments make someone’s day and encourage them.

I just never update the machine clock so the cats don’t know, except now we’re sleeping an hour later than they’re used to.

The capitalize on the extra snuggle time though.

I think they call it an overworked TA nap?

Which is quite different than a social medium, where you die and they still try talking to you.

My cat is so confusing.

He lets my wife rub his belly and loves it, but he doesn’t let me. He then follows me around everywhere all day every day, and he always wants to sleep near me.

I play with him a lot, so I think sometimes it’s a “come play with me” and sometimes he thinks I’m going to play with him if I pet his belly, so he gets bitey.

We’ve got some strong Star Trek nonsense brewing in !tenforward@lemmy.world

I don’t care if it catches on, I’m enjoying it here where the people are still awesome.

I skimmed that link and it’s pretty interesting, I’ll have to spend more time on it. I definitely liked the part at the end about God being the observer in this context, so what’s a day to him.

Thanks for that

I don’t see why God must be incompatible with evolution or the Big Bang or really any of science. God created us to be clever, surely that includes using logic and science to learn about the world.

Personally I’m agnostic and I try not to judge people. I do judge people who dismiss science and decide faith alone is better.

Also this doesn’t say anything about the Earth.

Plus you can give a liberal reading of the bible to be:

1. god created the heaven and the earth. God created the heavenly bodies.
2. God created the sky - earths atmosphere and climate
3. God separates oceans - creates continental forms, and plant based life
4. God creates the moon and sun and stars. This one seems out of order to me… maybe just the earth and solar system stabilize. I don’t know how plants exist without the sun, so maybe it’s microbes or something.
5. God creates birds and sea creatures. Maybe birds are dinosaurs.
6. God creates modern land animals, then creates man and woman. That makes sense, mankind is certainly new with only a few hundred thousand years of records before civilization starts.

That doesn’t have to imply the earth is 4000 years old. Even the original wording could be read as eon instead of day.

Yeah, I watch Alone and I’ve seen Outlast. No way are 99% of people going to be able to live like that. Even the contestants who prep and practice and research only last a few weeks in the winter.

You would need a small community, agriculture and to store your food for winter, and livestock for reliable protein. Even then there’s a good chance you get wiped out by diseases unless you’re making soap and prepping food and water safely.

Gas only lasts like 6 months before expiring. It can be stabilized to last a couple of years, but within 3-5 years all existing gas would be unusable (as far as I understand it).

Running a solar system past its ideal life when it holds even 20% of a charge and has lower efficiency is better than nothing.

I certainly hope so. It’s been great seeing PopOS and Linux Mint pushing the bar on what a good linux desktop experience can be.

I’d love to see Linux become a stronger competitor to macos (which is what I’ve used for almost 20 years).

Adium was awesome, that was the golden age of computing and the internet in my opinion.
