It's one banana, Michael. What could it cost? $10?

It's mind-blowing how few of these articles mention anything about where people left reddit/Twitter to go to.

I've basically made the switch 100%, and I'm finding myself a lot more active on here so far. Everything I've posted in any given community has resulted in a lot more friendly discussion here than it tended to on Reddit... honestly, so far this feels a lot better lol.

Ah, yes, the traditional Latin spelling: Tvvix.

The fediverse is your oyster!

It is a bit lengthy but well worth a watch

This was how I knew it was a Technology Connections video before I clicked haha. His stuff is always so informative and interesting.

Here's a good explainer:

What is tidal locking? https://phys.org/news/2015-11-tidal.html

Basically, the moon acted like a spinning (unbalanced) wheel, and eventually stopped with the "heavy" side pointing "down" towards Earth. I.e. think of the moon as orbiting Earth with the heavy side staying pointed at Earth.

I believe it is for posts specific to communities on your instance (server), which in your case is lemmy.world.

Oxidation (and other processes) do affect coffee flavor, and grinding it up increases surface area / exposure to oxygen, speeding that up. Putting it in the fridge seems to also worsen flavor, but the freezer seems to be pretty reliable. Here's a nice video discussing this by a weird coffee person (James Hoffmann): Should you freeze coffee beans?

Also, KGLW, nice!

I'm running through the beginner's box in Foundry VTT. I picked it up on a Humble Bundle sale, and it's my group's first exposure to the system after 5e. I'm absolutely astonished with how easy the box is to run, how well polished the content is, and how awesome the system is to play and GM in.

Thanks for this explanation!

handy in hiding the crimes I committed

LOL. I think we all need some crime-hiding metal on our various builds. Another plug for the classic exchange:

"Just put the bad side against the wall."

"I don't have that many walls in my house."

Yeah, I never had good luck with jerboa... it worked sometimes, but I was mostly using liftoff (which is pretty good, in my opinion).

Agreed on that count - I like that UI consistency is an option for those who prefer it.

...Bortus?

LOL. I didn't immediately get this one. Well done.

Wewdads. I was worried for a minute there--I need my wholesome(ish) forum of dads.

Thanks! I definitely still feel like a novice, too. It's definitely more about the process and making stuff that's "mine" than getting it perfect. I actually have a few (minor) screwups on this one that I'll always notice, but whatever. It beats Ikea!

Not to actually throw shade at Ikea though... some of their stuff is a great deal haha.

Yeah, infants are cute and I loved my kid when he was that age, but I unequivocally prefer the toddler stage. He's a person now. I think the 6- to 8-month range was when he started to get more interesting. All of our friends who are parents seem to have similar feelings. That said, there are a ton of special "firsts" that you can look forward to, and they're pretty enjoyable.

More info from a different article that provides context:

Bypassing Congress with emergency determinations for arms sales is an unusual step that has in the past met resistance from lawmakers, who normally have a period of time to weigh in on proposed weapons transfers and, in some cases, block them.

In May 2019, then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo made an emergency determination for an $8.1 billion sale of weapons to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Jordan after it became clear that the Trump administration would have trouble overcoming lawmakers’ concerns about the Saudi and UAE-led war in Yemen.

Pompeo came under heavy criticism for the move, which some believed may have violated the law because many of the weapons involved had yet to be built and could not be delivered urgently. But he was cleared of any wrongdoing after an internal investigation.

At least four administrations have used the authority since 1979. President George H.W. Bush’s administration used it during the Gulf War to get arms quickly to Saudi Arabia.

As others pointed out, this appears to only apply to arms sales, not for aid packages as in the case of Ukraine.
