40 years, it can’t be that long, I’m only…fuck

Shit, he’s 80? I guess I haven’t seen him in a while. Back when the cable stations with educational names actually had educational programming, and not just reality trash, he was pretty dope.

Check out Mr. Confidently Incorrect over here. An eclipse is exactly the definition you posted, I’m not sure how you could read it so wrong.

The earth (one celestial body) is partially obscuring the sun (another celestial body) relative to the Blue Ghost lander (the designated observer).

It’s an eclipse.

If the sun passes in front of the moon, we’ve got a fucking problem.

I use Voyager and a lack of instance name, either on users or in communities, means it’s the same as mine.

Do you see any that say .world, or just others?

It’s just about what you can see, and who can see you. For maximum content and interaction pick one that defederates, and is defederated by, as few instances as you can find.

Some good ones to try: Lemmy.zip, startrek.website, and lemmy.dbzer0.com, but maybe wait until this blows over to commit to dbzer0 unless you’re cool with losing federation to .world, I understand there is a lot of stuff there.

I’m on my ninth Lemmy account, I ditch them after I think I’ve dropped a few to many PII breadcrumbs, I’ve used all of these multiple times and they’re all good.

I started on .world like you, but now that you’re here there is no reason to let .world mods curate your experience.

Also, you can always maintain multiple different accounts.

Get a shower drain with a removable catch basket, even if it means having tile work done. It will pay dividends in the future lack of plumbing bills.

Unless you rent, then encourage her to brush her hair in the shower.

Yeah, adding in- as a prefix often does mean that, but it can also mean in, on, or into (among others) as a prefix or just part of the core word. And in this case inflammable comes from adding the suffix -able to inflame, a word that already starts with in- in it’s into meaning. And one definition of inflame is “to burst into flames.”

I’m not sure this is correct, but I’ve heard that flammable and inflammable being used as synonyms is recent. Originally, inflammable meant able to burst into flames without a significant ignition source. Like a pile of oily rags or something that could catch fire because it was left out in the sun or just got too warm.

When I’ve traveled internationally, both during his first presidency and recently, people would occasionally ask me what I thought about him. I would tell them and they would often say something like “that’s what everyone I’ve talked to seems to think,” in a somewhat accusatory way (or maybe my embarrassment makes me a little paranoid,) like we are not being honest.

And I basically say what you just said. Sure, there are probably a few trump supporting liars among those you’ve spoken to, but for the most part, trump supporters are incurious people, scared of everything, and not interested in experiencing new things and places.

A trump supporter (he would just say Republican, but there is no difference imo) I work with just took his family on an international vacation for the first time about a month ago. He went to Costa Rica and stayed in a resort. When he got back and people asked him about it he would say “it’s great, the resort had everything you need, there were lots of English TV stations with American programming, tons of ‘normal’ food, and everybody in stores spoke English” (in the little strip of stores right outside the resort designed to give just the right amount of ‘local flavor’ without being scary). That’s about as adventurous as I imagine the average magat to be.

Apparently the term “long pig” for human flesh originated because we taste like pork. I wonder if butchered cuts of human look like pork too.

Whatever helps you sleep at night brah.

About 20% of my passive, after-tax income in retirement comes from Chinese companies.

I own a small slice of private property, in many companies, in China. This morning while I was drinking tea and reading the news, and later when my wife and I went for brunch, and later while we were wandering through local galleries, and now while we’re making dinner, and later while we’re sleeping tonight, we will extract surplus value from Chinese workers to continue to fund our early retirement.

All the links in the world won’t change that.

They’re not even against capitalism. They only pay lip service to anti-capitalism.

I wasn’t aware of that. Are there plans to remove them from places like this memorial, or is it just contemporary uses that are banned?

I don’t disagree, but it is the symbol the honored dead fought under. In context I think it’s fine, but if you’re using it today, that’s different.

In my experience, in context people often do drop the “the Great” and just say Alexander.
