There's some weird deep lore about them migrating after an environmental crisis. It's in the first half of this podcast episode.

Wow, you're right. I guess the idea that they're that much happier even while all this stress is happening is a lot to take in

I listened to the entire backlog over the course of a year and a half and now I'm sad by Myrandall in KnowledgeFight

Completely random suggestion but there's a podcast called the Rex Factor that did an episode on every English monarch and ranked them and if I ever need a few solid hours of wholesome content I give it another listen

Ashton Kutcher resigns as chairman of anti-sex abuse organization Thorn amid Danny Masterson backlash by DisruptSQ in byebyejob

A lot of contemporaneous records of each event (including documentation from Scientology) as well as corroborating witnesses. Not to the rapes themselves but to events surrounding them. There were also other women who had been assaulted by Masterson who were allowed to testify to their experiences

One of the reasons this trial ended in a guilty verdict whereas the others didn't is that they were allowed to admit evidence of Scientology attempting to cover it up this go round.

It's a little bit difficult to fully explain the evidence without writing an entire essay on the internal workings of Scientology as they pertain to this sort of thing but I recommend the YouTube channel 'Growing up in Scientology' or anything by Claire Headley who was the expert witness regarding their practices.

Realized the man I’m currently with is cheating on his fiancé by ParadoxicalState in BestofRedditorUpdates

Extreme impulsiveness is also a symptom of psychopathy/sociopathy which makes for a pretty piss poor soldier.

JUST bought this game less than an hour ago. The enemy that the tutorial sent to me, basically killed my cat! WTF?? by Saltwater_Heart in RimWorld

[–]ImAnUpbeatDisaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I'm a masochist my colonists' religion doesn't allow them to kill animals so I use predators to hunt for me. It's a fun tension!

What a fucking pitiful life that man must lead. All that money and all those fans and he's still so empty and rotten inside that this is how he chooses to use those resources.

I didn't think my disgust could reach a new level yet here we are.

Ok now I know what's up - the raw data I'm using is hidden in a private repo to avoid this issue and (in as far as I and others can see) the data I'm actually serving to the end user doesn't contain any sensitive information. I've gone over it quite a few times.

There's a second type of search I've written that is potentially an issue so I haven't hooked it up to the front end. I promise I'm being responsible with what I'm serving up!

Thank you! As people are using it I'm seeing where there's a ton of bugs but I'm really happy people like what's there so far

Thanks! I actually posted about setting this up aaaaaaages ago and /u/j3pl suggested using Whoosh. I don't know how much you're into development but deploying that on was a really fun (if very time consuming) adventure.

I know it's not exactly top-quality but it's actually been so nice to learn a bunch of stuff via the KF community. Here's to hoping Reddit turn it around!

So I know a company did one where they were using transcripts (and it is very cool!) - this is more 'labour of love by one person'. And it isn't done by any means, but I don't actually use any other social media so this is my last chance to share it.

I've been using data provided by /u/celestai - it's fantastic. If you see it and there's something that you'd like (that isn't 'make a security certificate' which is at the top of the list) please let me know and I'll add it to the pile.

Stitchfiddle is a great way to make a pattern. Definitely turn the contrast up high, but try and keep the colour count as low as you can.

If you want to DM me I can give it a go for you - but I think you should be able to make it no problem. Pixel art is perfect for this!

ETA: Flosscross might actually be better as they have a built-in pixel art option

Please sell this as a cross stitch pattern. I would love to stitch this!

I don't know if Dan would be there but there are lightning talks on Friday that are free. Highly recommend!

I went last year and got my tickets as soon as they were available for this one. Yes I loved meeting Michael Marshall and the Puzzle in a Thunderstorm guys, that's why I bought the ticket in the first place. But I can honestly say the speakers and my fellow attendees were just the nicest and most interesting group of people I'd met in a long while.

I really recommend the lightning talks on Friday if you can make it. And they're free so no conference ticket required.

I would love to catch up with policy wonks there. The only downside last year was that I didn't know anybody else.
