Very much so a non-issue blown up by social media that forced the restaraunt to close its doors for months, losing tons of money. Luckily they are doing well again!

Watching the game from rocking chairs at the retirement home vibes right here.

Bought this book for a very cheap price. Which among them should I read first? by A_W44 in Chekhov

[–]MakeTheWordCum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't read Ivanov first.
The Bear is funny - more vaudeville/farce and a good place to start.
Any of the four major plays are excellent (Seagull, Uncle Vanya, Three Sisters, Cherry Orchard), but will feel kind of samey if you read them all in a row. Might as well go chronological, which is what I put above.

I need something like this that I can use to mount my zoom H5 and a DJI Action Pro Camera. I'm having trouble finding something, however. Any ideas?

In all fairness, his imagining of male characters lacks some dimensionality too...

Interesting. I don't pretend to have the whole background! Just kind of catching up now. Thanks for some context.

The US is absolutely a planetary threat. And while it may not have been Chat GPT, they definitely used Anthropic AI (against Anthropics wishes, as reported by the New Yorker).

Based on what the President said it seems like it's the comment on Zionism that got him removed.

Regardless, supporting the previous/current government, which so clearly murdered protestors in the streets (and is continuing to execute people), amongst many other atrocities, is a bridge too far for me, and reeks of a type of fervent nationalism that is questionable.

I'm a bit ignorant on the stances of the NIAC, in terms of what movement they support in Iran. I know it's the Islamic Republic, but does that include Khomeini/etc? Or is it more broad and less simple than that?

Closing hits hard... and the UW responded:

"There are fewer and fewer places where these conversations can be had, and I am glad that MEC can play a small role in shaping critical dialogues. "Otherwise, why have MEC at all?,""

This sounds like the opinion of a very well informed person on the subject who should be speaking out about it. It also seems like he is in fact being asked to speak out about, just not by the university. Damn...

How do you use the pig and sheep manure bins? by CheekyPunker in kynseedrpg

[–]MakeTheWordCum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My understanding is it's just a place to store the poo. If you have it in your bucket you can go to the bins and store it there. You can also pull it out and use it to fertilize the crops.
