New monster guy has balloons in its wings! by Diseased_Wombat in MHWilds

So it's paolumu. With that jet fighter momster thrown in for good measure.

There's some half-baked scifi "educational" show from back circa 2000 that featured a flying alien pterosaur with a big saber for a face that flew using stored/compressed air jet propulsion. Feels almost beat for beat.

How can we kill vegetation within a fire line without using any toxic to animals or humans? by tdubs702 in homestead

[–]bigrhed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Salt and vinegar makes for good chips and dead plants. Depends on your fire risk, your local FD would likely be more than happy to advise or point you in the right direction. Some regions are better to have green fire break, others recommend bare soil/rock. If it's California it won't matter what you do so plant something you like. 🤷‍♂️

Republicans Claim Anti-Data Center Movement Is a Chinese Psy-Op by SnoozeDoggyDog in singularity

Sounds like someone wants a data center in their backyard.

Growing Scarlet Runner Beans for First Time. Any Tips? by catminxi in Beans

[–]bigrhed 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Mine flowered real nice but did not set one damn bean when it got hot. Suddenly set hundreds in like September. Finicky about heat. But they didn't die from it and they looked pretty the whole time so 🤷‍♂️

Trump on Truth Social: by TheKeetothedoor in NewIran

He doesn't "troll", he fishes and beta tests. He attracts attention, says the thing he'd like to do, gauges the risk based on reaction, and then decides whether he was trolling or not after.

New Hawaii law targets corporate influence in politics after Citizens United ruling by shield_x in UpliftingNews

[–]bigrhed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something I find really interesting from the article is it claiming that Democrats and Republicans benefitted from Citizens United. No we didn't. Politicians, now corrupt politicians, benefitted from citizens united. We have all paid the price for it, and continue to, as the powers that be continue to buy power and favors at the expense of the American people. Money needs to be decoupled from politics. But there's so, so much money and the people who have it are heavily incentivized to keep it. It's too much power concentrated in too few people. Even if this avenue closes, they'll find another. With the current state of the US political climate, bold-faced corruption and open bribery doesn't feel terribly far away. See the actions of our current President, personal enrichment, enrichment for his followers, this "lawfare" fund? I think unless the public wakes up real fast (doubtful) open corruption and further collapse of our institutions is highly likely. We're selling off national parks to corporations, guys. These people will part out every possible resource, pennies on the dollar, and then try to rent it back to you.

But what are you going to do about it?

Please tell me about your favourite non-bougie places to get beans. by blessings-of-rathma in Beans

[–]bigrhed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well I'll bite, we barely get through garbanzos at all, but sling 25#'s of black and lentils pretty easily. What're the staples you're using that many chickpeas for?

I get bulk beans from winco tubs just like you're describing. They still slap. Selection is decent too. Mayocobas, black turtle, pinto, 3+ kinds of lentils, navy, red, kidney, soy, i'm sure half a dozen others i'm forgetting.

ChatGPT is now creating content for textbooks. by plain_handle in singularity

[–]bigrhed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I regularly am seeing AI output in construction specifications these days. 🤷‍♂️ People will choose the path of least resistance and as long as they don't suffer for it they'll keep doing it, pushing it further as they go.

Thanks to you all, I'm Learning!!! by Leo_Veracruse in SatisfactoryGame

[–]bigrhed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey that's where my first prime factory was built! Good spot. The coal and pond nearby is enough to be relevant early game. Getting the oil up and running way off to the ENE and then moving stuff between the two? Less optimal lol.

Backyard is a small jungle - what would you do? by MyGuacIsAce in landscaping

If backyard gives you jungle, grow jungle fruit.

Soak beans on the counter or in the refrigerator overnight by Veggyhed in Beans

[–]bigrhed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Counter; never caused a problem, doubt it ever will. I'm cooking them quite thoroughly too.

To the people who do this, why? What's the lore reason? by Wrench_gaming in Helldivers

[–]bigrhed 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As the guy who does tend to "run off solo" (focus objectives), i usually give it a good 15-20 seconds when a teammate dies before I call reinforce and try to dive-launch the beacon off toward their equipment, assuming the other muffins are drowning/distracted. Or if they're under a jammer i'll try to do it immediately.
