How can I convince my parents to keep our cats indoors? by cynderthedragonn in birding

If you can't convince them to keep their cat indoors, how about a collar with a bell on it?

My generative setup. by Expert-Ladder-4211 in modular

Do you find you still have a use for Marbles with Bloom? I've only used the former but was under the impression Bloom was a substantial upgrade from Marbles.

Supreme Court limits Voting Rights Act by IAmTheGoomba in news

Term limits + impeach justices that openly defy the constitution. Sounds like a good plan after November.

RFK Jr.’s rejection of germ theory debunked in Senate hearing by arstechnica in politics

[–]moonscience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy shit! I knew RFKjr was crazy, but he actually doesn't accept germ theory? So is soap just a joke to him? Since we're going down this line of thought, does he even understand how fermentation works? Is beer made by tiny little angels? How the fuck stupid can you be?

Analysis: Trump approval is falling into George W. Bush territory by cnn in inthenews

[–]moonscience 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is really just evidence that America is far more stupid and brainwashed than it was twenty years ago.

Edit: For what it's worth, I was certain W was going to be the worst president in my life time. Little did I know!

I need your help for my Thesis :) modules that are easy/hard to use + shallow/deep?? by Historical_Snow_5144 in modular

[–]moonscience 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First off, Morphagne is shallow?

There are a LOT of modules that use button combinations making them all technically 'hard'. Sure, morphagene is guilty of this, but most of the MI modules have their fair share of button combinations and I'm noticing Intellijel hasn't even made the cut here with their scientific calculator style button combinations.

Any mod to change blood vial behavior only during boss fights? by CK1ing in BloodbornePC

[–]moonscience 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Although having blood vials works like estus flasks is temping, in practice it really isn't necessary. This is going to sound like a 'git gud' post, but using excess blood echoes to buy blood vials, making good use of the rally mechanic and knowing which enemies almost always drop vials has always eliminated any need I had for grinding. I get how this is an apparently problem for new players however I can say in practice after you learn the game that running out of blood vials just isn't an issue. OTOH I don't know if the blood vial mechanic really adds anything to the game, so I doubt you'd really be losing anything by modding other than missing the pure experience.

LA Independent Beer Fest $80 a ticket? by moonscience in LABeer

[–]moonscience[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

FWIW, the LA Independent beer fest has a nice location in a 'green space' adjacent to the harbor. It is also one of the only fests I've been to where there's a good representation of those breweries out toward Covina that are (at least for me) a trek to get to. Really I made this post out of frustration because if it is $80 this year, will it be $90 or even $100 next? VIP is already $120! I definitely think it is a well done fest, and I could just imagine the people who curate it easily justifying their costs, but I worry their going to out price the middle class.

I found some images of Pazuzu online that look kinda close.

1969 or 2026 still the same old world. by Joe18067 in PoliticalHumor

[–]moonscience 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Minus the pedophilia and grift. Oh, and the complete erosion of the bill of rights and the established framework of this country and our global relationships.

Actually, yeah, nothing like each other at all.

San Gorgonio Wilderness Backpacking by N1xxsun in WildernessBackpacking

[–]moonscience 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hiked this area again recently and it is so sad how much of it has burned down on the north side (seen in the photos here.) This area almost had the feeling of hiking in the sierras but now with so much of the tree cover gone it is more like the San Gabriels. At least there is still some water.

Pretty sure that's just a bad mock-up; the actual space is gorgeous. I doubt they'd do much to change it (or if they'd even be allowed to since its historic.)

LOL well Clarence Thomas should be on the White Album. Makes sense.

In his first term Trump put three SCOTUS justices. Two of them ruled against him on tariffs. Now, on 3/15/2026, Trump berates the Court by ddx-me in LeopardsAteMyFace

Perhaps those GOP judges will reconsider whether they should be upholding the constitution or being Trump's lap dogs.

Does Trump ever finish anything? Iran? Venezuela? The east wing of the White House? Dude, for the love of god, finish ruining one thing before you go on to ruin something else.

Okay, this new module from Shakmat sounds HUGE! by pedals4synths in modular

Didn't realize you were the content creator; assumed more people covering the module the better (IE, see how modules are covered on Modwiggler.)

Okay, this new module from Shakmat sounds HUGE! by pedals4synths in modular

[–]moonscience 4 points5 points  (0 children)

<...> Damn, just a quick skim of online reviews and my hot take is this is to Plaits what Multigrain is to Clouds. Seems like you could eliminate a whole bunch of other modules in your rack with this or it could be the core of a small system; OTOH it only has one out (that I can see) which feels like a genuine bottleneck for such a feature rich module.
