The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Hey look, it's my shark, but she's not completely nude! And she's a TAUR! Any resemblence her clothes have to a certain *other* red-and-white character are completely coincidental... I swear, lol Done by the always amazing @sepisnake.bsky.social!

Barn Owls are one of the species that suffer the most rodenticide poisoning. We’re killing the best weapon we have against rodents w/ our inability to use proper pest control management.

I don't see any big difference what do you mean-?

>recheck the time on hard boiled eggs all the time Soft hard boiled, medium hard boiled, or form hard boiled? I will never judge someone for double checking the boil time on eggs.

Sometimes when you're running a TTRPG, you gotta put in some bait for the players, like an attractive buff woman. Or a charming twinkish man. Or a gender fuckery being of some sort. Or maybe just a big ol dragon, my players really seem to like dragons.

If they think our concerns over free speech is a "farce", that'd make the people pushing these bills un-American, don't you think? #stopageverification #stoponlineidchecks Sign: www.stoponlineidchecks.org Find and call your rep: www.congress.gov/members/find...

"Why do you hate rules-light games" Meanwhile me, reading the 'rules-light' rulebook: "Does the game not have any rules for taking cover? When the combat is short and highly lethal?"

Gonna say it here that yeah I view it as a serious moral failing as well as an intellectual one There been a few shorts I've seen crop up making fun of people who now use it to answer/handle talking to people and I WISH it was as ludicrous and overblown as they make them out to be Legit have seen

Ah yes, because what a house needs is more than two bathrooms for each bedroom (Powder room = bathroom afaik), a master bedroom as large as the garage, and a main room that looks like it'd seriously compromise the structure of the ceiling and roof... Wait where's the front door?

Even IF it was somehow did do what techbros claimed, it doesn't, it still would be an absolute loser of a value proposition. It's like spending $25k worth of wood to produce a $20 dollar product. I think its return is worse, I'm just not bothering to do math at the moment. Quicker it dies, better.

The my choice patreon upgrade from October! AND WITH THAT ALL THE EEVEELUTIONS ARE DONE!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!

Writing posts that trick scraper engagement bots into replying to unhinged pornographic barks is rapidly becoming my favorite social media pastime

Guys, as a ex call center employee, this is fucking DESPERATION BEHAVIOR. Pizza and ice cream once may be an entire year's planned discretionary budget for a team, they do NOT value them enough to provide common comfort. If their doing this? Their not just scared, their TERRIFIED.

Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls. What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.

#SaveSpeech The call campaign is having an effect! The pressure right now is integral, if you are making calls, PLEASE KEEP CALLING. If you havent called yet or took a break, now is a GREAT time to hop on and add to the pressure!

The Serpent that dwarfs the mountains

"What keeps the people of your world BUSY AS FUCK?"

Fair enough. How about this one: Are there any natural landmarks in your world that people are still trying to conquer? For example, reaching the North Pole, climbing Mount Everest, diving the Challenger Deep

Yes! Please use libraries! AFAIK you can even ask them to ship a book you want to the one you're at if another has it in the area!

Tip for the GMs, writers, and worldbuilders out there; Strange events are bound to happen in virtually every setting, but the biggest trick with those events is to never have a clear answer as to *why* it's happened. My favorite example of that is the Green Rain in Stardew Valley. 🧵 #TTRPG

So just in case there was any doubt, trying to force coal back into the conversation is DUMB and a MAGA grift to get one last payout to the coal barons before their industry folds The future is Nuclear, LNG and Battery Storage and dont let these grifters try to tell you otherwise

Them: *accuses me of being a “pro nuclear partisan hack”* Me: I really don’t know why you would think that *waves at username and bio*

As a world builder, is there anything more satisfying than saying "oh shit" as you realise something about your own world. Especially when you realise you accidentally made a bomb

If you had told me in 2021 this would have happened, I would have told you that you were out of your mind.

Een if you're not into Drakkenhim (and why not?) I strongly recommend you go grab the Drakkenheim Campaign Frame from their Daggerheart Kickstarter. The content in there for shaping games is brilliant. Huge huge kudos to @mikerunderwood.bsky.social and team for it.

The more I read of Magic the Gathering lore and world building the more I get annoyed that D&D has failed to adopt a similar world structure for its many settings. Especially with multiple MtG campaign settings actually in D&D.

I love this.

Deeply enjoying this accidental freeze frame of Brennan on the latest episode of Critical Role. "How dare you sir!"

My favorite way to make myself depressed is Soviet time capsule messages www.russiabeyond.com/history/3266...

hier nochmal eine kleine übersicht zur ethisch/moralischen einordnung von diversen ki-modellen

Andrej Karpathy’s take on AI coding agents feels grounded. The industry’s chasing full autonomy when models still hallucinate too much. Agents that churn out a thousand lines of code leave you either blindly trusting them or slogging through reviews. These tools should embrace their fallibility.

Intrigued by this Pixel ad that portrays the iPhone as a delicious-looking soft serve vanilla ice cream cone and then we see a woman talking to Gemini holding the Pixel 10 and this is supposed to be a self-evident improvement over the ice cream.

Könnte die Welt ausschließlich mit erneuerbaren Energien versorgt werden, dann ⬇️ #erneuerbareEnergien first

I don't disagree that coal/fossil-fuel power should be drastically reduced, but you wanna know what'd be even better than covering thousands of square miles in wind turbines? A nuclear reactor the size of a city block

highly recommend giving characters careers your friends have so when you they read your book they can tell you insane things like "there's no such thing as a four point ticket [in software development], ticket points use the fibonacci sequence"

I do love how dumb moon landing shit is because guys, the ruskies admitted to it pretty quick and multiple observatories had telescopes strong enough to verify it that weren't under US or soviet control Also they were pinging with radio lol

Welcome to a world where clicks get money, so everyone whose job it is to write and publish the news have the perverse incentive to write the most inflammatory fucking things they can so they get more clicks

I too believe there is good in people that can be brought out with the right context & signals, but unfortunately the information environment is dominated by shitheads who work to ensure that the only signals that get though encourage people's worst instincts.

"It's not circular investment, it's *ovular* investment!"

Blocking hatemongers is one thing but this trend of using mass block lists to avoid hearing from people who might or might not hold points of view you expect to disagree with is unhealthy imo and hurts the platform. Bluesky was better off with folks like Margaret Mitchell and Giada Pistilli on it.

The fact that the most success SAP had with AI was in the products that humans had already been using spreadsheets and algorithms to automate is pretty telling. Perhaps you guys should be working on relieving the burden to keep the library neat, instead of trying to replace the mural in the entryway
