Ha Curb for me as well but Dota 2... Actually, that's kinda fitting.

While I am rooting for authors to make sure they get what they deserve, I feel like there is a bit of a parallel to textbooks here. As an engineer if I learn about statics from a text book and then go use that knowledge to he'll design a bridge that I and my company profit from, the textbook company can't sue. If my textbook has a detailed example for how to build a new bridge across the Tacoma Narrows, and I use all of the same design parameters for a real Tacoma Narrows bridge, that may have much more of a case.
Stonewall Jackson?
Beautifully sad. The value of space exploration on society goes far beyond the the important yet not very far reaching science that we get from missions. NASA was pivotal in the development of more capable computers, many formats of data compression, and many other technological innovations that we take for granted.
My wife is Californian and I am not. I think in n out is a perfectly good burger at a very reasonable price but the line is so long that I never want to go there but still go far too often because my wife is obsessed
Its amazing how international this S is and nobody knows where it came from. Its one of the most crucial social mysteries of the the late 20th century.
This is basically the only thing that's been successful for me. I track my calorie intake with an app and shoot for net 1500 (with exercise).
I set up an RSS feed to pull news from DoC. Its been doing OK. I am on hold for my plan to earn a bunch of chase points until August when I drop below 5/24 anyway...
I have set up a Mastodon account and love the concept but feel like its mostly anonymous twitter. Reddit and Lemmy do a much better job of providing a platform for mostly anonymous interaction than twitter, which has always been successful for its ability to allow regular people to follow/interact with more public people, which Mastodon is mostly lacking. If those more public people move to threads and if the activitypub integration works well, I would be able to use Mastodon to follow the people I follow on Twitter and get rid of twitter while using a privacy honoring instance and that would make the use case for Mastodon much stronger. I understand the concerns with EEE and don't intend to set up a threads account, but it seems like if Mastodon is going to get extinguished by Meta defederating is not really going to impact it much... They can still extend the capability to pull people away.
I guess I didn't specify well. What I meant was if Mastodon is an ad free (or at least let ads and more private) alternative to view Threads posts, along with Mastodon posts wouldn't that reduce the number of threads accounts and reduce their growth? So wouldn't defederating actually help draw more people to threads? Plus how would defederating reduce the E/E/E process that everyone is worried about? I would think it would accelerate it or best case have no impact...
Also I think I may have replied to the wrong comment lol
This is at least in the art style of the Adult Swim show My Adventures with Superman so maybe its a Manga accompaniment? Sorry if this was obvious I just heard of this show yesterday.
