Anything within a sealed loop such as blood or brain fluid shouldn't be boiling. Your body is pretty good at keeping that stuff inside as long as you don't have any major cuts or something. That said, I don't think even a minor cut suffered in the vacuum could clot or scab without oxygen.

All of the air in any of your orifices would rapidly get sucked out (including from one's butt), and pretty much any liquids exposed to the resulting vacuum would boil. Negative pressure within the body means more room-temp boiling liquids, which then creates more air to get sucked out! It's a feedback loop!

A space-exposed corpse would likely end up quite dehydrated for the above reason.

I'd also consider myself pretty tech-savvy, but that came from plenty of mistakes growing up including putting malware on the family computer at least twice (mostly ads for these "Pokemon MMOs" back in the mid aughts that were too enticing for my kid brain to refuse ๐Ÿ˜…).

It's very easy for me to forget how much of an outlier my tech experience is among most folks around my age. I had an acquaintance in the first year of college I helped by giving essay advice, and was very surprised to see that the only thing they really knew how to do was basic use of apps on their iPhone. They got a laptop for school, but no computer experience, no keyboard typing experience, and even just the iPhone Settings app was a scary place to be avoided for the most part. To this person, Microsoft Word was a new thing they had to learn on top of everything else. In college. It was also in the South so I don't know if I should be that surprised unfortunately.

Regardless, it was pretty wild to me, but a very real reminder that not everyone has access to the same resources education, and/or experience to draw on.

Aren't there still massive issues with the Colorado River running dry? Hopefully they're not too dependant on that water source for their chips

I think they'll get away with it because they're deliberately marketing it the way so many similar movies are managed: formulaically for kids, but with some actors and writing meant to give 'the adults' something to watch too. Unfortunately, 'the adults' are almost always assumed to have only a passing familiarity with the subject material, and I have a feeling they're going to write the 'for the adults in the room' jokes with that assumption in mind.

It feels like it's being written on an outdated manual, ignoring the fact that there's a very sizable core audience of 20 and 30-somethings they could tap into. My guess is that everything they tried only tested well with children in focus groups, since apparently they were dead-set on a live-action format from the very beginning. I hate to be so cynical, but it's possible they decided to go all-in on kids because they can hit the appeal without worrying as much on the production standards.

I guess, in the same vein that some people consider collecting anything a hobby. Personally, I'd rather be shown the highlights of someone's stamp collection than Funkopop collection and I know nothing about stamps

Given that microtransactions exist on bedrock edition... I'm guessing not

Driving is more fun when there are more viable alternatives. I don't like driving, but it's my only real choice where I live so I do it begrudgingly, and you have to share the road with me. Think of all the people who don't want to drive (on account of it being dangerous, costly and/or mentally taxing) suddenly not being in cars, and how much traffic that would free up for you to zip around instead!

Also, calling a public service "bankrupt" is really weird to me. How many tax dollars are we spending on public highways and freeways again? Do suburbs, which are designed to be car-dependent, provide a net gain or net cost in tax revenue to cities?

In principle, I get the idea: that you can't have someone else steal something for you and then get off the hook because you weren't the one who stole it. That said, I feel like the laws should be written in a way that precludes someone being charged with both for the same offense, or in a way that delegates the fault such that "taking" and "receiving" add up to the consequences of a single theft charge.

Of course, the US is a Prison State so it's unlikely one wasn't added simply to pad out sentence lengths or leverage plea deals.

It's for kids, and maybe their parents who are only vaguely familiar with the source material. If you reframe the trailer by the amount of hype it would generate in a 6-14 year old who likes Minecraft (the same kind of kid who maybe grew up watching questionable Minecraft content on YouTube Kids unsupervised), it seems to fit the bill. Funny llama making funny face while a thing happens! How funny!

I have a sibling who is under 10 years old who is probably going to love this movie and demand to see it once it pops up on an ad (or gets directly recommended by the algorithm due to the amount of views it currently has).

"The vibe" is more or less wallowing in the feeling of not being able to get a partner, from a feminine perspective and usually in a cutesy "haha I can't socialize and my life is a mess" way. This stands in contrast with many/most male incel communities, which tend to promote resentment and blaming a celibate status on everything but oneself (or pathologically blaming it on an immutable characteristic like one's height or canthal tilt). There is a degree of toxic internalization that can occur either way, but I like to think the humorous nature intended by the posts is a way to vent out the feelings and riff on them with others.

The transfem nature which carries over from the Blahaj instance dovetails with the community's theme, since it is rather difficult for most trans women or similar folks to get into relationships, on account of various circumstances relating to transitioning as an AMAB individual. There are the matters of physical appearance which is a facet of the genetic lottery, plus the social aspects of dating while trans. The dating pool for most trans people is, uh, quite a bit smaller, and shrinks further still when looking for medium/long term partners mainly due to stigma associated with dating trans people (especially to cis men being in a relationship with trans women, and especially if one is visibly trans to the general population, think the whole "is it gay" discourse).

So basically, femcelmemes is about acknowledging these challenges and playfully lamenting the celibate condition they bolster, while also allowing (trans)fems to embrace the girly aesthetic and mode of interaction while doing so. It's a gender-affirming way to cope with the situation, so provides some utility despite the generally self-deprecating nature of the posts made there. One also doesn't even have to be celibate (or even trans) to understand and find amusement in this struggle; you can just kind of vibe with the idea of defiantly girlbossing your way through a depressing time of life.

I hope that helps explain somewhat. I'm maybe not the best spokesperson but I've been following the community for a while at this point. If you have any follow up questions I'd be happy to try and provide my best understanding of things.

 

I use Firefox whenever I can.

On first install of the browser I usually end up following a hardening guide which includes stuff like blocking cross site cookies, setting a few things in about:config to disable Pocket/etc, and installing uBlock Origin. I've taken what I consider a relatively balanced approach, I don't use anything like noScript, uMatrix, etc that ultimately just cost a lot of time fiddling to get the 10th website of the week working.

I've been more or less fine browsing the web this way for years, but around the start of 2024 I've started seeing way more "Access Denied" pages than I used to. I think part of it is Cloudflare or similar, but I don't know exactly what's changed or what's triggering it to occur.

It usually goes away and I can re access the site in 10-30 minutes as usual, but I've had it occur in really weird instances, such as trying to change my Minecraft skin and getting blocked by the website. The server block often goes away immediately if I switch my user agent, so I know that it has something to do with how I've got everything set up.

Not sure what anyone else's experience with this has been. I'd like to hear some of your thoughts and tips

To summarize for anyone who would rather not watch the video, there are always exactly 4 "events" in a wildwood instance. While any specific event is randomly selected, their locations are always around the far North, South, East, and West of the area. If you can find two events, especially if they're perfectly horizontal or vertical from each other, it becomes much easier to find a third and possibly fourth. After you find the first, all you have to do is look for the remaining spots of the 'diamond', following wisp trails to make an educated guess.

I thought this was pretty useful information, especially if you're trying to maximize wisp collection to juice your maps or find more nameless creatures to complete quests.

 

Hi everyone!

I decided to create this sub as an alternative to other Path of Exile discussion boards on Lemmy, since most of them were pretty dead (not that another sub on another instance will fix that, but why not ok?) There was also a weirdly long propagation time for posts of mine to show up on the other instance's board, so I'm hoping that won't be as much of an issue with this one here.

For now I've created the sub icon (and I guess this welcome message too).

Any questions about the game are welcome! I'm not exactly an expert or anything but I've gotten through most non-uber endgame content and am part of a guild that is also very knowledgeable about the game.

Thanks for reading!
