I saw Haitian migrants eating Bigfoot’s pets!

… Ranlar slowly rises from his wheelchair before collapsing under his own weight as his atrophied legs give out. Your party must now find a way to move him away from the orcs without using his newly healed legs, perhaps on a nearby chair with wheels.

Yeah, this feels like we are seeing an otherwise normal person in an unfortunate situation waiting at the bus stop to crazy town.

Weird that all the vaccines that we have for other diseases don’t seem to help against West Nile, which we don’t have a vaccine against. It’s almost like vaccines are extremely targeted against particular viruses and not a broad-spectrum disinfectant. If only he had been injecting bleach, he certainly wouldn’t be in the hospital for West Nile today.

Why stop there? I might be misremembering, but I think my war panda could throw lightning bolts at our foes

I just want to hear that intro song with the sailors again. I also think it would be kind of fun to play on iPad.

I hate defending the guy, but let’s not make shit up. He’s trying to make a point about the cost of inflation on groceries

Trump began by highlighting inflation and hitting Harris on the cost of grocery prices as he stood between two tables full of food store items such as cereal, deli meat, milk, eggs, baby formula and bread with a sign saying, "Price Increases since Kamala Harris took office."

I think you can just ask most general purpose models to make a logo. I literally just asked Google Gemini “Create a logo for my starfinder company” and it created some reasonably good logos

I took it to be “100% of whatever gets removed in making it pulp free”

A BLT is a sandwich with bacon lettuce tomato (and mayo if you like). You get the saltiness from the bacon.

I’m not sure if I’d put tomato on what I’d call a biscuit though. https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/southern-biscuits-recipe-2041990. I’m curious about what you have in mind.

If you have a fresh tomato, it’s hard to beat a BLT to showcase the freshness of the tomato. Aside from just eating it sliced with a pinch of sea salt, of course.

 

I know there was an avalanche of car manufacturers announcing the switch to NACS, but it looks like a lot of them are just giving drivers access to Tesla via a CCS adapter initially.

Has anyone announced a non-Tesla NACS native car yet?

Surface noise (lemmy.world)

I have an older turntable, Philips GE 212 form the 70’s, that I got from a relative. I’ve had to do some modest repairs so far, and I’m still getting more surface noise than I think I should be hearing. Just an occasional pop every once in a while. My most recent project was replacing the needle I came with (AT DR300e) with a newer cartridge (AT VMN95e). I thought that was going to be then end of it. It does sound very good, a lot of depth, but I still get the pops.

I have a little record brush, and I don’t see any apparent dust. The air is pretty dry because it’s cold here and my heat is running.

I’m worried that there might be something wrong with how the cartridge is connected to the head shell, because it has these flimsy connectors that don’t hold tight anymore after 40+ years. The Philips 212 has a distinctive head shell, and I can’t find replacement wires. I wouldn’t be opposed to replacing the head shell next, if it’s necessary.
