At least most of us don’t need to worry about time dilation caused by relatively yet. Have fun with that, space faring developers.

I’m on a similar journey and have started self-hosting as many services as I can. I’ve got Jellyfin (open source Plex alternative), a WebDAV server to replace google drive, a Valheim server, and a git server to host the code. I’m doing this with kubernetes on an old mini PC I picked up for 50 bucks on eBay. I plan to put more mini PCs in my friends’ and family’s homes to build a cloud for us with backups of everything stored in multiple locations. It’d be cool to pass it down to the next generation and have our family memories preserved in a medium we own completely.

Kinda like how they force you to learn about other religions and cultures in history class. It’s confusing for the children

This is my friend Fred. JP likes playing basketball and gardening. I met Morgan 5 years ago and JP has been my best friend ever since.

I’m pretty sure I live in a city between you and Dearborn but I don’t want to say the names and dox us. I just thought it was fun to piece together with the few clues and my familiarity with the area

Dutch Sheets has to be the worst god damn name I’ve ever heard

America has been a meat grinder the whole time and never really represented any of the things we claim it did. All men were created equal but slavery and genocide were fine? If anything we’re closer to that ideal now than we ever have been

I love the attention to detail in the armor. It looks straight from 15th century Germany (well, the area eventually known as Germany)

I’m a strange man and I’d rather be with the bear too

Punctuation is the difference between helping your uncle, Jack, off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse.

The George Floyd protests were outliers and the bigger picture shows that Tennessee is one of the most violent states in the country: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territories_by_violent_crime_rate.

Even if you look at homicides per county, violence in TN is pretty widespread: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territories_by_intentional_homicide_rate

Granted, Washington state’s homicides look fairly evenly distributed there but the worst areas are outside of Seattle. Also, based on your description of TN I’d expect it to look like Illinois where most homicides occurs in specific areas of Chicago

Where did you see that it was a bolt action rifle? I couldn’t find any real details on the weapons used. I’m looking for sensible gun policies to advocate for in the US and a mass shooting with a bolt action refutes my “limit the rate of fire” idea.

I think it’d make more sense if it was a car seat since coffee is a cozy luxury where kids are a lot of work and responsibility. Then it’s more of a lost free time joke than a “wife bad” joke. I still thought the longing look back was silly though

It’s weird that high rate of fire and large magazine capacities aren’t mentioned because that is by far the deadliest aspect of modern firearms. Hand guns have both of those and are responsible for much more violent crime. Muzzle velocity, range, and accuracy describe most hunting rifles. I’d rather someone shoot 1 round of 50 cal per second from a 5 round magazine than 10 rounds of 9mm per second from a 30 round magazine.

I was in Auckland, NZ when there was an active shooter in late July and the whole city was on alert. I was expecting an American style mass shooting based on the number of sirens I heard outside. When I found out it was a disgruntled employee who shot 2 coworkers I thought “Oh, that’s just a Tuesday in America”

Not German enough, needs more unnecessary capital letters

These restaurants keep my cousins’ reclaimed wood furniture business alive.

I heard they’re responsible for a majority of oak trees because of this. They’re just out there absent mindedly sowing seeds

The IDF must really love killing Palestinians. They can’t even stop for a few days. They need an intervention

Meanwhile I’m hauling big chunks of wood I found on the side of the road in the trunk of my Corolla
