Indeed. I tend to think of humanism as atheism with a moral framework.

Suspect OP has a different question they’re really trying to ask.

I think the Spam thing is part of Korean food culture with their “army stew”, made from ramen, spam, baked beans, kimchi, cheese and such.

Like the @a.gup.pe ones? They are kind of autoboost bots, but they do have communities behind them and it’s annoying when people treat them like hashtags.

But I’d not use the term bots. They’re more like old-fashioned email reflectors: a message goes in, and it then gets sent to everyone on the list.

Hard agree. Mindsets stuck in 2005 or before when cool and useful stuff was, just, free online. We were such summer children then.

Anyone still like that obviously shouldn’t be in charge of anything sharp or dangerous…

Anyone remember websites and RSS? Those were the days.

Why does everything have to get shovelled into someone’s walled garden…

(Speaking about updates and notifications here, not discussions.)

Your personal preference applied to others would sure make all those image-specific communities a bit quiet… 🤔

“Dead” as in recent but crickets, or as in 2 years old but quiet?

If the former, fill yer boots and go wild. If the latter, then you’re necrobumping and have a circle of hell with your name on it.

I don’t make the rules…

I really tried with that book, after a similar recommendation on pigboy’s site years ago - and it does have some useful techniques and ideas - but I just couldn’t get past her magical thinking proselytism. Every other paragraph, or so it seemed at the time.

Without wishing to put everyone off it: her “why” is (demonstrably and unequivocally) bollocks, but her “how” is good.

It’s quite BASIC, really…

By stores do you mean Amazon Fresh? Definitely.

I thought it was interesting it wasn’t mentioned in the comparison to similar historical false claims.

That’s very much what the Opinion section in the Guardian is all about: an all comers free-for-all written by anyone who cares to submit a piece. Generally unrelated their news journalism and general mission/ideology.

I see why they do it: opposing views and so on. But in the current society of headlines are everything, knee jerk reactions, polarisation and the idea of a middle ground being treason, etc, we get “Why are the Guardian saying x?!” 🤷‍♂️

I have a 2015 Shield. Best device I’ve ever had, and haven’t ever had to factory reset it.

My main recommendation - in case it applies to you - is to not run any server software on it (eg. Plex). It’s a solid client device, but has never had what it takes to run server services.

I think it has plenty of life left in it, so a factory reset might be worthwhile. Also note that the drive in yours may be well past its best.

The US$75 Lifetime price has traditionally been their Black Friday deal, regardless of the usual price.

Anyone’s guess if that deal will still be a thing, given their recent behaviour, though.

Nice. :)

But next you’ll be saying you don’t know how to use the 3 seashells…

They’re designed to deliver the maximum amount of flavour in ~20 seconds.

So: bag first, then just-boiled water. Wait/steep for 20-60 seconds, fish out the bag with a teaspoon and squeeze against the cup, and then milk.
