Well, that makes much more sense.

The conservative influencer organized the group that was in support of ICE, that got chased off / beaten up by the anti-ICE demonstrators.

That makes it… not a horrific situation? What?

What is link aggregation? Just combining network connections of a cloud? What does that have to do with lemmy?

It’s specifically a social media platform like Reddit (where people share links to media and users discuss it via the comments, typically). This is as opposed to (for example) microblogging, like Twitter (Mastodon on the fediverse).

Why would there by different servers in the first place doesn’t that make the social media smaller for everyone?

All of the various lemmy servers can interact with each other. You can use your lemmy.world account to interact with communities on other lemmy servers (aka Instances).

What is an instance?

A specific server running whatever Fediverse software. lemmy.world is a lemmy instance.

Isn’t the point of a federalized social media to be better connected?

Yes, and it is!

Plot twist: The code is written in Whitespace

My favorite one-shot that I’ve ever ran involved the PCs being hired by a city to go kill some kobolds. The kobolds had taken over their mine, had fortified the place, and were violently rejecting any attempts to make them leave.

When the PCs arrive, it’s basically as described: The mine is overrun with kobolds, who have erected makeshift barricades and are armed with crossbows.

In actuality, the city had hired the kobolds to mine the ore for them, but then refused to pay them after taking delivery. It’s a labor dispute, and the PCs had been hired to kill them because nobody would question some adventurers killing some kobolds. The players discovered this and were upset enough about being lied to that they joined the kobolds’ side and basically acted as the (very well-armed and aggressive) union reps, negotiating better pay and more favorable terms for them. Was a great time.

Stopping it is, in fact, very easy. Simply unplug the servers, that’s all it takes.

Honestly, if they made it a requirement that it has to be 100% clean energy, this could actually be a net positive, but of course they won’t because it’s Trump and he’s got a boner for coal and oil.

Dependent on your hard drive’s capacity (and free space), you could make a separate partition and install Linux to that, while leaving your existing partition and files untouched. Then you’ll be able to access them from the newly installed Linux partition, can move over what ever you need, then remove the Windows partition once you’re done.

But all of these things are already happening. Why are you still a Windows user if these are your lines in the sand? (Did you mis-read the assignment?)

Chicken tikka masala, but I feel like I’m cheating, because we just went shopping earlier today and picked up everything we needed to make an alarmingly large batch.

Yeah, I’m a single-issue voter until further notice and this is my single issue.

You know… Lasagna is sauce, cheese and vegetables or meat on a dough base.

Lasagna is a pizza.

I’m not familiar with nor am I equipped to comment on the natalist PoV, but I will comment on your argument:

Gun violence isn’t even in the top 10 leading causes of death in the US. You’re more likely to die in an auto accident or to cancer or heart disease or diabetes or a number of other things than due to gun violence. If you’re trying to present a serious argument here, you might want to consider actual statistics.

I only started eating spicy food regularly maybe 10 years ago (starting with spicy noodles, actually), and at first it was a harrowing experience. Now, I’m much more tolerant to it and things that were at first inedible don’t taste particularly hot at all anymore. My wife got me a variety of dried chili flakes for Christmas which include Trinidad scorpion and Carolina reaper and they’re certainly hot, but tolerable. I think they’d have about killed me 5-10 years ago.

We have a local wings place that has a wing sauce they simply call ‘Diablo’, and every time I order it I’m sitting here crying while I eat them thinking, “Why do I keep doing this to myself?”, but after they’re gone I just want more. It’s weirdly addictive.

If she’s not, consider a more adventurous spouse! …or get her to accept the offer, too.

Either way, I’m in. Wouldn’t even need the life-extending part.

Also Mexico and- you know what, why not just make it a blanket resolution for everywhere, given he’s not supposed to be doing it anyway?

Clearly they’re thinking of The Crow.
