It's everywhere. Why not just eat it instead of searching for veggies and meat which are more difficult to have?

Hello, I would like to say a few words at my mom's funeral service. I did not do so at my dads funeral because I did not think I could even make it through my first sentence before becoming a puddle on the floor. For those of you who had to do this, was it easier than you thought, or are there any tricks to try and hold it together? I am wondering if once I get up there, instinct will kick in and it won't be a problem. Sorry if I don't reply to what you have to say, but I will read all advice and am appreciative of it.

I've got this horrible neighbour upstairs who might possibly be the loudest person in the western hemisphere. Walking around in heels for hours at a time, phone rings so loud that it's more effective at waking me up than my alarm, constantly screeching furniture around all day everyday, blasting the same annoying movie at random times, and slamming doors every 15 minutes.

The apartment isn't even that bad for noise seperation, I never hear the neighbours beside me or the ones under me. This woman is just annoying and I've gone upstairs before to tell her to stop blasting music at midnight in the middle of the week, she treated me like I was the maniac for having the audacity to knock on her door.

As I'm laying in bed last night after getting woken up and hoping today is the day she drops dead, I was wondering why she even needs to close doors. When I lived alone I don't think I ever closed doors, maybe the bathroom on occasion but this old woman lives by herself with no pets yet she's constantly slamming doors. Do people normally close doors often when they live alone?

According to Google maps: there's no definite border (indicated by dashed lines) between the Kashmir region (located near both India & Pakistan) in which India considers the entire region as theirs but both China & Pakistan argue against India's claim.

I’ll go first. Franz Marc. I particularly like “Blaues Pferd I”. I love me some German expressionism.

Title...

I'm kinda disgusted with Microsoft and Github has been declining into an AI-Centric hellhole, to the point my recommendations are almost exclusively AI related... And let's not forget, the new Copilot Training enabled by default (which honestly, how do you get rid of this thing, VSCode also feels intrusive with AI-First bullshittery)

I've been wondering about moving to Gitlab but.... "Finally, AI for the entire software lifecycle." is literally plastered in the landing page. So.. that feels like a no-go.

Codeberg is very decent, it's based on Forgejo so ActivityPub is also a thing (but is cross-instance contributions possible?) but it's exclusive for Source-Available and Free Projects, which, by all means, totally fine! Half of my "active" projects are for free, and are open source (does that make them FOSS even though I'm basically the only dev?)

And last but not least, Forgejo and Gitlab themselves are self-hostable, but...how expensive (price and storage) would it be to self host a Git Forge??

And maybe I'm being narrow-sighted... For FOSS projects in Github, sadly I'll have no choice but to contribute there, if that's the only place where the project resides, same for Gitlab, and Codeberg* (unless cross-instance contrib is a thing)

For now, I'm thinking of moving FOSS/OSS projects to Codeberg, but for personal projects? What are some good options?

Blend two universes... TV, movie, comic, whatever... What would you like to see?

Sandwich is a flexible concept. I will not argue with your sandwich. I hope you won't either while anyone is looking

Surprisingly, it’s been 1.5 years since this was last asked.

I pick Peregrine Falcon. They thrive all across the globe, they’re fast as fuck when they’re in a dive, they’re the cutest killers, but they’re not at the top of the pecking order, which means a lust for life.

It's a country that's overlooked since UAE has skyscrapers or high rises while Oman doesn't have that (since their focus is more on culture and maintaining the "old Arabia" look & vibe whilst being rich in their own way). I mean, you can look up travel content about the UAE and there's tons of results while for Oman the amount of travel content is kind of sparse in comparison even though people do go there.

I haven't had to think about ads in years with ublock origin, but have been forced to use Chrome for some tasks recently. What's a good alternative?

Argentina is going through difficult times (especially with the Peso being bad as it’s very volatile) since most Argentinians would prefer USD over the Peso either through savings or investment.

That’s because the dollar is the best bet not only for savings, but for making a living (if they can manage to get remote work). The thing is, how did Argentina end up in this situation in the first place?
