Fucking riot over that haha, everyone could use the longer lunch.
It's 20 bucks, if you haven't got it and the price is a barrier message me and I'll cover you lmao.
Free would probably be ideal, but realistically people don't get it because they're lazy and don't think of the flu as serious (which for most people, it isn't). It's an education problem, hence the higher rates with oldies.
I'm honestly shocked more jobs don't pay for people to go get it. 1 hour out of the office and 20 bucks and then you don't have a whole week of sick leave. Most bean counters are stupid though, and got their job by doing coke with the right people more than anything else.
Political violence is when you do violence to the political people and the more political the more violence it is. Other violence is never political, especially when it's done by political institutions. The more political the person doing the violence, the less political and violence it is.

Things I've learned since going vegan
- You can slice someone's throat and still love them.
- The word "need" can also mean "could easily live without but do kinda want".
- The word "humane" can mean literally anything you want it to.
- It's ok to call people out for harmful behaviour unless that behaviour involves bacon.
- Plants definitely feel pain and lawns scream when you mow them.
- Crop workers are exploited but slaughterhouse workers definitely aren't. No exploitation here, no sir.
- Meat is the only food that contains protein.
- "Found the vegan" is still funny and original the millionth time.
- Before humans came along, cows were just wandering around with massive udders praying for someone to invent industrialised agriculture.
- Steak is cheaper than beans, rice, pasta, and canned vegetables.
- While 99% of all meat comes from factory farms, no one eats that meat.
- Everyone only buys local, organic, humane, Dalai Lama approved meat.
- Everyone has an uncle who owns a farm straight out of a 1950's Americana magazine
- Everyone has a degree in nutrition and evolutionary biology.
- Everyone knows that one guy who went vegan and almost died.
- Everyone is free to talk about their identity, beliefs and interests without being shamed for them. Unless they're vegan. Vegans can fuck off.
My wife is fortunately still alive so maybe that colours my view. However when I've lost other people the blessed anaesthesia of forgetting has been essential in being able to function.
From the short quote it seems like she maybe has a healthy-ish attitude but idk... I feel like this would be a shallow simulacrum that prolongs grief.
Oh can we stop this? we have no large land predators. Indeed Australia is so peaceful as to give rise to the quokka that fearlessly approaches humans.
Sure if you piss off a kangaroo or deliberately antagonise a spider you might get hurt but you'd have to really really try and odds are you would just get fixed up in hospital.
This land is peaceful, it's inhabitants kind (well, except the humans, the English really did a number).

Lockdowns are far enough away that baking is fun again.
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
No crumbshot yet, cooling. It's a bit of a frankenloaf as I didn't have enough flour but had already started the process.
about 30% white bread flour, 30% rye, and 30% horrible supermarket wholemeal. ~80% hydration.
Tbh I was surprised it came out of the rattan thing as the rye + high hydration makes a pretty sticky mess. However it seemed enough water leeched through the wood during proofing that the rice flour did it's thing.
Don't do this, you'll be malnourished. Grains aren't a particularly good food group.
Potatoes don't require much prep, are generally cheap and filling, and will be much better nutrient wise. I'd still recommend rice and beans though. Canned beans work if you have no means to cook.
Me approaching Foss developer with bug: Pardon me, if you could grace this lowly worm with but a moment of your attention; I with me a bug report, and I believe I have found the section of code responsible. This inadequate being lacks the technical expertise to fix it and would be eternally indebted if you would turn your monumental skills upon its trifling problems. It would please me immensely if my paltry efforts were of some assistance.

3d printed jig for assembling LED cube layers
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
Includes a little jig off the side to bend the leads regularly, and holds the LEDs in consistent orientation using the cathode cutaway on the rim.
Designed by my lovely wife.
btw It is food safe to drink coffee next to 3d printed parts nerds ;)
P.S. this filament is awful, filamentium pla. The worst thing I've used since early reprap days when variability was high.
Any ideas what's causing that "shadowing" between the holes? those parts printed last I think but at the same speed/ironing pattern etc as the more matte parts between.

pretty basic but I made myself a less mess espresso basket prep ring thing.
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
It'a detained by magnets so it doesn't get in the basket and interfere with spreading out the grounds. Needs a clean up with a lick of sandpaper, pretty stupid but these things cost like 50 bucks /shrug
EDIT: appreciate all the concern for my health, it touches dry coffee grounds. I agree that if it got wet there'd be health problems but unless it gets real humid there's just no opportunity for decay. As for random leaching same diff, without heat and wet it's not really a concern.
That said I probably will seal an improved design, this is just a test piece.
To his credit he undertook sensitivity training and is a much, much, better communicator now.
He used to channel the whole juvenile angry-but-gifted programmer crap, accepted (eventually) the criticisms and did the right thing: changed.
So if you ask a group of 5 leftists of any sort how they imagine society might be structured you'll get 6 answers. Anarchists are no different, it's difficult because it's off the map yeah?
The common thread is a society with no involuntary impositions of power and authority. That isn't no rules, many societies in the past and present have varying degrees of hierarchy and even within the same society the degree of hierarchy can change depending on what groups of people are doing.
you know how when you organise a family gathering nobody is "in charge" exactly? people select tasks they are suited to or feel it's their turn to do and go about doing them. People might choose to defer decisions to another person but always retain the ability to withdraw that consent and so on?
Anarchists imagine a society more like that, where when a person wants something done they assemble a group of people, communicate their ideas, reach a consensus on whether it should or shouldn't be done, if people agree then they organise themselves into a group to accomplish the task.
It's really not so different from how you probably conduct yourself most of the time. It's actually kinda rare for people to use coercive violence to get people to cooperate. Anarchists think we can all just take a few more steps towards being anarchists all the time.
As to why would it be better? well what feels better: cooking at a community gathering or working at a restaurant with your boss breathing down your neck?
You're definitely on the right side of things when you silence people calling out genocides.

Australia’s system of indefinite immigration detention to face high court challenge

I am having trouble understanding what you wrote.
I mean it in the sense, you lose the excuse to take a long lunch getting vaxxed. Not that vaccines are bad. I am not a lunatic, anyone who is even remotely pro social and not significantly unhealthy gets every vaccine they can because being a vector is the ultimate cringe.
