American football is gaining popularity in Europe and South America at a pretty healthy clip. Enough so that the NFL is now sending teams to play games in those places. They are even starting to consider expanding a couple of teams to Europe in the future. And there are more and more international players starting to get a foothold in the NFL as players.
You might have won a battle, but you could lose still lose the war…

solarpunk memes@slrpnk.net•rural americans will drive past a coal-fired power plant, in their five mpg ford truck, to go to a small town city council meeting and complain about how environmentally destructive solar panels are
3·3 hours agoYou really need to trace where the power from that coal plant goes. It probably mostly goes to cities 100’s of miles away, (NIMBY). Just like the power from solar and wind farms. Nor was it the choice of those rural Americans to build that coal plant there. But they still get to drive by it so you can game on your console.

1·3 hours agoI’ve been fooling with Linux for nearly as long. I ain’t no gamer beyond the intense game of KPatience, but I’m amazed at just how far and versatile Linux has become. From servers to gaming to real-time kernels that can power industrial machinery. It’s got something for everyone.

5·2 days agoTo be fair, someone did have the malice aforeskin to have an AI separated backup. They did get things restored from a snapshot. It just took a couple of days to do it.
But the loss of reputation and revenue is gonna sting for a good while.

So I say push the Black Widow. The character is already its own thing. Smart, skilled, powerful. The lesbian angle is good. Womanizing sells in Hollywood heros. Maybe have her fight an evil gang of TERFs or something.

12·3 days agoA side story about the Okapi.
When the Okapi became a big thing to the public, a German cutlery manufacturer designed a distinctive looking cheap and useful knife that was named after the Okapi. They became popular pocket knives with German soldiers and often found in the German trenches in WW1. The Okapi knives were made in Germany until the 1980s when the tooling and name was sold to a cutlery and tool manufacturer in South Africa where they are made to this day.
They are still cheap and rugged enough for daily use. And quite popular in poorer parts of the world. Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones was known to regularly carry a large Okapi knife he was given.
I love gooses. Smoked goose is a treat fit for the gods.

Yep. That’s the accepted idea. But at our core we are still all pack animals. It’s hard to get away from the “lizard brain.”
It was never about the money. It’s the message.
That’s for sure 10-ply. There isn’t a word or phrase that can’t be used as a slur.
Doesn’t throwing that $1000 iPhone against a wall do the same thing?
Surveyor stakes are the equivalent to peeing on a tree these days.
And at our core for millions of years we have been pack animals like the wolf or lion or sheep. Lemmy is filled with packs and tribes that will defend their “territory” by expulsion anyone that disagrees with the pack strongly enough. Just as humans have done for those same millions of years.
You get really, really good at it. And intermittent self cathing is far better than wearing one with a bag strapped to your leg all the time. I’ve done that too. None of this does your sex life a lot of good though. But prostrate issues never do.
Pro Tip: Everyone should know their catheter size, I use a 16 french for example. I also recommend the hydrophilic lube with coude tip ones for easier insertion and placement.






So, what did I say that factually wrong?
