That is a really cool video. Fascinating!

How do you pronounce it? I had some American tourists ask me for directions to the “kway” before. Only time I’ve ever heard a different pronunciation.

I read it as bol-on-ya. I’ve heard boloney before but didn’t know that was the spelling. This thread is throwing up all sorts of learning for me :)

I can’t say really. Where I live (Ireland) it’s definitely pronounced “kee” but where you live “kway” might be correct. Fascinating stuff!

Well that is a fascinating read. Thanks!

I mean…I kinda want those socks

Ha! You’re right of course. They look good but my feet are sweating just thinking about putting them on.

People who love you should be happy that something’s bringing you joy.

I would gently suggest surrounding yourself with kinder people. You should be able to stop and look at an insect in fascination or swing on a swing without being abused.

You’ll find those people :)

Jeez the Tankie fruit loops on here running rings around in their brain to come up with some messed up take is really the only down side to Lemmy.

Like, folks, look at that logic… “America is killing Ukrainians”. Not one mention of Papa Putin and his war of aggression.

Bucha? No. Theatres full of kids? No. Ethnic cleansing? Absolutely not.

This punter has managed to convince themselves it’s America killing Ukrainians and trying to take over Ukraine.

Mental.

Agreed. It’s such a great learning process. I ultimately gave up on Gentoo but learned a lot by using it for about 2 years way back in around 2005.

Linux From Scratch brings a huge leap in understanding too.

You’re pissing in the wind trying to get anything from a Tankie unfortunately.

Jumps in, stirs shit, refuses to elaborate, leaves.

Continental Europe maybe. On the islands ye be gettin’ Poseidon’s kiss.

Apparently the government has been quite organised in airlifting folks out but demand was obviously high so the queues were long. They’re not leaving people over money though. My sister lives there and got out by plane about 10 hours ago.

I’d imagine the process is still ongoing though and the support staff on the ground coordinating things will be the last to go.

She didn’t mention anyone deliberately trying to stay behind but I can ask if you’re really curious. She’s currently asleep.

Yeah it’s the arse end of the world. It gets quite warm there in the summer though and there are a lot of trees surrounding it so fires aren’t that uncommon. The scale of this one is bad however. My sister’s living there about 15 years and this is her first time being evacuated.

Here’s one I remember from my childhood…

Edit: For clarity I’m not suggesting anything like that happened in this case. It just fit the bill for what I thought you were looking for

I think you fully misunderstood me. I’m not selling anything except that serious miscarriages of justice have happened in the past (edit: specifically in the UK). I genuinely thought that’s all you were asking.

I’m not familiar with this case at all and if she’s guilty I hope she fucking rots.

We had one in my school in Ireland too (and I think they were common in schools here) but tbh none of the teachers knew how to use it and so we got very little time on it in school.

I have been exactly there and was so, so glad when I eventually left.

Could you switch and take a small hit on those big ticket items?

edit: Zero judgement here btw. Just an open question. Capacity to move those benefits varies wildly by country

It depends how you sort. I’m currently browsing “Top 6 hour” and it’s numerically sorted by number of votes

Same. I’ve shockingly just spent about forty minutes completely lost in watching factories. Very relaxing altogether.

Pencil one is my favourite so far.

Yeah it’s Japan. They have a good few videos and they’re all Japan. Highly recommend checking the other ones out if you enjoyed that one.

For those like me…

noun: The quality of appearing to be true or real. synonym: truth.

Context implied it but still…Nice word!

One I came across a while ago is simple - Curtains. We all close ourselves to the outside world.
