“Sex work is work and work sucks.”

When my Waterpik broke after years of use I was happily surprised to learn they still had replacement parts available.

I like this representation a lot.

Every day is STFU Friday.

actor Matt Damon, who plays Odysseus in Christopher Nolan’s interpretation of Homer’s epic tale, had said in an interview that she had “the greatest arms I have ever seen.”

Damon had been discussing one of the film’s pivotal scenes when he gently corrected his interlocutor, who had mistakenly assumed the biceps in the shot were his own: They belonged to Dalton, who some might be surprised to learn is his stunt double.

A shot of Dalton from behind in the scene, holding a sword and ready to pounce at the giants, is used in one of the posters for the movie.

Confirmed. That’s a damn fine arm.

In such a case, would the two instances still effectively be defederated?

I think so? That’s what I would expect, at least.

If you want to complicate the graph further, I believe hexbear federates using an allow list. Blahaj, lemmy.ca, and sh.itjust.works are not on the allow list, so they are effectively defederated. I haven’t looked further to see which other large instances may be affected.

The beehaw.org/sh.itjust.works defederation is really one-way. Beehaw defederated from us after some exceptionally bad trolls were operating from sh.itjust.works in 2023. IIRC, they requested that we also defederate from them to really make sure the split was made. We honored their request.

We would happily reconnect if Beehaw decided they want to federate with us again. If not, then that’s fine; they have a right to associate with whomever they like.

I believe infosec.pub temporarily defederated from us around the same time for the same reason. It was a rough time.

Yeah, a good pair of boots is a wonderful thing. “Never cheap out on anything that separates you from the ground” and all that. My old pair are heavy-duty hiking boots that have taken me all over the mountains. But my feet are getting wider as I get older. A bad blister last week finally spurred me to shop for something new.

My region is known for cherries and (to a lesser extent) peaches. So as far as climate goes, I would say they fit right in with other stone fruit.

As for care, I am a clumsy and sometimes negligent caretaker. The tree is well established in my backyard and does not seem to need much aside from water. I prune it every year or two (my pruning jobs are ugly but the tree doesn’t seem to care). The biggest chore is picking up all of the fallen fruit before it attracts too many wasps.

I bought new boots, and they are a huge upgrade for my old boots. I should have done this years ago! So much lighter, so much more comfortable.

Also, my backyard apricot tree produced a fantastic crop this year. The freezer is full of fruit for making jam in autumn when the weather is cooler, and the dehydrator has been running nightly.

Looks like Photon. Compare it to https://phtn.app/

I’m sold!

US, if my avatar didn’t already make that clear. My short list is Canada, Norway, Germany, France, New Zealand, Chile, in no particular order. Basically, places with snowy mountains and ski resorts.

It’s hard to pick just one place, though. There are so many beautiful and interesting spots in the world.

Great answer.

I second that OP should ask about ring preference before buying anything. I did before I proposed, and was surprised to learn that she had very specific desires for her engagement ring.

Just autocorrect screwing me again. Fixed now.

If Colombia wins, free empanadas!

'07 shitbox checking in. Was at the scrap yard last week getting replacement parts.
