Linux & FOSS Enthusiast. My cultural touch points are 90s-00s sci-fi references and Mean Girls.

  • Give me more movies about trade disputes!

  • But it's memory safe...

  • Bread puns never get stale.

  • As long as it has flavor.

  • This is the real reason for the rise in autism. /s

  • Honestly, I'd love a short-form series on how to fix things. No drama. No intrigue. The only suffering is realizing you can't find any of the 10mm self-sealing stembolts. I want episode titles like "Reverse your phase emitter polarity in 10 minutes," and "5 ways to deal with a too small pattern buffer."

    Better yet, give me the Red Green Show... but replace the Canadian with Irish and swap the flannel for a Starfleet Uniform.

  • Your comment doesn't have enough up votes. You're doing the Lord's work. Bravo.

  • Because someone has to. For the word "instinct," from Latin instinctus "instigation, impulse, inspiration," noun use of past participle of instinguere.

    • in - "into, in, on, upon"
    • stinguere - "prick, goad," from PIE *steig- "to prick, stick, pierce"

    So, in the end, the "stinct" has more to do with the word stick than it does stink.

    edit: I know this is a shit post. I just think etymology is neat.

  • Where is this? I can't find it.

  • This blew my mind when I took plant biology in college.

  • How much longer until this goes the way of Theranos?

  • Six more months and it will be a Spirit Halloween.

  • You are on the right track. There is so much more to unpack. It's all stories of family dysfunction all the way down. Cain and Abel squaring with whose sacrifice was more acceptable. Noah cursing one of his sons/grandsons after the flood for uncovering his nakedness (read Ham had relations with Noah's wife and fathered Canaan). Even Joseph's sons got the old switcheroo with their blessings.

  • Can we just do the Bell Riots already?

  • I don't like plants.

  • I would watch a season of this.

  • And we all can agree that Dasani is not worth it at any price.

  • When did David Miscavige die? /s

  • TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name @lemmy.world

    Sonic Shower Thought: If a super advanced race planted the seeds for humanoid life throughout the galaxy, one of their DNA contributors must have looked like Jeffrey Combs.
