Stoking division in America, the government department may also be an internal combustion engine

Uh, what? I'll use a quote when it neatly captures what I was thinking, and credit it to the original author. The phrase is the important part I guess, but fair play to the author.

Wow, they are just giving him free advertising at this point.

If you're drawing authority from it, that's on you. Sometimes you just like the turn of phrase and are giving credit.

No, I'm providing a counter-example and rejecting the argument that only lost media entitles you to consume media for free.

I quite enjoy a half dozen sea-snots (just fresh with a wedge of lemon please), but I can see the lack of appeal.

But what if there's no war and we build a connected, coordinated and supportive society for nothing? Seriously though, if we are to increase 'military' spending, then it seems like a great idea to use that budget on approaches that help us deal with other emergencies as well.

1984 missed that our telescreens would be portable and the hate isn't limited to two minutes per day.

When I return from the library instead of the bookstore it is with the deepest shame.

Look, plenty of these are fun but not important viewing. But a few certainly are. If you haven't seen Chernobyl or Band of Brothers, go see them for the history lessons they are.

As a child and into my teens, I had an inner monologue that was switched on all the time. After practising meditation and reading without subvocalisation, I was finally able to 'shut up' where stopping the monologue was as easy as stopping talking. Anyway, I'd encourage anyone to give it a try. Now being able to think without distracting chatter is well worth it for me.

In pictures, for one example

 

A movement that wanted to merge North America into one nation and extend its borders as far as the Panama Canal might sound incredibly familiar. But this group, called the “technocracy movement”, was a group of 1930s nonconformists with big ideas about how to rearrange US society. They proposed a vision that would get rid of waste and make North America highly productive by using technology and science.

Diablo/Hellfire source port

DevilutionX is a source port of Diablo and Hellfire that strives to make it simple to run the game while providing engine improvements, bugfixes, and some optional quality of life features. This includes support for modern operating systems and higher resolutions, controller and touch control support, translations, stash, optional experience and enemy health bars, etc.

Note: DevilutionX requires data files from original Diablo/Hellfire. By default, a demo version of Diablo is installed.

Every few years I go back to the original, and each time it's been more difficult. From mucking with launcher settings to running it in a Windows XP VM, this time is different. A one-click install on Linux and a copy of diabdat.mpq later, I am amazed how easy it was (and how many quality-of-life options there are).

 
 

If you are using larger planter boxes, what material and size did you choose? I have a basically rectangular balcony and would like to put a planter box across each of the short ends, perhaps wooden or even concrete. Any wisdom from experience out there?

 

Browsing to mc.sdf.org, I get SEC_ERROR_EXPIRED_CERTIFICATE. Is there a problem?
