My first encounter with Dune was staying up all night to record it off Sci-Fi on VHS. I was just a naive teenager, I didn’t know what I was in for. By the time Feyd Rautha showed up I was so tired and confused…

It took many years before I read the books but I’m glad I did, and I’m glad we’ll actually get to see Paul’s story wrapped up for once.

Small post-it notes

That way when I get distracted by another book, I can leave the mark right there. Considering I’m always “in the middle of” at least five books, this is the best solution I’ve found.

People still create great shit when left to their own devices and properly cared for

Workers in the 90s are no different from any others

Yeah as someone new to Linux gaming this filled in some key blanks for me.

It’s nice to see an article that’s informative and brief!

I’m so here for it. I don’t have a real gaming PC atm but I’ve been in and out of it for decades, and recently decided to switch to Linux for my daily driver. Seeing everything Valve has been doing for Linux gaming has been wonderful. The few games I want to play on my laptop instead of my PS5 have worked great, none of the headaches I had last time around with Linux (circa Obama). It’s helped me convince one or two of my friends, too, head of the Win10 dump.

SteamOS has been changing the game and it’s just gonna get better

When I say I’m non-binary this is what I mean

I am a whole third gender that views the views the other two as interchangeable according to my goals

Being able to swipe before/after satellite photos like that is kinda crazy.

No, washing feet was a common thing - they wore sandals or walked barefoot most of the time, it was a common hygiene practice. It was just a task for “submissive”-classed people - the wife would wash the husband’s feet, and so on.

Jesus was subverting social norms in multiple ways.

Those are other Lemmy instances, like how we’re on lemmy.world. “ml” as in “Marxism-Leninism”, it’s known to be full of tankies.

I feel like I hadn’t heard shit about Notch since Trump’s first term. Is this a bad sign

Fuck Notch

Goddamn I wish I had teeth I could be that confident in

Finally some content that’s not just SovCits

And good content, too - you couldn’t write this shit with Larry David, Bob Odenkirk and David Cross in the room.

Wait so Belgium is the New Jersey of Europe? Do they also have the inexplicable “littering allowed” zones or is that just us

Nice

I replaced mine and showed my teenage daughter how to do it last weekend.

Drug tests.

Buy store-bought urine or bring someone else’s for the test. It’s still gotta be body temp when you use it. So you nuke it for a few seconds before you tape it to your leg on your way in.

Meanwhile, at the county jail…

I rarely get into single player games but I played the second one and loved it. It felt so satisfying building this giant army and wrecking whole castles.

Just brutal.

I once saw a guy nail his hand to a wall with a big ol 16 penny ringshank l, they had to cut him loose with a sawzall. Hoo boy you heard him holler.

I always combined this scene, that memory, and the one time I stepped on a nail in Boy Scouts into one “respect the presence of pointy things” lesson/memory
