Decided to look the place up, I live only about an hour or so from there! Is it really that good?

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Lemmy is a tech literate echo chamber
1·8 months agoOn the subject of not knowing most of the things you mentioned, I’m with the other commenters. As a (hopefully) Linux newbie, do you know of any thorough guides I could use to install Linux on my 10 year old Asus X550J laptop?

Green Energy@slrpnk.net•It would require about 31 hectares of corn ethanol to produce the same amount of energy generated by 1 ha of solar panels
2·11 months agoAlso the costs of planting corn, protecting it, the emissions from equipment used to harvest, transport, and manufacture, and the amount of water needed to make it all happen, it’s extremely inefficient. Solar panels are just there. It’s not always simple to set them up, and the up front cost might be high, but the long-term benefit far outweighs the cost of corn.
Nothing wrong with me
This is exactly how I’ve been drying myself for years! It’s really simple, as when I’m done with the towel, I always hang it to dry on the hook the same way, and then grab it in the same way when I get out of the shower the next time. It takes no thought, and mostly ensures each “section” gets evenly distributed moisture absorption.

2·1 year agoWell with ±400 million guns circulating nationwide, and one in three people are gun owners, consider how many of them would use them in defense of the current government now. There’s a reason behind allowing 2A to go unchecked, when in the time it was written, it made sense. Now it’s a civilian army that, while keeping the population divided, a not insubstantial percentage will blindly defend any unjust actions this government decides to perpetrate.

2·1 year agoI just heard about this yesterday! I’m currently playing through the first, at around 55 hours and < 50% story completion and I’m loving it! I borrowed it from somebody four years ago but didn’t get too involved because it wasn’t my game, so I’m a bit disappointed by that. But this time I’m leaving no stone unturned, I love the combat system, and the stories and legends are fantastic! If Yotei is just as good as Tsushima, I can’t wait to play it!

1·1 year agoFleshgod, Gorod, Katatonia, and Spawn of Possession immediately stood out to me, among the others, but I was legit just surprised to have seen an Anorexia Nervosa mention up there.

3·1 year agoSurprised to see you threw Anorexia Nervosa in there, I’ve never met anybody else who had listened to them, or even heard of em for that matter.
The conduit isn’t painted red so it might not have been life safety, unless it got painted over to match the column after it became abandoned. My guess is an emergency light, which wouldn’t have needed to be easily discernable. However, it does seem to have definitely had a purpose at one point because the (original) cover more than likely would have been painted to match as well, or would have not been necessary if was a device.
Regardless, even if it was an abandoned fire alarm circuit, the conduit should still be red.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is your horrible Food Poisoning story?
3·1 year agoThanksgiving 2019, went to meet the family at a “fancy” sort of pub out in the sticks for Thanksgiving dinner because all of us were too busy to deal with a traditional get together. Naturally, everybody had their fill until regret as it goes and everybody went back their separate ways.
It wasn’t until a couple hours later I started feeling queasy and figured I just needed to sleep off the copious amounts of food I’d eaten, so I went to bed. Until 11pm. I had to rush to the bathroom and rotate between facing the toilet, and sitting on it, for about 20 minutes expelling everything my body could muster. After I got back to bed, it came back every hour like clockwork for about 7 hours, except I’d already been empty after the first episode. I finally got to sleep and spent the next 36 hours trying to remain asleep so as not to feel the pain, and ultimately didn’t eat anything for the next four or five days, except small amounts of chicken broth, water, and ginger ale.
This got a chuckle out of me! One of the best responses I’ve read this morning.

politics @lemmy.world•Gen Z commit to ‘canceling out’ their MAGA parents votes in new TikTok trend
13·1 year agohow fucked up is the political climate in the US?
Well the right has been brainwashed over the course of decades to believe “tHe LiBruLs aRe GoNnA tAKe aWaY mUh FrEeDuMs,” and coupled with the Trump/MAGA cult behavior has only exacerbated their idiocy to the point any and every one of them feels they have nothing to lose (which they don’t, many have nothing) by standing in the way of democracy.
American politics has long been just viewed as if rooting for a favorite sports team, “My team is the best and everybody else is my rival!” where people don’t even care that their team sucks, they’ll continue to stand behind them because that’s their team. Many vote against their own interests because of that, and the MAGA cult is the worst case it’s been in a very long time.

4·1 year agoI heard/read years ago “86ing” came from the old west referring to killing somebody. You’d take them “80 miles out” and bury them “6 feet deep.”






Thanks for the reply! Next time I’m out that way, I’ll give them a try and see if they still live up to the hype.
I don’t get down Woodbridge way very often, but I have tried a couple burger places that I’ll recommend to everybody- one is Melt in Leesburg, and the other is Homespun Farm Store and Restaurant in Berryville. Both are by far some of the best burgers I’ve had.
Lastly, Round Table pizzas are my favorite, but I only get out to the West Coast a few times a year for right now.
