IDF has command centers in major Israeli cities.

This does not excuse bombing civilians.

Keeping my fingers crossed they eventually sand off the rough edges and turn it into a halfway decent Skyrim in Space.

It is customary among her people that the man bring a leg of a lingta to the first courtship dinner. Make sure it’s fresh, as if you had just killed it. Then use the leg to sweep aside everything on the table and declare in a loud voice, “I have brought you this! From this day, I wish to provide food for you and your House! All I ask is to share your company and do honor to your name!”

Employers controlling their workers “time off” is old fashioned dystopia.

Curiously enough, 99% of awards go to people ineligible for a share of the money.

I prefer serif fonts in fiction and humanities, but maybe that’s just my STEM bias showing.

For regular text, something sans-serif that is not fixed width like Calibri.

For code or numbers, a fixed width sans-serif font like Consolas or Inconsolata.

Serif fonts definitely have their place, far away from technical documents.

That’ll be $49.99, pal.

The downvotes are actually nice to see if you can still see upvotes.

On Reddit if a post goes to -50 I just delete it to silence the mob.

On Lemmy if I see +100/-150 I know it drove debate instead of just pissing people off.

Beehaw is such a nice place to visit, but I’m too much of an asshole to live there.

Dictator’s playbook is to start a war to steal your neighbor’s resources. If you win, you’re a hero to nationalists and have a new revenue stream for you and your cronies to pillage.

I’m sorry, that sounds like a really shitty day.

That’s why you escalate straight to legal. Waste the time of someone more expensive than the idiots in marketing.

Sorry but Threads is read-only to the Fediverse.

Look up the email for their legal department and demand they cancel all fraudulent bookings under your name. Play dumb a little so they take it up with marketing.

Ancient Horrors Beyond Comprehension

IMF and World Bank are co-conspirators of robbing the citizens of poor nations with corrupt governance.

Repaying loans taken out by thieves would be rewarding their accomplices.

Strangely, there is no talk of holding bank execs accountable for their part in the theft.

This is just posts on Threads being pushed out to Mastodon.

Still no way to publish to Threads users from outside the walled garden.

Here’s what I made last time:

2 lbs chuck roast, trimmed of excess chunks of fat, cut into 3/4-inch cubes

3 Tbsp olive oil

1 1/2 cups chopped carrots (about 3)

1 cup chopped celery (about 2 ribs)

2 cups chopped yellow onion (1 large)

3 Tbsp tomato paste

1 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic (4 cloves)

64oz low-sodium chicken broth or beef broth

1 Tbsp soy sauce

2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

2 tsp minced fresh rosemary, or 1/2 tsp dried

2 tsp minced fresh thyme, or 1/2 tsp dried

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 cup pearl barley

3 Tbsp minced fresh parsley

Brown meat in oil, reserve. Sautee veggies to soften. Deglaze pot, dump it all in, simmer 40 minutes.
