Cheers loyal lemmy canary.

How’d it go?

I’m due to hop on to a 787 later this year. I don’t really know how much of a risk I’m taking. This stuff’s freaking me out. Are they all sus? Or just on certain airlines or what?

Pretty. Looks dangerous AF

Notes of Smothers O’Neil to this post

Wow I was going to comment on how their legs look they have boners but uh… never mind I guess.

I play wave race 64 alot it really is such a fantastic game but it’s a very short one, I’ve played it to death. At one point I think I even beat the world record for the Glacier Coast course but I’ve heard that records set on emulators aren’t counted and even if you’re not cheating an emulator run is considered easier than on the real 64.

I really want another wave race title. I wasn’t a huge fan of the GameCube one. Just such a nostalgia hit. It was the first game I had on my 64 and I played all through Christmas day. Something about the sunset bay and also the training level really brings me right back to 1998 whenever I play it.

I hope you meant nice-ass blaster rather than nice ass-blaster

Of all the days to have dedicated a day, pizza day must be among the most deserving. Well done Italy.

I guess their response if you said to this to them would be that they actively are trying to do exactly as you suggest, hence the posts and with regard to the list of materials they seem to be sick of seeing, they’d probably say this is what they continue to be offered from publishers when they try to stock their shop making the task difficult.

I don’t think from the posts alone there’s necessarily a logical flaw or hypocrisy to what they’re saying, but certainty an inflated sense of their own idea of what public opinion is and a very distorted understanding of what literature outside of the narrow confines of what they deem acceptable is for and about.

I think they maybe get some sense of how fucked up the sentences their position requires them to write sound when they have to clarify what they mean by recasting the thing they reject as something else that sounds worse, hence “inclusion” becomes “anti-white exclusion” because even they perhaps realised that it’s hard to sound like the good guy preaching against hate and division when you find yourself saying you don’t want any books featuring inclusion.

Great phrase, much more impact than quiet quit. I have plenty of sympathy for them, though that dipped substantially when one of the people they profiled became a “certified life coach” oh my god.

Oooh huevos rancheros pizza would be awesome.

Which aspect of this would have been controversial, since you bring it up?

That’s a good idea, but then again, with the effort and labour of making a really good lasagne, you might as well make a big one. For me one of the best things about lasagne is that it keeps on giving. It’s easy to portion, it freezes well, and to a certain extent gets even better with time. Makes a great ready meal once you’ve frozen it too because it microwaves so well whilst maintaining most of what made it great to begin with.

But they seemed to argue that the cohort born after 1889 were exposed to it as children and that’s what made them weaker against the 1918 outbreak, which seems to run counter to received wisdom about immunity.

Maybe I misinterpreted and as you’re saying, they were arguing that the cohort born after 1889 weren’t exposed and were thus had less immune defence against the 1918 virus. It’s just, that’s also confusing because I thought the whole thing they were trying to explain was why people who otherwise mightn’t be as strongly affected by a novel influenza virus, generally (young healthy adults), seemed in this case to be affected more so than in comparable outbreaks. If people born before 1889 had prior exposure to a similar virus to the then novel, 1918 influenza virus and were thus, a little bit better protected against it, that would manifest in an unusually lower number of older people being as badly stricken not a higher than usual number of young people. Also if the logic follows, it would imply that for young healthy people not to be as affected as they had seemed to be in 1918, or in any case of a novel influenza virus outbreak, they would normally have to have been partially exposed to a similar virus, but that would mean either that every novel influenza virus affected a cohort not usually as badly affected meaning paradoxically that in fact that cohort would seem to usually be that strongly affected by novel viruses, or that somehow coincidentally every such novel influenza virus outbreak before had had a similar preceding outbreak timed to give that cohort time to form antibodies.

Near the end of the article they link to a paper about how a virus emerging prior to the 1918 influenza pandemic may have left young healthy adults specifically, more vulnerable than usual because of their childhood exposure to this prior virus. I don’t actually understand how that works and the paper is going over my head a bit and is long and detailed. Anyone get how the prior exposure would leave one more vulnerable?

In Australia and the UK we like the skin as well when roasted. We call it crackling.

Tell me more. Not familiar with Danish food.

So what have you got? Looks like a baked potato and I think, fish? How are all the veggies cooked?

Damn dude I want you around to give commentary on everything I do, so encouraging.
