I’m mostly joking. Generally the kids impress me and there’s stuff my peers and I did that I’m frankly shocked we survived, not all of us came through intact. Shit I’m on lemmy, I’ve probably got some screws loose.

But I do think teen years are a good time of life to test some boundaries and break some rules. If you’re not hurting other people even a bit of destructive mischief is ok imho, you gotta learn how to disobey and why sometimes you shouldn’t.

I hate this shit. If anything the youths are milquetoast obedient wet rags.

Yet somehow there’s still, despite their puritanical and anxiety ridden dispositions, concern that they’re out mugging grannies every weekend.

It’s extremely tedious.

Also break laws and imbibe dubious substances you limp noodles.

opal is what happens when spheres of particular size pack in grain structures of particular size.

you get like interference making diffraction patterns, but not monochrome because pseudo (meta?) crytals of balls modify the ball modes. you can make opal from latex balls, it’s just not hard or as pretty. .

Basically opal is just the earth playing with its balls.

base camp stew. Basically a meal made from canned rations. Baked beans, instant ramen, etc

You mistake conflict for confusion.

If someone’s terminal values are opposed to yours you cannot convince them. Sometimes people change core opinions slowly, but almost always by interaction with people close to them (i.e. where they have conflicting drives to uphold or reject an opinion). Internet debate me bro shit is pointless and just poisons spaces.

Let us return to the proud tradition of walled cities.

Aside from the obvious don’t zone floodplains I don’t really know what we’re supposed to do about this. Australians significantly resist densification of cities and don’t plan cities well at all which reenforces that resistance. We’re absurdly highly urbanised but in a sprawling manner.

We can’t really reduce bushfire danger much without massive deforestation so let’s not do that. It’s not really plausible to like build underground and stuff in the regions/rural areas.

There’s stuff we can procedurally get better at but floods and fires aren’t like earthquakes where you can build structures that are basically untouched.

Are we just fucked?

In this time of genocide it’s important that we focus on the core issue: a minority of protestors being outright racists.

If even one Australian feels uncomfortable or is put at risk of violence then that is too far, and the sacrifice of the entire people of Palestine is not a sacrifice too large to prevent that.

Billions? I highly doubt. A billion is a fucking ludicrous amount of money.

He has ranked on the Forbes list for the highest-paid YouTube creator in 2022[25] and has an estimated net worth of $500 million.[26]

So he’s numerically closer to homeless than billions.

Yeah I dunno why you think how it is in the USA would be very relevant not in the usa.

I prefer to not abuse animals but have been meaning to make a plant wax based cloth thing for a while. I should step it up.

I mean I can some stuff but aside from fowlers canning jars have low availability since ball stopped selling in aus, the more usaian standard with disposable middle rings and seals are not found anywhere atm. Also jars just aren’t a good solution to leftovers or portions like cake and stuff.

I’d have a better time scrounging old dessicators with ground mating surfaces etc. Or old casserole dishes. The issue is that those aren’t widely available affordabily anymore.

Yeah I just mean their furniture.

I know why it doesn’t happen but I’d like to see gov legislate standard jar mouth dimensions. So everything is interoperable using ground glass surfaces like scientific glassware.

Make whatever shape jar you like or whatever but if it’s a “cold food low volume” or whatever it should just have a standard lid/thread/mating surface.

There’s not really any good reasons to allow companies to make things that don’t work together.

I’ll have a look. Most IKEA is complete junk but sometimes their products are ok. I hate MDF so much I basically never look at them, awful carcinogenic material with all of the disadvantages of wood and none of the benefits.

Got any hot tips on high quality affordable glass containers without plastic components? Standard gaskets, or ones which can be cut from silicone and replaced as needed are ok.

Ideally should survive small drops and boiling water.

There are expensive junk ones at my IGA but something like old Pyrex would be good.

Imagine valuing your own opinions so little you invite random people with zero accountability to manipulate you.

If that is your desire read my snippy dissection of the transcript.

Le Guin was a real one.

There’s also a transcript at the bottom.
