Why not let your sister de-worm herself? Certain worm-man did it a little too late and his brain got fused with the worm's… But he's currently in charge of health in the United States, so I suppose it's still a success story 🤔

(Sorry, I couldn't resist and not make an RFK joke, I wish your family to get well, no matter what their views are!)

…and the cock is clearly winning 🤣

It's frogsday, my captain!

US-made beer? Nothing of value was probably lost 🤭

Originally I thought that geotagging photos is a neat idea, but nowadays I'm just scared to ever turn the GPS on — even when I have to use the OpenStreetMap application I find my location manually instead of turning the damn thing on 😩

@rl_dane
Station — the "social" thing is usually where I head to first: gemini://station.martinrue.com/
People often post the links to stuff they find fun there, or just random funny thoughts.
Cosmos and Antenna are two other good options:
gemini://skyjake.fi/~Cosmos/
gemini://warmedal.se/~antenna/
These are collections of stuff people post on their personal gemlogs.
Or just follow the feeds of people you like!

Exploring Geminispace is another option — even just browsing through latest topics at Station. Political stuff is way less common on Gemini and even when you stumble upon it, it's somehow less depressing than it is on the Web.

…but they might make "Russia coming to them" seem more legitimate in the eyes of the international community.
That is precisely why I think healthy nationalism has a more important role in deterring this than access to small firearms. Look at Finns — I've never expected them to be as hostile to Russians, but I think it's what allowed them to fend for themselves in the Winter war.

@amerika @dcc @ThatCrazyDude
And the Baltic states before that — USSR have mostly been using local communist parties as a pre-text to invade, Russia uses Russian communities, otherwise the playbook didn't change much.
Russians living in Baltic states would never give up their "non-citizen" status for Russian citizenship as it allows them to travel both to EU and to Russia…

> an HDMI to VGA cord
This might not be as easy to pull off as you think it is, active digital to analogue converter is a pretty complex device, a quality one might cost you more than RasPi does.
Passive one won't work if video card was never designed with DVI-I and DVI-A outputs capable of using a VGA connector, I don't think the video chip in RasPi can do that, it's too new. Nvidia dropped support in 700 series and their user base is more likely to have demand in older displays.

@bonifartius @ThatCrazyDude
There is always someone willing to put up a fight — how strong and self-conscious you are as a nation and how hostile you are to the invading one is a way more significant factor IMO than ready-access to firearms.
Even Afghanistan wasn't originally that trigger-happy hell it is today — it got there very gradually, the US and USSR were supporting different groups, which were nothing like Taliban of today and even resembled political parties at the time.

@dcc @ThatCrazyDude
Well, I'm sure Poles would be pretty good at guerilla warfare — which would be even more effective in urban areas (of which the Afghanistan does not have much). But it would still take years of that for the occupying army to bleed out enough to consider withdrawing — and damage to your nation would already be done, that is why more economically advanced nations prefer professional armies and diplomatic deterrence, I would certainly choose Poland over Afghanistan any day😅

@ThatCrazyDude
Small firearms sadly won't stop tanks, UAVs and glider bombs — to stop an army you need one too, not a militia 🤷

And wash it down with beer! 🍺

@theorytoe
I have to admit that I've still made the switch to Motion Sickness anyway 😔
Not a bad choice! By current standards it's pretty basic, but for the time IMO he was two heads above Bad Company — for the genre I mean. This isn't my genre at all — but this one I enjoy!

@theorytoe
That was a good faith question actually — not to mock anyone, I certainly have my own hierarchy of the genres, but in this here case it has nothing to do with it. I'm half-way through Tiamat — Wildhoney, and I enjoy it immensely, but if it's D'n'B — I know it would ruin it for me and I would switch to Panacea — Motion Sickness or some of the latest works of Christoph de Babalon 😅
