@MisterRogersSnapped @spaceman It's kinda boring but I have Mint with xfce and cinnamon on several computers. My basement is starting to look like that shack in District 9 with all of the old computers. Hard to toss "trash" that is perfectly usable even if it is unsightly.

@Ctyree Oh boy, I don't think the mark of the beast is going to be any kind of surprise or secret. It will be a super obvious line in the sand that will carry dire consequences if crossed. It's going to happen and Christians and anyone else who denies it will be be-headed. Talk to your friends and loved ones and clearly define your lines in the sand before the times come to decide and stand together.

@Ctyree Well look at the N95 mask. N is the 14th letter in the alphabet, and the mark can be in 2 places...14*95/2=665 OK probably not the mark of the beast, but we're getting close😆

@Cleisthenes I got a french press a couple of weeks ago and use it for coffee and tea. 5 minutes seems about right to me before pressing. Never tried a percolator.

@Asianking@dingdash.com I do a lot of big projects with commercial construction in the US and most of the time when I see construction in other parts of the world I just shake my head realizing that people work with what they have. That looks proper, good job!

@Citizenzibb@fosstodon.org @penny @mia@nazrin.moe After years of asking me for a meat grinder, I finally got my wife one last anniversary. Best way to make burgers by far and it isn't too hard to clean.

For me it began when when I was 7-10 and came almost exclusively from movies and books, though my librarian had been part of the civil rights movement and told us stories. Freedom was something mentioned often in church, but at that age it didn't really click. The Call of the Wild, White Fang, Little House Books, Roots, Snow Treasure, and The Dairy of Anne Frank all seemed to have had a profound impact on me.

A lot of you are advocates of freedom and privacy. People aren't born valuing these things, but must learn one way or another. Many people never learned, and younger generations don't miss what they never had. When/how did you learn to value freedom and privacy?

Genuine Hammer Head Shark!

@Daintress Different clients handle the way this was posted differently. Sometimes it will just say, "Show More". Seemed like a good way to break up a Q&A.

It was in the 90's(33C) this weekend and we had a bit of a temperature drop yesterday.

@Citizenzibb@fosstodon.org @MaryMamuzich @Bonnie She is. She put off so many of the things she enjoyed while raising us and it is good to see her finally doing something for herself. She's pushing 70 and doing better than a lot of people my age!

@d4klutz Whatever happened to Lori Petty?

@rixx What do you mean? Do you wish me an amazing morning, or mean that it is an amazing morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel amazing this morning; or that it is a morning to be amazing on?

@dallin@librem.one I haven't checked out Picard, but TNG made a big impact on the world. Think I'll try to do a re-watch in the near future too.

My mother, having a blast!

@Asianking@dingdash.com Our church felt the same way and rented spaces for ~30 years. Having large groups at houses, even if there is plenty of room (100 acres), gets shut down by the government. Real estate prices soared here and eventually we decided to buy and renovate an old church 5 years ago. You would cry if I told you what our mortgage cost. Now we can't really utilize our building because of Covid19.

“It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel. I will also give you as a light to the nations, that you may be my salvation to the end of the earth.”
