The whole mess with the soil and moisture levels is so bad, one of the lead researchers just retired lol. Said he would rather retire and enjoy the world while its still green
I mean, there are innumerable climate crises and environmental collapses I could rant about 
hiii
Climate stuff is kinda a bummer, ngl
haha, this is less to do with climate issues and more to do with, well other issues, but yeah, lets not jump down that rabbit whole
its just so depressing to watch. The people with the most impact are least likely to change their lifestyles
ah man
I wanted to froth at the mouth and rant
Eh, I work, well for now, for a company with a lost of associates in the water business. There is so much to worry about now, some of them are just giving up.
Like full blown, fuck this shit were out
Fun :(
Humans are self-destructive mashines. They got the brains to do big things, but too selfish to make good decisions
this just in: beansontoast4tom is not human
I love being human. However that entails a lot about my perceptions
kinda want to be that seagull i saw earlier that just swallowed an entire chicken leg. no cares, no worries, just cannibalism-adjacent diet
I do too! I get very depressed about the state of the world, especially from environmental and political standpoints, but all in all I’m pretty fulfilled atm
I want cat life. Sleep all day, piss off your human, vanish for days for no good reason and then snuggle their legs like nothing ever happened
Um... for a more lighter topic, did you all know that Terry Pratchett, writer of the Discworld novels, was a GAMER?
look what i found on the road
im uncultured, who dat
...writer of the discworld novels 
strawberry house
who dat
Piss off your human, piss on your human
Great fun
Both works!

ummm
Did they write novels or somethin
Where should I go trucking in europe 
What do you mean, human? Im not saying im not human, i am 100% human just like you, but yes, i sometimes wish to just be a bot
What if everyone else is not real
you used “they” in your message then also called humans machines
amazing
What was the name of the show...
wake up shadow
Im awake sadly
:((
The Office.
It ate another birb, right? Does it mean that if a human being eats another mammal, is it canibalism?
What was the name? A guy is living in a giant studio on an "island" and filmed every waking moment?
Pilot Mountain
And over time mishaps happen and he starts to figure out its all fake and actors
Ohhhh, the truman show
That’s why I said cannibalism adjacent meaning not cannibalism. I don’t have a phylogenetic tree handy to compare how closely related seagulls are to chickens versus humans and various mammals
I eat rock
I drink wota
I breathe air
It would not matter, since they are acting real enough to be the same as real since there is a aprox. a 97% chance im never meeting them in real life.
Salt is rock
You are meeting many people on an average persons day...
I'm going to Hungary, and you can't stop me 😠

If you’re hungary I recommend some Turkey

Im trying to figure out whether I want to laugh or cry
Oh wait, I think it’s Turkiye now
I cant recall
Sadly, because most of them are not on this server, and everyone except me is not and idiot on this server and is a good person.

exactly what my dad would say before driving his truck yes
yeehaw
Yeehaw
I bet she couldn't get three features past UAT (user acceptance tests) in 20 minutes and she did, the absolute lass
What the hell is adult contemporary
adult but contemporrqeryyyier
How do you do that in 20 minutes
that looks right
You code things right the first time and they pass the BA tests
In other words, she's a goddess
simp
Not an understatement by any means
Even if we were, why would it matter? We talk as if we were the real thing, dont we? Why not live in an illusion if its going to last forever if reality is mutch harsher? In the end, its all real, in its own way.
I simp, she's great to work with
omg
@glass belfry failed the vibecheck
Welp, i guess i cannot vibe.
Ooh, what genre?
Ciaphas Cain is an absolute lad
or is that adult comtemeplryh
I am going to stop ruining the vibe because i like it.
it's a 40k book
Ohh
Ciaphas Cain should've been a Space Marine but I'm so so glad he's not
Very cool! Never got into it myself but always time later. I like the visual aspects I’ve seen 
Recommend Eisenhorn and Gaunt's Ghosts if you want more non-SM literature
@humble marsh
One's Inquisitor, the other's Imperial Guard

I will destroy your mucranoids
I recommend mortal engines, in case you missed it (ok im going back under the rock sorry for talking here in 3am thoughts mode)

Nah

Yeah and they have a gigantic truck - go wherever you like
I am flabbergasted at this negligence
I just guess which way I need to go
This is the way
I'll give you my driving instruction manual, you can study for the exam
Seen my share of semi do that, u turn, on a 5 lane freeway once
What exam? The one I'm going to give you in five days time
DIDNT end well for the semi or the cars
People get real ambitious w those u turns
People get real ambitions driving in the rain
Then they realise they shitty drivers and aquaplane down a ravine
I am here
Hello here, I am dad

Ok, I almost flipped my truck over
Sorry son, I'll try to be better

Still need to catch a bus
I'm so confused
You're a turnip now
Zug is a potato

Eurotruck Simulator. The game where you pretend to fall asleep at the wheel and crash your virtual truck into stuff
Because it's soooo relaxing
They really need to up the fine for running red lights
80 euros? pfft, I can pay that
So's a real drive in a highway but I don't get to do that everyday
Fuel's expensive yo
that flavor text is awesome
haha

Well, you have a big truck. Kill boss first
Yeah, I think I'm ready to handle explosives
Y’all
Had some major delays but
Somehow against all odds
I managed to arrive here before sunset
The Battlefield of Thermopylae
that is absolutely got geography, wow
omg. *gorgeous. im sorry autocorrect goes off again now
Lol
lovely landscape
Image from the movie 300 for reference
That last image is a marker that was placed where the last of the Spartans made their final stand
As they were backed up onto a hill
Hi Moon
omg my barley stew is so goooooooooooood
Once these lo mein noodles are done, they're going to complement their flavor with low mein textures ....omnomnomnom
Rock and rolls
I've never tried eating rocks

You just suck on em
Actually
Didn't someone admit to sucking on rocks

congrats you’re now $88 and a whole person richer

Man, that lo mein barley stew was......incredible
A little asian infusion into an irish classic
No recipes. Just full on experimentation with flavors
Just wanted to talk about an important event that is happening next week in my country
Its called Semana Santa and its the Spanish equivalent of easter
In those days some "thrones" (statues that represent the life of Jesus, starting from the arriving of Jesus to nazaret)
Oh yeah boys let’s start a religion debate in the server where discussing religion is banned

These trhones are carried by some men and driven by other ones called "Nazarenos".
It wasnt a debate
I was talking about my country tradition ):
They were mentioning a "holiday", tf
We have Semana Santa here too
In these days people traditionally didnt eat meat (but nowaday nearly anyone does) and we eat a dessert called Torrijas
show
Yes. And I was taking that out of context in a deliberate attempt to be dumb.

Fantastic

w u t
These are torrijas
mmm
Looks tasty
Looks yummm
yes
Those look like our rabanadas
Show
Lmao
= rabid empanadas
I love this emoji combo
Sounds a lot like rebanada that means "slice of bread" in spanish

hmmmm
Is that sweet?
yes very similar
Yes
Ooh what are they? How are they made?
it's sweet bread essentially
oooooooo
Sounds good
Awww
And how are these made?
Yeah they look mostly the same (where u from?)
You know them as French toast, Red
Yes
Portugal
They are mostly fried eggs with sugar and honey
French toast is a dish of sliced bread soaked in beaten eggs and often milk or cream, then pan fried. Alternative names and variants include "eggy bread", "Bombay toast", "gypsy toast", and "poor knights" (of Windsor).When French toast is served as a sweet dish, sugar, vanilla, or cinnamon are also commonly added before pan-frying, and then it ...

Those look perect
yes
Aaah then its normal. We have lots of traditions in common
Huge fan of proper french toast
Also this is a "throne"
ooooooooooooo
I can’t really say I have many prominent foods original to my culture over here in America, but instead we just make the foods of other cultures a part of our culture. It’s pretty great. All sorts of stuff to eat on the holidays.
Glamorous
In Texas specifically there’s a large Mexican influence on local cuisine
hmmm
i love breakfast foodsss
Heres another throne. This one actually comes out from the church I live next to
the best foods.
Interesting description of torrijas:
A cross between french toast and bread pudding, it’s a simple Spanish dessert
Also to finish, the nazarenos often carry candles, so kids will get molten wax from them and make a ball with it
oooo
🇪🇸 🤝 ❤️ 🇵🇹
Yippie
hmmm soap=soup
And nazarenos will often hand it to children, it isnt like stealing
Soaup
Souap,
Some reason Destiny isn't letting me in :<
?
sad
):
By the way, @steady vale https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_Soup
Stone Soup is a European folk story in which hungry strangers convince the people of a town to each share a small amount of their food in order to make a meal that everyone enjoys, and exists as a moral regarding the value of sharing. In varying traditions, the stone has been replaced with other common inedible objects, and therefore the fable i...
It's delishhh
Lmao
looks interesting
In spain theres a soup made out of bread, tomatoes and pepper. All mixed together
Sharing soaup is caring
did you put rocks in it
yes
yas
The flipsticks. Destiny just told me to ask my Mom to play >:[
i need to sneeze
uh
Bless
thank you
That was weird, never had parental restrictions pop up on my PS5 before
@limber fractal been in this house since 2015 and this is the first stray we've ever seen here
Cat
Stray? More like new cat
Kitty
We can't take him
Yes you can
Already have 3
Claim
Nuh :<
He’s free
The khat
Just like the ducks at the park
Adquire the feline
Aww what a sweetie. Love his colors
He's so friendly I feel bad lol
I wouldn't trust eating soup from that guy
lol

Well goodbye guys
cat
Gonna have dinner
ok byeee
Cya
See ya Pepe, que te vaya bien 
If someone here wants him and is in the US or Canada we could probably make this work
My cat Murphy was basically mailed to us from Texas
what
Yes, you can ship pets without being there with them
Aww look at that face
I wonder where it came from? Doesn't look that young, huh? Is there any type of forum in your neighborhood to try to share info among neighbors to find its owner and/or a new home? 
yes lol
I will adopt kitty when I get my promotion/raise in April for sure :o
my cat is annoying
and then I'll spam you with pics
oh ok
But it's a bit difficult to fix and I'd need to get him fixed first
well theres your problem! no crunchy munchies!
Remember, Murphy was literally a mail kitty
oooo cat
usually
makes sense
I downloaded mindustry
And played it for 5 minutes.
That was ages ago
Creynfren
play it
Putting on my PJs and then I shall add thee
play mindu its fun
w h a t
Mindustry kinda feels like one of those Flash player tower defense games I played back in high school to avoid doing homework
It doesn't scratch the automation itch I desire
lol
You know when you take one boot off
and you're too lazy to take off the other one so you just spend like 40 minutes uncomfortable
I don't wear boots, can't say I understand that
Or shoes in general
I wear shoes with tread that matches my tires
Low, but usable and not gonna kill me yet
yet
If only tires were cheap
Which to be fair, the tires themselves I can probably afford
It's the labor that scares me
And then markup

I wish I made more money
not very yeehaw of you tbh :/
I like boots, for no other reason than it makes my 5'11'' ass get to 6'0'' 
I might be Texan but I'm not that Texan
it also looks kewl
Boots do look cool
Ah see I just lie
not sure what's worse, bootless kitty or tiktok watermark
it's a 3 centimetre difference
hmmmm
If I did the math right anyway
I’m actually just a worm so height aint nothing
lol
imma cake inside a box
Worms are a length question instead
yea

I should dust off my HH Thousand Sons army to show you
(Not my) Thousand Sons army
Yknow if I had a group of friends
I'd be that synthwave guy with the sunglasses and mullet
Life goals
Except without the sunglasses and no mullet
Picture Elvis but he's into retro stuff from the 80s and synthwave
Elvis is my closest lookalike
Cerys Crosley
love me tender
I don't look like any celebrities 😔
The old ladies used to say I look like Elvis ever since I was a kid
Mostly it's the eyes
Poor baby wants to come in so bad. Love his paws
(Sorry, was looking for that pic).
He's yours if you want him and live in NA lmao
But he's not fixed and if he's too old, fixing him now may not break those habits
I do want him and live in NA, but currently got cats already. Couldn't afford a third
Also Canada is part of NA...
No way in hell Benzi would accept him either
Is benzi a violent gang member
You live in NA? Lmao
I do not
simply forgo all responsibilities to adopt catto
My cat son would rather kick his ass than accept him. Very territorial
MUSTACHE
Also that stray is so thin it makes Murphy look like a damn hippo lol
He looks polite I trust him
I bet you deserved it. Not enough treats, perhaps?
Tho I guess he's someone polite. He could be throwing a tantrum instead
He's being very polite by addressing you at all
He's so thick
He is like 16 lbs or something, he does not need treats
Maine coon mix
Wide but strong
Murphy is just big
Big boned 
I weighed him again the other day and no change
Still 24 pounds
That's after months of diet
chonky
I'm not gonna stop the diet, but I think he's pretty locked in
He's a Maine coon mix so not necessarily
...Maine Coon?
I love cats but I don't really know anything about breeds
It's a type of large cat breed
absolute unit breed
Partially because I despise breeding
They average like 20 pounds
Murphy is a mix between a Maine coon and a siberian
Visually, especially in his face, he looks more like a siberian, but he's big like a Maine coon
I still think he needs to lose some weight though
It's just hard to get cats to lose weight
Put him on a cardio routine 
We're gonna be moving soon to a large piece of land so I'll wait and then use that to get him active
Take him on walks and stuff
Make sure to keep tabs on him, don't let him eat birbs
He won't leave
Hahaha that's funny lmao
Murphy, catch a bird? I wish
lmao
He's so bad at it that he gave up
poor little guy
He literally lets humming birds fly a few feet above him
I’m not cat compatible. comcatible. catpatible. they’re cute but wouldn’t own one
I like the squirrel there just looking extra kerblam'd
Literally me every time someone says Murphy is going to hunt birds if I leave him outside
You turn into three black guys and practice laughter?
ngl, I'd pay to see that
One of my cats would stare down squirrels through the glass
the other just got pissed
I miss all my pets so dearly
If Murphy catches a bird he's getting rewarded
Because that'd be a hella of an accomplishment for him
And it can't be the bird that some other cat already crippled
oopsie poopsie
This is sure to upset the trout population
No baby birds either lol
Ventikids are my type of people

I spent like an hour and a half on that fancy stew I made.....I get tonight...."Hey, do we have enough to order a pizza?"
I'm like....you fucker.

too complicated
maybe cds
or tapes
vhs
More soup for you
It's kind of sad, Ubisoft is still pushing Valhalla this hard. Did they at least fix the audio bugs in the game?
Did they make the game feel less shitty?
The price point for the game still $80 since last year
It's on discount now and whoopty...even at 67% off, it's barely worth getting.
It might be worth $30 if it included Ragnarok, but that comes in at nearly $50
I must be the alien, expecting games to depreciate in value over time if they are barely fixed
no valhalla is how it is
and its just bad
i wasted like 70 hours completing the story
i just beat them all to say i have even if its not worth it, pretty much just to have my own opinion on the games
lol
Uranium powered reactors is technically green energy
Odyssey>Valhalla

Where is that pfp from?

Technical Question: I have a 4k monitor with G-Synch, I used my PC on 4k 60 HZ because my card supports that maximum but i game on 2k 144HZ, ig the G-Sync is always on, when I play on 2k does it bring my Hz to 60 as per my normal 4k resolution I use off gaming or it has nothing to do with it?
whatever the refresh is set to here is the max the refresh rate will go up to. So if it's 60hz then it will be 60hz everywhere including games
thank you, I understand that, my question is for G-sync, will it automatically drop my HZ on 2k gaming of 144HZ to 60HZ because my off-gaming is set to 4k 60HZ
i think so yes, whatever is set to in advanced display is what will be set globally
so I should turn G-Sync off then?
so that i have two settings, for gaming and for off gaming basically
because I ahave auto G-sync from my monitor is by default it is always on
could try it, see how it feels for you
Do you know any musicals starring John Krasinski?
@thick stump feels about the same, nothing has changed on my 2k gaming with g-sync off
set the refresh in game too?
in game is always 2k 144HZ, off game is 4k 60HZ, G-SYNC ON and OFF, I cannot tell if it actually brings down the 144hz to 60hz or G-Sync's purpose is not that, it is a bit confusing and I don't know who can answer this question, where is Linus?:)
Sounds weird that not playing games your resolution doubles but your refresh cuts in half.
Doesn't G Sync only work when playing games?
I mean, you can always check the nvidia control panel
g-Sync works all the time but G-Sync synchronizes frames of whatever you are doing with your monitor, so if i am playing game on 2k 144HZ, how I understand it is that it will synch with my seeting off-gaming of 60HZ because it is in 4k in off gaming, I want to confirm if that is correct or not?
it likely does change then
Might be you have gsync set up for full screen only
You can change that in control panel
I play games on full screen, I want the reverse, G-Sync only on Windowed
then make sure -Enable for windowed and fullscreen is enabled
I don't want full screen, full screen I want to use the higher HZ of the game
because I am playing it on 2k
You can turn off g sync at the individual game level
Manage 3D settings, pick the game from the program list
Change monitor technology to toggle off gsync to a fixed rate or program controlled.
So I just have to go back in time seven years? Sweet.

Overpriced puff pieces and artificial personality constructs. Magazines that represent the very worst in a culture of machining humanity.
Then we can maybe burn down TMZ
mmm "news"
I had no idea that cereal companies were arguing a first amendment right to lie about the health of their products to consumers in court cases trying to block FDA requiring them to remove claims their cereals were healthy from the product labelling. Now I feel worse about these companies overall.
It's like an oil company complaining their reputation is being besmirched because people are complaining they're being killed by oil spills.
loading your 'healthy' foods with sugar isn't healthy
Florida is trying to pass a bill that will make it illegal for people to discuss menstrual cycles in schools
Reminds me of all those times insurance companies tried to avoid paying out for their role in disasters by claiming individuals died from things other than the fire inhalation or carcinogenic chemicals
because the state is run by morons elected by other morons who are all terrified of a few men wearing dresses
how ridiculous it would be to have health classes that would assist girls through puberty
right 🤦♂️
huge and likely a scary part of a young girls life, a better understanding through being educated would surely make it that little easier
just hope the parents take the time to educate instead (which they probably should as well, anyway)
Maybe they're trying to create a psychosis to dumb down their state and force people backwards along the development of equality in their culture. Florida is big on the anti-woke-ness.
theyre also trying to make dressing in drag illegal, which is funny since republicans are supposed to be big on small government that doesnt restrict freedom of expression
Kinda weird, to think someone might want to go backwards in equality so badly that they'd be willing to literally make their countrymen stupid and more reliant on government assistance, at the same time claiming to want less government involvement
but that's neither here nor there....
I tire so quickly of watching an electoral system that operates like a pageant
I think that's why so many people hate politics.
It's become so, if not always been so easily - perversed
I miss Jack Layton 😦
back on the road
I do like that song
think i might skip on the driving today and walk the school run instead, it's too nice atm
plus my son will get to ride his scooter home
I’d say do it if it’s nice out.
ye, been wet cold and miserable for what feels like a long time
This week is going to be pretty good. A little rain here and there but, spring showers
14c today whatever that is in fahrenheit
like…
57 according to google
warm-ish for us Brits 😛
It's warm here, but I'm Canadian...and I consider even lower temperatures warm
I believe it
It's 3 degrees celsius here.
Meanwhile I can stand 110 degrees Fahrenheit
Good t shirt weather as long as you're doing something to get your blood flowing
it reached just over 40c last year and it was quite unbearable
with the humidity thrown in too
Nice and warm
record temps for us
ye was like that here
our little insulated houses aren't built with those temps in mind especially as the majority of us don't have AC
Jeez
I remember one year the summers were so dry and hot here that the province issued a sort of ordinance or some sort of thing requiring people to water their plants that were outside due to danger of spontaneous combustion
Had a few house fires from people whose plants went on fire
jeez
it's california that suffers from wildfires almost every year right?
Thing is, the flash point is super high for shit like that. In order to score that temperature, the suns heat had to have been reflecting off shit and getting focused
ye don't keep mirrors in your windows
did this with my glasses 😄
lol
One time it was so hot here it was burning some plastic on the truck.
I was working in hospitality when I heard on the news of one couple whose dash board had signs of melting due to exposure to focused light
The symbol on the side of it was melting.
or those little glass ornaments that create a perfectly hot beam of fire 😄
real.
Spaaaaaaaaaaaaace cat
we had the tarmac here become quite soft
Is that like road surface?
ye
Crushed rock mixed with tar
Toronto paid a contractor to use cheap shit for road resurfacing one year a decade ago, turns out that cheap shit was not properly graded for the heat those roads get and the tar melted like molasses in the sun
gets very soft and sticky when warmed up
pisses me off when you see people walk their dogs across it
Believable, it’s tar
I’ve had to roof many houses in my neighborhood before I left
Tarrr
It was not just tar, but yeah it was tar
i think even at 30c it starts to get quite sticky
😳
I figure if you're too cold at 26c, you need more fat
I’d just open a few windows
lucky your gas prices aren't sky high
...and I feed you
True how high are they in Canada?
My gas is about $70-80 a month
Highest I've had to pay was $110
it's gotten ridiculous in the UK
some people couldn't even keep the heating on due to rising costs
I don't know if I could go without gas.
I only use gas for heating and my hot water tank
Where I’m moving its propane to heat up most stuff I’m pretty sure
My oven is electric. I could probably use that - but I'd see a steep increase in electricity costs
And also, something they don’t have in the South compared to the North is a Water Softener
I had the air cycle tested in my house to determine how many thermals were escaping due to poor circulation. Turns out my home is incredibly well insulated.
96% whatever they measured
So the loss was for the entire house 4% of temperature due to possible leaks
They said that could be an error though because there are other things that absorb heat and thermals
walls, ceilings, floors
Just the type of floor tiles make a difference
Above 90% sounds good to me
Is there a hillbilly easy way of telling if you have hard water?
I got no idea if I do.
and my knowledge base for it is the equivalent of a hillbilly
pretty lucky in the UK to have good water straight from the tap
All I know is hard water has a ton of minerals in it.
The South just doesnt have basements for all that stuff.
hard water is the amount of iron and other things it contains i think?
Ah, I see.
Yeah I just had to fo that for the first time a few weeks ago.
Didn’t even know that existed
Like, I’ve never seen a house down there with a basement.
It’s on the beach so it makes sense.
I like my basement
we don't really have basements
But even inland
Having a place to store people in the event of a horrible storm is nice
Yeah just here anyways, every place so far I’ve seen where it snows probably has a basement.
The basement isnt finished and a wall is cracked.
Gonna fix it up for my grandmother while we are there.
dry wall cracked or foundation?
Foundation, it’s gonna be expensive.
yeek
Yeah, theres no walls on there, just wooden supports, it never got finished.
I mean...is it on a large enough area that you would need to offset the load baring area?
Once we fix it we will actually put drywall down there and stuff
And oh yeah, the yard is massive.
It's insane the amount of work they do to fix those things
i wonder what Sean Murrays house looks like 🤔
Depending on the project, it may require them to dig out the dirt outside of the wall just to prevent collapsing
