I always thought Venice looked like a handshake.

I suppose for people in the office, it means everyone else has fucked off and the week is basically a wash.

This game was sort of before my time. Got to experience 2 on a beefy gaming PC, so I’m hyped for the zombie mode.

As I was playing 2, I was constantly thinking to myself: “this would be a prime game to mod some zombies into”. Was surprised to hear they’d already done it in 1.

Hopefully they ported it well.

Couldn’t think of a more lemmy thread topic than one involving both Russian geopolitics and linux.

Any sources that aren’t The Jerusalem Post - whose source in the article isn’t “Israeli Media”? Cannot find any other sources that match this ‘30 Truck’ number.

If you’re considering building your own firewall, you’ve started down a long path of homelabbing. I’d encourage you to start with a proper setup and allow yourself plenty of room to grow. You want your setup to be extensible, and the firewall is just the beginning.

I’d grab at least a 15U rack and a Dell poweredge R210. Throw in a gigabit nic and install OPNsense. You’ll have room for your switches, NAS, UPS, etc… later.

nobody tried to sneak in front the west

Notice the inflection point where Mao comes in.

Remind me how they stopped Hitler.

Where did you learn this galaxy-brained level state craft?

Ripping up sewer lines should be treated as biological warfare.

Sure, the US has an advantage in raw number of immigrants versus China. No one is arguing that.

My point is that touting “our melting-pot-loving leaders” versus “their Han-supremacist demagogues” at the height of your unprecedented devolution into fascism isn’t quite the own you think it is.

Was there supposed to be some argument or statement attached to this source, or…?

Have you… have you seen how Americans have been talking about the border? Especially this election cycle? I don’t know if would characterize either party’s constituencies as “receptive”.

Still waiting

People in the know who make big yellow equipment have taken note of the massive, unprecedented uptick in militarized machine sales to the middle east. Graders, specifically. They’re planning on paving over everything.

Humans don’t necessarily become afraid of large bodies of water while infected with rabies.

Rabies takes away your ability to drink water and swallow, and attempting to drink feels like you’re choking. I think this leads some patients to have an aversion to water despite being dangerously thirsty. They try to drink the water best they can, but they just choke on it.
