For me: I am one of the foremost experts on Team Fortress 2 video recording/editing and automated clip gathering within tf2 specifically. Even more specifically within the context of competitive play but the knowledge applies to casual play as well.

I have always done some kind of work out in my life, however, as of the last two years i’ve stopped caring about it and had no interest in it. I did swimming from 4 to 14 years old, and from 14 to 16 i went to the gym pretty constantly, but now as an 18 year old i don’t do anything. I’ve found myself missing swimming, but mostly just giving up on the gym because i stopped finding enjoyment in it. However i am well aware that i should probably do something, it’s just very hard to want to do it in the first place. I don’t really care about being strong or handsome, but i’ve always been overweight since i was a little kid and even tho i’m on a diet, i struggle with losing weight and the advice is always “go to the gym”. How do YOU manage to find motivation to work out?

Do you use a brown bag, or do you have an actual lunchbox? Is it insulated? How much food do you bring, and what types of food?

Thanks in advance, I'm super interested by this type of relatively mundane stuff.

For myself I usually bring some kind of sandwich in a paper bag, nuts/dried fruit in the bags they come in from the store, and tea in a thermos. All of those things in my backpack.

Or refuse to buy

EDIT: Solved.

It's a melody called "Playmates."

This is a melody from a music box I remember as a child but I can't find out what it's called. I pieced together what I could remember using an online music box music maker program.

Do you recognize this melody?

Here is my best guess at music notation:

A#4-G4-G4-A4-G4-F4-A#4-D4

F4-G4-F4-F4-C5-A4

F4-G4-F4-F4-D5-A#4

A#4-A#4-A#4-A#4-G4

G4-A4-G4-F4-A#4-D4

F4-G4-F4-F4-C5-A4

F4-G4-A4-A#4

Forgive the crudity of the recording. This was made after I spent an hour or so piecing together what I could remember. I am not musically inclined.

All the sound sample websites failed to help me surprisingly. ****

Also, if the area became a National Park, what compromises might need to be made in the park and how would it alter existing infrastructure?

Admittedly a risky crosspost, but cannot find conflicting community rules. I believe the possible discussion justifies it.

Or 'What is PeerTube lacking that you simply cannot do without?'

I believe it's a safe assumption that fediverse users want to move away from the monopolies and closed gardens so often associated with video streaming, and yet it's not a task that's ever been made easy. Maybe an ounce of inspiration is the cue we need, and so my question to you is; What's Stopping you from using PeerTube?

I realise this is a tricky topic and I hope it's ok to ask this question. I genuinely want to hear how AI has changed people lives for the better. If you really hate AI I get it, but this isn't a question for you then. Thank you and it's all love.

(Edit: Thank you to all the positive commenters and for sticking with me through the inevitable negativity. Lots of really interesting comments in here 😁 We mustn't let ourselves be intimidated by those who would try to forbid us from having these conversations. Thanks again)

How would militaries and governments react ??

Writing a short story and was going to have a cartel in it

A counter question to the guy who posted a similar question few hours ago, cause most of the answers weren't helpful for someone like me, who doesn't have much money😅.

I'm a going as a social butterfly. I got a cute rainbow monarch wing cape thing at the renfair and I am going to print social media logos and tape them to a shirt. It's cheap, cute, and funny lol.

and if they are does that mean they are constantly being raped for years like do they like it or are living a living hell every day?

I'm pondering a move, and I'm interested in what things people like and what factors y'all consider important.

or best advice

including in person stores

Everything that takes the mind off of all the stress of contemporary life.

I just had this (terrible?) idea of running a Dnd campaign but via lemmy. Im hopped up on cold medicine so maybe this wouldnt really work but i was thinking itd be like those long running chess matches. Just kinda come by and make a move whenever. Thered be a community for it and youd make a post describing your char. Then id make a thread describing the campaign setting an shit and a comment to start it off. People reply with what they wanna do, i tell em to roll or what happens.

Idk if this type of post falls under the support rule just delete if no good.

Id love to hear peoples thoughts on how to make this work or not. What would be the pain points? How to make it easier to follow along chronologically with all the threads/replies of players?

Edit: are there dice rolling bots for lemmy? It might be prudent to put a d20 roll at the end of saying what youre attempting. Otherwise the turn around from ‘i wanna do x’ ‘ok roll [skill]’ ‘i rolled a 17’ ‘heres what happens’ might be real tedious. Could also see that influencing what people say they wanna do tho…

Edit2: i made a thing LemND

We all like to think we are smart, independent, in full control of our lives, and there is no way any of us would fall for a financial scam, like those lonely old seniors do, because “that happens to them, not to me, because I am smart.”

But the truth is, even smart people fall for it, people with master degrees, people who work in academia, people running large business… Even I could fall for this.

And how did you learn to recognize it?

There used to be these websites, and I was never quite sure if they're scammy or not.
Anyhow I haven't used them for a long time.

But now I looked at my favorite airline's prices and they're somewhat higher than I remember and I wonder what's the best way to go hunting.

I'll need two flights between EU countries in a bit over one month.

TIA!

edit: Thanks. Nothing changed, except the prices overall. The cheapest flights usually involve long layovers, the known cheap-offer-sites offer the same prices as the airlines themselves. Once again, I'll just book with our regional airline because they're the only one offering non-stop flights. I'm not sitting for hours in some foreign airport if I have a few extra credits to spend on the direct flight.

Let me explain here, as just one example. There was a tv show that was broadcast in the late 2000’s - early 2010’s. About 5-6 years ago, right when I felt nostalgic and wanted to watch it again, the tv show in question was pulled from all major streaming services, and DVDs of the show were not produced (or if they were, I was never able to get my hands on them). The only way that this cartoonish show was watchable for a time was via second-hand archives on YouTube, dailymotion, etc. However, despite the fact that the show was made inaccessible, the copyright holder’s official website states even to this day that the show is copyright, which means that unofficial uploads on YouTube should be in violation of copyright (the YouTube channels were just amateurish accounts and not credible, official accounts, just to be clear). As such, it was ambiguous as to whether the production company was going to lease the rights to the show. Whilst interest in the show has gone now, it did make me wonder: is it ever justifiable (either legally or ethically, or morally) to pirate media that has been completely pulled from circulation despite the original owner maintaining copyright (and therefore ownership) of? Or, is it (legally, ethically or morally) justifiable to pirate media where the copyright status is ambiguous (i.e. you don’t know if anyone owns it) [classic case study I always hear about: British PSAs, icons of 70’s 80’s and 90’s kids childhoods, yet locked behind copyright doors whose keys may lie in the hand of legal ambiguity]

A few weeks ago, I posted about a memory of a tv show I had when I was younger, and to my surprise, we got a positive identification of what it was. That incident brought back memories of other fragments of tv shows I remember seeing once, but since they were shows I didn’t watch regularly (usually they were just playing in the background and I would look up and sort of watch parts of the episodes), and one of the most vivid ones that I cannot find, I will be asking about today.

The basic premise of this show was that it was a hybrid of live action and cartoon (not uncommon in the era of kids shows that we are looking at tbf). I think that the main character was a cartoon, but everyone else was live action. Remember those shows like Art Attack where the show would have fictionalised elements but then there would also be more realistic elements where the host of the show would go out and interview real people (not sure Art Attack is the best example tbf)? This show had that sort of premise, only that it was edited to make it look like the cartoon character was conducting the interviews.

Now the specific episode I remember was themed around twins. I remember that the story was the main cartoon character had an evil twin (also cartoon animated) and the main cartoon character went out and interviewed these twin girls. I think he asked them each to think of a number and then to say it out loud, to test whether it was true that twins thought alike, or something. The episode ended with a ‘to be continued’ screen and the main cartoon and his evil twin both groaned that the episode ended on a cliffhanger (if I remember correctly, the evil twin broke out into a comically bad song with lyrics like ‘I just hate it when they do that’ or something like that.)

Now before I finish, I’ve asked this question on other forums before, so I want to rule out some common suggestions that definitely are not the show:

• The Stanley Dynamic: American show, definitely not this one. It’s the wrong era first of all, and secondly it doesn’t appear that any episode of it was remotely like what I remember.
• ROY: Irish show, similar main character, but completely different in format, premise, etc.
• Andy’s Dinosaur Adventure: I didn’t think I’d have to explain why it couldn’t possibly be this one, but despite that people have suggested it in the past (off the same description mind you) so I’ll just state it clearly here just in case anyone is tempted: it is not this one.

The show I remember, I saw it around the late 2000’s/early 2010’s, and wherever it is from originally, it must have at least been broadcast in the UK around that time, if not having been a UK made show in the first place. Also, I’m fairly sure it was broadcast on CBBC (I could be wrong though, but I remember a CBBC show came on straight after it, unless someone flipped the channel, but I don’t think they did)

If anyone has any idea what this might be, I’d be glad to know. Thanks.
