Heavily armed ICE agents to be stationed at all polling places "to prevent illegal immigrants voting".

Calling it now.

You have a good ol' rummage around in there, see who you find?

There's a human need to make some kind of impact on others. Some people do it by building up - posting positivity, or creating art, or whatever. Others do it by tearing down - posting insults, or vandalism, and so on.

The negative path is much, much easier.

Way back in the early 1980's my class at school went on an exchange trip to, er, Poitiers I think.

One day we were visiting the school of the French kids who we would later be hosting. There was a French boy at the far end of the table I was sitting at who ate his meal but, instead of eating the orange he had, he started making little incisions into the skin, just far enough to get to the flesh of the orange.

I wondered if this was some crazy French way of eating orange so I kept on watching as he worked his way around the orange. He must have made nearly a hundred little incisions. Then he looked around the canteen, stood up, and hurled the orange, full strength at another kid. The orange hit the other boy on his upper chest and just exploded!

Shortly after that, food was going everywhere. A few kids ducked out of the canteer as soon as it started but the rest just started hurling whatever was left on their trays at each other. Naturally, being a keen francophile and wanting to learn more about French culture, I joined in. Good times.

I have an HP printer. The HP app on my laptop used to be able to scan documents and so on. Last time I opened it, the only way to use this was to scan my document into the HP Cloud and then download it from there. Fuck. That. Shit.

Fortunately my PDF reader can initiate the scan directly, so I'll be just deleting that HP app.

I read about one of his billion dollar yachts when it was seized. Apparently it costs over one million dollars to fill the fuel tank. Think about that next time you're at the pump!

Obv., brigading is completely wrong and evil and I would never support or countenance such a thing, and Epstein probably did it a lot, but over on that link there's a question about non American sodas.

Just putting it out there.

People will read it or not.

People will react or not.

We all have agency.

I misread the title of the post from yesterday, thought it was eighteen dollars, not one billion dollars. Got me wondering.

Times are hard, the cost of living is rising, and so, like many people, I'm trying to cook cheaper meals for the family. I recently did the Piri-piri chicken wing, wedges and corn traybake from BBC Food.

Wings are cheap, potatoes are cheap, and corn isn't crazy expensive. The limes were probably the most extravagent ingredient. Total price, probably £2-£3 per person.

It was great, and the family all enjoyed it. To the point where it would go on the regular rotation even if we had suitcases full of cash stashed around the place!

What are your best economical recipes that aren't just beans, chickpeas, and rice? Meals you actively looks forward to, rather than just a budget way of getting calories inside you?

On my list for the coming week:

  • Carbonara
  • Sausage and mash with onion gravy
  • Chicken Quesadillas
  • Mac and Cheese with salad
  • Spicy black bean tacos
  • Stir-fried tofu
  • Slow cooker leek and potato soup

I can supply recipes for any of these.

My WiFi is ‘Secret Rebel Base’.

My neighbours have added ‘Jabba the Hub’, ‘Obi Lan Kenobi’, and ‘Red WiFi-ve Standing By’. This makes me happy.

Anyone else live in a neighbourhood that embraces this kind of WiFi silliness?

Er, the title pretty much explains. My wife listens to podcasts and falls asleep to them but I can't not listen to a human voice so I listen to (ideally instrumental) music.

Anyone else? If so, what do you put on to drift away to?

Best edition for a TTRPG (upload.wikimedia.org)
submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk to c/warhammer40k@lemmy.world

Many years ago I ran a couple of TTRPG mashups of Warhammer 40k and Dune. The emperor was much the same as 40k, the Sardaukar were marines, the Bene Gesserit were a plot manifested by Tzeentch, the Butlerian Jihad explained the lack of computers, etc., etc. It was - if I do say so myself - pretty awesome.

Now my kids are getting into role-playing and not interested in fantasy so I'm thinking about reviving my old mashup for them.

In the old days I used the 1st ed. Rogue Trader rules which seemed like the beginnings of an awesome TTRPG before Games Workshop committed fully to selling lead, then plastic, figures for skirmish wargames.

Is there a newer version of Warhammer 40k that is still TTRPG focussed, or should I dust off my old, loose-leaf copy of 1st ed. and work from that?
