Zombies of the Stratosphere is a cheesy 1952 sci-fi movie starring a young Leonard Nimoy as a Martian henchman.

Don't make promises when you're happy; don't make decisions when you're sad.

A question I've struggled with my whole life. Some people are really good liars.

I knew someone IRL like that. Genuinely nice guy face-to-face, but never passed up the chance to take a swipe at someone online. As time went by his conduct and attitudes made it clearer and clearer that he's dealing with undiagnosed mental health issues.

Means lift some of the mixture with your spoon, turn it over and press it in again. It's a technique for mixing without squeezing the air out, so it will rise in the oven.

I'd make pretty good odds on 'American Patriot' being Musk himself.

If you think Australia or New Zealand are joining an attack on Canada, you're very much mistaken.

12-year old single malt scotch. I bought a bottle as a birthday gift for a friend and we shared a glass.

He decided he didn't like the taste and drank the rest with coke, so obviously next time I'll buy him a bottle of turpentine and a monogramed shot glass.

I'm specifically talking about dead celebrities. People like to point out that HP Lovecraft was racist, Gary Gygax was sexist and Clark Gable was fascist. All true and well-known, but it's much too late to change their minds about it. Whereas racism, sexism and fascism are going on outside our windows right now and can still be affected.

The moral failings of celebrities and creators who've been dead for decades.

Save your outrage for things that are happening now, that you still have a chance to change.

Same. Especially if the post is a vague heading and a link with nothing else.

Abundance. Everything looks smaller in the rear view mirror. As someone who's been in both decades, it actually feels a lot like the 80s all over again.

Mine is beard pills. Because some days feel like beard days and some don't.

I'm currently at a boardgame convention and while I'm pretty ignorant about the hobby, I've seen some nice looking tokens here.

Damage by weapon rating instead of making a separate damage roll. Yes or no?

I'm working on a personal project that involves calculating the mean, median and mode of word length in a series of poems. I've imported the first into LibreOffice Calc as a CSV, and have about 600 cells of word lengths.

Calc has Average, Median and Mode functions, but they only accept 255 inputs each. I could split the cells into batches of three and then work with those results, but it feels like that would only let me calculate the overall mean, not the other two figures.

So firstly, am I even using the right tool for this? Maybe there's a better way than using a spreadsheet. And secondly, if a spreadsheet is the best tool, is there a way I can do the calculations I need?

Either all at once, or over a lifetime?

My position is that it's a snack and husband tax must be paid. My wife is arguing that it's a meal or occupies some third food space and it's entirely hers. Who's right, court of Lemmy?

To explain what I mean, I think you can level up a cooking style. For example, pasta. At level 1, you're boiling dried pasta and adding sauce out of a jar. At level 1, you add your own spices. Level 3, switch to fresh pasta. Level 4, make your own sauce. And finally at level 5, make the pasta from scratch.

So with BBQ, I guess level 1 would be cooking the meat so it's neither burnt nor underdone. Maybe level 2 is mixing different meats/cuts that have different heat/time requirements and cooking well. Further levels = ?
