I want to talk in an American accent but how can I transition into it slowly for people who know me without them noticing a sudden change?

  • As an American this is GOLD and has me gutturally laughing as I stare at my $2,175/month bottle of pills.

  • Maybe not exactly, but... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother_Heroine

    Mother Heroine (Russian: Мать-героиня, Mat'-geroinya) is an honorary title that was used in the Soviet Union and now Russia, awarded for bearing and raising a large family.

    On 15 August 2022 Vladimir Putin signed a decree reviving the honorary title.[2]

    Also Putins intent is to turn Russia back into the Soviet Union so it's not at all surprising he's re-using things like this.

  • I fucking hate n********. Usually. I preferred living in the country. Both of them that I have right now suck. The one to the right of me leaves their pitbull out all night in the snow and I've called animal control multiple times after confronting her and even suggesting I buy her a heated dog house. The new one that just moved in to the left of me walked into my fenced backyard without as much as a knock because he wanted to mess with the fence. Some old Santa looking biker dude.

    George Carlin had a lot to say about this. The 7 Dirty Words.

    Once he read a headline where it said verbatim, ”John McCain to [some politician]: F*** Y**"

    Everyone knows exactly what "F*** Y**" means, no one is unclear and they think it when they read it, but if the paper were to have the words ACTUALLY printed out so people saw them instead of just thinking them? Oh my gosh, the moral dilemma that would bring!

  • If you're in the position to take time off of work OR can work from home, then it's imperative that you work to buy a little here and there for an (ideally at least) ~1 month stock of non-perishable food, water (or sanitation kits if you don't have the space for that much bottled water) and whatever you need day-to-day if you need meds to survive etc, as well as some supplements like vitamin D as you won't be going outside, NAC which has been shown to help with respiratory conditions, antibiotics (can be purchased online without rx, but have a print out of what works for what... they're not a 1 size fits all, and don't use them unless you're absolutely sure you need to)... a stock of N95 respirators (and battery shaver with battery backup, masks need to fit to work) in case you need to go out...

    COVID gave forward-thinkers and planners a good idea of what could happen and what's required if, say, there was an outbreak of foot and mouth disease from Plum Island which is ALL being dismantled and moved to a new facility in Kansas this year, or a new bubonic plague outbreak happens as is expected....

    With the Earth warming (which sometimes means colder winters, but not usually), viruses and bacteria are able to breed faster. It also means animals are migrating to new places, and looking for new food sources potentially closer to humans and other like-animals. With the population of humans on Earth increasing so quickly (we were JUST being amazed at the 7 billion mark being hit, and now it's at 8 billion... exponential growth) that means humans in closer proximity to one another which means faster rates of spread.

    I wouldn't be surprised if we had a multiviral pandemic in the next decade.

  • Are you talking about juul/blu/those kinds that you buy the pods for? Or are you talking about puff bars etc where the entire thing including battery is one unit and you toss it after 1000 hits or whatever like these https://i1.wp.com/aksmokeworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/puff-flow-01.jpg?w=1000&ssl=1

    because blu/Juul/etc suck but disposables cost 3x as much and are so much worse for the environment. Disposable batteries are a level above the detriment to the planet of disposable plastic.

    The single use 1-unit disposables are what are so popular with the teenage crowd, according to my high schooler.

    It's so much more cost effective to spend $20-40 on a good pod mod and buy premium juice online to refill your pod. better for the ocean and 3rd world countries too, all you're throwing away is the 30ml plastic nicotine bottle once every few weeks.

  • It isn't an identity. It's just a thing a person did, for compensation, years ago.

    A thing that only certain people do, and no one outside that small number of people actually realize what it was like and what life is like after. So having a "club" where you can go and hang out with people who actually understand what life was/is like after doing what you did, isn't a bad thing.

    I'll repeat what another member said above:

    The VFW is a club that hopes it withers away from lack of new members.

  • Yeah ChatGPT 3.5 training data only goes to early 2022 I believe, and 4.0 goes to late 2022 or early 2023. So it would need to be a different LLM that was able to be fed articles.

    I found a more up to date article https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/armed-individuals-seize-israeli-managed-oil-tanker-gulf-aden-us-official-2023-11-26/

    Kagi's summarizer feature says 

     
            An unidentified armed group seized a chemical tanker called Central Park in the Gulf of Aden on Sunday. The tanker was carrying a cargo of phosphoric acid.
    Central Park is managed by Zodiac Maritime Ltd, an international ship management company owned by Israel's Ofer family.
    A U.S. defense official and Zodiac Maritime confirmed the seizure. U.S. and coalition forces are monitoring the situation.
    The latest seizure follows attacks on other Israeli-linked vessels in the region in recent weeks by Yemen's Houthi rebels, who are allied with Iran.
    Central Park has a crew of 22 from multiple countries including Russia, Vietnam, Bulgaria, India, Georgia and the Philippines. Their safety is the top priority.
    The UKMTO warned other vessels in the area to exercise caution due to a possible attack in the Red Sea.
    Iran has been blamed by the U.S. for previous unclaimed attacks on ships in the region, which Iran denies.
    Fighting between Israel and Hamas in Gaza has killed over 1,200 Palestinians and 14,000 Gazans since October.
    13 Israelis and 4 Thai hostages held by Hamas were released on Sunday after an aid delivery dispute caused an initial delay.
    The article provides context on regional tensions and ongoing conflicts between Israel, Hamas, Houthi rebels and Iran.

    • stock vs stock cubes + water

  • Basically anything that's watery-ish is fine because it will boil and separate the particles evenly (particles move easier through water than almost any liquid besides some special chemicals iirc) but cream soup is much thicker and has taken up a lot of the potential for free-moving particulate.

    Same goes for anything else. If you can see the water move and behave like water, it should boil and disperse the cubes. Anything that behaves thicker than water risks the cubes not dispersing properly so you risk unexpected salty bites.
