If you use water from your water pouch to bless an ankh then it provides a resurrection in the same place with all of your gear.

I have a Chamorro coworker who had a whole rant on how Hawaiian pizza should have spam instead of ham and how awesome spam is. I think it’s safe to add the people of Guam to your list.

A new version of Mbin was released I think yesterday. Maybe it has something to do with the update.

Is registration for fedia.io currently working? I’ve trying to set up an account for a couple of days. When I fill out the registration page and hit “register” nothing happens.

There is some variation by state but in the US almost all licensed medical professionals are required to participate in continuing education to keep their license.

Top Gun for the nes. I never actually finished the first mission. I could beat Mike Tyson but that aircraft carrier kicked my ass.

Mortgage payments cover insurance and taxes in addition to the mortgage itself. Unless you have a variable rate mortgage the portion of the payment going to the loan doesn’t change but the amount needed to cover taxes and insurance can.

It has to be the early 90’s, he was born in 1980 and looked like this in 1998.

A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it

Brooklyn is in New York. Also, actual book bans are unconstitutional under the first amendment. What these laws do is prohibit state funded entities like public schools and public libraries in the state from having the books available. The books are still available in privately owned places.

Have you seen South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut?

Blame Canada! It isn’t a real country anyway.

Try Tucker and Dale Vs Evil. It’s a similar kind of horror comedy.

I prefer that everything that touches my skin to be woven cotton. I don’t like tight clothes and wicking material is evil. Knit, polyester, or those sweat clothes that have a fuzzy inside are itchy and aggravating but wicking material is pure concentrated evil in physical form. What’s most comfortable is a tee and gym shorts. Jeans replace the gym shorts to go out. If I have to dress up I typically wear dress pants from a “work brand” like Dickies because they are a bit thicker and looser than most dress pants.

Also for more active hobbyists Harbor Freight can be improved to be good tools. Things like replacing a cheap drive belt with a better quality belt is all some of their tools need. Searching some tool blogs can tell you if a tool is fixable or just trash.

You remember the static that was on tv channels with no broadcast signal? That completely overwhelms my brain and pressure builds in the back of my head until it feels like it’s going to explode.

Was diagnosed in kindergarten but parents didn’t want the stigma, the school said I was too high functioning for anything to be done, and it was small town Appalachia so the diagnosis just disappeared. I was diagnosed with Asperger’s in my early twenties. I imagine I’m a similar age to you based on when Asperger’s became a diagnosis.

Introducing, from the makers of bigot chicken, bigot TV!

I suppose you could add the detail that the Federation was actually agreeing to provide a certain amount of energy to the Barzans.

That’s pretty much what I was saying, maybe I didn’t say it well.

A Federation credit is a right to use a certain amount of energy on a Federation replecator. So if a non Federation group wanted to get 10k self sealing stem bolts from the Federation then Starfleet would look up the energy requirement to replicate the stem bolts and divide that by how much energy is represented by one credit and that’s how many credits the group would have to use to get the stem bolts.

This is head cannon and I can’t really support it in universe but it’s the only way the Federation economy makes sense to me.

Every Federation citizen gets an energy allotment that they can use to replicate anything that they need. The allotment is well beyond what’s required to meet their basic needs. A Federation Credit is an allotment of a certain amount of energy that the holder can use to have the Federation replication something for them. The credits aren’t particularly valuable to Federation citizen living in Federation controlled space because they are already allotted a large amount of energy.

Kbin has upvote, downvote, and boost. Boost comes from the microblogging side, kbin does both content aggregation like Lemmy and microblogging like Mastodon. On the content aggregation side boost counts as 2 upvotes and it functions as normal for the microblogging side. Kbin.social is the only Kbin instance I used, I expect that it works the same on other Kbin instances and on Mbin but I don’t know for sure.
