You’re closer to right than you know. This is “The Olive Press” by (in)famous white-Jesus Mormon painter Del Parson. The man paints Jesus through a very, very thick lens of the American Mountain West.
For the record, I had to look up the specific painting, but I grew up LDS, and red-robe white-guy mullet Jesus is a Parson trademark.
Mastodon has a certain level of federated connectivity with Lemmy, but it’s also a Twitter alternative, similar in that way to BlueSky. Lemmy (or mBin) is the Reddit alternative.
The fact that it’s all rehearsed and refined and outlined and stage-managed only makes it slightly less bonkers. This is the face these people are CHOOSING to present to the world.
Gets repetitive after a while, though.
There was existing precedent for a tiny version of Windows that is barely enough to run a single program. The original Windows version of Microsoft Excel came with a runtime version of Windows 2.1, so that customers who didn’t have Windows could still use Excel.
Fun fact, the “DOS” version of AOL did the same thing but with GEOS. Pretty impressive that it all fit on one 1.44MB floppy.
Endless Sky is a lot of fun. I think I’m through all the reasonably complete plotlines, but there’s plenty of different ways to play and self-directed goals to go after.
Learned on Lemmy a couple of weeks ago that Neal Stephenson has a new book out, and I’m still a sucker for them. Polostan is (so far) historical fiction and very readable. The Stephenson-esque infodumps seem to mostly concern the game of Polo and interwar Communism, with healthy dashes of 1930s physics and ranching.
Hush!
Skittles Mini Gingerbread House Kit
The Skittles one is literally visible one box over.
And if they’d done the math wrong, they’d have landed among the stars.
It’s a little pricy, but we absolutely love this Cuisinart Air Fryer/Toaster Over thing for anything that was properly cooked elsewhere, though I’ve used it for halfway decent roasted potato wedges straight from the knife. Basket Air Fryers hold so little as to be more frustrating than anything, and stacking deep defeats the purpose half the time. I have no idea if the grill setting works well, though.
Bake setting, 325, 2-3 minutes is all you need for most pizza reheatings.
The only thing I’ll say there is that with burgers you can sometimes get out over your skis and take a tumble. A lot of sit-down places think some giant watery meatball is a good burger. While photogenic, it is not necessarily good, and a short-order smashed patty or (smashed patties) generally taste a lot better and are easier to eat.
The best burgers are almost certainly not fast food burgers, but the worst burgers aren’t either.
I know it was all simple tricks and nonsense covering up a fairly generic dungeon crawler, and that most people preferred the direction the franchise went afterwards, but as a kid I fell in love with the original Shining in the Darkness. Those sprites were friggin’ HUGE!
But in a centaur, the human torso is placed where the horse neck would be.
Yes, with a perfectly normal human torso. Put a human torso in the same spot and…
BOOOORRRING!! 🤣
I had to look it up too, but it was Victoria. She was great as a celebrity wrangler to make sure they understood the vibe and would roll with the weirdness. I’m not entirely sure we need a Victoria just yet either, LOL.
The !askmeanything@lemmy.ca would be good, as would !asklemmy@lemmy.world or !casualconversation@lemm.ee. Also, I am going to gently push back on the idea that you have to make a new community because Reddit has a similar one. An AMA is not philosophically different from the posts on any of several other text-based-engagement communities. If AMA posts start to crowd out the “original” content, then a new /c is warranted, but we just fragmented everything after the APIpocalypse, and discoverability is still a pain requiring steps that shouldn’t be necessary if people just want to communicate.
Neither. The neck is the long part, and do horse-based centaurs have horse necks?
Giraffe centaurs would be underwhelming.
Well, millers are historically thought of as corrupt. Can’t make ol’ Geoff Chaucer look like a liar.
Incoming Chinese carmaker Xpeng
Australian firm Pegasus Aerospace Corp received airworthiness certification from CASA for its driveable Pegasus E flying police car last year
you would need a pilot’s licence – not simply a car licence – to be able to eventually fly the X2 in Australia.
likely to be bungled in red tape for some time before it could take to the skies
We can take orders… you can secure one with a fully refundable $100 deposit.
So I guess a more accurate headline would be this:
“Australia’s” “first” “flying car” “now” “on sale.”
I’m gonna need some clarifications here. Does the stick/cone/tube go for the ride? How far up the ass does it need to go? Is this a proper insertion or a wedding-cake photo-op mushing situation? If it’s insertion, can the ice cream be modified to fit the butthole, or must the butthole adapt to the ice cream? There’s a lot of moving parts and complex interplay going on.
You’re not wrong, but I was very much regretting my decision to search for giraffe centaurs at all, and Ms. Curly was a safe enough option with the proportions I was trying to communicate.
