this pandemic could be far worse than COVID, even if we had the vaccine research they just defunded.

The (up to) 90% fatality rate in cats that have caught the current strain of bird flu was enough for me to know this could get damn serious

I’ve got a friend who became Orthodox a few years before Russia even invaded Crimea in 2014, he does the fasts. They are hardcore. He’s a good guy and to see how politicized Orthodoxy has become the past decade or so makes me sad, he just believes it’s the correct church, as opposed to Catholicism or Protestants. I can’t say I agree with him but at least some of those Orthodox people are cool. Not all though, I’ve met some who were real tools, and any flavor of Christianity leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Okay, good to hear someone else say this about Spanish. Like how “diez” is much closer to 1 syllable than 2

Replace Russia with Evangelicals and it works too

Can confirm rubbing alcohol can improve your experience with failing phone charge port. I got to the point with one where it wouldn’t charge unless I applied a minuscule amount of alcohol around the metal prong in the phone with a shaved down toothpick before plugging it in. This tip is mentioned exclusively for those trying to extend the life of an end-stage phone and I take no responsibility for any fires or harm to the phone.

That said, there were never any problems when I did it and it extended the phone’s life maybe 8 months, and after a few months it didn’t even need the alcohol. Maybe it improves conductivity or used the charger head to over time clean the phone port. This was a micro-USB charger because I like using 8 year old, $60 phones.

Easy enough to block the sports communities from your feed if you browse c/all if you dont like them. I say someone set up the sports communities and start posting articles to see if we can get more adoption by the sports folks over here. I dont have the patience for sports but more users is good. Some sports people are obnoxious but some certainly aren’t (Bill Bppurr comes to mind) and userbase growth is needed.

I was going to say if he writes an app and doesn’t like it, something’s wrong there

I mean I’ve been getting spam sms texts from email addresses lately so I assume it’s complete phone anarchy now in these late days

John Ashcroft notoriously had the bare-breasted statue of Justice covered up in 2002 (uncovered in 2005) because there were so many public TV appearances at the Justice Department during the worst part of the post-9/11 changes.

Perhaps, perhaps not. But the following verse shows simp to be synonymous with punk (derogatory)

I’m assuming you mean thinner
