Yeah, like others have said, play them in order starting with 1. If you play them backwards or out of order, you aren't very likely to finish the first one, maybe the second, the first is kind of a slog, but worth playing. This way they just get better each time you go to the next

Then they'll target OSHA saying they're trying to keep honest workers from doing their job, a liberal construct designed for lazy people.

I've worked construction for 8 years and employers don't honestly care about following OSHA standards, they only care about getting caught. I've made reports before and nothing happens because they lie about conditions or dress it up. And I was in a union as well.

Responsibility for access to adult content needs to fall to the parents of minors, not the companies. I'm so exhausted seeing parents responsibilities being shirked and placed onto other entities/people.

My son, 7, gets so upset with me and my wife because we are so unfair, because we don't let him do/watch/play things his friends do. He's 7, he doesn't need to be playing Call of Duty, he doesn't need to be watching inappropriate content, he doesn't need access to TikTok, and so on. I'm forcing my kid to be alienated from his friends because the other parents are allowing children to access things they should not be accessing.

I'm getting all worked up on my soap box, sorry. That wasn't necessary.

My provider keeps screwing me with estimated readings in excess of $400+, when my actual usage has been consistently under $200/mo. Granted they do credit the average when they actually take a real reading, I'm not a loan company and I'm getting frustrated overpaying.

I tried posting to the Minecraft subreddit, but the post would get deleted immediately. I just want to show someone!

It's mostly silent, minus the dispensers clicking and occasional water splash, but it's much smoother than a flying machine, and not to terribly slow, rising at a little over 2 blocks per second. It's a good way to transport things vertically

I have a couple sites on Google and since they sold to square space I thought I'd try to keep my stuff there. But I can't figure it out. Square space is a site builder with a GUI and I can't find anywhere to just deploy my site to them as a react app. I have found a few areas where I can add some code, but they are for specific areas of the provided templates. I've even tried to use developer mode, but it looks like you still need to follow their template rules to get anywhere.

It's been a huge headache, Google made it so easy.

My first inclination is a recluse, but I'm aware of how many people get that wrong what with all the similar looking spiders around here.

My son loves the adrenaline rush of getting scared, particularly with jump scares, however, I have a lot of difficulty finding a game or show which is appropriate for him. He is prone to nightmares, and more adult-oriented "kid horror" is too much (Poppy's Playtime, Cartoon Cat?) And others like Siren Head. His peers exposed him to those things and made my own nights pretty sleepless for a while.

It's a tough plate to fill, but surely there's gotta be something. He's played Luigi's Mansion and got a kick out of that. That game would be a good example I suppose.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Take car. Go to mum's. Kill Phil, grab Liz, go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over.

I know I'm playing this very late. Anyway I was pretty deep in a certain cave (1,200 ft) with a leviathan and I was taking care of some stowaways on the hull of the sub. Thinking it'd be more fun to use the cannon instead of the knife, I blasted away. A couple seconds later I watched in horror as all my lockers clip through the cyclops and sink to the bottom.

The leviathan would attack on every pass and the lockers would either get blasted away even farther apart or respawn entirely. In the end, they all despawned... I was working on building a base with a platform shield over top so I could collect everything again, but it all went poof.

Luckily, I saved within the last 30 minutes... But if I hadn't have, I would have lost all the resources (about 40+ lockers full) and I probably would have just quit the game lol.

I have looked at Google Cloud Run, Microsoft Azure and Kamatera so far. These are free trials, and I deleted and removed all projects after playing with them.

I am working on a chatting application for my portfolio. I'm using MERN to create the app and I can run it locally and connect to the local server with any device on the network. Before I got into this I didn't realize setting up a cloud server was going to be so confusing, and that's after trying to watch tutorials on youtube and going through documentation.

On google, people have talked about VM Instances, (Bare Metal Solution?) Servers, networks, VPC's, VPC Networks, serverless VPC, etc. and I have explored all of these things and I just don't understand why it's so hard to get a node.js file running somewhere remote.

Microsoft Azure and Kamatera were pretty much the same experience.

I'm not the smartest or faster person, I've got cognitive issues, but if anyone can kind of give me some simple steps or explanations to get me started in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.

I don't need a complete write-up or guide, just a push in the right direction for my specific project, which is just getting my node.js code somewhere so the client can connect to through it. I think?

We are animals engineered to eat meat. It is natural for humans to do so. Killing an animal has nothing to do with morality. How and why it's done does

Come on, guy, are you farming for an argument? You aren't helping your case by being abrasive

[-] reric88@beehaw.org 9 points 2 years ago

Eating animals isn't the problem, necessarily. It's how the animals are grown and raised like crops is the problem. I have a weird stance on this that looks very contradicting. Humans are animals, and we are engineered to include meat in our diets. However, I don't agree with how the majority of us access that meat.

I'm a strong believer in hunting for food, not sport. If you're going to eat an animal, you should work for it. And be thankful. Doesn't matter what beliefs you hold, you owe thanks to what the animal has provided you.

Meat farms are disgusting. But there's no way they will ever go away. They're much too profitable for companies to give up.

I would have probably landed somewhere besides reddit. I considered and tried 3 different options, (Lemmy being the third) and stayed here because I was very pleased by the beehaw community. And it's very similar to reddit, which made the transition easier.

I'm doing my best to ditch reddit, and haven't used it since they announced the API pricing

I love his videos, especially the video about his toaster. I've actually spent time trying to find that exact toaster at yard sales

Glad to know I was here and did my part by reading this post. We couldn't have succeeded without me!🫡

Same, but I refuse to give them my traffic.

Yes, but if you fire a spez from a canon into the sun, but no one can see him enter the sun, then does he actually get harmed? No one knows, especially if he never returns!
