I’m not using my chefs knife most of the time either, but I sure as fuck am not going to walk to the community chef knife repository every time I want to use one.

My shower only sees 10 minutes of use a day, do I need to remove half of my bathroom and share with a dozen people so we aren’t over producing fiberglass showers?

How about my vacuum? I only use that about once a week, probably shouldn’t even own one of those either. I’ll just pop on down to grab a vacuum when someone else isn’t using it, maybe make a schedule for who gets to use one and when for max efficiency, like a vacuum library.

It’s not like they wear out sitting there for a week, they wear out when they get used. I would agree that the race to the bottom in quality is bad, and more people should have durable repairable machines that don’t hook up to the wifi, but I don’t think that a non-consumable utility like a washing machine is bad for people to own and use.

Yeah all 12 of them XD. Really taking the temp of the population there.

Nobody’s mentioned Rinworld yet, I played like 15 hours over the weekend, getting one of the endings for the Anomaly DLC. My current goal is to get everybodys genetics locked in, and everyone getting bionic limbs before I sell the place for an archotech shard.

I was also going to pitch his books, and I haven’t even read all of them. They are very solid fantasy books, and he just keeps writing bangers at an unusual pace. My favorite part of books is magic systems, and all the flavors they come in, idk if that is something you’ve found you like yet.

“that’s a pirated copy I’m playing locally, not live tv”.

He didn’t wish for the death of a president. He’s not the president. Idiot.

Hey currently religious rules include: -Eating scaleless fish or seafood is forbidden, but actually shrimp is ok but crab is not. -Wearing clothing made of two different fibers is a sin. -Don’t cook a young goat in its mothers milk.

So I’m not about to assume what might be considered a non-issue to any specific religious community.

I’ve seen brass colored on some older plugs.

"Animals must be alive and healthy at the time of slaughter and all blood is drained from the carcass. During the process, a Muslim will recite a dedication, know as tasmiya or shahada.

There is debate about elements of halal, such as whether stunning is allowed.

Stunning cannot be used to kill an animal, according to the Halal Food Authority (HFA), a non-profit organisation that monitors adherence to halal principles. But it can be used if the animal survives and is then killed by halal methods, the HFA adds. “” -BBC article.

But "UK Food Standards Agency figures from 2011 suggest 84% of cattle, 81% of sheep and 88% of chickens slaughtered for halal meat were stunned before they died. "

So it means that the method of slaughter must be exactly as specified, and whether stunning is allowed or not is up for debate. I see that “healthy” is not specific, so a brain damaged or anesthetized animal may not count. I really feel like a religion shouldn’t have such power over the meat industry, at least to the detriment of best practices. I can see a future where Halal practicing people won’t/can’t eat perfected lab grown meats because they are not technically halal, leading to an increase in animal suffering.

Regardless, it is an interesting conversation for not just animal rights, but other religions. Is it forbidden to eat “blessed” (or cursed) meat if you are from another religion? I can’t imagine non-religious people care too much, but plenty of people believe in the power of prayer and vibes or black magic or whatever and if everything made at KFC has a prayer infusion then there might not be any reason to eat at a KFC for some groups.

While I also like the idea of a separate second “internet” I feel like this is just another ID check requirement. It would still be better than a porn token wallet I guess. Either there would be an identity tied to all traffic from an access point(still a privacy problem) , or the access points themselves would have to be like, kept away from children or something somehow. Parental locks?

Yep, a microwave emits orders of magnitude more signal strength than any control system will. My microwave at home, even closed, leaks enough to introduce noise in my wireless headphones if I stand close.

Looks like kingdom come deliverance and Witcher 3 are on sale, the “game of the year” editions. Both are good, though Kingdom Come is a bit more of a specific taste.
