I’m still very bitter about the broken electoral reform promise.

As far as TV shows: The Expanse and Foundation. I really want to like them but the first 3-4 episodes left me quite meh. Someone tell me it’s a slow start and gets better?

I tend to put more priority to story line vs special effects or action scenes.

They may sell a package for all streams like the NHL does? Not sure. It’s a 24 game season so would make sense.

 

Can’t wait to support them!

 

Original Six! Looking forward to supporting them.

🫡 Thank you for sending me down a rabbit hole of early Federation days which made me rediscover Tellarites.

I don’t get a ton of satisfaction or have patience learning rules of complex games anymore. I decided to embrace games that have tough choices but with super simple mechanics instead.

Games like Scout, The Crew, Wingspan…easy to teach and fun to master.

I’m with you! The show wasn’t perfect but it was cool to see a crew explore before the prime directive , stable transporters and the federation. Tons of opportunities to explore that further.

 

Hope this is allowed…it’s monthly event that I host. Next event is Tuesday August 8th.

Love solving puzzles? ..with friends? …while having a pint? Come join us for a nerdy night out with friends!

It’s easy…

  1. Form a team (solo puzzlers also welcome)
  2. Solve the location puzzle to find out where we are meeting (posted on the Friday before at www.puzzledpint.com)
  3. Show up. Receive an envelope with a themed pack of puzzles
  4. Solve with your team while having a few pints

It's free, newbie friendly and very laid back. Visit the Puzzled Pint website for more information and to see sample puzzles.

Agreed. I find myself using Siri on walks via AirPods quite a bit. Siri what’s the weather going to be like tonight . Siri what’s in my calendar tomorrow. Siri what’s the latest news. (That opens up podcast app and plays local news I love it. ). Siri let me know when it’s 12:30. I just wish it got better at answering simple questions. A few articles mentioned Apple started looking at incorporating a GPT style AI with Siri.

I’m not sure what you mean by the source. In this case Ground News is an app.

There are daily news podcasts if you like consuming information that way. Apple News , AP News and Ground News are good news aggregates. Reuters has a cool app where you get to pick the amount of time you have (5 minutes to 30 minutes I think ) and it shows you the top stories in video format. RSS feeds of your favourite news sites with a RSS app like Feedly.

I sent them a note via their feedback form too. If we all do that they might start paying attention.

Reached out to mod, who appears to have been inactive for the last two months, and haven’t heard back. Would like to volunteer taking community over as mod. Currently recruiting help from other Sens fans.

I posted something, received a notification someone replied, but when I click on my original message the comment isn’t there. Even after swiping to refresh. If I go on the browser and go to Lemmy.ca I do see the comment. I have checked my settings and don’t see why it would possibly be hidden.

 

We had a chat at work about the good old days where ISPs were local startups.

I was with Magma, he was with Primus. We were trying to find the other ones that were out there ! Help us remember Lemmy!

 

This link was shared by our non profit community radio station. It’s a great way to get news that would never make the national headlines.

 

The Ottawa Puzzled Pint chapter has been running for 7 years. It’s a monthly newbie-friendly nerdy event that’s free. It’s not competitive. Next event is August 8. Runs every second Tuesday of every month.

The location changes every month and you have to solve an online puzzle (posted the Friday before) to find out where we meet.

 

I don’t love flavoured teas so I buy plain tea bags and spruce them up with flavoured simple syrup instead. There are a lot of syrup recipes out there, but a lot of them aren’t great with black tea. I combined recipes, made modifications and these two are my faves. Hope you try and enjoy!

 

Why is it that some communities show a video/site preview and some don’t? Is it an instance setting? Image example of one where it’s not working as you would expect.
