Shit, he's 80? I guess I haven't seen him in a while. Back when the cable stations with educational names actually had educational programming, and not just reality trash, he was pretty dope.

It's not that strong, vibration and a little force in the other direction that is easily overcome, especially when you're turning hard to move quickly.

You have to oversignal in modern BMWs or the wheel vibrates and tries to correct the other direction. Forced merges, lane splitting, any deviation from straight down the middle even when it's obvious that you have to do that thing, the car bitches at you if you don't signal.

Yeah, I have zero in my house now. I have over 1k on my ereader, in my pocket, and on my tablet. Even when I read physical books I never had this many, every time I got to a couple hundred I'd take them to Goodwill for others to enjoy. My reading list is so long, it's not like I'm likely to reread anything. Every book I reread is one other book I won't get to read before I die.

I see bookshelves like this these days it's like someone with a lot of vinyl. They're either old (old to me and I'm almost 50), or just into an old format for some reason. Nothing wrong with that, it just doesn't mean the same thing it used to.

I'm drinking it right now. I'm a scotch/bourbon guy but I drink it neat, so if I just want a light cocktail it's usually gin and club soda. It's hard to beat ~$25 for 1.75 liters for a pretty good but nothing special cocktail liquor.

You can do that, won't even hurt. A car battery is capable of providing a lot of amps, but you can't push current, you can only pull it, and a car battery is only around 14 volts.

I wouldn't do it across your chest though, unless you're sure your heart is healthy, and maybe not even then. Even low current can fuck with your heart.

Check out Mr. Confidently Incorrect over here. An eclipse is exactly the definition you posted, I'm not sure how you could read it so wrong.

The earth (one celestial body) is partially obscuring the sun (another celestial body) relative to the Blue Ghost lander (the designated observer).

It's an eclipse.

If the sun passes in front of the moon, we've got a fucking problem.

I use Voyager and a lack of instance name, either on users or in communities, means it's the same as mine.

Do you see any that say .world, or just others?

It's just about what you can see, and who can see you. For maximum content and interaction pick one that defederates, and is defederated by, as few instances as you can find.

Some good ones to try: Lemmy.zip, startrek.website, and lemmy.dbzer0.com, but maybe wait until this blows over to commit to dbzer0 unless you're cool with losing federation to .world, I understand there is a lot of stuff there.

I'm on my ninth Lemmy account, I ditch them after I think I've dropped a few to many PII breadcrumbs, I've used all of these multiple times and they're all good.

I started on .world like you, but now that you're here there is no reason to let .world mods curate your experience.

Also, you can always maintain multiple different accounts.
