Bill the Galactic Hero - by Keith Parkinson
  • Terry Pratchett once said: "I don't think The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was the funniest Science Fiction novel ever written. The funniest Science Fiction novel ever written was Bill, The Galactic Hero".

  • How can I prevent sonarr + prowlarr to needlessly search multiple languages?
  • Ditto. I just farted to look into this yesterday and found the trash guides. It was pretty incomprehensible and I gave up. I hope to come back to this thread later and see that someone has explained how to set this up simply.

  • Why don't any frontends add a way to view a united thread for a single url?
  • I love this idea. I feel like it would give Lemmy some of the old forum magic of long historical threads.

    Imagine every time a repost happens the comments are additive instead of separate. It would keep posts and conversations alive to have them continue to surface and be upvoted anew.

    I really think you’re into something brilliant.

  • Why You Should Read “The Myth of American Idealism” by Noam Chomsky
  • I hope it sparks debate and causes people to take seriously the central point of the book, namely the grave threat posed to the world by the U.S. effort to maintain global dominance. The facts laid out in the book are disturbing and in many ways terrifying, and my hope, one I know that Prof. Chomsky has long shared, is that the public will come to understand the danger that we are in and act collectively to radically democratize existing power structures.

  • Roommates
  • When I was in highschool my mother left a pot of stock simmering and went to work, except instead of leaving it on low she left it on high. I came home to a smoke filled apartment, and the pot was full of chicken bone shaped black carbon. As I grabbed the handle and brought it toward the sink molten metal poured out of the heavy base into the sink. It was scary and I’m grateful I wasn’t severely burned and that our place didn’t burn down!

  • Introduction
  • I read your whole site and find it very inspiring. My wife spent six months in Ghana when she was 18 and had a very life changing experience. I hope to visit some day and will definitely reach out if I do.

    Though I had a successful career as a software developer in the nonprofit space, my current interests and expertise are in meditation practices and psycho-spiritual integration. My theory is that the way to a better world is through healing our traumas, personal, collective, and intergenerational.

  • Lobster mushrooms found today in Cascadia

    My first time finding lobster mushrooms! A nice patch of them was on a path I walk several times a week. I picked the biggest ones and left some smaller ones that are still growing. I plan on checking back in a couple days.

    I learned today that lobster mushrooms are actually a parasitic fungus!

    Anyone have any recipe suggestions?
