We lost nice people during the COVID waves instead of her. It isn't right.
  • I think what the person on Twitter wrote is in response to Rowling going off on a rant about cisgender female boxer, Imane Khelif (from Algeria), in the Olympics, and insisting that she's a man. Rowling's tweet here. There's an article here that outlines the response from the Olympics, and the other female boxer, Italian boxer Angela Carini, who lost to Imane Khelif.

    Carini, however, said to reporters after the match: “I wish her to carry on until the end and that she can be happy … I am not here to judge or pass judgment. If an athlete is this way, and in that sense it’s not right or it is right, it’s not up to me to decide.”

    And as that article also notes:

    It’s also worth noting that it is illegal to be transgender in Algeria – so to peddle the information that the country would send a trans athlete to compete in the Olympics would frankly be laughable if it wasn’t so maddening.

    Edit: Forgot to link to the article.

  • Can anyone help me find an online calculator that can calculate total the price of items I buy. (euro)
  • Oh, that actually looks really cool! Seems perfect for those times when you don't want to start up a whole Excel / Google Sheet. That actually seems perfect for what OP is asking for, provided they don't mind that it isn't offline. At least it doesn't require making an account! Pretty cool that you can share pages too.

  • Oh, I hadn't heard about this one! But it looks interesting (YouTube trailer), so I'll check it out.

  • Good game soundtracks?
  • Adding on to this to specifically recommend the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 soundtrack. Oscar Araujo did masterful work on this, so much so that I even went out and bought the album, even though it was almost impossible to get my hands on it. But you can listen to it on YouTube.

  • It's supposed to be angels. Abraham Lincoln also used the phrase "the better angels of our nature" in his first inaugural address in 1861, in a plea to avoid civil war.

    EDIT: I also don't see the spelling mistake that OP is talking about.

  • I played the demo on Steam yesterday, and had a lot of fun with it. I really look forward to seeing what they come up with in the full release.

    I'm so happy that it's getting more normal for studios to release free demos. I've been playing a lot of hours of Aloft too, and I gotta say, it really makes me more interested in buying the game when it comes out, than I otherwise would be.

  • What a super cool idea, and I love the implementation! I do however keep accidentally downvoting, when I want to upvote, and vice versa, since all other sites that I've ever used, display the upvote first, and the downvote second. Any chance of a toggle for that in settings?

    A must-have feature for me is the ability to collapse comments on posts. Right now it seems like we can only collapse replies to comments, or put differently, we can only collapse child-comments. Any chance you could make it possible to collapse parent comments too?

  • I was curious too, so I went to the Wikipedia page:

    The goal is to attain liberation in the body, by sealing in the energy of bindu in the head so that it is not lost.

    Haṭha yoga is a branch of the largely spiritual practice of yoga, though it makes use of physical techniques; it was developed in medieval times, much later than the meditative and devotional forms of yoga. Its goals however are similar: siddhis or magical powers, and mukti, liberation. In Haṭha yoga, liberation was often supposed to be attainable in the body, made immortal through the practices of Haṭha yoga. Among its techniques were mudrās, meant to seal in or control energies such as kundalini and bindu. Khecarī mudrā is one such technique.

    tl;dr - A spiritual practice of yoga in Hindu metaphysics.

  • tbf, it seems like his relationship with animals was really hit or miss:

    Diodorus Siculus recorded a story of Menes related by the priests of the crocodile god Sobek at Crocodilopolis, in which the pharaoh Menes, attacked by his own dogs while out hunting fled across Lake Moeris on the back of a crocodile and, in thanks, founded the city of Crocodilopolis.

  • I would be very excited to explore the in-game locations. Hopefully feel really immersed in the universe! And as /u/AlolanYoda@mander.xyz mentioned, I hope it will be possible to solve conflicts through diplomacy. That has always been Star Trek's biggest draw for me, that it isn't just about combat and fighting.

  • I still don't get buffers
  • The Clipboard History is indeed a part of Windows 10. But I was wondering how PowerToys enhanced the functionality of it.

  • I still don't get buffers
  • I took a look through my power toys settings, but couldn't find anything there that had to do with the win+v clipboard history. Google hasn't been any help either. What is it that I'm overlooking? How does powertoys improve the clipboard history feature?

  • Do you have some kind of subconscious awareness of interests you already have or know you eventually will take deep dives into at some point in life?
  • I really loved Interview with the Vampire, so I was very excited for Mayfair Witches. But wow, those two are very different shows in tone, pacing and dialogue. It was very hard for me to get through Mayfair Witches, and I only finished it, hoping I'd end up liking it in the end. But I won't be tuning back in for season 2, that's for sure.

    To be fair, I've never read the books. I have only ever read the Vampire Chronicles. So it may just be that I wouldn't care for the books either.

    However, in the spirit of this thread - I do want to check out the source material, Lives of the Mayfair Witches at some point. Could be that I'd enjoy it, even if I didn't like the show.
