I almost put a ":D" at the end, but then thought it a bit outdated.
when I was in the army we were taught roughly how to shoot at a helicopter, but generally the idea was "you have a rifle (not a shotgun), you're not gonna hit a very fast flying thing, but here's ROUGHLY how much to anticipate with it if you have to try".
If we're not talking about long-range drones which fly at proper altitudes, and instead something one could even viably shoot at, then we're talking like 1000 smaller than a helicopter, but with similar speeds. Like the size of the armament on those drones is usually bigger than the drone itself.
I'm fine with us telling Russians to shoot at them, they're just gonna be wasting their (already waning) munition.
I know it's not the same, but if you don't have the sensitivity, then obviously you don't have to eat the same food.
And yes, I agree, most gluten free replacements are kinda bad. Nowhere near as bad as they were 20 years ago, though. Took me months, but I actually did find a gluten free pasta that's honestly edible and doesn't ruin the dish with some weird texture or taste I don't like.
I only tell you this because I too used to think gluten-free is a fad and people are just "imagining" benefits from going gluten-free free.
I've had a stomach pain my entire life. No doctor ever suggested going gluten free and I even had a biopsy taken at 18 to see whether it's celiacs. Either it was a false negative or I have what is known as NCGS, Non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
And it's genuinely not a joke.
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10593161/
Non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) has been shown to occur in individuals without serological or biopsied evidence of celiac disease (CD), who manifest psychotic ormood disorders that resolve following elimination of gluten. In this case history, we discuss a similar manifestation in a 31-year-old woman without serological evidence of CD, whose psychiatric symptoms improve with gluten elimination.
A 31-year-old Caucasian woman with a history of severe gluten sensitivity, Hashimoto's disease, mosaic turner's syndrome, and presumed schizo-affective disorder, bipolar type with multiple inpatient psychiatric involuntary admissions presented to the ED on petition for aggressive behavior by law enforcement. The patient had a week-long break-down at her parents' home, where she also resides. She reportedly broke several objects and threatened to slit her mother's throat. On the physical exam, she was malodorous, disheveled, and had long extremely matted hair. Psychiatric evaluation was notable for rambling speech, dysphoric mood, agitation, and irritability. Thought content was disorganized and consisted of grandiose and paranoid persecutory delusions. She was emergently given Haldol for worsening agitation, as she became physically threatening.
And all that goes a way by not ingesting gluten. So you know, which would you rather, a crazy gf and donuts or a friendly gf with some gluten tree donuts which are like sort of okay?
I'm not saying your gf has NCGS but just saying I understand the resentment (id sell my own mother for some proper gluteny carbonara) but going gluten and dairy free (casein, the milk protein, often also caused symptoms with NCGS patients, might want to maybe let your gf know if she's improved with gluten free but still experiencing some GI symptoms) may have improved her well being so much that I think you should at least try to get over the resentment.
You can always go eat out alone. But if she's maintaining a strict diet, she prolly shouldn't go to a single fast food burger place. Some of them offer gluten free buns but they don't guarantee the meal to be glutenfree as its made in the same kitchen. Also, worth asking if they're have a separate deep frier for gluten free things if getting fries.
Sorry for the rant. I truly understand the resentment and the hankering for cheesy gluteny goodness, trust me. But I also know how massively the diet can improve life quality (Google "gluten belly" for instance for some insta girls showing the difference). And I know how frustrating it can feel when other people see it as something that's not "really necessary", instead treating it somewhat like someone not liking pickles in their cheeseburger. (I'm sure you don't treat her like that, I'm talking about people I know.)
Literally every accusation from right-wing fucks is an admission, and they don't even see it.
Science isn't something you can have, it's a method of getting information.
Oh alright mister pedantic. See sometimes sentences have things like implications in them. Saying someone "has" some arbitrary concept or system, like asking a ship"do you have navigation", doesn't mean the person asking that thinks of navigation as a singular object.
They have the science available to them. Ie they have the ability to look at endless amounts of it.
"They have other methods"
(How annoying would it be if here I started autistically screeching about how you don't "have" methods, you use them)
You completely misunderstood my comment, and are now pretending that one of the most common definitions of "knowledge" is different from what I said; having justified true belief. In something.
Flat earthers have justified true information available to them, but they REFUSE TO BELIEVE IT.
It's caller amathia.
Here, read this.

Knowledge is often defined as "justified true belief."
Flat Earthers have the science. The science is justified and true. But they refuse to believe it.
Philosophy has considered those two pretty intertwined for a rather long time.
Well yeah but the top layer won't, so if it's wood (ie there's no cover at all) then the top layer gets wet and wicks the moisture downwards to whatever degree the shape and arrangement of the wood dictates.
But like I'm talking more about a stacked pile of firewood that has lots of naked grain and shaped tightly together. If you've thick piece of logs with the bark intact, and it's not an especially rainy season, it's fine.
But yeah raised off the ground is necessary, but that's can be done with a parallel layer at the bottom.
I'm just saying if you have tightly paced firewood and it's outside all year it's worth considering a tarp on top of it but it's more or less a play by the ear thing.
Like stacking firewood on the side of a building for example, as there's a least a bit of cover unless there's a huge storm. Completely fine. (Try to make it the side which doesn't face the wind usually but either way.)
(Am no pro just lived in wood heated houses a lot and so saunas and fires in Finland)
Fucking rofl. The dogs are more moral than those bastards.
"Non-sheltered"?
I mean sure you van leave wood out to dry but if it rains a lot at least the top logs won't prolly be dry. But like if you cover them from rain with a tarp it's fine.
Weed would go moldy though.
Bathroom isn't bad if he's not taking long hot showers all the time. Good ventilation because it's an area that's often wet.
... in case the Russians decide to take a "special training exercise" over the Finnish border
They can fucking try, but our border is a bit more geographically challenging than the ones Russia has been forcefully shifting for decades in Ukraine.
Here's how it would look like if Russia tried something; Taistelukenttä (battlefield) 2020
From the Finnish military itself.
No they won't be.
You're genuinely just saying "if we allow disinfo, there will be less of it, but WE HAVE TO ACCEPT DISINFORMATION."
This just as fucking stupid as Americans thinking creationism should be taught "as an alternative".
No. You don't allow fucking loonies posting delusions on science boards. Never. Not a one.
"small amount of disinfo should be accepted"
Sun retoriikka o iha liia ryssää käyttäjänimi nähtynä. Ehkä et vaa tiedä et pelaat niide pussiin.
You can't seriously be going "waa racism against Russians", for me calling out Matryoshka bullshit?
You guys need stop using the dumbest people, like @Davel@lemmy.ml. If that's the highest you got it's utter shit man. Dude's convinced he's a convincing American. ZD
Are you pro-Russian? Do you think Russia was breaking international law by invading Ukraine?
3D cinema failed financially because people didn't want to have to use simple basic glasses.
I have not heard anyone complain about the glasses, but tons of ppl complaining about the movies and tech quality.
Also btw currently there's currently a 127g VR glasses available for PC, and Pimax is coming out with a set that's some 180 I think (Dream Air) but also has eyetracking and whatnot.
But yeah mostly I do agree. I had the original vive and the annoyance of what were basically ski goggles that weighed a ton without any proper straps even was a bit much. It was cool though, especially once Ingot got the pro strap which had the more helmet config with the wheel at the back.
I'm thinking of perhaps seeing if I'll get a set later this year to see how far it's come in 8 years.
If you want a flat earth community, that's fine, as long as you allow people to call it out as a joke once in a while.
That would be fine, because Flat Earth is a joke and that's true. It would also be fine to mod it out if they want to have a community of loonies.
But you're saying you will forcefully make sure that astronomy communities accept flat Earth, medical communities accept antivaxxing and drinking bleach for covid?
Have a think about this again ffs. And do it after you've come down from whatever you've been smoking.

I made a joke about how Russia was a bit behind in video game tech in the 90's and got banned, lol.

I'm listening to Stromae, Pomme - Ma Meilleure Ennemie (from Arcane Season 2) Lyrics w/ translation.
And one line is "Mais comme dit le diction: Plutôt qu'être seul mieux vaut être mal accompagne."
French (sorry for butchering some of the letters, I've a Nordic layout), roughly for "But as the saying goes: Better than alone, is to be in bad company."
Reading that, I remembered a Spanish line from last weeks episode of "The Day of the Jackal": "Mejor solo que mal acompañado."
"It's better to be alone than in bad company."
A difference in views between the French and the Spanish, eh? Anyone here who's got some view on it? I'd be interested to hear a view from someone who intimately understands both cultures.

Just something MAGA-people seem to have a hard time with sometimes. Probably not as much when Americans are speaking to themselves, but as a non-American, sometimes it's challenging to get "those people" to admit that there is indeed anything wrong with the US. As in they won't accept a single criticism, and will loudly proclaim "America is the greatest country in the world", while wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat, which for me pretty explicitly means America isn't great, if it has to be made to be such again.
