meaningful positive change for the common person won't be achieved via an elected candidate. If that candidate was willing and able to make some actual change, they wouldn't be on the ballot. Voting in a representative democracy is illusion of choice.
Arguments for:
liberals (in the social definition) and conservatives view democracy at least as a tool to get what they want. Conservatives want to twist it to perpetuate and enforce their view of the world, liberals want to get increasingly slow incremental change. It is a losing battle for liberals, but there isn't enough class consciousness for actual change to happen. I'd rather side with the liberals than the conservatives.
Born and bred honduran here. I'd guess this will negatively affect Asfura's campaign, but it'll be tight between him, Nasrallah and Moncada. Though I'll be honest, out of them all, Nasrallah is pretty much the lesser evil here. If it were up to me I'd be voting for Ávila but, sinple majority means he won't get the job
Think the biggest innovation they did for csgo was molotovs, and for cs2 was smokes being affected by bullets and explosions. Other than that, I think it's been largely the same.
Though do keep in mind, I have about 30h across source, csgo, and 2 combined; odds are I missed stuff.
Really? Fuck. Well, guess that leaves Jeff Nippard and LeanBeefPatty as still solid, hopefully. Been away from the lifting world but that sucks about Mike.
Addendum to 5. Taste twice, salt once. Especially if its a sauce, since flavors intensify as it simmers.
I usually taste right at the end to avoid having my tastebuds grow numb to flavors. Even then, if I have someone nearby, I'll give em a taste and ask for notes.
Oh and an addendum to 4. Learn proper techniques and maintenance of cooking equipment. A dull knife is an unsafe knife, especially if you don't know how to chop.
A burger worth half a damn (in both taste and portion) in Burger King will cost me nearly as much as a smash burger with jalapeño aioli and loaded fries from a local burger joint. Pizza Hut/Domino's is the same, there's a proper italian dining place less than 50m from my place, prices are comparable but the taste just isn't there for Pizza Hut or Domino's.
I'm a very stingy person but that price difference is not worth the difference in quality.
Think people who got on lemmy originally lean techy (and thus more likely to use linux and be passionate about it), and people who joined after the IPO thing have more diverse reasons for abandoning reddit.
Yeah, linux can be almost anything you want it to be. It'll run faster and look and feel just the same as windows, if not better. The only bad thing, and I say this as someone who's still on windows and will switch soontm, is that there's a lot of work that comes with that.
A friend of mine who's all about linux is always fixing something about his installation. Though from what I know, he's using Arch, which apparently is less stable/needs more work to get going (something about bleeding edge).
Only reason why I haven't changed yet is because of VR and adobe programs. As soon as VR is a bit more seamless and I get replacements for adobe I'm off of windows.
I'll push back on the nonstick pans. Steel pans get you much better sears, are easier to take care of, and last way longer than non-sticks. Even expensive non-sticks will require you to use spatulas made of a soft material and will only last a couple months to a handful of years before the teflon flakes off.
Personally I would save up a bit and get a 9inch, a 12-14inch (depending on hob sizes), and a bigger sauce pan. Would definitely run more expensive than 100 quid but will last much longer.
Plus, you can go as hard as you want in terms of musical proficiency. You can look up chord charts, learn how to read tabs, or learn how to read sheets.
Though it should be said, guitar is tough starting out. It will make your fingertips sore and your hand cramp. It will take hours of practice to get stuff halfway decent, even things that seem simple. There's always something to improve at or learn. And no matter how much you practice you'll always hear imperfections.
It's a hell of a time commitment (and it can be a money sink) but it is very fun.
Oh yeah, probably my favourite squad mod. A little hard to believe that people will do that kind of quality work for free and consistently update it when any patch can and will invariably fuck mods up.
To clarify point 5, you get three weapons you can equip on your person. A long arm (AR, shotgun, smg, or DMR), a side arm (pistols, revolvers, some melee weapons, etc.), and a third slot which is varied in purpose. There are:
recoiless launchers
disposable launchers
drum grenade launchers
antimateriel rifles
personal shields
shoulder mounted cannons
and I might be missing a few others.
Additionally, you also have a backpack slot, which is also varied. There are drone backpacks, ammo packpacks, and bubble/directional shield backpacks.
And some armours have bonuses to playstyles. The one I use is a heavy armour variant with a bonus to melee damage. There are other offensive bonuses, like more weapon stability while crouching or prone, but most bonuses here are defensive.
Fr. This year seemed like it was going to be pretty shit in regards to new releases, with the only things to catch my interest being the DLCs for rimworld, bannerlord, and Rogue Trader, and Arma Reforger.
But games like Beta Decay seem to be holding the torch for innovation. Can't wait for that to be released.
