I’m currently on the camino francés route to Santiago de Compastella. My first day will be the day after tomorrow. I spend a lot of time over planning for it I’m sure. It seems very well supported by local communities and there are municipal albergues along the way. I was hoping to fund a community on lemmy for the pilgrimage.

I went back to school for engineering in my late 20s. I took physics and calculus again because I needed it to be confident in pursuing the rest of the courses.

Getting your ass kicked is not even a big deal in combat sports with rules. You’ll mostly be fine, you can spin the story. I bet Zuck gets beat all the time in training. I rather see Musk call out fights and back out. That is such a pussy move.

Does your dog have skin issues or anything that seems related to allergies? I am dealing with allergies that cause skin issues like bumps, and flaky skin. I was advised to keep my dog’s ears clean as allergies that cause skin issues can also cause ear infections. I don’t have anything to recommend in terms of medicine but just something to consider as a possible cause if your dog has allergies.
me: can turn my dog’s name into a name that sounds like a dinosaur? My dog’s name is Serverina. She is a big dog with a docked tail. chatGPT: For a dog named Severina, here's a dinosaur-inspired name that takes her size and tail into account: "Tyrannosevra." It combines elements of "Tyrannosaurus," a well-known dinosaur known for its size, with a twist on her name, Severina. This name adds a fun and unique touch while honoring her characteristics.

Oh man, I totally forgot. Expeditionary Force is so good! Its funny like hitch hikers guide to the galaxy but more modern and the writing is not as clever. But there is a HUGE story arc dealing with super smart spiders. I listened to it and I’m pretty sure it was made for audiobooks first.

If you want fun politics and war in the entire solar system, I recommend Red Rising and the the subsequent 2 novels (I haven’t read beyond that). The characters are incredibly sentimental but it was really fun to read. It doesn’t start off anything like The Expanse but politics within the entire solar system and divisions between the outer planets and asteroid belt were reminiscent of some scenarios.
If you want a more philosophical and hard science exploration of Humanity expanding beyond our solar system, dealing with long term evolution and exploring sentience in other species, I like Children of Time and the followup books.
Neither are very similar to Expanse but both series are great.

Foam sounds terrible for holding bolts. If you have to fill it and have a clear hollow access, I’d consider epoxy and some wood dowels. The dowels would be to bring the cost down because you will probably need more than a gallon of epoxy and that stuff is expensive. This is my idea, please feel free to poop on it.

Jiu Jitsu. Really fun to grapple hard against an opponent. Unlike striking sports, you can practice pretty hard and mostly avoid injuries. There is a thinking component and a mental strength component making it much more fun than other workouts I do.

Hi friend, I understand. I commented because it is a sad and touching situation you shared. I hope you find a great way to get all the resources you need for Bernie. I feel like the system is being tested in a way. I’m glad you asked on asklemmy. I’m not sure anyone has done that and there might be some interesting discussion about it. You might find the advocates you need through your posts and we may find an answer to “ where should I post this” for your situation.

I’m not sure there is a community to post this to on Lemmy that will get the traction you need to save your cat. I hope I’m wrong. Sorry you and your cat are going through this. Best of luck!

https://youtu.be/vMshCdGwK1g I really like this guys methods and Ideas on cooking. Nothing really fancy but he makes some “fancy” dishes with simple techniques. His dishes seem to focus on fresh ingredients.
Also, my favorite advice for cooking - Control everything, but especially control your heat.

I just got out of a water conference. The big takeaway was for me was that where sewer spills happened, tomatoes grow later.
I remember this clip from the wire where they discuss the difference between evacuating a place and evacuating a person. [The Wire - Evacuate](https://youtu.be/h5d82ndui_s) Found one example of what they discussed in an NPR article today and is made me laugh.[A woman evacuate her horse.](https://www.npr.org/2023/08/09/1192865955/wildfires-across-hawaii-burn-homes-spurring-evacuations-and-an-emergency-declara)

His ideas on magic were awesome. I liked the binding system as well. I recently read R. F. Kuang’s book Babel. She has a different take on “binding” using similarities of meanings and multiple meanings of words from different languages. It was a very neat book, though it was reminiscent of the magic in the realm of Temerant. I recommend it.

It’s not sci-fi but Kingkiller Cronicles is some of the first fantasy I tried and it was excellent. It gets sciency enough to keep me interested. Ideas from chemistry, thermodynamics, physics are prominent in this magical world. But the reason I recommended this series is because it is well written, exceptionally engaging, and the reader is awesome once you get used to his voice.
For scifi I recommend Three Body Problem (lots of cool ideas based in physics and an excellent story) or Expeditionary Force (Lots of AI/programming humor and space travel scenarios).

I have way more fun on Lemmy. I do need some of the more esoteric an vast archived content from reddit from time to time. For that I just google reddit and no longer sign in. Fedi will get there soon enough though.

Do you call them lemminites? Lamminators? Lems? Lemmings? I haven’t seen what sticks yet but I’m new.
Found this all over my local trail in Hawaii. Looks like turkey tail but not white on the edges and not a lot of color separation. Also, Ive never id’ a mushroom.
