New frontiers in perimeter defense for South Korea, as presidential complex security finds a present from the Norks on the roof. "*Citadel 3 to Citadel Actual, I need sawdust and a scraper at roof access sector 7."* It's been quite a month for the reputations of presidential security services around the world. Which one would you MOST or LEAST want to join, even if you could write your own ticket?

South Korean private citizens send snack cakes, pamphlets, movies and K-Pop, North Korea's defense ministry sends (or strongly condones sending) dookie and trash, says that their deliveries represent how hard it is for the DPRK to get rid of their trash. I THINK WE KNOW who the real victims are here.

I don't even live in Oklahoma any more and only lived in Norman very briefly in the oughts. Therefore, I am the point man on this. Any one who misses making fun of Oklahoma and maybe even misses the state just a little bit, this one's for you. You are not alone. Remember to call your grandma or grandma-adjacent today. It's okay to admit that you might want to trade your original in for a cuddlier, less judgemental update. Maybe it wasn't fresh cookies and mumus on the lanai [or seriously, emotional availability] or other things you needed. The beauty of this life God has given us is that we can adopt grandma-adjacents, old people who inspire us, into our lives any time we like. You can take yours to the Wallsmart or the hair salon and mock people together. The world is wide and there are old people out there who will happily hang out on the lanai with you. Holy Advent and Merry Christmas, keep it between the mayonnaise and the mustard, i.e., keep moving/don't give up. You were born for hope, not for despair. We still have Bill Murray.

Fascinating and based article from Scientific American on why it will be difficult to conceive babies in space and carry a pregnancy successfully. I didn't know that International Space Station astronauts lose that much bone density from microgravity during their stay. For an adult in his or her thirties or forties, that might be too much mineral to get back, even with ideal health and reconditioning regimens after getting home. Women with osteoporosis have prescription drugs they can take to slow down this type of mineral loss, do we even know how those work in microgravity?

There's much more to bulk shopping for staples than the big box stores. EZ Prepping has a searchable directory of stores and markets, so you can shop like a stone cold Mennonite saver. Things I've noticed about shopping at Amish or Mennonite stores: 1.) Many are not listed online, you have to find them in the local paper or word of mouth. That's how I found "Sunny Gardens" in Lamar, MO. 2.) Call before you go, as many of them change their hours based on seasons and stock availability. These are mostly family-run, small places. If Grandma is at her heart appointment and can't man the cash register, then that's it for the day. 3.) Bring your own shopping bags. 4.) Less packaging on everything. They buy in bulk and re-sell most items in smaller packaging labeled and sold by weight. 5.) Take your time shopping, they're also selling chickens, nursery stock and a bunch of other stuff, they'll get to you when they can. Again, family-run. 6.) Bring cash, these are low volume places and the credit card transaction fees, IF they take credit cards, might be punitive for the owners. 7.) There might be a minimum charge to use a debit or credit card. 8.) There probably won't be a public bathroom. 9.) You will meet cool people who know how to raise their own food. The ladies at Sunny Gardens didn't mind being asked about hyperlocal gardening stuff- climate, planting dates, soil, what works and what doesn't. Asking "what is worth my time to grow around here?" can unlock a wealth of experience and information. Don't just go by books, Rodale Press doesn't know shit about what to grow in Missouri or Kansas and I'm calling them out, right here, right now. Rodale, you are not the be all and end all. There are neatly dressed old ladies in kerchiefs who will tell you how it is.

She hadn't let water touch her perm in decades, except at the salon. She loved her **possibly** immortal cat and watching real estate flipping shows. She wore a ton of makeup, only "Merle Norman" brand. I know you're busy, but call your grandma today. (Calling someone else's grandma is ok, too.)

Latin language verity_kindle • 1 year ago • 87%

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/477461 > How do you properly conjugate "Reddit" in Latin? First, you need to know if the proper noun, "Reddit", is male or female and base the conjugation of the verbs in the sentence on its gender , just as in Spanish or French. Reddito? As in "Carthago Delenda Est"? At first, it seemed easy to just use "Reddito", since Carthage was a city and Reddit is a community of sorts. The I realized that Reddit is no longer a community, but **a hostage situation**. What gender to use, then? Surely the ancient Near Eastern peoples had camps where they held captives or hostages during negotiations. Hostage trading was big business for them. My father in law is a retired Latin teacher, maybe he can help me parse this out.

www.wired.com

Eye-opening article from Wired's Cory Doctorow on how Amazon pushed competitors out of the market and forced sellers to sell with them, all WITHOUT violating anti-trust laws. Amazon is a perfect example of subtle "enshittification". Did I mention that AMZN is a big-time corporate supporter of Planned Parenthood? Supporting Planned Parenthood, which is just another corporation that happens to sell human body parts along with its many other revenue streams, is just one of the ways that AMZN corners the market, concentrating their customer pool over time and ensuring that YOUR money doesn't go to your children or your chosen charities through tangible and intangible inheritance, but straight into their corporate pockets, where it will never come back to communities, charities and families. Families are not their most valuable profit centers. Single, desperately lonely 40 year olds living in condos are. It's in their best interest to keep you buying at the store of everything, distracted, frightened and compliant. It's hard to break away from their tentacles, but this year of our Lord 2023, let's promise our loved ones that we will work a little bit harder to find funny socks or a baby shower gift. We can all do better, because Doctorow's piece about what Amazon has become sounds like an analysis of an abusive relationship.
