Yes and no. Yes it’s based on actual source material, no because the source material is part of the extended universe that the original author’s son has written. His books are a mixed bag and die-hard Dune fans generally do not consider them canon. I’m still looking forward to it as a Dune fan though, and I hope it turns out good.

He just had a debate with Rafael last Tuesday and I love how he called out Rafael hiding in a supply closet during the insurrection and running off to Cancun during the snowpocalypse.

Yeah it really actually only takes a couple of big users moving to Mastodon to cause a domino effect of a mass migration. I hope more people with tons of followers start moving over.

The company said they have partners in Taiwan for the business. I wonder what they had to say about this issue.

I saw a clip of the part where she was talking about something Trump said and they played a clip with the quote edited out to show he “didn’t say it”, and it was infuriating that she didn’t just straight up call it out and say they edited the clip and cut off the relevant part. She just kept saying that the clip is not what he said.

Isn’t Joaquin the type of actor who will only sign up for something if he really likes it? So he must have been onboard with the direction of the film right?

Brouhaha…Ballyhoo

I separate the sauce and pasta for a different reason: I cook a large batch and will always have leftovers, so keeping them separated prevents them from spoiling faster (even when refrigerated). An already-mixed spaghetti also gets dry in the fridge compared to heating them separately later on.

We rotate between Almond and Coconut. Almond for stuff where the milk needs to be more neutral tasting. Coconut if we want a more creamy texture. We used to also like Oat (least wasteful on water during production vs almond), but it’s high in carbs so we avoid it now. Also, we actually use 0% fat lactose-free milk as well for coffee because it just tastes better than the alternatives for coffee.

Are you sure you’ve NEVER shared the qr code with anyone? If so, what is it actually for? Because a qr code’s purpose is to be shared. If you’ve ever shared it before, people can have copies of it. I myself take a picture of a qr code and load it from my camera roll instead of directly opening the link from my camera, because I want to keep a copy of it.

Now if you truly haven’t shared it to anyone, then it is either a bug with whatever app, website, or mechanism you generated the qr code from and it’s alerting you; or it’s an IOS bug; with the former the more likely. Like others have said, this is absolutely not normal behavior on a non-jailbroken iphone. And to Apple’s credit, the iphone is pretty secure. This should be the order of steps before going nuclear:

• Find out if the source of the issue is the app or mechanism the QR code is using to alert you. Check if it’s a bug or it’s actually a malicious/rogue app.

• If that’s all good, clean up your phone. Check which apps have access to your camera and microphone, and disable anything you don’t need or trust. Delete apps if necessary.

• If that still doesn’t stop it, hard reset your phone.

I remember as a kid we had some kind of puck-shaped asbestos bathroom deodorizer. It was also used in urinals back in the day.

Spend more because everything is more expensive? I can’t imagine taking on debt for a gift. I’d just say sorry, I don’t have enough money right now for non-essentials. Maybe cook up some food to share instead.

The one where you stick a piece of paper on your forehead you have to guess what is written by asking yes/no questions to someone sitting in front of you.

I just use Audacious with a winamp skin. Looks identical but actually FOSS.

Needs to have a Spacing Guild Heighliner in there too.

It was an excellent episode and a great performance by Cristin Milioti. The only part I had an issue with is you had to suspend disbelief a bit with the ending. But it doesn’t take away how good the episode and this show is.

The video on the article is even funnier. They didn’t even mask the person’s voice, so it just sounds like a dude talking through a speaker. And he fumbled pronouncing “autonomous”.

This will make it one of the most compact 3-row SUVs right? Probably smaller than the Tiguan?

I have no background on this, but assuming it’s called as such because it came from north america, how was it introduced? Via ships like rats?

I can do step 1 without waking up, so I would take that extra time to continue connecting with myself while sleeping. Also, caffeine takes 20-30 mins to kick in, so they’re actually waiting close to 2 hours to cue themselves into “work mode”.
