Today I Learned (TIL)@lemmy.ca•TIL that a gram of uranium contains 20 million kcals so if you ate just one gram of uranium you would have enough calories for the rest of your life.

Could I have Hearts of Iron 3?
…and two others have stepped up before he actually quit.

Considering that making it big just means a lot of responsibility, angry messages, AI-driven bug reports and still no pay, I wouldn’t call them lucky.
My landlady is Muslim. She was happy when I wished her a Merry Christmas, and also decorated her house for the holidays.
It’s not like it really has anything to do with Christianity nowadays.

2·13 hours agoSome games I want to play just to experience the storyline, but without getting stressed by danger or frustrated by getting stuck.
I’m always a bit bewildered when I get that question right at the moment I take my knife out to help someone open or cut something.
Like, you just needed a knife right now, I got one, I help you, and then you ask me what I carry a knife for?
For exactly this!

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How long until we can start shorting years to 2 numbers again?
4·1 day agoMaybe it’s generational. Do people born after 2000 already shorten it?

guns@lemmy.world•Could something like this be a viable hunting sidearm?
22·2 days agoSome people still hunt with bow and arrow, too. That doesn’t mean it’s a good hunting weapon compared to other options available today.
People do that as a challenge, to increase the difficulty in order to satisfy their own ego.
But it also increases the chance that the animal will be wounded instead of killed quickly, and will suffer unnecessarily.
IMO if you use anything but the best available tool for the job, you’re being irresponsible and showing that your own desire to brag or challenge yourself is more important to you than the animal’s suffering.
Read the second part of the sentence.
Extensions break when you install Gnome from your distro repos and the extensions from somewhere else (like extensions.gnome.org).
If you mix sources, YOU take on the job of keeping everything compatible.
What exactly do new releases break, apart from the extensions you installed from a different source than your distro’s repos?
If you don’t like constant changes, that’s not a Gnome issue, that’s you choosing a bleeding edge distro when you actually wanted stability.
The Gnome UI is great, without any extensions. An absolute game changer for laptops.
You can navigate it quickly with just the meta key, arrow keys and a touchpad or scroll wheel.
No memorizing key combos or aiming for small icons with the mouse.
Everything is hidden when you don’t need it and prominently visible when you do.
I love how someone with literally no knowledge of pharmaceuticals could ace this if they are pokemon players.

guns@lemmy.world•Could something like this be a viable hunting sidearm?
11·2 days agoI am a hunter. Pistols suck for hunting in general, even as a sidearm.
A sidearm is only useful for defense against aggressive animals, and killing wounded or trapped game.
A pistol is just too weak and too hard to aim.
A modern hunting rifle can be both strong enough as a primary gun and short enough to use in underbrush, is much easier to aim, has more stopping power, more ammo capacity and is faster to fire than a pistol.
This is the most boring movie I ever watched.










Thank you!
