Fordry,

Its never ceasing to amaze me that Ukraine, with essentially leftover western equipment, is handling a full blown invasion by Russia. Its pretty incredible to think what would happen to Russia if the west actually went all in and took down Russia with its full might.

I know they aren’t as dependent as they’ve been in the past on Soviet/Russian armor but it does provide some hints to China’s position as well. A western army at full strength with the full support of the western nations is, and will continue to be for a long time, an unmatched military force on the planet.

Fordry,

Presuming the aborted baby isn’t a human… which is just wishful thinking by anyone who prefers convenience over morality.

Fordry,

I use photon.lemmy.world.

Fordry,

Lead is still everywhere. Many electrical cords, Christmas decorations, paint remaining in homes from the 60s and before, even the 70s and possibly 80s. Many tools still sold today, screwdrivers, drill bits, etc. Many fresh produce foods have the potential and often do contain unsafe levels of lead, yes, stuff you buy at the grocery store. Some spices. Stained glass windows. Paints on cheap Chinese or elsewhere toys and other goods. People get lead poisoning today just from living their life not realizing normal stuff around them is dangerous. For real.

Fordry,

Use natural fiber clothing only, no polyester, just cotton or whatever other natural fibers. Try to use less packaged food. But one of the major sources of microplastics is tire wear from vehicles, not sure what can be done about from a personal level other than not drive, which, I mean, who’s really gonna do that?

Fordry,

Really interesting article providing context to what is happening from someone with experience at commanding major military operations. Definitely gives new perspective to why Ukraine has struggled lately to make significant progress.

Fordry,

You’d have to be able to run Android apps.

Did anyone try to return to reddit and notice it just didn't do it for you anymore?

So I’ve switched to lemmy since the reddit meltdown started, experienced quite some withdrawal symptoms, occasionally turned back to reddit, more often logged out than logged in. Now I am merely using Lemmy occasionally and by far not as often as I used reddit before. No more doom scrolling....

Fordry,

Red Reader is pretty good. I moved to it from Bacon Reader years ago.

Looking for games with strong female leads for my daughter (even just to watch as I play). Came across this link, but they're a bit age-inappropriate. Any suggestions from the community? (gameranx.com)

Edit: Daughter is only 5 so she’s unlikely to play much but she watches me and as long as it’s not too violent, it should be fine

Fordry,

Red Alert has a strong female character and is definitely age appropriate… :)

Fordry,

Basically, suspicion that the data was interfered with between the collection from the sensors and its posting, most likely by Russia or Ukraine. Interesting article, I remember all the talk about the radiation around Chernobyl when this first happened. Makes sense that Ukraine would be trying to spread this information like this. There will be a lot of stories that come out in the coming decades about what all was really happening in this conflict.

Fordry,

I was using Digg and Reddit both at the height of Digg. I had already mostly moved over to Reddit at the time of the migration but still was on Digg some. But I was among those that abandoned Digg then.

Fordry,

Its kinda scary how little most people care about stuff that is actually important. This really shows how stuff like the rise of the Nazi party can happen. Most people don’t care about stuff thats bad, even that directly impacts them, until its too late to do anything about it. They just want their life to work the way they want/are used to.

Fordry,

Ehh, I used to share this take but I think it’s a bit over the top now. There are at least certain vehicle models from other brands that I feel are in the sphere with Toyota, notably the Ford F-150. Used, it tends to be similar or cheaper than the Tundra in price and mostly better features and performance and it gets better fuel economy than the vaunted Tacoma, let alone the Tundra, while being significantly bigger/roomier and I dare say, not much less reliable.

Fordry,

Ehh, and down the road they go racking up the miles same as the Toyotas. Mine’s at 150k, a 3.5 ecoboost.

And let me get this straight, someone needs to trade in their 2017 truck because of a potentially $1.5k, maybe a fair amount less, repair?

Fordry,

This was my reasoning. Sounded like .ml was having trouble and lemmy.world was advertising their upgraded server and seemed to working good so it’s what I went with.

Fordry,

I don’t understand why this isn’t the most up voted selection.
