I would have no problem if that popped up in my feed while I was in a public place.

That said, I don't think it would be safe for work, so the nsfw would apply. But I would not be browsing Lemmy at work either.

That is a bit of a selection bias. What you are effectively saying is "the biblical names that have survived to today have staying power".

But even that isn't true here as almost all of the names you cite are significantly different now than their original forms. Looking at your list we have Yeshua, Shemuel, Mikael, Rivka, Yohanan, Miriam, and Paulus. Adam is mostly the same, as is David (with a bit of an accent difference), but the rest didn't exactly emerge as they were.

My understanding is that it is working much better now than a few months ago. I haven't actually put it to the test yet, but it is on my list of things to try once I have time to set up my index again.

Separation of church and state is not in the Constitution. The closest you will get is the first amendment, which prevents Congress from establishing a religion, or preventing the free practice of one.

I'm with you that religion should not be forced in schools, but you can't use the Constitution to prevent this particular issue.

The point being that isn't in the Constitution

It is if you are doing it in a discussion about whether or not Russia should be allowed to enact wars of aggression...

There is no current game I want to play that doesn't run on Linux. Valve really has done an amazing job with proton and getting games to work as well or better on Linux.

Now, that said, I am not big into competitive multiplayer, so take that into account. Anti cheat is still a problem since most of the current ones need permissions that are not normally given on Linux.

Well it was about that time I realized this judge was about eight stories tall and was a crustacean from the plethazoic era.

This is a bit late for a response, but it has to do with what protections are afforded by what entity. The US has very explicit treaties signed with allied nations. Canada, for instance is a five eye partner and thus has far less to worry about from the US than it does from China.

Additionally, China has an ongoing bad track record with how it treats other nations. Commercial entities within China are far more at the whim of the state government and are required to act in alignment with the CCP instructions.

People treat China differently because China is different. They very much are a different beast when it comes to authoritarian control of its commercial and private entries.

Whataboutism doesn't suddenly make the action ok. Two countries doing something wrong doesn't suddenly excuse the act.

This... this was a low-key life changer.

I made the recipe as it was originally done and it was pretty much the simplest, quickest thing I have ever made.

You need noodles (I used a simple pack of the "fresh" noodles from the supermarket, it took literally 2 minutes to cook), a block of decent Parmesan cheese that you will shred about a cup of (gotta go with a block that you shred yourself, the pre-shredded doesn't work), and four tablespoons of butter. That's it.

You boil the noodles per the package (it was 2 minutes for the ones I used), then pull them from the water and put them wet in a large bowl with the butter. Add a small amount of the water you boiled the noodles in (like 1/3rd cup or so) and then slowly add in the cheese, mixing it as you go. That's it. You can add more pasta water if you want it saucier, but mix it until the cheese and butter melts into a sauce and you are good to go.

With the fresh noodles, it maybe takes 5 or 6 minutes and was a very tasty and filling meal. Totally worth it.

 

Thanks for reminding me that we're all mad down here
