Someone has to stay behind to show the path to those that need it. Just being a bro.

Understandable, the watch is the photo does appear large. Kid's arms are tiny.

By occasion. Work shirts taken from one side and added on other. Club wear and winter wear get own sections.

Do I need to choose a language when posting on Lemmy? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

At one point, it was suggested to not label posts with English if in English. With is my attempt at explaining the current state.

Really, it the setting is important, it shouldn't be allowed to be undefined.

Huge building and living area.

Also, to prove to other aliens your group is really powerful.

Why don't we cook on car engines? (midwest.social)
 

In the 1970's and 1980's there were several books the either had characters that did it or promoted it.

Why is there no cooking tray in my new car's engine bay?

Is it dangerous? (It would be less physically dangerous if there was a specific spot for it.)

Progress on MN House Recall? (midwest.social)
 

With the Minnesota House now working, is the effort to gave recall elections of all Minnesota House Democrats still going?

Has anyone seen efforts to gather signatures?

How to filter words? (midwest.social)
 

Hello,

Where is the menu for adding filtered words? I had found the word filter before, but now I cannot. "Bans and Filters" looks like the right place, but I cannot add words.

Thanks in advance!

The Meaning of Life (midwest.social)
 

As an Atheist, I am often puzzled by the theist view that the Meaning of Life comes only from God. It seems very narrow, bleak, and heavy handed.

Do you find value in discussion of the Meaning of Life?
What do you think the meaning is?
What value do you think knowing the Meaning of Life brings?

How many Nintendo Switches do I need for a family of gamers? (midwest.social)
 

I don't understand the Nintendo Switch. How many do I need for a family of gamers?

They are a personal device like a gameboy.
There is a TV version for party games.
The games may or may not be shareable, even with the physical games.
Assume the ideal usage is during screen time on a weekend.

I have been avoiding buying one as I don't understand them. Thinking of getting them soon.

I assume one OLED for the family and then a portable per person, then one copy of each game per device.

How is this affordable?

Feasibility of assembling car from parts? (midwest.social)
 

I like a certain unremarkable car from the recent past. As they are repairable currently, can one just buy all of the parts new and put it together?

Are there any parts that aren't sold new?

Have you done this?
Are there any tools to help one get all of the parts?
Any communities?

What are you supposed to do at a food truck festival? (midwest.social)
 

The lines are long. The food is expensive. Everyone in the group wants to eat something different. The food taste is a gamble. There are few places to eat.

Does everyone stick together and wait in all of the lines? Split up and meet at some location? Eat on the way to the festival and just hang out?

What would a 3 hour work day be like? (midwest.social)

It often feels like there are only 3 productive hours in typical American white collar work day.

What if we just cut out the rest?

Edit: Some great responses. So responses must have also been said about the 5 day and 40 hour work weeks.

Religious Landscape Study (www.pewresearch.org)
 

In the USA, 3.1% claim Atheist, 4% Agnostic, and a total of 22.8% "Unaffiliated".

In Minnesota, 3% claim to be Atheist, 4% Agnostic, with a total of 20% Unaffiliated.

Posted as I often feel there are few Atheists in the USA. Turns out Atheists are under noticed.
