Thanks for letting me be one of today's lucky 10,000.
Careful, that's how that one evil boyfriend in Scott Pilgrim died.
Stuck on the treadmill of adulthood but determined to have a good time.
KEXP is doing their six-degrees week and I am loving it! Today is the last day, so y'all still have a few hours to listed to the livestream if you like.
Are any boats out on that water? If so, they had better be careful. You are armed with a torpedo!

A brief Google search didn't turn up much information about the protests. The best I have is the brief summary on hmdb.org:
Regarding 1962 Student Protests in Quetzaltenango. In March and April, 1962 there were widespread protests throughout Guatemala against then-President General Ydigoras Fuentes, who was widely seen as having been elected in corrupt elections. There was also considerable anger for Guatemal
BME Church National Historic Site
Inscription:
The Salem Chapel, British Methodist Episcopal Church was the first Black church in St. Catharines. Originally known as the African Methodist Episcopal Church, the name was changed to reflect their loyalty to the British Empire. In 1793, the "Upper Canada Act Against Slavery" was passed, allowing Blacks aged 25 years and older freedom from slavery in Canada. This created a safe haven for African American runaway slaves and made Canada the destination for many who fled. As a result, hundreds of escaped slaves settled in St. Catharines and created a vibrant Black community.
The original church was a small log building that held about 70 members and was built on the land behind today's church. The freedom seekers who settled in St. Catharines constructed this church, dedicated in 1855, to replace the smaller one. Some of the original pews that they built are still in use on the balcony level. The BME Salem Chapel is also significant for its ties to Harriet Tubman, nickn
If someone has the desire and the means to drop $10k on a hobby they love then I won't judge. Plenty of folk spend that much or more on musical instruments, or photography gear, or motorcycles, or a hundred other things.
Nice! I love the paint colors.
What is something from France that you wish you could get in the US?

I was thinking of central heat and air conditioning accessible to the masses for home use. But you are right that the history of HVAC goes back much farther than that.
Oh, and salmon sushi was invented in the 1980's by the Norwegian fishing industry. Before that, no salmon in sushi.
You know how you can push some buttons on your wall and your house magically warms up or cools down? I know people who were alive before that existed.
I'm with you about fries on pizza.
But fries with shawarma? Sign me up for that. And pile on some extra garlic, too
I got to experience it firsthand a few days ago from me a MAGA relative. "Don't believe the hysterical media. It's all a manufactured crisis by the liberals to take advantage of people."
The ending was fire. 🔥
Relevant quote from St. Basil:
"Who is the covetous man? One for whom plenty is not enough. Who is the defrauder? One who takes away what belongs to everyone. And are not you covetous, are you not a defrauder, when you keep for private use what you were given for distribution? When some one strips a man of his clothes we call him a thief. And one who might clothe the naked and does not—should not he be given the same name?
The bread in your hoard belongs to the hungry; the cloak in your wardrobe belongs to the naked; the shoes you let rot belong to the barefoot; the money in your vaults belongs to the destitute. All you might help and do not—to all these you are doing wrong"

Defederation from chinese.lol and lemmy.doesnotexist.club
Hello everyone. We recently defederated from the two instances below. In the interest of transparency, I am opening this discussion post as a place for our users to discuss any questions or concerns.
- chinese.lol
- lemmy.doesnotexist.club
Both instances were identified in a recent post (https://hackertalks.com/post/8713785) for harboring suspected vote manipulation accounts. The spoiler in that post names 49 suspicious accounts. A bit of database digging on our side confirmed that all of those accounts are being used solely for coordinated downvoting of a small number of Lemmy users. They are also only the tip of the iceberg; at least 92 other accounts on these two instances also match the same pattern of behavior.
We have reached out to the admins, and have not received a reply. Until we hear otherwise, these two instances are considered unmoderated and have been defederated.
That is all. Have a great Friday!

Caymanian Catboat 1904-
Inscription:
For the first half of the twentieth century, the catboat was integral to the economy of the Cayman Islands and the daily life of Caymanians. Designed primarily for catching turtle far-out at sea and carrying them to schooners for shipment to market, it was also used for fishing close to shore, for transporting people and goods around the islands, and even as an ambulance. Most children learned their sailing skills in small catboats, and catboat races were a favorite recreational activity when people had time to spare. With the decline of turtling and the arrival in the Islands of automobiles and outboard motors, the catboat gradually fell into disuse. In the 1990's the establishment of the Maritime Heritage Foundation and the Cayman Catboat Club led to a revival of interest in this unique craft, and today the Caymanian catboat is celebrated as a living icon of Caymanian culture.
Here's the monument where the marker is placed:

Not my video, but it reminded me of a great cat that I used to know.
