We post a lot of Bandcamp links on [email protected] because the free song streaming is great and a lot of bands are on there. Eventually they’ll enshittify and get rid of the free streaming or require a signin at which point I’ll move on to something else (dunno what?!)
Agreed. fwiw Bandcamp is currently kinda like that for their digital tracks tho it was bought out a couple years ago so will begin enshittifying any day now…

Today I learned that in Sweden, Donald Duck’s name is Karl “Kalle” Magnus Anka.
I think the “square handle” refers to the cross-section of the pole rather than the handle at the end.
oooh, that makes sense. the image above seems to be broken now, but wikipedia has a good pic of it. Not entirely convinced – I’ve seen worse designs on real products, but I get what OP’s trying to say.
Agreed about the handle. And nowadays that scooper just looks like a really cheap “flat” variety, though you can get better ones that are “shaped”. It’s hard to tell about the material and attachment from a photo, but it looks usable. Dunno what the state-of-the-art in snow shovels was back then, but I think OP-commenter is reaching. (I like conceptual art as much as anyone else, fwiw…)
Well you’ve got a lot of great recommendtions in general on this post, but while we’re on the topic of war movies:
Yah, OP seems to like war movies, so I’d add:
dunno I don’t use mobile clients for piefed… I think there’s one but don’t know much about it.
I use prepaid cards for Twitch and similar online services. It’s great because they always try to dark-pattern you into subscriptions, but then they’re all plaintive when your account runs out and they don’t have a credit card to perpetually drain. (actually, it’s more like “stages of grief”… first it’s alarmist: “your payment has failed!!!” then it’s businesslike: “remember to re-subscribe!” THEN it’s plaintive: “(name of performer) misses you on Our Moneydraining Platform!” then it’s nostalgic: “remember the good times you had on Our Moneydraining Platform? It’s not too late to re-subscribe!”) However, there’s usually a slight extra charge for the cards.
Cash irl is great but a slight downside is making sure you’re always carrying enough. Also, if you drop it somewhere it’s just gone.
Piefed is awesome. I really like Scheduled Posts, as well as Feeds (which are collections of communities). There are only a couple reasons why keep my lemmy.world account: uploading images in comments is difficult in piefed, and I don’t think piefed supports custom preview for youtube videos yet. But I imagine those will be fixed at some point in the near future.
Well, how much light does it take to kill a vampire? A single photon? And what kind of vampire is it, bc for example Bram Stoker’s Dracula was ok with being outside in daylight.
a classic: “Hallowed Be Thy Name” by Iron Maiden.
I still remember the first time I heard that song.
Aw yeah, if you already know your rolls and breakfalls, Aikido is a great thing to check out. At lower levels, the “attacks” are basically two-person katas, usually involving escaping from grabs. At upper levels they do have something called randori but even then it’s all very structured. Aikido gets made fun of sometimes for not having a “live” adversary who’s actively trying to beat you. I’ve read there are some dojos that do competitive Aikido, but I think that’s rare.
In the martial arts, Tai Chi is the obvious answer.
Consider Aikido. It’s generally more like choreographed exercises. A lot of dojos are very understanding of physical constraints. Check with your doctor, it might be good way to gently test your limits. Plus, it’s important to know how to fall safely.
