In anakin’s defense, the Jedi intentionally kept him away from Shmi. They basically forced him to go no-contact; and being the child he was had no reason to realize how creepy-cult-y that is

I spent far too much time looking for a second cat under the blanket.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•For those of you with LineageOS and rely on F-Droid/FOSS apps, how do you make extra money without gig apps like DoorDash?English
2·1 day agoFor what little it’s worth, here you can’t have a felony conviction and legally work in corrections (or even as a security guard.)(though a lot of desperate security cos will ignore that until they get shut down for not running/ignoring the background checks.)

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Has Family Feud ever gone back and given someone an answer they got right?English
6·3 days agoBut what kind of wood? Generic shop class sawdust? Pine (yellow? White?), Cedar. Juniper.
sandalwood is very specific, and of course “yeah that’s what they meant”…. Because of course they meant the right answer. If the right answer bad been cedar, I bet they would have meant that instead.
There’s no way to know either way, so they go to specific answers as the standard. Otherwise people will cheat.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Would taking a tbs of olive oil before each meal lower the GI of everything else you eat?English
6·3 days agoIt might give the squirts. It anything serious-like. But enough to be uncomfortable. (It can soften stool if you’re constipated, but it’s not a strong laxative.)
For the record, that is not a healthy way to loose weight. And “cleanses” are at best useless.

News@lemmy.world•Sentence tossed in Arizona case where deceased victim was depicted speaking in AI-generated videoEnglish
72·3 days agoGood.
it can mimic a person’s speech patterns. It can even mimic the kinds of things that they might say or focus on.
but the message will never be from the victim. It’ll be from the people who had it put together… the family, or whoever. the family is already allowed to speak, so why let them make up a creepy-ass-video?
The only exception I’d give is to defrost the windshield since you can really drive like that.
Which is a regular need for a lot of people in the north. I’d make a comment about Minnesota being like that, but the Canadians would chime in and be like “oh you think thats cold”.
Not that I mind Canadians so much, it’s just I’m grumpy they haven’t invaded us yet.
It depends on where you are- and usually it’s basically on the same level as a parking ticket, and frequently at the city level, not state. Most cities will say something and you can get out of it by arguing “you’ve done it for years and so does everyone else” (it’s usually only enforced if you annoy the cops some how.)

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Which one do YOU prefer: Japanese & Korean cuisine?English
1·4 days agoDepends on my mood.
Also on what’s nearby
So at the risk of being “that guy”, cars eventually turn themselves off. It’s also frequently some degree of illegal to leave your car running and unattended in a lot of places.
Like in Minnesota, can’t start the car and let it warm up. (Partly to reduce the opportunity of thieves. Partly because people get distracted and let it go for hours, affecting air quality. And partly because their tiny dicks froze.)

News@lemmy.world•Supreme Court intervenes in dispute over Kentucky church's plan to build shrine on residential landEnglish
27·4 days agoA neighborhood family, concerned that the project would exacerbate traffic problems, successfully challenged the zoning board’s decision in state court. The family also opposed the group’s Supreme Court petition, arguing there is no basis for the nation’s highest court to intervene in the local zoning dispute.
The opponents say the church group knew that zoning ordinances barred it from building the shrine on neighboring residential land when it acquired the property. The opponents also argue that the group hasn’t demonstrated why it couldn’t build the shrine on church land.
Religious freedom doesn’t allow you to make everything else worse. This seems exactly like the kind of thing that should be shut down.

Cooking @lemmy.world•Reverse sear on some NY strips for steak sandwichesEnglish
13·5 days agoBasically, you cook it low and slow until it comes to temp, then let it rest (account for overcooking,) then sear it off after its come back down enough to not go back above the target doneness.
It’s like a poor man’s souls vide, and works great.
The advantage over traditional sear and pan fry/grilling is that it’s more controlled and less likely to go over, letting get the perfect crust and perfect sear. The disadvantage is that it takes more time. It can also be fully cooked ahead of time and the steaks seared off quickly if you’re doing a party.
Compared to sous vide it’s generally faster, doesn’t need to be bagged and generally can be done with what you already have in the kitchen, an it helps dry out the crust to set up a perfect sear. Sous vide has the most control, mind.
Don’t worry, they’ll find you.
I’m surprised that doesn’t sound like a threat. Normally, that sounds like a threat.








The book canon is invalidated by the Lars guy telling anakin that he bought shmi and freed her so she could be his wife.
