State investigators say they are off the case, FBI solely in charge.

Gee, I wonder what Kash Patel's FBI will "discover" /S

Is there a list somewhere of everything you should turn off?

And that means that a million Americans are disabled by long covid every year as well.

Excellent clarification, thank you!

You are confusing "you can generally follow the plot" (which is what I said) with "paying attention gives you a richer, more entertaining and in-depth experience, with details you won't be aware of unless you physically watch".

To support life as we know it. We're constantly discovering life in places we didn't think it existed: thermal vents at the bottom of the ocean, caves sealed off from the outside world for millions of years, trapped inside crystals, in lakes under the antarctic ice.

Of course not, he's safer there behind the sandbags and she's much more out in the open ....

If you watch a lot of BBC stuff, you'll find that you can generally follow the plot without necessarily paying too much attention to the screen. In their case, it's because the BBC originated as a radio broadcaster and their script culture still reflects some of those old styles and practices. The fact that they maintain a robust radio play / audio drama production focus certainly doesn't hurt either.

They renamed one of their departments to the Department of War.

In 1939, President Franklin D. Roosevelt moved the Thanksgiving holiday to the next to last Thursday of November, one week earlier than its traditional observance. This change was intended to help boost the economy by providing an extra seven days for Christmas shopping.

 

Sean Dunn faced single misdemeanor offense after federal grand jurors refused to indict him on the felony charge sought by prosecutors.

 

Like many others, when the reddit APIcalypse happened, I moved to the fediverse. Like many, I wasn't sure what it really consisted of, how it worked, or what instance to move to. Eventually I decided to sign up with kbin.social. Ernest was welcoming, the instance was friendly with a nice mix of topics, the community was great, having access to both threadiverse and microblogs was great, and I loved it.

And then Ernest started having health issues and the instance became unstable. Eventually I moved to fedia/mbin, which I enjoy a lot, but I just haven't quite felt that same sense of belonging - I don't know, maybe the new job just kept me away a bit too much, or I'm getting old, or just been through too many changes. But I've kept kbin on my launch page, and sometimes I find myself a bit wistful for it.

I poked at the internet, and the kbin.social domain expires in a few days, on 10 September, which I suppose will be a formal end to the project. In memory of kbin, I'd like thank Ernest: wherever you are, I hope you are well and enjoying your life. Thank you for the concepts behind and your work on kbin; I love the bridging of the microblogs and threadiverse. And thank you for making the transition to the fediverse less confusing to this old redditor. I wish you the best in life, and thank you again.

 

Sorry if I'm in the wrong place. Is there a setting where I can turn off people's ability to PM me? The spamgirl is annoying me, and I'm sure more will follow in her wake.

On other sites with spam issues, I'd turn off the ability for people to PM me and, if they asked on a thread I was on, I'd either re-enable PMs or add them to an approved users list. I thought I'd seen that ability here (I'm on the plain web version of fedia.io), but may well have been confusing it with some other site.

Thank you!

Unsilent Night is happening 6pm Sunday; meet at the Guardhouse at Rittenhouse Square. The music you hear changes on how many people are playing which tracks, where you are in the crowd, and how the environment you're moving through reflects or deadens the sound. It's pretty cool - join us for a (cold) stroll on Sunday evening!

 
 

There are five games to play, including a strike-themed take on Wordle.
