Do you have any suggested learning material?

If you want a small, but horrifying, glimpse into what these industries are like then take a listen (I warned you). Hopefully lab grown meat one day wipes out these industries.
This is just another story of politicians siding with people lining there pockets though, I'm sure.

I was using some of the free ones, but eventually their VC funding runs out and it turns to a paid service instead. It doesn't have to be free, but if you have any to suggest, great! I guess I'm looking for a cheap option for an API that will probably be rarely hit.

Been putting off learning it for awhile but, feel like I'm ready to start getting into it finally. It does not seem that bad so far..

With all the recent One Piece hype I decided I wanted to get caught up so I can start watching the anime, so I started reading the manga.
I just have to say that wow, manga itself is really cool and I wish I started reading it sooner. Maybe it is just One Piece, as that is all I have been reading so far, but they are in such small bite size chapters that I can sit down and bang out a chapter or more often a few. I don't have as much time these days to sit and have anime binge sessions..so being able to enjoy it in this format is just great.
Anyway, I just got to....
spoilers below...for a ~17 year old episode, lol
Nico Robin's "I WANT TO LIVE" part and wow, I got shivers!I have not had feels like that for awhile in an episode. I love to look up clips in the anime after I finish reading it, like big fights or emotional parts, and that did not disappoint. Anyway, if anyone has not started One Piece and you are intimidated by the amount of episodes then definitely check out the manga. Its really good.

The job is..ok..but extremely unfulfilling. I've been at it for ~7 years now and while I'm still young-ish I cannot picture myself doing this forever. The pay is great for me as someone that did not go to college, and I have recently bought my first house with it. I just want to do something more interesting with my life. I'm in the process or teaching myself to code and thoroughly enjoy it and have fun with it. Maybe someday I'll learn enough to swap careers into web dev. It just sucks, I feel like I'm slowly destroying my body with this job. I'm very good at my job..but, it just eats away slowly at my soul everyday.

Comment on US pedestrian deaths are soaring. Is it time to ban right turns on red lights? in ~transport

It just seems like in the more recent years people just stopped caring about red lights. I see cars fly through red lights a good 3-5 seconds after it turns red, or people who don't think ahead (or don't care) and straight up block intersections because there is no room for them, then their light turns red and they are stuck there blocking the other lane of traffic from moving until they can move.
Indeed to, a general lack of awareness when it comes to making a right on red. Not looking where they are going, or not even a hint of stopping before making their turn. People just seem more careless these days. Maybe a lack of consequence and getting away with it all the time, maybe they are distracted by a cell phone. Who knows, but it sure is frustrating to drive for a living.

I usually plug it in ~30 min before my lunch and it is nice and hot when its time to eat. I don't remember the exact brand I have, but they all look the same really.

Comment on Multi-User Dungeons: Ten games still serving up text-based fun in 2023 in ~games

As someone that has been playing Legends of The Jedi (LoTJ) since at least 2005 its pretty crazy to see an article here mentioning it! For anyone interested in trying this game, it truly is amazingly fun. The staff in the most recent years has been hands down the best we have had through LOTJ's lifetime. There are so many updates that we get, QOL and new features, the coders do such an amazing job, its hard to recognize the game I was playing ~18 years ago.
We go through a timeline system. Usually what happens is we follow a timeline of sorts (old republic, empire, new republic), though this isn't always the case. The players drive the story and the staff usually make sure all players can get involved for BIG events. Usually at the end of each ERA (an ERA is the current arc of the story, so for example the beginning would be the old republic era, then final era would be the new republic era) there is a big event everyone can get involved in. Usually after the final era we have a pwipe( a player, wipe, where they delete everyones character for the new timeline).
For example, last timeline I was a Jedi (you have to be really lucky to get a Force sensitive character, or purchase one with our points system when you save up enough points). In the last era of the timeline, we were up against the Yevethan. For those that do not know, they are sort of like an organic race of beings that travel in organic ships and such who want to destroy the galaxy. Anyway, my goodness was it some of the most fun I've had in awhile. From freeing players that were captured by the Yevethan, to battling through an organic ship to deliver a viral payload to weaken the Yevethan forces enough to be destroyed, to the final battle on Coruscant where we destroyed their World Brain to send them running. Gathering up all allies and enemies alike, Sith and Jedi working together for one cause to save the galaxy. Hearing the screams of joy at a battle hard fought and won or of the deaths of friends you've spent so much time with in this timeline. Truly fun. It's why I have stuck around for so long.
If you guys are interested in checking it out, please be sure to. The community is so very friendly to new players. We love you guys, you are the lifeblood of our mud. Please stop by and check it out. Roleplay is top notch and the community is just truly great.

Thank you! Guess I know what I'm doing this weekend then! Looking forward to mucking around with it. Much appreciated 😁
