BearGun@ttrpg.networkto Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml•My computer build now includes a piece of structural 8.5x11 printer paper.211·8 months agoAccording to this article, the average temp for paper to ignite is ~230° C (or ~455° F, Fahrenheit 451 anyone?).

BearGun@ttrpg.networkto World News@lemmy.ml•World demands end to Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine in landslide UN vote28·11 months agoWe used to be “neutral” (even though even then the argument was threadbare at best), but then we went and joined NATO. Can hardly call us neutral now. Even outside of that though, neutrality should not mean you can’t call out countries/organisations for doing horrendous shit like war crimes and genocide.
We’ve publicly condemned Russia for the invasion of Ukraine (among other things) and i think China for something else (was it about Taiwan or Hong Kong or something? I don’t recall). There’s no real reason not to do the same with Israel outside of not wanting to anger the US.

BearGun@ttrpg.networkto World News@lemmy.ml•'Funeral for Nature' Taking Place Globally this Weekend - with One UK City Set to be 'Bathed in Blood'8·1 year agoIf by “be fine” you mean “survive”, then yes, almost certainly.
