  • From the asbestos.com link someone else posted:

    Asbestos exposure is the primary cause of pleural mesothelioma, a rare and aggressive cancer, but inhaling asbestos also multiplies a smoker’s risk of developing lung cancer fiftyfold or greater.

    The carcinogenic risk of asbestos exposure and cigarette smoking is exponentially higher than the risk of each exposure added. This is known as the synergistic effect of asbestos exposure and smoking.



  • Seconding the recommendation for FreshRSS, it’s the one I ended up hosting when I looked into this a while back and it’s been really great. Takes a minute to get everything setup, especially if you want to have different settings for different types of feeds, but once it’s all set it’s perfect (for my needs at least).

    I’ve also got it setup with my domain so I can access the feed from anywhere and that’s been one of my favourite features.









  • I used to stream a bit back in the justin.tv days and I would usually only get a handful of viewers but even to this day, it was some of the most unique gaming experiences I had. I used to try and play games that no one was streaming/talking about and a couple of times I actually ended up with the devs watching the stream and those were such great memories.

    One time, I played this flash game where you had timed “lives” and the dev was watching (without me knowing) when I ran out of lives. I mentioned I’d be going to play something else while I waited for my lives to come back and he sent me a DM telling me that he would go and remove the timer so I could keep playing if I wanted.

    That being said, I haven’t streamed since then and I’m honestly not even sure how I’d start again. I don’t think I’d ever enjoy having a large audience but I definitely enjoyed playing with a few people helping out on what to do next.


  • I hadn’t kept up with Factorio much over the last little while but I’ve always appreciated how great the Friday Facts are.

    Not surprised by the overall theme of the expansion but I didn’t expect a different tech tree for “dlc playthroughs”. I think if it’s reshuffled correctly, it could really help give even the initial part of a playthrough a fresh feel and change up some of my usual strategies. Looking forward to reading about more of the details over the next year.




  • I would normally be inclined to agree but this isn’t one of those “omg I just had the most intelligent conversation with my 4-yo today”.

    It’s clearly someone sharing their hobby/job with their niece, and what better way to do that than by including them in a practical aspect. It also literally says they “helped her as she’s 4 years old”.

    You commenting is only bringing more attention to the post by increasing the comment count so maybe reevaluate your approach in the future if you’re so against wholesome content.
