Just like orbiting something. Satellites are constantly just falling back to earth, but with enough grace to always miss earth. I bet satellites would be great cyclists!

The puzzling part is fun, because you are constantly learning new ways to use your body. See how to balance, how to move around, etc. I have found that dancing gives a similar learning challenge. Especially the more free-form dances like salsa and bachata. It's fun learning new moves every week during the lesson, and then try to see if you can put them to practise during a party.

And don't worry about beeing to stiff. If you can balance around boulders, you can get your body to move around for dancing too. Just takes some practise. I currently do both, and feel like I lack dexterity more for the climbing than for the dancing.

And unlike most of the hand-friendly options mentioned already, you do have to use your hands and arms a lot. Just not in a way that puts any stress on them.

It is a matter of responsibility. If you can log into any lemmy instance or mastodon server with the same account, then which server takes responsibility for your actions in the fediverse?

I have seen instances be defederate from because of their lax account creation requirements, or because of harrasment from users from a specific instance.

If an account can log into any instance, then who is responsible for banning the account?

  1. It reduces the barrier of entry for new users to get an account going that is not flooded by political extremist views in it's feed.
  2. It causes anonymous users to not see they shitshow. And since most users start out by browsing anonymously while deciding whether they want an account or not, that is a big deal.
  3. It gives the impression that this community is at least somewhat ok with the views that these extremists hold.

It should be opt-in to view posts and comments from these sources.

According to wikipedia, Noord Brabant and Drenthe. My "research" hasn't gone any deeper than that.

The only reason the Netherlands has that high a number, is because of the hill on which the Dutch, German, and Belgian borders meet. If you take Limburg out of the equation, the next highest point is 110 meters.

In two of the Dutch provinces, the highest point is a garbage dump hill.

Our group played this system for a short bit. We loved the social combat system and the pooled resources. A good DM can absolutely make it feel like a Star Trek episode. Our problem with the system, is that you have to play the lawfull good guys for it to work well; just like a Star Trek episode. Our group likes to play morally grey.

I would drop any reflavouring in favour of making it fun to be a cook outside of combat.

What does his character want to achieve? And what are his ideals? Then try to give him objectives to work towards.

For example: his goal might be to find a fabled ingredient. You can then drop hints on where to find it. Or he might want to be the most renowned chef in the world, after which you insert a cooking competition that requires special ingredients (that just so happens to be found in the same dungeon the party was supposed to head to anyway).

As for examples on ideals: Feed anyone that is hungry (without harming them via the food). Try to cook/eat anything (causing them to want to hunt/gsther stuff. Never use your hands to fight, to keep them clean for cooking (might need some reflavouring of abilities).

These examples make, that his cooking gives his character a reason to do things, rather then just be the thing he does.

Neither of you will remember how many dice were used to slay that monster. But the memory of how his character sliced up the monster for ingredients, only for some treasure or quest item to pop out of the belly, will certainly remain.

Discord also does group calls, with or without video. In a server, a 'channel' can be a voice channel instead of a text channel, or you can start calls directly with people.

It is only logical that an algorithm trained on the ways of a Vulcan, is precise and accurate in it operation and communication. Vastly more fascinating are the result when you ask it to behave like a human.

The problem with C++ is not the lack of safety features. It's the ever lasting backwards compatibility that is keeping it both alive and down at the same time.

Having to support 50 year old code, is going to limit any restriction you place. But it is usually the restrictions that make a language good.

Example: You can write perfectly good modern C++ code without any pointers. But pointers are so ingrained into the language, that it is impossible to remove them.

Google is not a mobile phone network provider. SMS routing is not really their cup of tea. It is an industry with lots of established players, lota of local issues, and little to gain for Google. If it where up to Google, everyone would be using their app instead of SMS.
