I love gospel music. I don't mean the overproduced crap they play at megachurches, I'm talking about a piano, bass, and a stomp/clap choir in a black southern community church led one or more strong, usually female, singers.

I've never heard this music that wasn't about God and that kind of puts me off so I'm wondering...is there gospel MUSIC without the gospel LYRICS?

[Edit]I'm talking Blues Brother church scene music - thanks shittydwarf for the link

I just moved into this house and was back there to think about what to plant and was quite happy to find this. It's behind a big pine tree and I can't see it from the windows or patio. I was just back there a week or two ago so it was quite a surprise.

I think they came from my neighbor's yard. But the interesting part (to me) is it's the neighbor on the opposite side and there's no peonies in between.

I might get some more and turn that area into a flowerbed with some ground cover.

Hey guys, sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this (feel free to point me to a better community) but I'm in a weird "predicament" this summer: My AMD build plans are in shambles after receiving a free ROG Astral 5080.

Now I want to make the switch now with my current (Intel i7-13700K) hardware + this new card. I was only considering AMD before but it's really hard to say no to a video card worth more than my entire budget lol

The slightly worse performance compared to Windows is still an upgrade from my 3070 so that's fine - It's initial/recurring troubleshooting I don't really want to deal with. Most of the info I've found is from earlier this year and no one speaks highly of the beta drivers

Sorry if this is a stupid question but am I setting myself up for disappointment with this new plan? I have a few more related questions I'll toss in the comments but that's my main concern.

Do you think we could get an "About Community" button on there, too?

Forgot I had to give my dog an unexpected bath yesterday and used all the clean towels

Example comment

It renders correct in a browser but all the line breaks are replaced with a weird symbol in the app.

Not a big deal or anything but I wanted to share!

~~None of them do anything~~

Now they do! If you're getting the same issues, update to the newest beta

I have a "flexible" WFH schedule which means I'm almost always working from home. Today, I've been lured in with an NDA breakfast with a manufacturer.

So you know what that means: 1 hour of "yum I love breakfast sandwiches" followed by 6 hours of "why did I think that would be worth the drive?"

My friends and I were active Twitter users up until it got sold and the only reason my account isn't deleted already is because I have a LOT of memories there.

I looked into downloading the tweets.js archive but that seems to be only what I wrote, not the original tweet if it's a reply. Having the full conversations that led to in-jokes is what I'm after!

I understand why this would be very complicated and to add to that, half of our profiles are set to private so The Way Back Machine and other public services won't work. Media would be nice but it's not a requirement.

Does something like this exist?

The bolts for the handle prevent going from top to bottom in one motion across the whole door so I had to adapt. Over time, I've become pretty good at removing all the water to prevent streaks when it dries even on the sleepiest of mornings.

I saw a post referencing Lemmy's "obsession with beans" and it made me think of this.

Despite narwhals and bacon becoming something you say sarcastically to make fun of redditors for the past 10+ years, some users here tried to make "beans" the Lemmy equivalent and for a week or two, half the posts here were about beans....then it thankfully stopped.

Since then I've seen a handful of bean references but a significantly larger amount of references to bean references.

Beans were a blip in the Lemmy timeline and i's like gaslit us into thinking Lemmy is actually obsessed with beans. The posts/comments get upvoted but...where are the beans?

Just thought that was kinda funny.

Today I was reading about a band I hadn't heard of (Republic of Loose) and thought the singer looked like someone I had seen in a music video for another band.

In this video, the actor in question is laying on his back with the ocean under him (as if filmed off the edge of a ship). I believe it was made recently.

This is Mick (Mik?) Pyro:

He doesn't totally look like the guy I'm trying to find but close enough to make me remember the video.

It is NOT Matt Berry. The actor I'm thinking of has short hair.

This is really stupid but when I first saw the video, I thought it was the guy from that old Hugh Mungus video:

What is the name of this actor?? It's driving me crazy!
