Or quit serving alcohol. 🤷‍♂️

Thank you for the advice.

So what’s the threshold to say when something that compresses is compressible?

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Give OP a hand. 👏

Are these things universal? Or are they specific to each unit?

Next they’ll say that women wearing pads of any kind (bra, shoulder, whatever else), heels, and does anything to style their hair is sexual assault. Maybe wearing jewelry or dressing up in nice clothes counts too? Or deodorant, perfume, body lotions?

Ooooh. This is the “barefoot and pregnant” trope from back in the day, just made to look nicer (kinda like a “makeup” of sorts to appear different).

I’d have responded sooner, but I had my blinders on at work.

And to that I say, “Neigh!”

You should really watch Tim Travers and the Time Traveller’s Paradox.

It’s only weird when you correlate “great” with only being a good thing. In and of itself , “great” is neither good nor bad. It simply describes a thing as more than average or normal.

e.g. The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were both great tragedies. They were also very bad things.

e.g. Having a calm and rational discussion on the Internet is a great idea. It is also positive and reaffirming.

Both my kids (13 and 11) aren’t fans of reading, but there are some books they can’t put down (One Piece and Jujutsu Kaizen manga). And honestly, I’m all for it if it gets them excited about reading and not glued to their screens.

I even read the books once they are done with them. It’s kinda like a little book club. 🤷‍♂️

~My only complaint is that the selection at the library is thin and incomplete.~

So sick, you might need to take a (paid) day to recover.

 

I will miss you. I hope that whatever’s out there will finally give you the long-deserved sense of peace and safety you never got in this life. You deserve it.

The boys will miss you too. Fridays will never be the same (Who’s that at the door? Is that the boys? Go get ‘em!!).

I miss you so much.

 

About a month ago, I posted my best time on a 3x3 Rubik’s Cube (1:23.033). After learning a new opening technique, and lots of practice, I am proud to say my new best time is now 1:09.825!!

The image are my times tonight. I started at 1:16.428, and I hit some tough solves before finishing at my new best. I never imagined I’d be this close to 1:00.

But that’s for another day. I’m ending my night on a high note. Good night, Fediverse.

First, I want to say that I will be talking to a vet about this as soon as I can. In the meantime, I am hoping someone here might have experience and could help ease my mind. These spots all of a sudden showed up on my dog under her front-right leg. It does not appear to bother her when I press on it, and has not grown in size. She is less than 5 years old, and spends most of her time inside. There do not appear to be any indications of a bite mark or other laceration. As far as I know, she has not been exposed to any chemicals. I bathed her two weeks ago.

Any ideas?

 

So I have a recipe that ended with “tent with aluminum foil and let rest for 5 minutes.” I never heard this phrase before, so I looked it up. There were multiple lengthy articles (for example) and it all comes down to: cover your food in aluminum foil to keep moisture from evaporating.

😡

That’s 5 minutes I will never get back.

~One article went so far as to suggest using broom handles or sticks. That one was kinda funny. 😂~

 

I jokingly mentioned using space mirrors recently approved by the US FCC (Federal Communications Commission).

@MrEff@lemmy.world was kind enough to jump headfirst down the rabbit hole and provide some back of the napkin numbers for cost, return on investment, and other numbers. Truly “doing the Lord’s work” and very deserved of credit and aww.

Original comment.

My oldest can do ~53 seconds. I’ll never be THAT good, but damn I’m getting close.

 

My state is actively ruining employees’ lives by reducing taxes for businesses (less revenue), which is making it so that the state cannot afford raises and are constantly increasing healthcare costs for employees.

I would love to do something, and the only thing I can think of that would have any meaningful impact would be to sue the state. But I have no idea what that process would take, nor do I personally have funds to hire a lawyer.

I hear about class-action lawsuits all the time, and would be interested in understanding their process better.

  1. How would I find a lawyer/firm that would be interested in taking the case?
  2. Can you even sue a state for this sort of thing?
  3. Aside of maintaining my anonymity to avoid retaliation, what else should I be aware of in case this process gets off the ground?

Edit: Clarity

 

I have an old Xbox One X (the 1tb model) that I would love to turn into a Linux box to do self hosting. While I do my best to find tutorials online for installing Linux, I was hoping I could pick y’all’s brains on your experiences for upgrading:

  1. Best hard drives to use (internal and/or USB3)?
  2. Can the RAM be upgraded?
  3. Can the Bluray be replaced with a hard drive?
  4. Anything else I’m missing and don’t know to ask about?

Thanks!

 

I have looked at software like Sweet Home 3D, OpenPlan3D, and various cloud-based services that cost money. As nice as they look, they each have severe limitations -- main the inability to create accurate measurements for walls. For example, Sweet Home 3D doesn't give enough precision to create a wall with a 9/16 fraction. OpenPlan3D the field is disabled.

I would like to be able to build a 2D floor plan, but also be able to convert it into a 3D model that I can then add furniture to for interior decorating. I would prefer open source, but would settle for simply free to use.

 

I am trying to connect to a .local website, and LibreWolf says it can't connect to server (one of the worst UX error pages I've seen). Google and DDG are of no help, and I do not want to resort to using another browser for something that should be simple to disable.

I have added my domain to network.dns.localDomains and that did not appear to work. I have "DNS over HTTPS" disabled completely. I do not know what else to try.

Please help.

 

A hob-byte.

~Looks like humor is back on the menu boys!~

 

You all have spoken, and we have listened. The team and I, as well as Lemmy.world Admins, have come to an agreement that any artist/comic that is deemed to be transphobic, racist, or in any other way demonstrates bigotry toward any group or minority will be removed from circulation. We will keep a list of banned artists in the sidebar and update it as new artists are uncovered.

Now, let's discuss details:

  1. You the reporter have the burden of proof for why an artist or comic breaks this rule; ¸ "they're fascist/racist/sexist/it's Tuesday" is not sufficient
  2. Repeated posting of banned artists will result in progressive punishment/moderated actions, up to being permanently banned
  3. Think Paradox of Tolerance when determining what bigotry means; e.g.,
    • Demeaning conservatives or other politicians (e.g., Devil's Panties) is not rule breaking
    • Demeaning women, the LGBTQ+ community, etc is rule breaking
    • Anything we consider to be a bad faith post, or trying to skirt the rules because of some perceived loophole

The current list of banned artists include:

  1. Jago
  2. Stonetoss

This is not an all-encompassing list, and are subject to moderator's (and admin's) final decisions. Questions, feedback, and playful banter are always welcome.
