I think that's why she and fans are upset. If you don't like art objectively, that's fine. But executives are supposed to make opinions based on financial viability moreso than art. Usually to the detriment of artistic vision.

In this case, it seems there is a beloved franchise, with a baked in audience. There is a buzzy oscar award director attached and it's taken years to get it off the ground. Recent similar revivals for less loved franchises, like dexter and scrubs (which I love personally) have been successful. Even if the show is mildly successful, it's likely going to cause an increase in interest in the already made and paid for 7 series of Buffy and possible 5 series of angel.

So,.it seems to not make sense, financially and seems more personal. I'm surprised she's criticizing the producer as I assume that will burn bridges for her career in general, but I think it goes to show the passion of all those involved. The fans have faith as she's resisted being in reboots before due to the script and idea not being faithful.

But doesn't the plug based amp mitigate the very problem you're worried about at the appliance level?

Nor the sacrifice of so many dead. It’s seen, historically, as a tactical error, though.

Yes. Simple sugars that bacteria process to make acid, that eats into the tooth.

Our mouths aren't sterile, so there is always some plaque. Most meals, there is some sugar, even if low carb. Most fruits and vegetable contain sugars. When raw, they won't cause decays but cooking can caramelise and make simple sugars.

Sugar, plaque plus time is what's needed. Cut down on any of the three and there's less decay. It's also worth bearing in mind that decay is a back and forth process. Every meal it advances. Then saliva repairs before the next meal. Too much sugar and not enough gaps between meals (snacks) and decay becomes a cavity.

The obvious question is: Of what?

Alcohol? Saltwater? Milk?

Water was chosen as it's common and repeatable and an arbitrary scale was made. It's logical but it's not profound. Any accepted range of a repeatable pair of temperatures could be used.

I prefer metric as it's based on logic and I'm familiar with it, but it's utility is not because it's based on water.

While also making everyone afraid due to violent criminals roaming the streets.

You can have punitive damages too.

Yes, but they didn't enter out of a sense of duty or morals is my point. It is the most significant event of the last century and they opted to stay out of it until it affected them ..it goes against the narrative of the USA being a defendor of the world order and a moral authority.

Stalingrad was less about Russia, more about Hitlers hubris and general winter. Similar to what the USA is finding out now. Some terrains and territory is harder to attack successfully.

For decay, you need plaque, food and time. Remove the plaque and you don’t get decay even with food. Brush after eating and you help remove plaque and food, but if it was acidic, you need to wait 30+ minutes or you’ll do more harm than good.

So either can work. Personally, I brush before breakfast as I want my mouth fresh and clean to enjoy my food.

Brushing is more linked with reducing gum disease, than tooth decay. Tooth decay is more linked with sugar frequency intake, cutting down sugar events prevents decay more than choosing the optimum time to brush.

Yes but with a decent web browser.

The app store came soon after and is what really kicked things off. It was popular as a phone before the app store. It was a phenomenon once there was an app store. Queues overnight on the street.to buy one.

Yes, but the USA entering is what turned it around. Remember America stayed out of WW2 until they were bombed by japan. Due to their geographic location, they stayed out until they were attacked. There was no moral entry to the war.

When Ai models get good enough that it doesn’t look cheap and lazy?

It’s a shame, they could probably even get a good one for pretty cheap if they tried.

 

When I go to a post with video media, on iPad, there doesn't seem to be a way to exit. For images, they can be swiped away or touch outside to exit. For videos, ice tried different gestures and there is no back button or X.

I use Android daily, with a back swipe gesture, but there is no such gesture I'm aware of on iPad. Does anyone know how or should I submit a bug or feature request?

 

I’m trying to set containers for some websites on a shared windows terminal with multiple users under the same login. We use some cloud software and each user has their own log in. Manually opening websites in container manager allows this, but I’m struggling to do so for opening in container for the home page.

Each log in just launches in the default container (unassigned). I’ve tried using bookmark tree, which seems to support containers, but I can’t get it to work. Assigning a site to always open in a container doesn’t seem to work either as it’s the same site for multiple users (which seems to be the purpose of multi account container), so if it always opens in container A, person B still needs to manually open in their container.

 

I just recently got the 190 update pushed. It mentioned lots of fixes. One was image handling.

I have found that now exiting an image is a bit slow or glitchy. A single gesture to go back does not exit and instead it needs two. Tapping an image instead still closes it but there is a delay that wasnt there before.

I'm on a pixel 7pro with gesture navigation.

 

My phone coverage stopped for a period. I was using connect at the time and a comment failed. I initially thought it was a big but noted after restarting, it still was out. Then I checked with a test search to find it was all internet.

A few minutes later internet was back. Went back into Lemmy and refreshed. No data showing. I checked down-for-me for my instance and it was up. Refreshed again. No data.

Again restarted app and it was fine then. So, it seems he connection outage did not allow refresh after it came back, despite a restart during the outage.
