She has a website that very clearly explains her platform.

If submerged land can be called continents, where’s the line between what is and isn’t a continent?

Tropical fish and cats being the same effort is absolute madness.

Have you tried setting up a saltwater aquarium? I cry just watching tutorials.

My only issue with Mint Cinnamon is it doesn’t have badges for notifications on app icons. For example, when you get a Discord message.

It’s a really weird omission.

I don’t think bulbs use a whole lot of energy these days. A 10W LED bulb would cost $14 per year to run constantly (US pricing). An old 60W bulb would be $83 per year in comparison.

But there’s probably no reasoning with someone who decorated that room.

Math:

LED bulb power = 10W

Electricity cost in US = $0.161 per kWh

Running 1 bulb 24 hrs a day = 0.24kWh

Price per day = $0.038

Price per year = $14, running 1 bulb constantly

That’s also a legal issue with autonomous cars.

Autonomous cars can also get into basically the trolley problem. If an accident is unavoidable, but the car can swerve and kill its own passenger to avoid killing more people in a larger wreck, should it? And would that end up as more liability for whoever takes the blame?

Not to brag, but my mom let me have her old palm pilot from work.

Guess I was pretty cool when I peaked 20 years ago.

Honestly I’m more disappointed that this isn’t the first time on Lemmy that I’ve seen someone delete a post and then try to make a big scene about how they didn’t like the responses they got and were giving up on a community.

Lemmy has so little content that your complaint post gets to be top of a community for a while, so that’s nice.

You’re not the main character, people are entitled to opinions, and you don’t have to care or take them personally. It’s the internet, there will always be someone who complains even if it’s entirely unwarranted.

This is one of my worries with a growing wealth disparity in the world.

The average person is starting to get priced out of any luxury entertainment because there are wealthy people with unreasonable amounts of money to throw at whatever they feel like.

There will always be rich people who can pay whatever price a company asks for.

There’s a reason everyone needs to be vaccinated.

But I don’t expect you to read that because if you wanted to understand reality, you would have already.

What do you use for tiling? I’ve been curious about this setup, but the software setup sounds like a pain compared to 2 monitors.

I’m so glad the bird sex has been loud this year, thanks.

because they are secretive

The noise can be heard up to three miles away.

So shy.

Curtains instead of cabinet doors under the counter.

That’s a new one for me. I guess cabinet doors are expensive.

I prefer to flip the PSU switch to the wrong position. Because there’s no other point in time when I ever use that switch.

It’s not really clear whether the variance scales linearly with weight. We only know 1 data point. It could be bracketed for different weight groups.

Obligatory definitions of fascism #8:

Fascist societies rhetorically cast their enemies as “at the same time too strong and too weak”.

Similar with the woman who spilled McDonald’s coffee on her lap and sued. International joke because of McDonald’s smear campaign, but it turned out their coffee was legitimately served too hot to cut costs.

Maybe they were “just following orders”.

It definitely doesn’t work like that.

Even 20 layers of that stuff is still like using wax paper to schmear melted chocolate.

I think you’re describing diffusion versus the typical reflection where all light continues in the same direction. In this case the light diffuses, scattering in every direction. Because of that scattering, no specific point will receive a significant amount of energy to burn anything.
