Iron Lynx

Orange? Wait until Dutch football fans hear that. Would make NL during a Euro Cup or World Cup an absolutely ✨ fabulous ✨place xD

Use chapstick

How I get around that: Wait until my girl uses hers, then kiss her.

It’s a bit of a running meme between us.

Confusing… My instance is .world, and I similarly subscribe to communities regardless of instance. So seeing a .ml link had me go 🚨 tankie instance for a second, conveniently failing to notice that A: that post is in .world, but seem from .ml; and B: this post is in .ml.

My bad 😅

Though I would suggest OP to see if they can fix the link to one that changes the specific link based on the visitor’s instance

I once saw a video report on bullshit jobs, where they also interviewed a researcher into how much value is gained or destroyed by various professions.

They said that for every £1 (the researchers worked in the UK) given to marketing executives, that society suffered £11 in lost value.

ETA: The video in question (Dutch, with a few local English bits)

There’s a city in France - Toulouse, IIRC EDIT: Correction: it is Grenoble - where the mayor ran on a promise that “if you elect me, I’ll remove all the billboards.” Turns out that was really popular, so now that city does not have any billboards.

ETA: A video about it. (Dutch, but it has (auto-generated) English subtitles)

Especially given that the above link points to lemmy.ml, an instance notorious for harbouring tankies & amplifying pro-authoritarian talking points.

The link is .ml but points to a thread in .world. My bad 😅

I’ve blocked one page that’s posting mostly in Russian, one page that’s posting mostly in Croatian, and beyond that a number of overrepresented, locally US centric ones. About stuff like the NFL or the Bay Area.

WAR! HOO!
What is it good for?! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING MAKING FRIES TASTY!

Tbh, I prefer Special, which is just the mayo, onions and curry sauce or ketchup.

Shoarma or döner kebab, cheese, garlic sauce, a bit of sriracha or sambal, and some greens.

Or if I’m feeling simple, mayo and a bit of mustard.

Because you made a seemingly insightful response to what I’m pretty sure is sketch comedy.

… Are you sure I am the one you wanted to make this response to?

Hell if I know, but it came from The Hole^TM

The official reason is so that Big G is the default search engine on every install.

But that may very well just be a smokescreen.

NGL, Orphaniser or Orphanizer sounds like one hell of a metal band name

I’m assuming the Lemmy system is Bobby Tables proof here 😅

And no mention of ordering ; DROP TABLE orders;-- beers?

To my mind pop:

• Save states (quicksave, load, stuff like that)
• New Game Plus
• Short range teleport, because why not.

Re: GFCI’s

At least in my country, GFCI’s are required to be fitted in the fuse box, to protect the entire building. Not just rooms which are prone to ground faults. In the American type, the protection is optional.

Meanwhile, let’s also face that EV’s have to carry around large batteries. One advantage that ICE cars do have is the power density [J/kg] of petroleum fuel is leaps and bounds better than that if a lithium battery. This means that EV’s are likely to produce more road noise from rolling, the dominant source of noise above 50 km/h, as well as more wear to the roads, since wear is a function of vehicle mass to some pretty high power. (I thought it was m^(4), but I’m not sure)

On top of that, while EV’s don’t have any tailpipe emissions, the power that they need still needs to come from somewhere. Thus the carbon emissions for use are a function of the national power grid of the place where you’re charging your car.

Thus, A) if cars are already a fairly small part of the transportation mix, B) steps are taken to further improve the quality and availability of alternatives to cars, and C) the power grid is dominated by nuclear power and/or renewables, then EV’s could be better for the environment.
