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

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

Let's hope he gets beaten to the punch by the pinkest pink guy

509 "states?" Chances that could include political subdivisions of many more countries.

Cats are liquid

Change my mind.

To my mind pop:

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

Nah, cutting off the ads would be just fine. You'd in fact be doing the world a service.

OwO

I tried swiping down with my index and middle finger, but it does nothing. I'm outta options. You're on your own. Sorry mate.

Yee-claw mate!

NL here: driving education is something you have to do at driving schools, separate from regular schools. Getting your license requires a written exam (traffic rules, hazard recognition, stuff like that) and a practical exam, with both the practical and all lessons done in regular traffic. If you see a car with a blue square sign with a white L in it, that's a student driver.

It also costs a few thousand euros to go through the process. Though getting your license for cars does often get you a license for some other vehicles. Mine came with a moped license.

My suggestion would be to:

• Move to a place where not driving is a viable way of getting about. If you already live there, great!
• Get a lifetime transit pass and consider getting a bicycle
• Ditch your car and never look back

It would have made more sense if a ghost refused to go to the ball.

I just realised that this is an ether, not an ester 🤦‍♂️

Let me quickly draw up something new...

Really though, the most ardent defence of USC units is fuelled by great amounts of Copium. The US Customary set of measurements is several independent systems of measurements which often radically different origins and sometimes irrational conversions, all stacked upon each other and dressed in a trench coat. For instance, the mile has Roman origins while the inch and foot were defined separately, much later, and with a lot of regional variation. The French foot was longer than the English foot, which is why Napoleon was listed as 5'2" tall while he was actually closer to 5'9", or 1.71 m, which was pretty average for the time.

Which one of these is more straightforward to calculate:

• You are tasked with installing a rail along a 1 mile long bridge. You know you can use two half inch bolts to affix it every three feet. How many bolts do you need?
• You are tasked with installing a rail along a 1,5 km long bridge. You know you can use two M12 bolts to affix it every metre. How many bolts do you need?

Conversions within dimensions in USC require you to memorise arbitrary conversion numbers. Conversions within dimensions in SI require you to move the comma a few spots.

Besides, if the US Customary system of units is so great, why did most of the world voluntarily switch to SI units?

With that attitude it will be. Just because it's a hassle does not mean it's not worth doing.

You cannot complain about it being literally 1984 if you're larping as the Ministry Of Truth 😛

I was at a party a few weeks ago and when we needed to use a web browser, one of the first things that happened was one of the attendees taking the computer to install FireFox.

For today's lucky ten thousand.
