I think this sufficiently sums up my take:

The fact that that's an option at all makes Lemmy considerably better than Reddit.

Edit: You know what, nevermind. I don't think I actually want to debate this today. It's been an alright day so far and I don't want to fuck it up like I'm sure this argument would.

I strongly suspect that this was all by design. If they jail them in US prisons, it's very easy for them to be released. When they're being held by a foreign government, it's very difficult to force them to release them, especially when they know the president doesn't actually want them released in the first place. I'd even wager there's an under the table agreement that they won't release them, even if pressed.

Holy shit, what a story. The fact that so many people tried to get him help when he was a kid and the wellness checks and whatnot just completely failed to discover any of this, while based on the accounts of what he was doing at school something was clearly very wrong, is pretty messed up.

The fact that there were other kids at the house is wild, too. How did none of them say anything to anyone? They had to know he was there, right?

This is hilarious mainly because all he had to do was type /DND and he could have stopped all of this, which anyone who had actually played the game for any substantial amount would know, but of course he doesn't, because he just paid people to play it for him.

That's fine, nothing wrong with that, but it's right in the rules, and will probably result in this post getting removed. Just letting you know before it does.

Clean jokes only please. If you cannot tell this joke to a 5-year-old, you probably shouldn’t post it here. Please post edgier jokes to !unclejokes@lemmy.world

You seem to be lost; you're probably looking for !unclejokes@lemmy.world.

(Also, this is some pretty boomer shit.)

Where is this / what company is it with? This is pretty amazing.

Even if they do, unless Musk divests entirely, they can still get fucked. As long as hurting Tesla hurts Musk, they're just a means to an end.

That's a good point; it becomes less economical if you need multiple of these cells just to counteract the self-discharge. Even so, it's really just a demo of the technology; they do mention they expect to have a 1 watt model later this year.

Almost nothing... Maybe some very basic scientific equipment, but they do note that they'd be able to use multiple batteries layered to produce higher output, and that they're expecting to have a 1 watt version later this year; that'd be far more useful in practice.

This is wild; the battery would outlive the electronics it's powering in almost all cases.

The output is incredibly tiny, but I wonder if it could be used to trickle-charge a higher-output battery for use in electronics that only need to be used infrequently for short durations.

Holy shit, that's awful. Sorry your dad is awful, but good on you for cutting ties.

If you hang around long enough, you'll get a DM from someone named Nicole, aka the Fediverse Chick, trying to phish you into clicking some probably sketchy links. I don't think anyone really knows the story behind it. There's a whole community dedicated to it at !nicole@feddit.org

Thought this was a Nicole parody at first.

Can we call you the Fediverse Dude?

That's correct, it is, but that has nothing to do with the post I was replying to, which claimed

Anything not to paint Israel as child murderers, I guess.

Either way, I'd say that the the lede they did use - 'Israeli airstrikes killed at least 100 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip on Thursday[...]' - is just fine.

What would you have had them call it?

Israeli strike on a school in Gaza kills at least 14 children, 5 women, and (presumably) 8 men, Palestinian health officials say"?

As it happens, children, women, and men are all 'people', and using the collective term makes for a more concise title. It's not like they're sugarcoating what actually happened.

The bodies of 14 children and five women were recovered from the school in the Tuffah neighborhood of Gaza City

It's literally the first sentence of the second paragraph.
