Can it view PNGs that are larger than 16k by 16k pixels (90MB)? I’ve had trouble with that today with Linux Mint’s default viewer.

People taking away resources meant for people who actually need them just because they feel like it are assholes.

another charge slapped on for lying to law enforcement

Context for Germany: You’re allowed to lie to law enforcement.

In Germany we have a law enforcement level below the police called “Ordnungsamt” (I’m not going to try to translate that). They are in charge of these minor misdemeanors (like parking wrong, littering, speeding, etc.) It’s entirely possible that their patrols randomly check dog owners, but personally I’ve never heard of that.

Thanks for catching that. I’m sure there must be a fish-specific term that’s eluding me.

I know of them in Germany. But the duckduckgo image search reveals that they exist in many places.

Reasons for a license to fish (from a German perspective and with common sense):

• You want people who fish to know when they can and cannot fish due to the fish’s [Edit: re pro]creation periods.
• You want people to know which kinds of fish they should and should not catch, in general.
• You want people to know how big a certain kind of fish needs to be before it can be extracted.
• You want a general overview of the number of people fishing in a general area to monitor overfishing.

License to have a dog:

• Costs a certain amount of money each month. This funds public cleaning of dog poop and free dog poop bags.

License for a GMRS radio:

• To prevent too many people from crowding in the same channel.
• To be able to identify assholes who jam a channel with their broadcasts.

License for biking:

• To know the rules of the road

Waiting to weed out the weaklings
Waiting to smash in their windows and kick in their doors

Waiting for the final solution to strengthen the strain
Waiting to follow the worms

Waiting to turn on the showers and fire the ovens
Waiting for the queers and the coons and the reds and the Jews
Waiting to follow the worms

What you deserve for not voting democrat.

I guess the Palestinians should’ve voted democrat, too.

What a high it was when I did titration in high school and managed to get so close that the liquid appeared colorless unless you held a white sheet of paper next to it.

It was tinted, but just barely.

Rick and Morty, season 4, episode 7, “Promortyus”

You’re absolutely right. In my mind “feature parity” got garbled into “backwards compatibility”.

Email to all:

“Due to budget constraints, resources will shift from $oldThingy to $newThingy. As a result, $oldThingy’s availability can no longer be maintained at the previous level.”

Then randomly kill oldThingy for more and more hours each day.

    
location /old_api {
  redirect /new_api
}

  

(can’t be bothered to check the syntax).

“The other 98% of the codebase.”

Nitpick: There are elevators which are fine to use in case of fire. They have protections against serving as a chimney and somehow ensure that the passengers have air to breathe.

I’ve never seen one, though.

To each their own. I, for one, don’t like my lasagna alive and kicking.

Meanwhile I’m squashing spiders that are already dead, just to be sure.
