  • I got curious and fell down a rabbit hole. My research reveals that the biggest hairs with a waxy hair sack are actually on porcupines, as porcupine quills are technically hairs, and they secrete a waxy protective substance.

    Biggest "normal" hairs are found on warthogs.

  • Top shelf:

    • Whisky glasses
    • 2x Islay whisky (Fuck you, bourbon!)
    • A wolf head bottle holder
    • A red toy cup with guitar picks, USB drives, logitech dongles, and misc other things my GF finds that I'velost or misplaced
    • Tiny easter decoration chicken

    Bottom shelf:

    • Muumi candle
    • D20 gargantuan black dragon guarding a VGI-HDMI adapter I need close to the TV.
    • A large cup of some sort. I don't know why it's there or what it is. It has a plastic spoon inside.
  • pbrush.exe, the ancestor of mspaint. Because I loved the simplicity of it, and that I got pretty good at it.

    Sure, I used mspaint too a lot later, but never to the same extent. I just liked the interface of paintbrush a lot more. And as I mostly used to for sketches and wiring diagrams, the limited color depth didn't really matter.

  • I generally recommend linux mint for beginners, mostly because it's pretty great at working out of the box, and it pretty general purpose.

    Also, it's reasonably user friendly and easy to use.

  • Well, I am doing pretty well for myself in a combination of IT, geophysics, and offshore/ship stuff.... but when things aren't going my way at work I still conclude that it's t8me to get the necessary licenses to finally become a crane driver.

    I've driven a lot of cranes (ships cranes, mostly), but I'm talking about those huge tower cranes - chilling alone at the top, and once in a while someone calls you on the radio, needing something lifted from A to B. Seems chill as fuck, and no searoll to worry about either.

  • Imagine if the richest person in the country dies, and it's time to figure out the inheritance for the spouses, and it turns out the entire country is in effect married in a loooong chain.

  • Communities are similar to subreddits, with the main difference that there are many servers (instances) instead of just over main website. I find it helpful to think of it as IRC servers on the larger networks: your user is associated with one instance, but you can access users and Communities associated with different ones more or less seamlessly.

  • Yup, pretty much. I'll lazypaste the response an instance admin made after I asked a similar question recently:

    Probably the community follower bot which several instances subscribe to. It's a way of automating new communities discovery. There are about 40 of them.

  • Shout out to the librarians in Gulfport, MS. They were really helpful and friendly when some haggard dork with a weird foreign accent showed up out of the blue in desperate need for a printer to deal with some DHS forms.

  • Agreed. I am in the process of creating a lemmy instance (mostly for testing), with the core tenets being free speech and freedom of information. I just need to find a way of rewording it so that people don't think it means endorsement of assholery.

    I think invite-only and "Don't make me ban you!" as the only rule could work.

  • Ksp2 was severely botched by Take2.. but if you're into the genre you might want to check out Juno.

    In addition you might want to keep an eye out for KSA which is currently in early stages of development. As there's no official website yet, I try to keep on top of any dev updates and nuggets of information so I can update the lemmy community.
