  • Overcast lets you import from RSS

  • I’m currently reading a book called The Wager and I’m learning a lot about ships. Apparently like even your average ship was basically rebuilt each year because they just fell apart constantly. So I guess like all ships are Ships of Theseus.

  • Samurai (侍、さむらい) were the hereditary military nobility and officer caste of medieval and early-modern Japan from the late 12th century until their abolition in the late 1870s during the Meiji era.

  • Yeah I’m far too boring to have dark secrets. But I feel like people in the public eye are probably more prone to them.

  • confirming. Definitely Marin from My Dress-Up Darling.

  • Christ!

    Scottish inventor Alexander Bain worked on chemical-mechanical fax-type devices and in 1846 was able to reproduce graphic signs in laboratory experiments. He received British patent 9745 on May 27, 1843, for his "Electric Printing Telegraph".

    In 1880, English inventor Shelford Bidwell constructed the scanning phototelegraph that was the first telefax machine to scan any two-dimensional original, not requiring manual plotting or drawing.

  • I assume OP is talking about bandages on fingers, and it’s much harder to get a good seal on your fingers even with these :(

  • I never had dancing in PE in any grade. Can’t decide if that sucks or not. Maybe I’d have better coordination now. We did get roller skating week though.

  • Yes, I agree that their spiels usually make opting out not seem like an option lol.

    But I do what to point out this:

    Even after you do so though it still doesn’t stop some recurring payments or charges so your account can still end in the negative and you typically get a charge for that if its in the negative enough (usually more than 5-10 dollars)

    If you have not agreed to overdraft protection, they legally cannot charge you a fee if you end up overdrafting from automatic payments or another tricky one is gas pumps where some only charge $1 to initiate the pumping then later hard post the full amount. Now, I’m am sure there are institutions that go against this law but I try to spread the word that Reg E doesn’t allow that practice.

  • Theres no reason a transaction shouldnt decline if there are insufficient funds.

    I’ll admit I’m ignorant to banking on a large scale, but the few banks I have used and worked for I’ve always had the option to just decline “overdraft protection” so indeed if I tried to make a $50 purchase and I had $45 in my account, it would just decline. Overdrafting has always been an optional service. Are there banks that force you to enable overdrafting?

    Edit: now whether the choice is properly conveyed to people is another matter of course, I imagine many banks make it seem like a “good” thing or the default option.

  • Oh I thought it was like a poem or something because of all the line breaks and ellipses. But it’s just a regular comment?

  • What about when it’s vertically oriented

  • No, Tumblr nests the original the furthest in. The opposite of places like Reddit/Lemmy, where they nest subsequent comments down. So the furthest to the right is the original comment, and each step out is a new response to the original.

  • There are some amazing creators on YouTube using these things. They’re so fun to watch.

    1. Gas station “supplements” are a surprisingly large market; apparently a source of erectile dysfunction pills and energy boosters for truckers
    2. It is not an opioid
    3. Opioid opioid opioid
  • I genuinely love the cacophony of cicadas and I live in the Midwest so I’m thrilled for this!

  • I still can’t for the life of me figure out where he’s injecting. Is it someones bum?

  • Build the house around it. Notice the tile does not carry under the boulder.

  • Yes my favorite ketchups only have the original sugars from the vegetables used. And usually have some richer spices and more prominent vinegar.

  • Do you know what the hell it was used for?? Did they like…pin old school Map Quest instructions to it?
