Yes, it is.

This is the same guy who is in an interracial marriage and voted to illegalize interracial marriage. He literally can't be trusted with anything.

It does have to be a full moon to be effective. Can't half-ass it.

Doesn't matter, had sex, still counts

This is almost certainly the correct answer. If it's a photoelectric-type detector it'll be set off by any interruption of the beam. This can be smoke, steam/vapor, dust, etc.

You can replace them with ionization type smoke alarms (or "dual type" alarms) and this will make it less sensitive to non-smoke interference.

Firefox + uBlock Origin served me about 4 hours of video last night without an ad in sight.

They very well might just bill your next of kin about it. Or it will be taken out of estate value first.

If you're broke, die, and have no immediate family? You get out scot free.

This is my new favorite account on Lemmy.

Also fuck you Dagoth, I heard you talking shit. The wall gnomes tell me your boys haven't touched grass in so long that their faces rotted off. Maybe if you got rid of that yee-yee ass golden mask you might get some goddesses on your dick. N'waaaaaah

They will then counter this with "Well if they just shut up and minded their own business instead of telling everybody all about how much cock they suck, it wouldn't matter", completely missing the point that these folks have been minding their own business for centuries and regularly getting murdered for it, and also completely missing the extremely obvious parallels to Jim Crow and the civil rights movement (or maybe not, maybe that's why they hate it so much). It is their opinion that they shouldn't have to know you're gay, and that you should have to live in fear of revealing that fact for your entire lifetime. And that's just the crowd that doesn't believe that homosexuality is a direct affront to God and should be stamped out as a moral imperative.

I've had this conversation before a few times, it always comes back around to the same points. Conservatives become extremely unconformable with the knowledge that The Gays(R) exist and typically wield misunderstood Bible quotation in defense of that. Those who don't, will resort to the argument that they shouldn't have to have it "thrust into their faces", as though the knowledge that gay folks exist is some great personal burden to them. They will happily tell people to "mind their own business" and "keep it to yourself" so long as their lungs have air with which to speak, but when told themselves to mind their own damn business, suddenly this is unacceptable.

Similar to the other poster you're replying to, I am also American, and my statement will be colored by that experience. Fair warning.

I don't think you're a bad person. And that's quite a statement, because there are a great many American conservatives that I can say with no reservations are objectively bad people. I think you teeter on the edge with the "traditional family" thing, because that's extremely often a dog whistle for people that want to exterminate LGBT and trans folks, but at least based on your statements here it doesn't seem like you're in that camp.

I think you want to look elsewhere for your community, because conservatism as a movement, as a whole cares very little about what you care about (minding one's own business, ensuring basic human rights regardless of ethnicity or other factors, personal reward for personal achievement) and cares very much about things you don't seem to be on board with (repressive religious law, disenfranchisement or even outright kidnapping and murder of LGBT, racism, defrauding voters and government offices in order to line ones own pockets, ensuring deaths of vulnerable mothers via slashing legality of birth control or abortion methods) - just to name a few.

Conservatism, as a whole, is primarily rooted around having an in-group that can be pandered to and having an out-group that can be blamed. They are largely uninterested in proper governance and entirely uninterested in human rights. Every move that is made, is made in service of consolidating power at the cost of human life. In the words of respected political scientist Francis Wilhoit, "Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect." This pattern can be observed over hundreds or thousands of years of human history.

If you want to find yourself on the right side of history the time is now. Leave the conservative circles behind and find one that actually espouses the ideas you care about. I doubt you'd find common ground in the sort of American Liberal circles that I find myself at home in, but there are options. There are as many political ideologies as there are people. But the more you attach yourself to one, the more they will in turn rub off on you.

Right, and the first Starlink launch was in 2019. So, at absolute maximum, these satellites have a total lifespan of 4 years, if the ones coming down now are the very first ones ever launched into orbit.

That's, if you'll excuse my language, fucking abysmal. This is what's supposed to bring reliable internet access to the distant corners of the globe? A constellation of million dollar satellites that crumble into dust on re-entry every four years? Maintaining this, and God forbid scaling it up to actually serve a majority of the world population, would be a stupendous and recurring waste of money, materials, and labor. Elon has a stable full of actual rocket scientists over at SpaceX, fucking use them. Max lifespan of four years for a "permanent" satellite constellation is actually laughable. The ISS has been in stable orbit since 1998. DIRECTV had better satellite longevity than Starlink.

By all means, design them to deorbit so that when humanity cooks itself off the face of the planet next century we aren't left with 300,000 starlink satellites trashing up our cosmic lawn for eternity. But maybe design them to deorbit later. At this rate we'll be turning a percent of the world's GDP into literal smoke each year as a fifth of the Starlink constellation rains down over the plains of Africa.

In more ways than one. There is credible evidence that your gut bacteria play a non-trivial role in your personality, and especially on what food you want to eat on a given day. You like food that your gut biome likes.

Fair point. That works for Europe because I think greed is less of an all-consuming force over across the pond, maybe. We've managed to make it something of a way of life here in the States.

Hopefully I'm wrong, and there is a way out of this hellhole that doesn't involve mass unemployment. But given our past record with most things, I'm not holding my breath.

In that case if we remove tipping, the prices of everything on the menu goes up 40% (because you know damn well the business owner isn't going to give up that sweet sweet cut of profit) and the poor folks can get nothing and like it.

Please note that I am NOT in support of the tipping culture system. Only pointing out the inevitable backlash of removing it without proper support in place. Prices of all food will increase everywhere to make up the difference and we either reach a point of equilibrium where the price goes back down because nobody can afford a pizza anymore, with the associated lowering of quality to make up for the price lowering; or else a few hundred thousand folks are suddenly out of jobs.

If we just remove the ability to tip and follow it up by telling the business owners "fuck you, figure it out", they will 'figure it out' by firing a bunch of folks and raising base prices. This might even be healthy for the industry, but I doubt it. It'll just end with most folks never going out to eat again.

a plurality

Yeah, about ten guys who were bought and sold by Russia and a couple thousand other folks that fell for their con. By no means a majority and also by no means a reasonable stance.

Stopping a Onewheel while fully in control of the balance of controls is easy enough, sure.

Having a Onewheel stop for you in any regard other than by the control of the rider is a guaranteed ticket to eating asphalt. Doesn't matter how slow you do it. People already fall off and eat shit on these things frequently when they're functioning properly, because the whole thing is operated by balance.

The wheel is instructed to move forward by the rider leaning forward. So you're tilted in at about a 60-70 degree angle from the ground moving at high speed. To stop, you lean backward, and the slowing of the wheel is counteracted by your shift in balance which drastically alters your center of gravity as the board goes from pushing the rider to being pushed by the rider, as your angle shifts around to 110 degrees fully behind the board. Assuming rightward motion to illustrate the example, you go from standing being pointed like this [ / ] to being pointed like this [ ].

If the board slows speed without your consent you're going to fall off it. Guaranteed. It's a fact of physics. It could speed up without much issue because the balance of - well, balance, doesn't shift by much. But slowing it down shifts the balance across the vertical axis. Unless you also shift your body across this vertical axis, you're going to eat street.

Please stop, and just take the explanation from folks who have ridden these. I completely understand your point that if something is wrong with the device the smart thing is to prevent itself from being used. That makes sense. But you've now quadrupled down on this idea that will get people hurt. Just let it go.

That said though I'll also take my own advice, because it's not like designers at Onewheel are reading this thread looking for solutions. Nobody is in danger of thinking this plan is a good idea. So our discussion here doesn't really have a point anyway.

Sure, provided the food is available and doesn't cost too many calories to obtain. The real problem lies in the fact that most fat animals get hunted by other, faster, hungrier carnivores. Sure you can get fat in nature but it's a hell of a feat to stay fat (and alive) in nature.

App name is very likely referenced inside every class file. Changing the name triggers a change for every file in the project. Depending on the version control software it may consider that grounds to re-download the entire file on update.

The actual change may have only consisted of 180mb of changes but it affects 34.1GB of files.

How is the game becoming f2p equivalent to it being taken away from you?

Oh, it's not. The game being removed from my library is equivalent to it being taken away from me.

I had no idea, lmao. Do you mean Somari? That's all I can find when searching for it, seems like these days someone has hacked the original Somari rom into a pretty solid recreation of Sonic The Hedgehog. But the original is, by all accounts, extremely bootleg.

Thats actually pretty cool, not gonna lie. Having an earlier introduction to bootleg gaming and rom hacks might have pushed my life path in a very different direction.
