Where, the U.S.? Seems like there's gotta be other times and places that were more woman- and queer-friendly, right?

Yeah, antibiotics is a big one. Plus, some of my skills might actually still be useful in the 40s.

But life did suck in a lot of places for a lot of people in the 40s. WW2, the devastation left behind by WW2, and horrible social attitudes. Good luck in 'the west' if you're not a straight white cis man.

You could probably memorise how to identify the right fungus and isolate penicillin, right?

I think it's just the two feelings, but in quick succession. Like an emotional dipthong. Or maybe even just simultaneously? Doesn't have to be a unified thing.

But I guess, 'tragicomic', or 'funny with pathos'.

Because it's an Australian knife, duh 🙃

Pretty decent, although the inclusion of the last paragraph without the following paragraphpointing out that this incident shows that's not true is a little misleading if you're not paying attention.

That is so much better 👍

ive just heard of an incident where students redirected their books codes to p**n. can i make sure that doesnt happen?

This is kind of confusing, or at least leaves a lot of detail out 😆 Did the domain lapse? Did their short-URL account get hacked? In any case, your QR code will just be encoding a URL. Ultimately, any URL can be redirected by someone out there; so it's just a matter of trusting that whoever has that access won't act maliciously, and that malicious actors can't gain access.

also, im using google to generate them, is there a foss alternative as im scared of tracking.

There absolutely are, just search and you should find plenty. Again, though, the QR code is just encoding a URL. Does Google use their own short-URL service for their generated QR codes? Just scan the QR code and look at the URL it encodes. If it's only the URL you want - not some Google short-URL that then redirects to the URL you entered - then there can't be any tracking done on it by Google.

lastly, can i make the qr code redirect to a specific page of a pdf

Covered by another commenter already, but for completeness: yes, you just add #page={n) at the end of the URL, e.g. https://dagrs.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/2020-01/sample.pdf#page=5

Yeah, #page={n) works, e.g. https://dagrs.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/2020-01/sample.pdf#page=5

FUCK TIPPING.

I was glad to see this bit at the end:

The number of payments with tips has remained stable throughout the last year with 0.52% of payments including a tip in August 2023, according to Lightspeed.

Still, we really do have to be vigilant in our efforts to prevent tipping being normalised. You can bet restaurant owners are going to be pushing it whenever they see an opportunity, so we need to be pushing back harder.

Ain't nothin' but a heartache

What the hell does 'Hard Rated' mean?

Title is missing a word or two. Should be 'Likelihood that average global temperature to will rise ...' or something.

ROCK 'N' STONE, BROTHER!

Yeah, it was bizarre. I went looking for news stories to see crowd estimates and photos, and I couldn't find any articles on them at all.

I already did a 'Test' in reply to your 'Test'.

EDIT: Oh, I see I was beaten to it and hadn't refreshed. In any case, I'm just replying to your post with my comment above, not doing the test.

Btw, you can edit the text of your post to say 'current bottom-level' (instead of 'top level') which is what you mean.

(figured I may as well, while I'm here, haha)
