Nah, if that’s the goal they’ll just use Neutrino Bombs (look them up, they’re crazy what they’re designed to do)

as recently as 2005

You do realize that’s almost 20 years ago. That’s like saying “well you realize in 1985…” Back in 2005.

(The 2000s have been a blur for me time wise too)

I often times wonder if an extraterrestrial threat would be a unifying factor or if people would still be selfish unless it affected them. The pandemic was the closest we’ve seen to a world level threat recently and it just increased selfishness IMO (at least in the US)

Thank you… I hate all the people who are “we’ll permanently destroy the earth and it’ll never recover!” crowd. Maybe for us it’ll be too inhospitable and we won’t survive, but nature is surprisingly resilient. From bacteria that can eat oil and plastic, to entire generations of flora and fauna living in irradiated landscapes, it will adapt and be here long after we’re gone.

I know too many devs to have my body require a firmware update.

Gives new meaning to “sliding in to your DMs”

10-15? That’s childs play. I honestly read probably an order of magnitude more than that.

Ironically Sync can block entire instances.

I may be looking at it wrong but there’s an odd flaw to me in the premise. I view “pay money to avoid being shocked” as something that is happening to you, out of your control. Pressing the button, regardless of the outcome, is something you are choosing to do and is most likely a result of curiosity and bordem.

I think a better approach would have been “if you push this button, the simulation is over and you loose”, and then see what people do.

If you think that’s bad, wait till you hear about the US… Only one small part that hits 150mph (240km/h) on a 50mi (80km) section. For a country that’s got more land area that Europe…

Temperature doesn’t necessarily equate with lumens. I prefer closer to 2700K (warm), as once you pass 3000-5000 it’s just a very harsh white, but a higher number of lumens (depending on space 1500+). Also you need to consider the way you want your light projected. A direct beam can be good for focused work but can cause some harsh shadows. Using up lights or wall washes can give you the reflected light that makes the room seem more lit without harsh shadows.

Edit: something else to consider is CRI (color reproduction index). Try to find 90+ bulbs as those will ensure the colors it lights up look true to their originals. Makes a big difference especially if you’re painting.

I did that as a kid in school passing notes!

I heard a teenager describing a 40 year old as “elderly”. Context matters.

Didn’t they already do that with the Emoji movie?

You can choose to filter by language in the Lemmy ui directly. I selected English and Unspecified and it eliminated all the German, dutch and Philippine subs.

Is there a specific requirement for ink as opposed to laser?

So theoretically as long as my gross was below the cutoff (currently $160K in 2023) would that keep a running tally of my gross earnings over the years or are there other things such as 401k that would reduce that amount?

I was wanting to calculate how much I grossed in my lifetime but of course don’t have a chunk of that data anymore.

Got news for you. 4 months is on the short side. Any place that processes credit card or other transactional data will most likely keep it around 13 months if not longer. And yes you guys can quote “well actually it’s not required”, no, no it’s not, but I’ve worked with enough companies to know they hoover and keep IP, user agent string ,etc for quite a while.

I’m curious what feels different to you? I came from Sync to Wefwef and it’s been a smooth transition for me. It reminds me of how the sync layout used to be which I never updated from when he switched versions so that may be it.
