It’s not. That one has been bouncing around the intertubes for a while. Since 2018, according to Tineye.

“Remember, when you are dead, you do not know you are dead. It is only painful for others. The same applies when you are stupid.”

Wow. That’s dumb.

If nothing else, for the reason already discussed, that sometimes things like VAT are pronounced as a word and sometimes as initials. If you just write it like everyone else in the world who doesn’t write for the Guardian, then it’s just up to the reader whether it’s used as an acronym or an initialism. Nobody at NASA writes “Nasa” and NATO doesn’t use “Nato” (and “pin number” is redundant).

It’s like when the New Yorker uses diacriticals on words with repeated vowels like “coöperate.” Never once has anyone read that and thought “boy, that sure makes that word easier to read.” It just makes you think they’re being pretentious for attention.

Because reconstructing the trolley requires an infinite number of workers and I heard they were having trouble with their hotel arrangements.

Same for me but with TOTK. I spent hours upon hours doing everything else in the game, but the final boss fight seemed deliberately too hard, and I just really have no interest in forcing myself to beat it. I won’t get any more satisfaction out of the game just by seeing the final cutscene. Probably helps that I didn’t find the story particularly interesting and just played for the gameplay and atmosphere.

TSA only cares about liquids, you can bring all the non-liquid food on you want.

True, BUT, I’ve seen them tell a guy that a salami was a liquid and confiscate it.

It’s actually the other way around. There are only 11 two-party consent states. All the rest, plus DC are single-party consent, but usually the single consenting party has to be one of the participants of the conversation.

Reminded me of this really old Rhys Darby bit.

You’re absolutely right!

✅ Here’s why it matters:

Don’t forget when they were a roofing company, too.

Oh, don’t worry. He can just buy them from himself using taxpayer money via subsidies from his other company like he did last year. If you’re an American taxpayer, you’ve already bought one.

The shadows look fine to me. There’s a floor lamp visible at the right edge. The curtains are close to, and higher than that floor lamp, so the shadow goes up the wall and away from the lamp. The bookcase is further away and close to the same height as the lamp, so the softer shadow goes up only slightly. The “bottles” on top are close to the wall and therefore cast a soft shadow to the back wall from whatever unseen light source is lighting the subject from the front.

Totally agree about the identity of the objects on the shelves and the existence/placement of the mirror, though. It probably is AI, but I’m actually more impressed by the consistency of the shadows.

Whoops! That’s the Lemmy logo and therefore an ad for Lemmy. I can’t believe you’d abandon your strict no ads stance like that. Get that advertising bullshit off my screen.

Don’t believe it’s an ad for Lemmy? Go post that on Reddit and see what happens.

The mod’s last comment from a month ago is discussing an automod bot. It’s possible that they’re completely AWOL and the deleted comments you’re seeing are from the bot. Being the sole mod of a community and abandoning it to a bot instead of looking for new human mods is still shit list worthy, though.

The seams are ripped and decaying and there’s moss or lichen growing on it. I wouldn’t doubt for a moment that that ball has been in the woods for 15 or 20 years. It’s not just going to flatten like a balloon when it’s not at full pressure anymore.

There’s also the deal where a significant amount of the world’s nitrogen fertilizer passes through the Strait of Hormuz, so even if corn ethanol is cheaper now, it may not be for long.

There’s a lot of bitter sentiment toward Talarico among Black voters in Texas who don’t think their interests can be represented by anyone but Crockett. Lots of “he hasn’t done anything to deserve my vote” kind of talk, if that sounds familiar.

The primary result shows that he is hitting the mark with everyone from progressives to religious moderates, but he’s got an uphill battle with Black voters and he’ll probably be spending a lot of time on messages like the one in the article for the rest of the year. I would hope that Crockett gets on board with endorsements and campaigning for him, but I think you may be right that she didn’t have that in her.

It wasn’t Rick Astley’s head on Vanna White’s body that gave it away?
