Put it in VR and it reminds me of the Community episode:

“Jesus wept!”

My grandparents had one too. I never once saw them sharpen anything, but it moved around the front yard every once in a while, so they must have been keeping it out for something.

Any mod recommendations for a 5 year old? He’s got a laptop with Debian on it and I’d like to set him up with MineTest, but I’m not sure he can handle the full MineClonia experience.

I have not. Is it worth watching?

I am personally familiar with that kind of pirate and I definitely appreciate what they do.

Maybe I should cross-post to AskHistory? I’m not looking for anything specific, really more hoping to learn some things while giving Lemmy users a chance to dump info they find interesting.

I will watch all of these. Thanks!

How much evidence do we have for this? I want to believe it since it’s my favorite fact so far, which means I should be extra cautious before believing it.

I loved the show, but never would have guessed it was based on reality. Great facts!

I looked around the house but couldn’t find it. You sure it’s not in your backpack OP?

Mine weren’t either. Unbearably miserable for everyone until they got divorced, then it was just regular miserable. Would not recommend.

I used to write extensively with C++, but it has been a long time since speed mattered that much to one of my applications. I still marvel at the cache-level optimizations some people come up with, but I’m in the same mindset as you now.

My workload split of Data Movement vs Data Transformation is like 95:5 these days, which means almost all the optimizations I do are changing batch/cache/page/filter settings. I can do that in any language with http bindings, so I choose those that are faster to write.

Universe is my favorite, with SG1 close behind. I feel like Universe tried too hard to be Battlestar Galactica at first and the network wasn’t impressed when it didn’t hit it off like BSG. I would have loved another season.

We need a Thanks I Hate It (TIHI) community on Lemmy. I don’t like this news you have posted, but I do appreciate that you posted it.

Very interesting. It would certainly make doom scrolling harder. Email always feels more personal, like each message was sent specifically to me for a reason. As opposed to feeds, which feels like looking at cars as they drive by.

I think this system pushes against those boundaries. This sort of concrete brainstorming at the edges is such a crucial part of software evolution, so thank you.

I have the exact same issue. I thought buying directly from the manufacturer’s site would fix it, but I still get Amazon boxes from some of them. I don’t buy from them again, but it still sucks. I have ended up buying even less, and I wasn’t buying much before.

I try to buy things used, but sometimes that’s just not possible. If it has to be new I try different sites until I find one that doesn’t go through them. You can even call customer service for some smaller sites and find out ahead of time.

I don’t agree with the “don’t bother” hopelessness in this thread. Trying to do the least bad thing is still worthwhile, even if you can’t do something perfectly ethical. I’m proud of you for doing your best.

My cheap old 3D printer requires constant fiddling before and after every print, yet still fails probably half the time. I avoid printing things sometimes just because I don’t want to deal with it.

I would still agree with you 100%. I hate my HP printer so much.

Contraction. Conjunctions are “and”, “but”, etc.

I’m considering switching too. When my instance updated to .19 or whatever Jerboa would crash if I tried to log in. It sorted itself out after a few days, but it was still a bummer that I couldn’t upvote or save anything for three days.

It also randomly crashes on some posts. I’ve never been able to see a pattern because I am just instantly back at my phone’s home screen. Once every two or three days there is a post that throws it off.

It also doesn’t seem to handle network issues well. If my Internet goes out or my wifi is acting up my screen gets flooded with json errors.

Nothing major, but enough to make me interested in alternatives.

My wife ordered JustEgg (a mung bean egg alternative) because she’s allergic to eggs and they substituted a carton of eggs. Fortunately I was able to eat them.

I refuse to buy anything from Amazon, and I will even pay extra to get it directly from the manufacturer’s site. So it’s really disheartening when I end up getting an Amazon package in the mail anyway. I think a lot of places save on space and headcount by using Amazon for fulfillment.

I even have the same issue with eBay. Some sellers are just drop-shippers for Amazon.
