I don’t want to know much much time I have “wasted” in my life trying to do something faster and ultimately fucking it up lol

I like your style.

And here I was just taking my crembule torch and some pliers holding onto both ends then cleaning up the bulge of melted plastic with a razer blade lol

You method seems far “cleaner” but I’m lazy and I’ll probably just keep doing my jank method. Still cool tho.

I mean we have lots of words for varying degrees and styles of “nothing”.

A chasm is the empty space between two chunks of the earths crust.

A void is just an empty space well… Void of all things.

An interval is just the time between two events. Technically it’s nothing.

Still a good shower thought. There aren’t a ton of words dedicated to the same phenomenon, but we have a handful.

While we are talking about shit that Google pulls that drives us crazy can we talk about the pop-up asking me if I know about driving mode EVERY SINGLE TIME I LAUNCH MAPS FROM MY CAR.

I fuckin know about it Google. I have said yes every single goddamn time. Stop fuckin asking me.

Hey I’m new here. What do you mean by change instance? Like I see the different subs/communities or what y’all call em, but I’ve just been scrolling through the “everything” tab or whatever it’s called.

I followed some of my interests but generally I just sort by top in the past hour and scroll away.

In the famous words of Scott Pilgrim: “BREAD MAKES YOU FAT?!”

See that’s where you lose me. Restricting access may as well be the same thing as not allowing the copy to be stored in the first place.

I know all about projects like the British Library. It’s seriously impressive and definitely an important historical archive. It can be burned to the ground and they already don’t allow most people to check out a lot of specific things.

But again I must point out that should there be a war or a sudden shift in political ideology of the government they might decide to destroy or remove certain things they don’t like.

And back to the “restricted access” topic. Who decides what is restricted? Here in a America we are super weird about nudity and sexuality. Other places wouldn’t want their general population to know the recipe for napalm.

I fundamentally disagree with the premise someone else telling me what information I am allowed to see or not. Any version of state or government ran media storage will have those issues.

Who pays for the storage? Who pays for the servers? Who does upkeep? What about any media that state deems harmful or illegal?

Pirates have been doing a better job keeping media alive than any state of government ever will. Governments can be corrupted. Pirates are a decentralized collective.

Private collections will be how legacy media lives on. Not through some state sponsored bullshit.

Ah. I guess that makes sense. I only ever go on social media from my phone so I will only be viewing Lemmy through the lens of Sync I guess. Thanks for the info.

If that’s intentional that seems like a bad idea. Just gonna lead to confusion on the users end and more posts asking why things are “broken”.

Thank you for the info. Are there any other symbols or site quirks I should know about?

Rule 1 for Lemmy overall or that specific sub? Cause I don’t see any rules listed under the “about” tab. I didn’t break rule 1 as its written as far as I can tell. So that just feels like mod abuse because they didn’t like what I said or something.

I also didn’t get any sort of notification for this temporary ban. Is that intentional? It was simply giving me “network errors” whenever I tried to upvote something and the feedback for the user was very unclear.

I know I’m asking a lot of questions but can anyone see the ban logs for everything? I am obviously very new and still trying to figure out how this whole shindig works.

Edit: Thank you for the info. It was very thorough and you didn’t have to do all those links and everything. But it was very appreciated.

6 alarms each a minute apart. 5 from my phone and 1 from my Google home.

My mom used to have to dump ice water on me to get me outta bed for school.

Once I’m asleep I’m pretty sure you could throw me outta an airplane and I wouldn’t wake up.

Fan for air flow and noise (I’ve got tinnitus). Rub one out. Small glass of cold water. I’ll roll over and pass tf out in seconds.

Highly recommended, but not necessary: Take an edible ~ 2 hours before you wanna go to sleep so you’re in the middle of riding that high when it’s time to crash.

Just take a scoop out and bring it back. Should be easy right? Lol

When I was ~10 I was running around the house with a white bedsheet over my head. I was pretending to be a ghost while I chased my older brother around the house. Unfortunately I slipped backwards on the sheet and hit the back of my head on my mom’s solid oak coffee table. Immediately blood started soaking the sheet red and I obviously screamed out in pain. My mom came running into the living room to find me screaming and the sheet just turning more and more red.

At this time we lived about an hour away from the nearest hospital and my mom knew if she tried to take me in for stitches that I would probably bite the doctor or something (I have a pathological fear of needles). So she opted to shave my head and tape it shut. Then she instructed my brother to keep me awake for the next few hours (she was worried about a concussion) and she let me watch whatever movie or play whatever video game I wanted for the rest of the day.

It healed fine and now I have a small scar on the back of my head that is only visible if I shave my hair super short.

I have goodish news. We aren’t going to run out of helium any time soon.

Based on current rates of helium consumption the US alone has something like 250+ years of stored helium. We pumped a porous mountain full of all the helium we could back in the 60s and it’s been kept stable since.

We still have no alternative to helium in a few of its most important use cases, but there is price where the helium we haven’t bothered collecting will become cost effective to go get. Those untapped reserves are estimated 3-10 times what we have ever used.

I’m also fairly certain that we will have figured out a way to produce helium in the next hundred years. We know how it came to exist naturally it’s really just the matter of someone being crazy enough to try and replicate those underground conditions and spend the money on the project.

I have faith that helium is a solvable problem for the human race.

Dudes gonna have 1000fps in CS source lol

They already made AI assisted ear bugs that do “live” translation. Hearing aid have been a thing for years. If live subtitles are a thing I could see a very small group of people that would be willing to pay for that, but aside from the hearing impaired I still don’t see a good value proposition in “smart” glasses.
