Pray tell how any non-tree plant removes emissions unless you chuck it into a five-kilometers-deep mine.

Trees specifically only ‘remove emissions’ if you plant more of them than get rotten or burnt.

A bit odd, because the US is specifically the one country that definitely has an area code that’s mostly reserved from civilian usage, i.e. 555. Although not all numbers in it are reserved, afaiu they aren’t given to randos anyway, and the store’s spam system could be set up to never text or call these numbers.

I once looked up if there are numbers that I could safely use for testing purposes in my country, and we only have numbers from old popular songs, which curiously were also later referenced in tv shows. But it’s a toss-up as to whether they’re definitely unregistered in any particular area code. I’ll probably have to use ‘+1555…’ instead.

As a webdev, I’m proficient in coming up with names to test the limits of the interface. I would probably have to stick to ‘Konstantin Konstantinovich Konstantinopolsky’, since they are unlikely to accept the last name of ‘O’er-thirtythree-thirtythreefootfences-Istretchmyleg’.

The locations of the ‘troll factory’ offices in SPb, formerly owned by Evgeny Prigozhin, are well-known. Although this particular operation seems to have been shut down following Prigozhin’s shenanigans.

That’s not how any of that should normally work. And I doubt it that your colleagues have insight into Russian operations unless you’re either in the NSA or in the FSB.

I doubt the story of the bots disappearing, but Yandex a) has specifically given control to Russian government, by providing a super-share that doesn’t pay dividends but gives the deciding vote, to Sberbank (this kind of share shenanigans are possible under Netherlands’ law, where Yandex is incorporated for this very reason); and b) does provide cloud-hosting services the same way as Amazon does. Yandex is generally considered to basically be a government corporation by now, it’s one of like three candidates whenever the government decides to introduce some ‘sovereign’ service like Russian analogue of YouTube.

Arkady Volozh, the surviving cofounder of Yandex, has left Russia over disagreements about the war and the government’s control, taking for himself some side business that Yandex was doing abroad, either drones or self-driving cars or something like that. And relocated some 1000 Yandex employees that decided to leave with him.

I assume that includes the ones in which Piefed, Lemmy.world and Gizmodo are hosted?

I solve the problem of hearing various crap from supermarket speakers by using noise-isolating headphones, using self-checkout and leaving the store without having to listen to anyone at all.

I didn’t like onions in my childhood. I grew fond of them when approaching adulthood, particularly when I moved out and started properly cooking for myself and buying my own fast food. Now a sandwich without onion doesn’t taste right.

So I think it’s rather a matter of a particular configuration of tastebuds. Just like I grew out of liking overly sweet foods.

Yall have some wrong kind of onion. Where I am, raw onion is clean and crunchy like fresh cabbage. Do yall buy onion only after it has been lying around in warm air for a year?

What really has awful texture is boiled cabbage or onion.

The facts that I’m sweating quite a bit and that pores can be clogged, refute that statement.

Sure.

Alas, discussions of the topology of humans always miss the existence of pores.

True, however iirc the tools panel layout can be adjusted in standard GIMP — maybe not to the width of one icon, and by default the panel is also used for the tools options. Afaiu there was more sense in Photogimp when GIMP had floating windows, those really were dark times.

My main issue with GIMP is that I can never memorize the location of the buttons for less-frequently-used tools, and the icons are not too recognizable. But that can be fixed with an icon theme, and perhaps with reordering the buttons if that’s indeed possible.

which is false

“Trust me bro, it’s completely different.”

Actual apps: tools on the left, layers on the right, the pic in the middle. The important menus are in the same places. Apparently Photoshop users lack pattern recognition.

Pike said that her arms were burning during the failed execution and asked if it was supposed to feel that way.

That’s a sign of the injection going a wrong way, namely somewhere else than the vein where it probably was supposed to be. Idk if it happens with just any intravenous injections, but I got exactly that feeling when mine didn’t go into the vein.

People both here and on Reddit keep complaining about the ‘bad UI’ of GIMP compared to Photoshop. Which UI is laid out the same way as in Photoshop.

‘This is why women ask crazy questions’

Hence, ‘machine learning’.

What is a human really, but a long tube from the mouth to the ass.
