I’d imagine one could make plenty of art from that many metres of blue plastic cord. No idea how to find a suitable artist, but someone sure would have artistic use for your waste!

What can you do with this feature? Maybe there’s something like that but with some other name?

It’s also more possible founding an alternative comm if one is too crazy. And the idiot fanatics seem to concentrate on select few intances that you can just block :)

This is something a good moderator will handle :)

I would have needed to create a user account for Reddit in order to start using it. And there was never a need to.

Then there was an online community on Fecesbook that wanted to migrate to somewhere, and they chose the Forumverse. So, I joined a Lemmy instance. Then it turned out that there’s this thing called PieFed that I like a little bit more yet, so now I’m on PieFed and no longer use Lemmy.

I have heard Reddit can be a reasonably good alternative to PieFed/Lemmy/Mbin, but I figure this suits my needs better, so there’s no need to try any alternatives.

So… I kind of switched by only ever reading Reddit as unregistered and it being too impractical.

Snowing isn’t possible without clouds, and clouds warm up in the same way a blanket does. It might be something like -20°C on a clear day, which is uncomfortable indeed, but a snowy day seldom gets colder than -10°C, might be more like -7°C or so. Not all that bad, really :)

I hate the electric toilet flush handles used in Tesla, but I must admit it did feel impressive when I encountered it the first time. I was hitchhiking and was allowed in a car. The door handle was kind of visible but… not really a handle?!

So, I kind of put my hand near it in confusion and “bzzrt”, it came out of the door, allowing me to open the door. It was a cool experience.
Still not one I’d be ready to risk my life for, though.

This photo was apparently made in 2017.

Israel was already committing a genocide back then, but its magnitude was far lower than in the past few years.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Đorđe_Martinović_incident tells: “The collapse of this taboo in the coverage of the Martinović case heralded the growth of nationalism that was to lead to the country’s collapse in 1991.”

Sorry, got a bit too creative with that one.

Part of the idea was to say that billionaires and trillionaires are extremely good in using their money in extraordinarily inefficient ways. Trickle-down, or whatever they call it…

Well, one could argue that it’s lunch that includes travel as a part of it :)

But good, let’s say that the lunch must be prepared of zero-gravity grown ingredients only, cooked using atmospheric friction, and delivered by parachute right at the table. 100 million might not be enough for this lunch, though.

Spending 100 million on lunch is absolutely possible. What would it cost to organize a lunch on low Earth orbit? And do that so that you are back on Earth as soon as possible, for important employee span business duties.

The word “celebtate” fits the comment surprisingly well!

EDIT: The celebtation is over. Now were back to merely celebrating. Ah well, guess that’ll do.

In the video you can see that this didn’t happen in reality.

They can put anyone in the “detention centers” if they have suspicion that the person is illegally in the country.
Of course the person can show passport or other sort of ID, but the SA goons can just decide they never saw it. Then that person is an unidentified alien in a “detention center” and will stay there until they disappear.

Hm, I should have actually quoted just the sentence “I respect and appreciate Lend-Lease, I can’t tell if it saved the war” because that’s what I was actually referring to. Sorry :)

Because it is very clear that it did save the war. Having lived in Germany, Finland, the Russia, and Ukraine, I hear a lot of that “~Soviet Union~the Russia did it practically all by itself”, which is extremely contrafactual. And hurts the Russia, as they don’t understand what their “možem povtorit’” actually holds to it…

But, it does seem that you and me very largely agree about things, so all in all things are just fine, no worries :)

I respect and appreciate Lend-Lease, I can’t tell if it saved the war, but it certainly saved hundreds of thousands if not millions of lives by providing much-needed humanitary assistance in hunger-struck WW2 USSR.

Almost all of the trucks used by the Soviet Military were US-made trucks delivered through that lend-lease program. I would guess that the ability to bring fuel and ammo to the front did help the Soviet Army quite some bit!

It is of course possible they could have won bringing the ammo to the front with horses instead of trucks, but honestly – I doubt they would have made it.

And obviously you respect especially Belarus and Ukraine, because it was them that did the heavy lifting in that, as you already somewhat mentioned, right?
