Annoyed_Crabby, in Are there r/WorldNews Israel bots or am I hallucinating

I checked r/worldnews a few days ago and the comment is absolutely flooded with pro-israel and mainly support the disproportionate respond. Any anti-israel comment will either downvoted to hell or removed. I thought astro-turfing, but then i guess you don’t really need to get paid to defend something unethical.

Or maybe they’re israeli, there’s a lot of israeli enjoying the slaughter and even called it “Pallywood”, the term coined by conspiracy theorist in early 2000, arguing the Palestinian has been faking their death.

intensely_human,

So we were all gonna have a good time and get drunk but now all the money’s gone into the VLTs so there’s no drinkin or gettin drunk or nothing is … how she goes, apparently

Empricorn,

Sometimes she goes, sometimes she doesn’t… Fuckin way she goes…

iusearchbtw, in So all that brutalist architecture, what if we just painted it? Not one colour, patterns to break it up.
@iusearchbtw@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

It’s been done quite a bit throughout Eastern Europe. Here are some examples from Poland:

Certainly a nicer colour scheme than dirty soul-crushing grey.

Lojcs,

Those don’t look brutalist to me. I feel like brutalism calls for more than just grey blocks of concrete.

HonoraryMancunian,

It has to look at least a little bit evil

CiderApplenTea,

Not sure if you’re making a clever joke, or if you don’t know that brutalism is defined by using steel and concrete in large blocks. Might be a mega “woosh” on my part though haha

Lojcs,

I wasn’t making a joke. It doesn’t feel right to call every unpainted concrete box brutalist.

AtmaJnana, in What are some good (and free) webcomics?

OGLAF

LaunchesKayaks,
@LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world avatar

Isn’t that one super NSFW?

Baahb,

Yes

RootBeerGuy,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Only 90% of it.

HobbitFoot,

It is line wearing a codpiece, but wrong.

iMastari,

www.oglaf.com/cumsprite/

NSFW

That is page one.

SatyrSack,

I have never understood how people find these funny.

FMT99,

There aren’t many… any webcomics that make me come back and read the archives from time to time. Oglaf is the exception.

Sithrak! An insane god for an unjust world!

AtmaJnana,

It reminds me of PLIF and SexyLosers. I may still have an archive of PLIF somewhere.

Every few years, I come back and binge re-read all of Oglaf to caught back up.

starman2112, (edited ) in What was the cringiest moment of your life?
@starman2112@sh.itjust.works avatar

By far and away calling my friend’s mom retarded when I was a stupid little kid. He was on speaker. If I could pinpoint the exact moment where my life started going off-track, it was then and there. But boy was I upset that his mom wouldn’t let him play guild wars.

I’m sure she’s forgotten it, and he probably has too, but the moment replays in my head at least once a month.

At least it was a learning experience. Now I never say anything about anyone that I’m not willing to say to their face.

DudeDudenson,

When I was around 10 I was invited to hang out to my uncle’s bosses bbq party along with my cousins and the guy’s children where talking about going karting and then the guy says “What would they think if we told them you were under 16 haha” and I just blurted out “they would probably think she’s a mutant”.

Idk man I was 10 she looked grown up to me but I’m sure I gave that girl identity issues

18 Years have gone by and I still have flashbacks to that moment

rattking, in Do you know of any obscure useful websites?
@rattking@lemmy.ml avatar

Sheldon Browns website is an encyclopedia of bicycle knowledge. Especially for older stuff. RIP. www.sheldonbrown.com

Centaur,

Wow, thanks a lot for the link! I got 30 year old Giant bike with Shimano Nexus 👍️

Deconceptualist, in Do you know of any obscure useful websites?

Taking a chemistry class? ptable.com is the best Periodic Table site by far, packed with info and ways to visualize the relationships between elements.

Interested in what class doesn’t teach you about the elements? Theodore Gray’s Wooden Periodic Table Table website has a ton of very high resolution shots of the best samples you’ll find, along with detailed backstory on where each one came from or how it was used.

PP_BOY_, (edited ) in What cheap tool/gadget do you use that greatly improves your daily life?
@PP_BOY_@lemmy.world avatar

Depends on your lifestyle ofc but a cheap 6’ tape measurer keychain has come in clutch more times than I can count. Within the past week I’ve used it to

measure the hatch of my car to see if a box could fit

compared a 14" pizza to a 17" to my friend group to figure what size pizza to buy

measured an entire house worth of soffit

The thing was like $5 and honestly gets more use out of anything in my EDC except maybe my earbuds and even then I barely touch them since graduating from uni

eighthourlunch,
@eighthourlunch@kbin.social avatar

Make sure you test it against one you're sure is accurate. My wife bought one that looks right at first blush, but it's off by at least 5%.

fruitSnackSupreme,

Roughly 0.5 inches would you say?

joystick,

That’s a funny cautionary tale.

epyon22,

I use the one on my leather man micra all the time. Also fans of Adam Savage know about his measuring device tattooed on his arm which is cool too.

PP_BOY_,
@PP_BOY_@lemmy.world avatar

Funny, I was just watching some lockdown-era Tested videos and was wondering what that tattoo was on Adam’s arm. Reminds me of my mechanic friends with a 10mm socket tattooed so that “they’ll never lose it”

guyrocket,
@guyrocket@kbin.social avatar

I keep several full size 30' tape measures in different places like my truck, kitchen junk drawer and (of course) toolboxes. You might find that more useful than a 6'. Cheap ones are fine, I think, as long as you don't drop them.

papalonian,

The appeal is to have it fit on your keychain/ in your pocket so that you’ve always got it rather than having to run back to the car or wherever one might be

Buddahriffic,

Thank you, now I know what tattoo to get if I pass by a walk in place. I’m always tempted but the things I want aren’t exactly walk in tattoos. Only question now is to go halfway up my forearm or to my elbow. Guess I could go all the way down my index finger, too, but I’m not sure how long a tattoo on the side of the finger would last, plus all the possible bends when including the hand could reduce measurement accuracy by quite a bit.

epyon22,
Sharpie,

Dude, you’ve gotta factor in way more than diameter if you’re trying to make wise pizza choices. They have calculators for that: https://www.omnicalculator.com/food/pizza-comparison

Nibodhika,

Your link is the other way around, you should put the text between [ ] and the link between ( ), i.e. text, the way you did it the text that appears is the url but when you click it it tries to go to literally the address url.

Turun,
Death_Equity,

Luftkin makes a high contrast 8’ the size of most 6’ and it is glorious. I have one as a daily driver for work, cold dead hands.

The rest of their tape measures in that same line are great.

son_named_bort, in What's the most unique role model you've heard that was a green flag?

Weird Al Yankovic. He’s been making comedic music for decades with no scandals or anything and he is a genuinely nice person.

Everythingispenguins,

And that there is the real scandal some guy calling himself “Weird” is really a nice normal guy.

spittingimage,
@spittingimage@lemmy.world avatar

A nice normal guy WHO PLAYS THE ACCORDION.

reddig33, in What's the issue with current browser engines?

Constantly moving targets don’t help. CSS, HTML, and JavaScript add new features way too quickly. Between supporting new shiny stuff and crusty old stuff there’s so much bloat to keep up with. It’s taking huge efforts to design and tune these rendering engines, so there are only a handful of efforts now backed by major players (Google, Apple, Microsoft, and Mozilla). Even Microsoft threw in the towel on their own engine and started using Google’s Chrome because it was cheaper and easier.

puppy,

Yep Microsoft giving up was a real shame. I was never a fan of IE or Edge but having more independent choices is always better for users.

cashews_best_nut,

Opera quitting Presto hurt me most. :(

9point6,

Opera is basically spyware now, such a shame

mundane, in Framework vs Macbook laptop?

8GB is not enough memory these days. But you can always add memory later.

betz24,

Not for the MacBook, it’s soldered in. So he will have to upgrade the whole thing. The M1 is one of the best laptops I’ve used (for work), but you have to choose the right specs at the beginning, otherwise you will be in a pickle.

mundane,

You are correct, I was thinking of the framework, but I didn’t mention that in my comment.

EffortlessEffluvium,

It’s more than soldered in—it’s in the actual processor. It’s why you can’t desolder the RAM and replace it, even if you were that talented. It’s the downside to SOC. I hope that the new RAM technology called CAMM works out and becomes popular enough to fix the SOC trend.

some_guy,

True on Framework (add more later), not on MacBook Air. But even though my main machine now has 64GB, I found my first-gen MacBook Air (2020) was great with 16GB. However, depends what you need to throw at it.

sharkfucker420, in What are some problems that countries outside the U.S. are dealing with?

The Democratic Republic of Congo is experiencing severe political violence involving large militant groups over natural resources and territory.
