They say that you can’t get a proper seal with a beard, but I’ve managed to do it before. I wouldn’t be shocked if it did. And if it didn’t a slight leak is may still preferable to complete exposure.

FireTower, (edited ) to asklemmy in What is with all the ex parte scenes in Law & Order?
@FireTower@lemmy.world avatar

They probably didn’t hire any lawyers for their writing team. This is pretty common in legal movies and shows. They aren’t making movies for lawyers who know about ex parte hearings. They’re making movies for the average Joe who can be convinced someone was found guilty in a civil case.

FireTower, to vexillology in What are your thoughts on complexity in flag designs?
@FireTower@lemmy.world avatar

Like with engineering, the fewer components the better. Of course each flag still needs to effectively relay it’s message.

I think Canada has a great example flag. It’s only used two colors, stripes, and one unique shape.

Also something to factor in is how unique is your flag. The Ivory Coast will forever be mistaken for Ireland. Both are simple but added detail could have avoided this.

Cardinals are definitely a good bird even in their native range. They should have used a house wren or something.

@FireTower@lemmy.world avatar

Both should be welcome. Especially with the current state of Lemmy (low user base), over moderation can be a real thing.

More narrowly tailored communities have narrower appeal and Q&A communities function off of their number of users.

This is one reason why on Reddit r/AskReddit (44M) has more users than r/AskMen (5.8M). And why r/AskMen has more users than r/AskMenOverThirty (458K).

@FireTower@lemmy.world avatar

Looks like it’s got some heft to it. That’ll definitely do the job. 8/10

FireTower, to asklemmy in What aspects are important for non-centralized communities?
@FireTower@lemmy.world avatar

One aspect I think Lemmy lacks is the ability for some contained discussion. To much leads to feed back loops but not enough discourages niche communities.

This is something Reddit’s scale does well. Reddit communities will have most of their posts never make it to the 5th page of All. There will still be break out posts but most likely the only people reading your post are those in your community.

With the current size of most niche lemmy communities you are posting to thise in your community as much as you’re posting to who ever is viewing All by new.

Even better it’s the real Margot Robbie, the Android community moderator.

At least bluejay are blue. They’ve got that going for them. Look at this thing it looks so generic.https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/2bcad674-27d0-4571-9178-cb026c04dde8.jpeg

Not mine but saw a reddit post about them a while ago and saved this pic on my phone.

FireTower, to asklemmy in What kind of wearable device do you want? Assuming it will work and feel like you imagine it would
@FireTower@lemmy.world avatar

They make phone forearm mounts for runners.

FireTower, to asklemmy in Am i the a**hole for telling my coworkers no?
@FireTower@lemmy.world avatar

If you are the asshole here it’d be because of how you relayed that.

I love that spinosaurus is such a contentious topic in paleontology.
