Whoa that's so cool to be able to capture it on a dashcam. I specifically bought a dashcam for my car so I could capture a meteorite on video after the 2013 Chelyabinsk meteor. No meteorite capture yet though.
The insurance benefit was just a plus compared to my real motivation lol.
I never found any of those hanging air fresheners to be even remotely effective. They might be good for about 5 minutes after you take it out of the package. Then it becomes waste like everything else.
I'm convinced that Count Dooku was a character quickly shoehorned in as a villain when the filmmakers got pushback from execs for having Jar Jar Binks as the actual Sith Lord (with Palpatine merely being the Apprentice).
Let's hope this isn't an Archduke Franz Ferdinand moment. Last thing we need is full blown escalation in an already fractured geopolitical situation that could lead to WWIII.
New here. Migrated from Reddit. Still trying to figure out Lemmy - what's everyone's experiences like coming from Reddit and does Lemmy serve as a good alternative? Pros and cons/differences?...
Lemmy is good but very, very small in comparison to Reddit.
For example, /r/mildyinteresting has 286k subscribers. Lemmy has around 51k active users across the entire platform and all of it's communities. And /r/mildyinteresting is a misspelling of the even more popular /r/mildlyinteresting (23.4 million subscribers).
Even some of the niche gaming communities are larger on Reddit (/r/Kenshi, 145k; /r/factorio, 370k).
However, the small community feel is much more pronounced here on the federated Lemmy servers. You'll see the same names pop up so everyone isn't a complete stranger. Third party app support is miles ahead of Reddit's crappy app. And if you don't like your instance for any reason you can hop to another one easily.
You'll see certain trends on trending communities here. There's a lot more posts on Linux, Star Trek, and Tech news that isn't as pronounced on Reddit unless you subscribe specifically to them. The meme community is top notch though and doesn't have the incel and misogyny issues that plague Reddit.
The thing I find most perplexing about those communities is that although they themselves support marginalized communities, they also defend highly authoritarian regimes (Russia, China) that actively persecute said groups. It's very strange to see that horseshoe wrap-around effect where at times they have the same things in common with the right wing but for entirely different reasons.
Next school year, my son will be left home after school for a few hours while my wife and I are at work. I'm looking for a way to detect when he's home and have the front door unlock (among other automation scripts that are in place)....
Just get an Apple Airtag and have him carry it around in his pocket (just make sure he doesn't leave in there it so it doesn't accidentally get washed). If you need to see if he's at home just check it's location with your phone. Place it on a keyring with a house key.
The number of examples I have seen of people being told to shut up about their lived experiences with sexual abuse in the past 24 hours on this platform is deeply disturbing....
I found the recent incel-ish responses on various Lemmy communities to the bear meme to be off-putting. Granted, it's much worse on Reddit but I would have expected better on this platform.
I would have hoped that before putting this implant in the guy's brain that they had a plan for what to do in this situation. Like coming up with a method to potentially reseat the retreated "threads" it without invasive surgery. Especially if this it's a recurring issue.
The emperor's pursuit of immortality included engaging in sexual relations with young girls, of which he and Tao Zhongwen collected 960 for this purpose.

For the curious, the phrase on there, "Победа всегда за нами!" (Pobeda vsegda za nami) means "Victory is always ours!". The literal translation is victory always for us, but that sounds weird in English.
Curious that they didn't use a Latin Z in place of the з that's in their normal alphabet.
They proclaim as they bomb the poor innocent coffee shop.
Shouldn't the other penny behind the front one be rotated a bit prior to punching so you can actually see the minted year without having to pull up the front penny?
It'll look a bit janky but at least it'll follow the intent of the post.
