Fixed-width Serif is the only way to go when doing any sort of coding.

However, Comic Sans is a surprisingly decent alternative if you want to use a Sans Serif typeface. The letters are easily distinguishable.

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.

The Cockneys, or alternatively the Fr*nch

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.

Do viruses control our Congress critters like the brain worms do?

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).

It all makes sense (r*ddit)

It would have been good if they put in the Amendments, because you know, it's the Constitution as Amended.

Gotta bump up that subscriber count somehow. Remember to like the video and SMASH that subscribe button!

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.

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.

Gork ,

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.

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.

I wonder what caused the alphabet to essentially get mirror flipped from archaic Latin to Roman.

They gonna cook some meth while they're at it?

No thanks, I'll stick with my unpatched IE 6 instead.

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.

Gork ,

I don't have a particular Lemmy link, but here's a general overview from knowyourmeme.

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.

Baby Formula! Now with 12% less Lead than the leading brand!

Gork ,

Hmm that's a tough trade-off. More developmental disabilities, but is the Value™ really there to justify the decreased cost?

Gork ,

Uh yeah this emperor was a creep.

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.

Just do it the SimCity way. Rezone it to residential so the building can be torn down for free, then rezone as high-density commercial. Easy.

The masculine energy of a rather hung dick called "old glory" that cannot be taken except by the most masculine of men who are out in the streets.

Gay butt stuff, obvs.

Florida deputies who fatally shot US airman burst into wrong apartment, attorney says ( apnews.com )

Deputies responding to a disturbance call at a Florida apartment complex burst into the wrong unit and fatally shot a Black U.S. Air Force airman who was home alone when they saw he was armed with a gun, an attorney for the man’s family said Wednesday....

This sounds like a very Florida Man activity.

'Your Name' Movie Producer Confesses To Have Paid Over 20 Underage Girls For Sexual Favors - Animehunch ( animehunch.com )

The Wakayama Prefectural Police revealed on May 8, 2024 that Your Name. movie producer Koichiro Itou has been referred to prosecutors for additional violation of Child Prostitution & Pornography law in Japan, after it came to light that he had paid an underage girl for sexual intercourse....

The comment section in that article is cancerous. Lots of defending pedophilia in there. Ugh I feel dirty after reading through it.

Gork ,

Still a lot more than the preferred amount, which is zero.

Gork ,

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.

Oh good the Tryptophobia kitty has come to visit us

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.
