Art floats. I see potential.

People tend to acquire wealth over time? There is a solid correlation between wealth and age, so this shouldn't be surprising in the least. And especially those who had time/energy to spare to attend festivals earlier are especially predisposed for acquiring now wealth down the line. Assuming that they return over the years, all of this is pretty much to be expected.

This is NCD, so the only appreciate conclusion to draw here is as follows: Crimea invasion imminent!

Looking at your quote they should be allowed passage since the US is not formally a combatant (i.e. belligerent) in the conflict in question.

I wouldn't talk about a meltdown of society here - this is a natural disaster, not the sacking of Rome. In due time help will arrive, people will bury the dead and rebuild. Though I agree it makes you appreciate how we take things for granted until one day they aren't.

I'm all for hybrid work models, but this reporting smells fishy: why don't they mention the contrasting scores for companies not enforcing return to office? If they were markedly different, wouldn't you want to underscore that? The author then going on a self-promotion spree for his hybrid work consultancy does not inspire confidence in the findings either ...

As much as I love hybrid work myself, this style of lazy and frankly biased reporting only serves to undermine confidence in actual success stories. Say no to lazy "journalism".

I think you refer to the often discussed "big cough" origin theory of the universe?

No one here is trying to write a treatise on how nations should interact. India is it's own story, don't muddle waters by slinging random and unrelated "but-what-abouts" into the discussion.

Samsung Note 10 and others have a barometric sensor, though I'm not aware of any app using them. Which might explain their removal, sadly.

I think a key benefit here is that the pre-registration allows for faster processing at the border itself, cutting down on queues at the airport. Singapore runs a system where after preregistration you can just walk through an automated (though somewhat finicky) scanner. No queues after arrival, I basically stepped off the international flight and went straight to the city with barely a wait.

Actually I like having a "smaller" space. Reddit was already way too big, with an anonymous giant blob of users. I wouldn't even have bothered writing an answer like I do now, since it would have been buried under 100s of other posts and comments within seconds. Sometimes smaller and slower are positive features, at least to me.

As a browser, I notice that Lemmy seems much more dynamic and engaging. It's small, weird and there appear to be all sorts of things going on in the corners which I didn't notice so much on reddit (they were probably there, but got overlooked die to sheer volume of content). I like the experience so far, reminds me of the early days of exploring the web.
