It's not the best comic, but I at least understood it once I learned it's about circumcision.

Replace 'major government contractor' with Elon Musk.

It is a shit headline though.

If everything is running on renewables, cool. Until then, there's still the opportunity cost.

I think the point is, it would be nice to know which books are being put back up (seems like a pretty basic thing if you're going to make a post like this) but OP made it about as hard as possible to see any but 1-2

My dad worked nights and Mom was a SAHM who also did some freelance stuff from home. They basically had a first come/first served system, and honestly didn't have many conflicts so the second car (usually the one they've had longer) was rarely used. That was perfect when I started driving in high school, because I could usually use that car (even if it was a few years older than I was)

My brother talked them into buying a used Mitsubishi Eclipse back when it was still kinda cool (an '03 model purchased in 2007?). Mom ended up really liking that car and it's not really practical for the handyman stuff my dad does in his retirement, so now they have assigned cars.

So? If your invention depends on illegal plagiarism to exist, maybe it shouldn't. It's not the law's fault that LLMs depend on other people's work to function, nor was that its specific target when it was written

Unfortunately, so many local burger joints have a "flagship" burger featuring a Sysco patty, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion for $17, sides extra.

I hadn't heard that story before. True or not, I'm glad it was there

Year and a half old. It may feel silly, but she's always been in the single-digit percentile, usually low-single-digits at that. She was born about 3 months premature, and after her weight gain stalling, they prescribed a medication with a side effect of increased appetite to give things a jump start. I think it's going to work 🙂

I love the "to be determined" if there is anything on board that can cause a health hazard (they did quarantine astronauts when they first came back from the moon)

I call my wife that occasionally, but only when I ask what the word is ("what's the word, little bird?")

When I'd search "(location) weather" on Google (e: in Chrome) and I'd get a really nice at a glance forecast right on top. Do the same thing in Firefox and I'd get a whole bunch of weather websites I could go to. The former obviously being a better, more direct experience. I found an extension that fools Google into thinking it's Chrome and all works fine with that.

I'm amazed if this doesn't violate some antitrust regulation

So many instructions to cut an onion are essentially

  1. Cut off the top
  2. Peel
  3. Cut in half
  4. Cut horizontally (in parallel to the cut you just made)
  5. Cut vertically into strips from just shy of the bottom to top, with the bottom holding things together
  6. Cut vertically perpendicular to your last cuts to get little squares

On something like a potato, I'd understand it. You'll be cutting a 3-dimensional object along all 3 axes to get cubes. But as Shrek taught me, onions have layers. Why make that first set of horizontal cuts when the onion's natural layers do the same thing already, albeit a little bit curved?

I was in rural India for a friend's wedding. They set up a giant tent pavilion to use as a dining hall, with fans hanging from the top. This was a ways away from the main house, but there were some power lines nearby so they just got power straight from the grid.

Also, day of the wedding, there was a large sound system for the musicians and priest. All the components were plugged into a power strip, which was powered by a couple loose wires stuffed into an outlet

Running on a Raspberry Pi 400

Lately my home has been dumb and unassisted at random times, and the HA app can't connect to my HA rpi server. Ditto when I go to homeassistant:8123 in a browser. I'm trying to see what's causing this, but the logs in app only show since last restart. Tried plugging my Pi into a monitor and getting something from the command line but not sure how to do the equivalent of a Linux tail or whatever. Searching was surprisingly unhelpful. Any advice?

Thanks much!

I get that some instances use the domain + TLD to make a word, like lemm.ee or to an extent, sh.itjust.works. But I've seen so many TLDs I had no idea existed, like .world, .zone, .social, and yes .works as well.

Is there any real reason for that? Trying to look cool or kinda underground-y? Cheaper and more varied domain options? Something actually kinda functional?

Interestingly, I started on vlemmy.net because I was a scared Reddit refugee and the .net TLD gave me comfort. Then it vanished a few days later without a trace. So here I am on lemmy.world
