I'm also neither a mod nor member. I have never posted nor commented in c/vegan. I do not habitually downvote posts from c/vegan. I am banned from c/vegan, as of about a week ago.

If that isn't overreach, I dunno what is.

If they don't want non-members to be able to vote or comment on their stuff, that's fine, take the community private.

Cashier stations with chairs are VERY rare, yes. The general trope is that managers/owners think it makes workers appear lazy.

I think the big reasons for most people boil down to one or both of two things:

A) People having 0 trust in Google. I.E. people do not believe that paying for their services will exempt them from being exploited, so what's the point?

B) YouTube's treatment of its content creators. Which are what people actually come to YouTube for. Advertisers and copyright holders (and copyright trolls) get first-class treatment, while the majority of content creators get little to no support for anything.

Practice getting up in response to your alarm.

Seriously.

Once or twice a day, in the middle of the day, go lay down in bed, like you're going to sleep, and set your alarm for maybe 5-10 minutes. The moment it goes off, shut it off and stand up. Teach your body the habit of standing up, immediately, in response to the alarm. So long as you're getting enough sleep, you'll start doing it in the morning, on reflex.

“I used ‘Darth’ as my handle on the CB radio,” he told the New York Times magazine’s Dave Itzkoff in 2014. “The truck drivers would really freak out—for them, it was Darth Vader. I had to stop doing that.”

"I have altered the speed limit. Pray I do not alter it any further. Over."

My god, can you imagine just chatting on the radio and that voice suddenly coming out of your dashboard?

Let's assume the chicken has to reach a temperature of 205C (400F) for us to consider it cooked.

Remind me never to let this guy cook for me.

Yeah, they hotfixed that like 5 minutes after launch, and it took a little while for Steam to catch up for everyone.

FactoryGameSteam.exe is definitely correct, probably because they now maintain FactoryGameEpic.exe and maybe a couple others, for the console releases they"re working on. But they seem tobhave neglected to instruct Steam that the exe name had change, so Steam was still looking for FactoryGame.exe. Renaming the file was an effective workaround for the first hour or so.

I mean, yes, but this isn't just a little whoopsie.

It's not an Epic exclusive anymore, it's available on Steam. Also doesn't use exclusively Epic Online anymore.

What the actual fuck is this? A constitution neither defines nor repeals laws, it defines rights and powers, of the citizenry, and the government. Is there just more to the story that the article isn't covering?

 

Pencilvania.

 

So, I thought Hexbear defederated from us a little while back, and we, in turn, defederated from them. Why do I keep seeing occasional (new) Hexbear posts in the "All" feed, lately? Did the defederation get reversed? Is it somehow a bug?

 

The site name's a play on "The Onion" so it's gotta be satire, right? I couldn't find an about page to confirm.

 

After watching the first couple of episodes, my wife and I were considering having our 8-year-old watch it with us. Then I noticed the TV-MA rating.

Not looking for spoilers, but like, is the show gonna take a bit of a turn, eventually? There hasn't been anything CLOSE to TV-M-worth thus far, in my mind.

So the "fails to complete a cycle without erroring out" rate finally seems to have reached 100%, on the Samsung dishwasher that came with the house.

What do I need to know when picking a new one, and/or what models do y'all recommend?

I'll take recommendations about how to fix the current one too, I guess, but I already got advice from an appliance repair man, who basically said "it would need a new control board, I.E. ditch it." The error code it's giving is supposedly about insufficient water or water flow, but the water feed is completely fine, as far as I can tell.

 

I.E. the list of my own posts in my profile is always empty, by definition, unless I go manually change the setting before viewing it, and then change it back when I'm done.

Would this be a Jerboa issue, or a general Lemmy issue?

 

Felt like I had to share this after catching it on Twitch last week.

And no, this is not my YouTube channel.

My son asked me how to castle on chess.com the other day, and I found that I couldn't do it the way I normally do. Picking up the king and trying to move it to c1 just caused it to move to d1 instead, every time. I tried walking backwards and redoing a few different moves before this, and that all worked, but it just refused to let me castle by moving the king. Neither the king nor the rook had moved yet, and there was no potential or existing check involved, so what gives? Is there some other rule I'm just not aware of?

Sorry I didn't get a shot of the board as well, I thought I had but I can't find it on my phone now.

Edit: Missed the bishop. Option 2 it is, then.

 

I dunno if this is QUITE the content y'all are looking for, but if nothing else, I'm kinda astounded it worked.

Yes, she did eventually get there.
