Californian. No.

It wouldn’t solve any problems that can’t be solved by other means, and it would create new problems that we haven’t had to worry about before. It’d be a net loss for everyone involved.

UI elements that expand and cover up other UI elements when you mouse over them.

“Flat” color schemes where you can’t even tell where one UI element ends and the other begins.

Infinite scroll instead of pagination.

He’ll have to show us his Earth certificate, though.

Some species of ants invade neighboring colonies and carry away larva to work as slaves.

Brownie, you’re doing a heckuva job

That’s not how you petition the Supreme Court.

Yet another Republican “patriot” who flunked civics 101.

If a motorcycle has to be ear-splittingly loud for “safety”, then it’s too dangerous to be road legal.

I am tired of lies.

Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can say “Ni” at will to old ladies.

Are you trying to make me look stupid in front of the other guests?!

You don’t need any help from me, sir.

That’s right! …

Mike Duncan’s Revolutions podcast (especially series 3 covering the French Revolution) and his The History of Rome series.

White noise. I bought a white noise machine years ago when I lived near a large emergency room that had ambulances going by all day every day. It really helped with the sirens, and when I moved away I kept using the machine. My brain now interprets the white noise as profound silence, and I sleep so deeply that I don’t know how I ever got by without it.

TestDisk and PhotoRec. TestDisk can recover broken drive partitions, PhotoRec can recover deleted files even if the partition table is borked.

I just use Everything desktop search and let the files fall where they may.

Just lemmy in a browser for me. Never used facebag or twatter or others besides reddit.

I want Roland Emmerich to make a movie out of the short story A Pail of Air.

tl;dr/spoiler: ~20 years ago, a black hole passed through the solar system and captured the Earth, dragging it inexorably away from the Sun. This causes great earthquakes, tsunami, and other immediate civilization-ending catastrophes, but the real disaster comes when the atmosphere freezes and falls like snow to the ground. The original story follows a young boy born after the cataclysm whose chores include collecting buckets of frozen air.

The government only knows that they voted, not how they voted.

I yearn for the simpler days when the worst thing a Republican president might do is tamper with Medicare.

My intent was to point out how ridiculous the “103% increase” line is, not to suggest the comparison was valid in the first place.

In other words, it jumped from about 0.5% to 1.5%.
