  • The breathalyzer tests the alcohol in the breath. An analyzer tests it...well I'll let you figure that out.

  • Do it

  • Wicked Game In My Ass

  • Yes. That's the very definition of a protection racket.

  • Did Germany make him persona non grata or something? Or is there a standing arrest on sight order for Nazis in general

  • I think I know where he got his name now

  • thanks

  • It's the people who love to talk about strict types that tend to be the problem

  • thanks

  • Whoosh

  • He won't, at least one person in his administration knows that's a fast track to civil war. We didn't love those leaders dearly, but we recognize that they did their duty more or less honorably and patriotically. They are much more useful to Trump as scapegoats than martyrs.

  • I have the right "space bar" on this board mapped to Right Shift, plus a lot of the characters usually accessed with shift, like the symbols above the numbers, are actually on different layers.

  • Do it! To tell the truth though I'm having trouble getting comfortable typing on it, still feels awkward to me. Had a thought that it would be cool to use as a super macro pad in addition to my main keeb, and I could hand-paint some keycaps for it.

  • Mechanical Keyboards @lemmy.ml

    First Solder, First Ortho. WDYT?

    I'm newly interested in mechanical keyboards, but have some experience with soldering and decided to build this budget(ish) kit on a whim

    • CannonKeys Ortho48 v2 board ($36)

    • JWK Mauve switches ($25)

    • NicePBT Bonkers keycaps ($60 on sale)

  • I may be wrong and lack any historical knowledge on the subject, but I think author is sarcastically self-identifying as a tankie?

  • Author is one step away from the realization that Capitalism is the culprit, and technology is just the vector.

  • The further you look in the sky, the further back in time you are looking as well -- there is no way to see what far way looks like "right now". This image shows the visible universe as it appears from our perspective in spacetime, which necessarily smears together the "where", "what", and "when" of it all, but also shows the evolution through time of some of the larger structures.

    The tendril things that converge into single celestial objects are clouds of gas condensing to form galaxies and clusters over billions of years.

  • I'm not familiar with this interface, but it looks to me like it is saying Google was doing the tracking. Could this be tracking attempts made from a web view opened while using Sync, and not the actual Sync app itself? I want so badly to believe they are more privacy conscious than that. Love the app, been using it since it first came out for Reddit. Solo dev IIRC.

  • There's a native restaurant near me that is kinda like the equivalent of Chipotle for American Indian cuisine, and it's fantastic. The owners are members of the Osage Nation and have had a few restaurants since the 90s. Really happy for them that they recently expanded to also have a food truck and catering business, as well as a little satellite location at a nearby ski mountain.

    I can't do much to help undo the genocide and cultural erasure, but I damn well take everybody I know to that restaurant.

  • Sorry but no? "Voters" means the same thing in both cases, that's how statistics works. You take a small subset of people and try to control for as much as possible to make it an accurate representation of the greater population. Nobody actually knows what Voters in the abstract think if they don't vote or answer polls

  • Yes. And the original poll estimated that 41% of voters under 30 approved of Mangione's actions. My point is statistics are more valuable and informative when you try your best to compare apples to apples.

  • Yes but a more direct comparison would be to voters under 30. Around 46% of 18-29 yr. olds supported Trump.

  • I am not in academia but did participate in published research both in college and in a job as a lab assistant afterward. I don't really think your analogy holds up. There is literally no cost to such a change; scientists just need to start READING and CITING papers from free, alternative journals for them to be legitimized. The profit incentives of the universities, private industry, and government that fund the majority of research are not affected by the choice of the medium of exchange of ideas. Only the journals' pockets.

    New homeowner, just sorta winging it...

    Having never owned a house or really had a yard of my own, I got pretty excited and decided to do some ad-hoc landscaping. Built some raised beds for vegetables, and just laying in some organic shaped in-ground beds for low water decorative plants. Gonna fill the rest in with gravel. Any pointers?

    Unhinged leaflet found on my car windshield

    I found this leaflet on my car windshield the other day in Highlands area. The author (possibly homeless) seems to have a paranoid delusion about a government conspiracy forcing his wife to divorce him and marry another man. Pretty clearly a person with untreated mental illness, and sad on its own.

    What's weird is that when I researched the name, I found posts on Reddit (won't link here) reporting similar leaflets appearing in DC, Iowa, Oklahoma, Utah, and elsewhere going back at least a year. Anyone else find a similar note? Is this a real person, or is it some troll printing copypasta?

    Full text:

    protesting against the law in the United States of America being paralyzed, defending the case, exchanging evidence, and then arranging to guide him to block the way to attack me, the government exchanged evidence and defended him, but the topic It's better to go to the game for him to block my way than to torture me, I'm usually sneaking over to my wife's house, but the government law
