Bigger ships should have bigger sickbays, though.

Not that you should be able yo tell from a single camera angle.

Civil lawsuits aren't pardonable anyway because pardons are for criminal offenses. You can't force him to be charged with a state level criminal offense.

Buying the TV and then not connecting it still rewards the bad behavior.

We have to boycott these fucks and lobby to get the behavior outlawed.

This is why, for years, I've been trying to point out that "if you don't like it, just don't buy it" isn't good enough. Boycotts aren't enough; we have to force the law to change to prohibit the abusive corporate behavior.

I used to recommend Sceptre, but even they appear to have stopped making dumb TVs now too.

That's a good point: it's not just that LLMs fail to give you an optimal password, it's that they're inherently designed to give you a pessimal one.

People can't seem to manage that these days even for darkness, and you expect them to do it for fog?!

(I blame DRLs. SO MANY people driving around with what appear to be headlights on, but no tail lights because they didn't actually turn the switch or something. SMH.)

I mean, I LOL'd at the "this data is internally valid in the sense that I am precisely average in all respects, in relation to all the other [zero] people I know of the same sex" part just because it's a clever way of saying it.

I just figured it was extra-desperate CPR and never saw a reason to question its legitimacy.

Never kill yourself for something that's somebody else's fault.

Yes we fucking can! We can absolutely blame shitty people for trying to do shitty things, and suing an archive for archiving is one of 'em!

[–] grue@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago

Good point; I stand corrected!

(Any other difference between Georgia and more reliably "blue states" still comes down to having a slightly lower urban/rural population ratio, not ideological differences between the urban people of different states or rural people of different states themselves, though.)

Cost? More than $3 million.

This is the emails between the YouTuber YGK3D and Anycubic, it seems like they won't send 3D printers to reviewers who mention their GPL3 license violations. > > tl;dr Anycubic uses open-source software for their firmware, but doesn't make it public as per license agreement, and they don't seem to be friendly to anyone who calls this out. > > More info: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxIMpZTkXqFo0H6pDwhZpdYqMYvLhPvWA5?lc=UgxA-4LYvwrnonXuXsZ4AaABAg >

More barriers to cycling means more cars which means more dead cyclists. Help us defeat this terrible anti-safety bill.

You wouldn't just out of the blue completely drop support for something existentially necessary for someone to live their life and get to their job day to day would you?

Wait, you would? What the fuck? Weren't you the one lecturing me about the ethics of downloading a car?!??

Before Fisker’s 2024 bankruptcy, just 419 Fisker Oceans made it into British driveways. One unfortunate buyer, a marketing manager from Southampton, experienced the worst of the brand’s teething troubles. After taking delivery, her Ocean was plagued by persistent software glitches. Following a call to Fisker, engineers were dispatched to collect the vehicle for repairs, but when the car was due to be collected, it refused to start. Mere days later, Fisker declared insolvency, leaving the Ocean stranded as a 5,500 lb (2,500 kg) driveway ornament for the next ten months with no solution in sight.

Free buses? Really? Of all the promises that Zohran Mamdani made during his New York City mayoral campaign, that one struck some skeptics as the most frivolous leftist fantasy. Unlike housing, groceries and child care, which weigh heavily on New Yorkers’ finances, a bus ride is just a few bucks. Is it really worth the huge effort to spare people that tiny outlay?

It is. Far beyond just saving riders money, free buses deliver a cascade of benefits, from easing traffic to promoting public safety. Just look at Boston; Chapel Hill, N.C.; Richmond, Va.; Kansas City, Mo.; and even New York itself, all of which have tried it to excellent effect. And it doesn’t have to be costly — in fact, it can come out just about even.

If free buses strike you as wasteful, you’re not alone. Plenty of the beneficiaries would be people who can afford to pay. Does it make sense to give them a freebie? Yes, if it improves the life of the city, just as free parks, libraries and public schools do. Don’t think of it as a giveaway to the undeserving. Think of it as a gift to all New Yorkers in every community. We deserve it.

The new projects, expected to be announced on Friday, will reverse decisions made by the Adams administration, and help the new mayor fulfill his vow to make buses fast and free in New York.
