What a weird rule, do you know why it exists ?

Accessibility. A blind person (or someone who just can't see that well, or who wants to read it at a different font and sizing level) has the opportunity to read this in text form with a screen reader or with adjusted view settings. But those don't work with images (screen readers may if the image has alt text).

Ease of search. If someone wanted to find this post down the line, they are not able to search the actual text of the post because it's an image.

Quality. In all honesty, what is gained by this post being an image instead of text? What is the visual element adding that couldn't be accomplished with italics and bolding?

What should i have done to post this information then ?

Copy it and treat it as a quote in your written post (same place you put your source). You can add formatting to it if you want to emphasize parts.

I figured it was pretty obviously the rider that's making the bike not fall over, not the bike itself.

If the bike's ability to remain upright while moving was a natural feature, then why would you ever need to learn how to ride bikes? You could just sit on it and go if that was the case.

Just installed it and woof, this is very good looking. I was waiting for K9 mail to get a few more updates before making it my daily driver, but this works really well already.

Also love an app with an FAQ that actually answers questions I'm thinking lol

Oh hey, fellow org user!

I'm in the same boat. I don't do calendaring that much, but agenda is what I use when I'm time blocking tasks.

My main complaint is that I can't get it to sync to my Google calendar. I have tried org-gcal but the gpg encryption never works for me so I just gave up. I would have liked it to have easier viewing on mobile, but that's minor enough that I don't care. Orgzly with notifications on lets me know when its time to do something anyway.

I live in Saskatchewan, which is as land locked as it gets in Canada. And for some reason, my city has a Red Lobster. I don't think I've heard anyone talk about going to it because who would expect a seafood restaurant all the way out here to be good? I have no clue how they're making enough money to operate.

(Also, nice pfp! 🐾 )

No, still on the restaurants side. Like yes, it was a mistake and they should have presented it earlier, but asking for a burger to be done medium isn't a common thing here in Canada. They might not have thought about the waiver until then.

Edit: my point here is that this article is presenting the waiver itself as some kind of wrongdoing or indictment about the restaurant's quality/safety. To me, this seems wrongheaded and the timing of the waiver being brought out seems more like "whoops we forgor" thing than a "desperately covering our ass" thing -- since again, medium burgers aren't really a thing here.

I'm not going to fault the hotel for trying their best to please customer requests and the customer being Pikachu shock faced when he's asked to not sue the restaurant for accommodating his McDeath Burger extra value meal.

Furry here and just want to say: isn't this entire discussion super disrespectful to the important job that animal control personnel actually do?

Like, animal control has an important role in protecting communities from animals and helping animals that are injured. They shouldn't have to be dragged into this stupid outrage farming.

Hey thanks for this! I used f droid for a while but was always meh on the UI and how clunky it is. I used this for a bit and I already like it waaaay more. Cheers!

For what it's worth, the reputation of the BrandonM comment on the Dropbox post is pretty overblown compared to what was actually written. The post highlighted some concerns that were legitimate in 2007. And the tone of the comments were supportive of dropbox -- the poster acknowledged the feedback and offered use cases that still would lean towards Dropbox, and BrandonM responded that they made sense and wished them luck.

That's not what a Karen is at all. A Karen reports someone for doing things that arent a crime and that's why they're unreasonable (often against people of color). Like when that woman called the cops on that dude leaving his own home.

Also parking on the pavement is dangerous and reduces accessibility for other people navigating that. So yes, report them.
