Make the temporary ban on US Politics in AskLemmy into a permanent community rule.

Floors in the Middle Ages were dirt covered with straw for insulation and other reasons.

Threshold = thresh (straw) + hold (a piece of wood across the front doorway to stop the thresh from spilling out)

Being nice to people makes them happy to be around you.

When a wannabe dictator says you won't have to vote any more...

Sounds like another reason not to use Chrome.

I used to think so until I realised that air and water are both fluids, except air is thinner.

It's almost as if, hear me out here, the Norwegians are right....

It's almost as if stiffing his previous lawyers has made people wary. Strange.

I believe this is a thing in Quebec.

In Quebec, the Civil Code requires parents to assign their child only one surname (either a single or compound surname) derived from their respective surnames. Compound surnames may not have more than two parts, with or without hyphens. Thus, a couple named Joseph BOUCHARD-TREMBLAY and Marie DION-ROY could give their children the surnames:

• BOUCHARD
• TREMBLAY
• DION
• ROY
• BOUCHARD-TREMBLAY
• DION-ROY
• BOUCHARD-DION
• BOUCHARD-ROY, and so on.

In Quebec, the law provides that spouses retain their respective birth names when they are married.

Hi OP. I'm sorry that you were exposed to CP. Thankfully I didn't see it before it was purged, but I'm sure it was distressing, especially for someone who was a victim.

I feel that you post is important, but this is not really the appropriate community to raise it. Can you please re-post in [email protected]?

I've noticed a significant change in my Facebook feed recently. It's almost all content creator content now, which I'm taking as a sign that my network is no longer posting there.

Take people with low empathy and train them up in psychological manipulation and covert operations. Color me shocked that this happened.

The whining on facebook about how cyclists should be banned whenever something like this happens does my head in. If you can't stop your car within sight distance, you are driving too fast. Doesn't matter if it's a cyclist or a tree across the road. Slow down!

It's basically because they don't directly convert electricity into heat, they just pull it in from outside. It still takes energy to 'push the heat uphill' from a cold place to a hot place, but less than directly heating.

I gather that many larger ships often either have malfunctioning AIS or don't have it turned on.

AIS is a system that pings identity and location to other ships, and can set off alarms to warn of impending collisions at sea.

(…) cops have yet to ID a suspect.

Surely the could do it digitally?

In case it wasn’t obvious, ignore this suggestion.
