New options for shortening names

Oh you can say it alright, it means black. It's quite a common word too, and it's given rise not only to toponyms and family names, but even designated origin products and some cultural references.

Like the Black forest (Schwarzwalder), Black forest ham and blackface (Gesichtsschwärzung).

ADHD screenshots

Years of stored memes, cat videos, quotes, protips and occasional smart things are finally paying off with rexxit crashing and burning.

If we do this a bunch of times, my karma across all these platforms will make me rich beyond belief.

Shit man, 60? Kudos to you and being part of the fledditors.

I remember thinking, as a kid, "being 13 sounds like such a cool age". In a blink of an eye I was 13 and it felt meh, but 30 is cool, you are wise, independent, have a few grey hairs.

Blink again, I'm 35, and it isn't that cool. I'll be thinking of you, anonymous rexxiter, and this protest, when I'll be 60, as I close my eyes and blink again.

There's 3000 cars on fire in the North Sea

Water stops fire because it spills over the burning mess and starves it of oxygen.

A burning lithium cell releases both oxidizer and fuel, which, because of the temperature, can now burn more of the lithium cell and release more oxidizer and fuel.

Which essentially burns down to LiPos can burn underwater and water won't quench them.

Also, blasting a ship with water means that it will, eventually, sink. Spilling its own heavy fuel, and all the cargo onboard into the sea.

It's using a different API than the OAUThed one, since everyone was logged out when the API shut down.

Not as much as an api as an xml dump.

Kind of dumb to let that available (since the claimed problem was massive scraping for AI datasets) while blocking posting and upvotes.

It will likely be shutdown too.
