Is that him?

A solar conjunction of mars happens every 26 month and takes about two weeks. That's the perfect time to install Windows updates and reboot the system. At least that feels as if it also takes two weeks.

Same vibe:

People who go on beach vacation for a week, what are you doing there? I can undress, have a swim, get sand into my crotch and a sunburn on my shoulder in less than an hour. WHAT ARE YOU DOING

It's the other way round: I don't know if it applies to this fella, but /we/ used ** // and __ long before applications knew what that's supposed to mean. We've been using it even on devices that are _physically_ incapable of producing formatted text, so it was the readers responsibility to parse and understand what it's supposed to mean. Back in those days we'd also type :'-( instead of 😢.

It actually annoys me that markdown got it all wrong, and thus applications using markdown do it all wrong as well:

*foo* should be bold, not italic
/foo/ should be italic, not just /slashes/
_foo_ should be underlined, but for lemmy that's just another way of saying italic, underlining seems to be outright impossible.

Why? :'-(

5000$ is a lot. In Germany you get only 250€

::: spoiler well, that's per month until they're 27 (as long as they're still in school/university)
plus free healthcare for mother and child
plus free daycare (depending on the state)
plus free schools and universities

I'd scold the sysadmin instead for not cofiguring critical systems in a secure way. Ulimit exists for a reason.

ACAB: All cup-sizes are beautiful

That's standard procedure here. It's called Tageszulassung (one day registration): Dealerships register new cars on their own name for one day, so they're able to sell them as "used". This allows them to sell the car with a higher discount than they're normally allowed to, according to their contract with the manufacturer.

For the customer it means they get a better price, but otoh they have to take the car as it is and can't choose which extras they want. For the dealership it means they can sell more cars, making them eligible for bulk discounts themselves. And the manufacturer is also somewhat ok with that because they sell more cars without being forced to lower the catalogue price.

I honestly don't understand how you Americans still seem to believe that anything in the Epstein files could possibly harm Trump. It was known before the 2016 election, that he was peeping in dressing rooms at Miss Teen contests. Before the 2016 election he bragged about sexually assalting women. Before the 2024 election he was convicted for sexual abuse.

And people did vote for him, not despite of that, but because of it. Because they are misogynistic assholes who adore and envy him for doing stuff like that.

Wy do yu insist so strongly on writing thre mor letters that do nothing to chang the pronunciaton of the word? Ar yu French?

always wash chicken, in a separate room

Oh dang, I'll have to move to a bigger house. My current home is lacking a chicken washing room.

People have survived millions of years without refrigerators. Most products don't get bad in a few hours just because they're kept at 8° instead of 6°. Granted, there's some stuff you want to be careful with, like raw poultry and minced meat, but neither the pasteurized milk nor the cured sausage will go bad in just a few hours, even at room temperature. Even if they would, you'd usually see, smell and taste it.

If it was as bad as you say, millions of pupils would die each summer from food poisoning because of the sandwich they carry unrefrigerated with them the whole morning until the lunch break. The temperature in an average teenagers backpack is much higher than that in a refrigerator that has been off for a few hours.

These are, in fact, called 'lust lanes'.

Lol whut? Espresso, Cappuccino and Latte macchiato are Italian,
Drip filter coffee was invented in Germany as well as decaf Cold brew is Duch/Japanese Boiled Coffee is from the Middle East/North Africa Irish Coffee is from Ireland, but similar drinks are known with different names and different spirits at leas in France and Germany. The French Press is from France, first patented by an Italian
Instant Coffee from New Zealand Frappé is from Greece Iced coffee is from Algeria

You Americans might have invented abominations like Starbucks, but that's not coffee culture worldwide. Noone I know drinks that stuff. There are somewhere around 100,000 and coffee bars in Italy alone, 31 of which are Starbucks built for American tourists. (Maybe it's 35 by now). There are 10 times more traditional Cafés in Berlin alone, than Starbucks in all of Germany.

Don't wanna argue with the premises here. But isn't Christianity also a bit stupid for praying towards the instrument that's been used to torture and kill their leader.

Just imagine you are Jesus and come into a modern church. You'd run away screaming with all those crosses triggering your PTSD. And that's before you've even heard of all the atrocities they're doing there in your name.

They're not totally wrong though. A huge share of the goods the Caribbean pirates "stole" didn't belong to their "victims" anyway. In fact, most of it had previously been stolen from the native Americans who had been conquered and killed or extorted from slaves on the plantations. Stealing from a robber isn't stealing imho.

Another, more modern example are the pirates of Somalia, who originally were fishermen. Only when foreign ships came into their waters to steal their fish and dispose toxic waste, they began to arm themselves to "steal" their own goods back.

Disney on the other hand...
