Where I live, the places that do blood donations, also do plasma donations. The process is longer, but is otherwise a similar experience. And since plasma is extracted from blood, it is not entirely wrong to argue that people can get paid for blood donations in the US. It is not accurate, but I would argue the statement is probably based on a truth.
Daring today, aren't we?
When they defederated from lemmy.world, the stated reason was the open registration policy. Their registration process is handled manually. I suspect that they operate a much tighter ship when it comes to moderation. This has it perks and problems.
So if Gabe suceeds, we get a gaming ecosystem with different hardware sellers, all using a platform that other software sellers are not blocked from using (Linux)? And the only reason Valve wins, is because they invested into providing the best possible distribution platform on Linux?
This does not make them evil by any standard I know. It just sounds like a solid long term business plan.
I wonder if /r/onlyfans will swap their content also.
Flash traders.
They abuse the technologies used by the stockmarket to buy and sell within milliseconds, so they can make a profit. They add absolutely nothing of value to the system, yet leech both money and talented employees from the market.
Since they will not use Github for Pull Requests, bug tracking, or any other bonus feature on top of git, I have to disagree. It would be super easy to change the host of their git repo.
There are now Cinema Sins Sins videos, which sometimes make more sense than the actual Cinema Sins video they are commenting on.
Huh? But the equipment that was developed by those trillions of dollars proved to be super effective. The HIMARS missiles can even handle jamming by a much less funded army.
You are spot on on point 1 though.
Https is explicitly designed against man-in-the-middle attacks. Modern browsers make a bigggg fuss if a man-in-the-middle is attempting some shit. Those attacks do not work.
And if you do manage to make it work, it sure wouldn't be easier than pointing a gun at someone and telling them to pay up for their internet connection.
That does not work without forcing the users to also use the proxy. Any website that uses https instead of http does not leak passwords, unless the device/browser of the user is compromised.
It sounds like a mechanism to make the town dependend on the cartel for internet, and then demand extortion prices for the internet.
The same holds for radar. A radar literally shines a light that anyone looking for it can see. Pinpointing a radar is trivial. Mobile radars can't stay and detect from a location for very long, without risking an artillery strike. Fast setup and teardown times are crucial, along with a strategy where multiple mobile radars cover for each other, so detection is never offline for long.
There is a subtle, but important, difference between letting people know your product exists or improved, and brainwashing people into buying your product.
Is a grocery saleman at the local saturday market allowed to shout about the sale he is doing on strawberries? Because that is also marketing.
I fully agree that the average advertisement you see on youtube is pure cancer. But what about an advertisement for an emergency fund for a disaster?
What about a sponsored video of a game?
Where do you draw the line?
Instead of awkwardly failing to turn it down, use it. If you are interested in a second date: say that you will allow them to pay, if you can pay next time 😉
Tolerance is a social contract, not an ideal. If someone refuses to adhere to the contract, then they are not entitled to the benefits of it either. Hence, there is no paradox. When we say "be tolerant to all" what we mean is "please adhere to the social contract, and assume everyone else does so, until proven otherwise".
I already saw this happening on Reddit. The largest subreddit were filled with generic posts. They got a lot of content, not necessarily good content. But there were plenty of small or medium sized subreddits that had much better content. The Fediverse feels like it is missing the big subreddits. It also feels too small to have the small niche subreddits. What is here in terms of content feels more like a few medium sized subreddits.
The cheap moving boxes I have, can carry at least 25 kilogram. That is about 75 cans of 330ml cans of soda. How is that not structural?
I think it also boosts morale. People will be very reluctant to support the war, if they see that most of their efforts, money, or lives are wasted on corruption.
I have decided to assume that OP is already married to said old friend, and has two kids with said old friend. His marriage to this old friend just feels right.
Google is not a mobile phone network provider. SMS routing is not really their cup of tea. It is an industry with lots of established players, lota of local issues, and little to gain for Google. If it where up to Google, everyone would be using their app instead of SMS.
I hate this in C++ when it does this with parameters of an overidden function. I don't need that specific parameter, but if I omit the variable name, I reduce readability.
Europa Universalis IV and Stellaris. For exactly the same reasons.
I spend way too much time in those games. Hundreds of hours each. But the end game is just too much of a slog. You already won, so there is no challenge; the framerate tanks into unplayable territory; and the micromanagement to manage the late game wars and economy becomes insane.
But starting with a different empire, and doing early/mid game again is awsome!
I love this show for the fact that at one point, this guys water is actually used as a solution for some random problem. None of the nonsense is left as just nonsense, it is all part of the world.
You are asking them for their fish. This request seems to be an attempt to teach your politicians how to fish.
I'd much rather see them use it to lobby in favour of taxes on the wealthy, than seeing a handful of them give part of their money away.
Starcraft 2 is almost 14 years old.

And that is why you don't read lemmy while driving!
New users will look at lemmy.world before they create an account. They will choose to join after seeing threads posts and comments on the front page. The default settings will keep them looking at threads untill they figure out they can block it. But when they do, they realise that 90% of all posts and comments came from threads, and they just disabled most of the content.
I would be ok with an opt-in mechanism, where the default settings and the anonymous settings disable threads content, but you can unblock them.
I think people only complained about the owlbear because everything else was so damn authentic. The lore, the feeling of a DnD session, the classes, etc. And to top that of: It was just a good movie. Even for a non DnD player it is worth watching as a comedy/action movie.
The staleness of the war feel very much like WW1. WW1 was not won at the frontlines. It was won by the industry and the logistics networks. Ukraine needs a way to harm the Russian industry and logistics, while getting more support of the western economies.
Not everyone has the advantage of a protruding belly to lather that soap on, you know.
Fun fact: these natural phenomenon meddle quite a bit with the measured direction of the reflection. Fortunately only with the elevation part. But if you know you are looking at a ship, it is quite safe to assume an elevation that puts the ship at sea level.
But the same can happen with aircraft. There the problem can be more troublesome if not accounted for.
Good point. But if I read the article correctly, the UK navy has no issue with these non Chinese nationals.
Not entirely. There still exists trade agreements, and diplomatic pushback.
Forcing companies to make products to a certain specification, would mean the EU is attempting to regulate other markets. Markets it has no direct governance over. While it may come from good intentions, it still invades the authonomy of the governments that should have governance over these markets.
Much better would be to work together with other countries, and help these countries implement similar rules, and enforce them together. Like, pretty much that the EU is doing for its members in the first place.
No. No good. Rednax count 14 violations of prompt. Rednax will improve story now:
Thelsim like sound of name of Thelsim, so Thelsim approves of question :) Thelsim is unique enough name, if not-Thelsim sees Thelsim somewhere else, there’s good chance Thelsim is Thelsim. Thelsim thought Thelsim up on spot and kind of identifies with Thelsim now. Thelsim’s vague and genderless enough to apply to anyone and can still be remembered as normal name. Thelsim's become online identity of Thelsim. Caveman enough for not-Thelsim? :)
So you are looking for empty gems, so you can fill them with the souls of your "friends", allowing you to call upon them anytime to play more boardgames.
A reasonable goal.
Maybe it is a rights issue. Preventing a prod build agent of sorts to access develop code.
That only works in the US. At my place they would aks if this new union is registered, so that they can help employees pay the union contributions tax-free.
I bet you made this comment just to receive more upvotes.
The worst thing is: you can't even put an int in a json file. Only doubles. For most people that is fine, since a double can function as a 32 bit int. But not when you are using 64 bit identifiers or timestamps.
