Honestly, the most surprising thing is that they managed 6 successful dives to titanic before it failed.

I was 11, and handled the 'samples' at a BNFL booth (at an airshow) where a geiger counter was set up, it wasn't til the demonstration guy returned and demonstrated to someone else how the coin-sized samples set off the counter that I realised it wasn't a 'self service' type demonstration. The samples were labelled with their atomic symbol, and the most reactive samples were labelled as uranium (about 20mm diameter) and plutonium (about 5mm diameter). At the time I told myself they were likely fake, since leaving a plutonium sample lying around wouldn't be very likely.

I've not died of radiation poisoning or cancer yet, but it's only been 41 years.

Russian stooge stooges for Russia. What a thrilling development.

As coffins go, it's pretty.

Also a loudspeaker pops up from the centre of the bonnet and starts screaming 'pedophile!' at every driver who doesn't respect elon's authoritay

Every android phone I've had had a one-press 'Emergency' underneath the 0 on the lock screen, is it not the same for others? (although I'd argue that is too easy to hit)

There's also $HOME/.local/share for 'static data files' as part of XDG.

They don't really care about the effect on pirates, it's all about being able to sell the illusion of stopping piracy to suit wearing idiots.

Hey now, badgers are lovely creatures

That IS what happened, in april.

What happened this month is that the API users (aka 3rd party authors) expressed their dismay at trying to work with reddit's announced changes or getting any movement out of reddit that would allow them to continue.

The tags that boing boing has assigned that story, rofl.

Don't put off deleting your past comments too long, without the API you can only delete the 1000 most recent comments.

That said, when I tried to use Redact yesterday it was obvious reddit has some shenanigans going on - it would drop authenticated status on the first attempt to delete a message via the API.

So it's perhaps already too late.

My ipad only has 50MB of free ram after the OS loads as it is, I'm not updating ios any further - and I'd probably be just about willing to pay to downgrade back to ipados 12 to make it usable again

It doesn't appear to

The 'warning panel' can be printed on the menu above the alcoholic drinks section. Most people won't look at it, but that's true of tobacco labelling too.

This makes lemmy more usable than kbin for me

We could always just throw the cage into the water off the coast of nova scotia, i hear it's a hot destination for billionaires this time of year.

Tomato flavoured milk sounds delicious.

If by 'someone's ass' you mean 'the ninth circuit court of appeals' ass' then perhaps, as it was the basic principle of the Roommates.com case finding. It's perhaps unfortunate that the ninth circuit covers California juristiction, or reddit could just ignore it.

Ark?
