Why is the show about gay space communism popular on the gay space communism network?

It's a case of common sense. Obviously an accident, obviously cooked. Throw it in the trash and move on with life. You crazy black and white maniacs that think every rule has to be applied 100% in every case with no possibility of anything ever happening that maybe doesn't make sense or isn't the intention of the people who wrote the rule are like 50% of what's wrong with society.

Correction: they still use AC motors, but those motors don't use line AC. It goes line AC > rectifier > DC > inverter board > variable frequency AC to run the compressor motor.

Most RV fridges just use DC motors, but there are some that use VFDs and AC motors.

Pixel hardware is some of the easiest to get/best/cost effective with an unlocked bootloader.

Acting like Apple didn't do the same thing with khtml to make WebKit.

I mean there's a lot of engineering, design, and art that goes into a car. And I feel it's kinda natural to admire a high performance machine. I'll admire a tractor or a train also.

I mean technically yes, the South could have negotiated a surrender any time they wanted.

Didn't they also slash how much they pay artists? What exactly is the point of Spotify?

On one hand yes, Jerry is a jerk who's always trying to get Tom in trouble. On the other hand Tom literally spends every episode trying to murder and eat him so maybe it's not entirely uncalled for.

I mean I agree with the sentiment in general but I don't really see how they're the bad guys here specifically.

It's a quirk in statistics that buying a lottery ticket doesn't really statistically improve your chances of winning over not buying a ticket.

But like also your odds of winning with a ticket are infinitely higher than without.

You can accomplish your goals while not being a dick about it.

Was this written by an AI?

You know tf2? The beloved multiplayer game with great lore that still got hundreds of thousands of players more than a decade after its release even though the devs mostly abandoned it and it got overrun by bots? No, the other one.

I was homeschooled and it was fine, I did great on standardized tests, had friends, am not a fundamentalist nutjob, etc... I'd like to say to these people please stay, I know it's hard for them but what they're doing is desperately needed. Lots of those people are decent people who live in an echo chamber of conservative insanity, they need patient loving people like you to show up and let them see there's more to life than their bubble.

I believe certain breeds of dogs and horses can keep up with us, but only because we bred them to.

I mean like 2/5 of BRICS is currently actively involved in genocide so maybe they should pause for a hot minute and look in the mirror.

Also I know the current South African government has nothing to do with the government 30 years ago, but something about ZA calling out an apartheid state just seems ironic.

If you want to start a competitor to Spotify or Google music, you will have to pay those fees making it almost impossible for you to compete.

The Bible even says if a family member ever doubts Jesus, you're to kill them immediately to prevent them from convincing others.

Which is a throw back to a schizophrenic guy named Abraham killing his family because they doubted the voices Abraham heard in his head.

I'm gonna request citations on these two.

I don't get it, like, I get why people support him, they live in a weird media bubble, but that same media bubble insists he's a fantastically successful businessman, why donate to a billionaire even if you do support his cause?

I'm white but grew up in Latin America. Nobody cares if I act Latino in Latin American contexts but if I do with a bunch of white people who don't know me it can be weird. Also there's the whole "racially self deprecating latino humor" area that I just kinda try to steer out of generally because nope...

My man you have misunderstood the question.

I actually like Edge more than Chrome.

I don't use either, die-hard Firefox user for decades but if I'm forced to pick one...

Language rules (in English at least) are descriptive not prescriptive. They try to explain why Americans are called Americans, not determine what they're called. They're called Americans, whether or not it's logical, or the ideal descriptor, or fits with other names, that's what they're called.

Also most English speaking countries don't have an "American" continent, they have North and South America as separate continents, so you would say someone is North or South American to refer to the continent, not just American. Similar to how some people consider Eurasia a single continent but very few people would identify as Eurasian.

Do none of the systems, GPS, glonass etc. use encryption or authentication of any form?

What features does Vivaldi have that don't exist in a FF extension?

And using a WebKit based browser is still better than using a chromium fork.

I have very mixed feelings about Bukele but nobody is leaving because of him. Salvadorian emigration has slowed greatly under him and many people are actually moving back.

This title is horribly ambiguous. I thought the pastor was charging money to let people shelter in the church. Instead he was being a good human and allowing people to shelter in the church for free and was charged by the city.

Treat the symptoms not the cause

Treat both. They usually give you a painkiller while setting your bones.

This is just a weird shaped cloverleaf. Nothing to see here move along.

I'm enjoying these brief moments of Lemmy before it becomes mainstream. Who knows maybe it never will which is kinda bad but also kinda good.

This is Lemmy, you will receive a lecture.

There is no ethical consumption in capitalism. The best you can do is try and make sure your primary contact points with the system are good but once you get more than a step or two into the food chain there will always be dirt.

Especially if you're going to the level of personal beliefs of executives. I guarantee you gave more money to a dozen people way worse than him before lunch today than he'll make in a year off your Kagi searches.

Yes I called the people who charged a grandma $2000 for accidentally bringing a sandwich that has zero chance of carrying avian influenza dicks. Why you're choosing to take that personally is beyond me.

With friends: awesome.
Alone: after 15 minutes maybe bored.

They played Woodstock with less than a sock.

I had a doctor basically remove everything from my nose that could be removed including a bunch of the turbinates. It's great I can actually breathe through it now.
