In the same vein, freediving is easy to learn up to a certain point and safe as long as you don't hyperventilate and stay away from caves. Most people can learn to dive to 10-15m and look around a bit before they have to resurface. That's far from breaking any records, but enough to have fun and see some cool stuff that you can't see from the surface.
Plus, you don't need any special gear, besides snorkel, mask and fins.
Fuck Philips. Pozidriv is so much better.
Yes, fully agree. They make absolutely no sense at all.
Considering that predicting the next word from context is the one thing LLMs are really good at, I just don't understand how none of these developments have found their way into predictive keyboards.
I've actually switched to ThumbKey and while I don't think I'm faster with it (yet), it's at least so much less frustrating and that's worth a lot to me.
People don't dislike neoliberalism, they dislike the effects it has on society. But they fail to connect the dots.
I think one of the main problems is that there's no "home" for people leaning left. The SPD has long dropped the "S" from it's name, it's just another conservative party representing those who are already well-off, without any ideas or plans to improve life for those who are exploited in our current system. Die Linke is completely detached from reality and too busy with fighting between themselves to address the giant issues that they should have the answers for. Greens are a climate/environment party first and they're too elitist to pick up any of the angry people who (rightfully) feel like they've been cheated by the system.
So when you have a well organized, populist party on the far-right that provides (wrong) answers for those people, it's no wonder they flock to them. Of course, you'll always have those who are actual fascists and will always vote for a fascist party, but a strong left could easily draw a lot of the other voters away from the AfD.
That's what I use and it's the best weather app I've seen so far. The coolest thing is, when you're choosing weather providers, it will show you the current forecast for each one, so you can compare them better.
And it has so many widgets that are easy to configure.
I'm also a bit heavy and I know the struggle. I use a lot of energy just do prevent popping back up like a cork. I've considered using a little bit of lead, but what I like about freediving is not having a bunch of belts and vests and other gear on me. So I'm currently also trying to lose weight.
Same here, I have one idea for a simple 2D game that I would like to make just so it exists. I even got myself Unity (before they stopped being cool) and tried to do some tutorials, but I just don't have what it takes.
The town I live in burned down almost completely in 1787, so most historic buildings in the city were built after that. The city wall is probably the oldest structure, but it's unknown when it was originally built. The oldest building with a known year of construction is most likely the church that was built in 1246.
Because if the electricity produced on these vessels was ten times the normal price, it would still be peanuts in the grand scheme of things.
Not necessarily. If you have a lot of experience or a different perspective and you seem trustworthy to me, you don't need to have a good argument. On the other hand, if someone else comes along with a good argument why your opinion is wrong, I will start doubting you.
For example, if you've been growing potatoes for 30 years, you don't have to explain the biochemistry of potatoes for me to respect your advice. And if you're a black person telling me that our town is terribly racist, I will believe you without needing a list of every single racist incident that happened to you.
They're awesome! Being 100% clean instead of 75-90% makes a world of difference. Plus, you can keep browsing Lemmy or even brush your teeth while the toilet cleans your butt.
You still have to use toilet paper to pat yourself dry, but much less than before and you can buy the cheapest and scratchiest half-ply garbage, it doesn't matter. There are also models with a built in blow dryer, but it takes ages, so I never use mine.
Only downside is that I dread leaving home for more than a few days now. Using toilet paper feels so stupid and ineffective now.
I think both torx and pozidriv have their place. Torx for any screw that needs a lot of torque, is in a hard to reach place or for really small screws.
When I have lot of screws in a simple application, like driving them directly into wood, I prefer pozidriv though. Due to the conical profile, the bit just automatically slides in correctly. Also, torx just has way too many different sizes.
I agree, Scholz is an idiot but Merz fucking terrifies me. Every time I see him on TV, it sends shivers down my spine. I don't get how other people don't feel the same way, it's like Lord Voldemort sitting in a talkshow and everyone just going along with it...
I didn't fully quit reddit, but I'm going to Lemmy first and foremost and rarely go back to reddit for very specific communities. My reddit usage dropped by 90+% probably, but I'm not completely gone.
I'm sure the same is true for many other users as well, so simply counting the number of (active) users then and now won't get even close to the actual loss in traffic and participation.
