I must be still half asleep because I can’t make sense of that.The article says:
Position 1 - Geographic Region:
1-5: North America
6-7: Oceania
8-9: South America
A-H: Africa
J-R: Asia
S-Z: Europe
Position 2 - Country Code: Within North America (1-5):
1,4,5: United States
2: Canada
3: Mexico
How can any VIN then begin with “5Y”? Their dictionary does not assign a value to “Y” in position 2??
The irony here is that, to me at least, someone that is comfortable being themself is generally much more attractive than someone trying to look good for the sake of looking good.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder :-)
OK, I was on my phone. Just checked on my desktop and agree the original could do with some margins. I stand behind the rest of what I said - the default colours for the “best” are awful - the black black and red red is really garish. If I didn’t notice the dark/light mode switch and contrast adjustment does it really matter if they were there or not? There is also way to much information on the “best” one - if I’m going to a web site cold, with no expectation at all of what you might find, I’m not going to sit there and read that much text - I need a gentle introduction, that may lead somewhere.
I prefer the original. The “better” one had a bit of a lag (only a fraction of a second, but in this context that’s important) loading and the “best” one has the same lag and unreadable colours.
I’m not a server admin., just a user. The Lemmy instance I’m on setup a Piefed instance in parallel and is giving users the option to use either, or both. I’m still trying to get my head around the history and the pros/cons of each but for now it seems like I’m switching to Piefed. I imagine that if most users move then the Lemmy instance might get shutdown in the future.
and added the government had “rigorously applied international law” in relation to the war in Gaza.
I’m no lawyer, but if the law allows for the continued sale of weapons to a government when there is an active arrest warrant for the leader of said government, for misuse of those weapons - then the law is broken.
And it’s not just any arrest warrant - the warrant is issued by the ICC, and the UK is a state party to the Rome Accord, which is the treaty that gives the ICC authority.
I didn’t know all that, I went and looked it up for this comment. The Wikipedia page was interesting reading.
I was able to move to the country my wife grew up in - she, as a citizen, sponsored my visa. We moved from an area with relatively high real estate cost (sold for over $1mil - we had a mortgage, but also significant equity) to an area where it’s much, much, cheaper (bought for about $100k currency corrected) so we could retire early - we’re both ~60.
