Apple tech is a prison just like any other cloud “the customer is the product” tech. The bars just happen to have a better UX.

Her body, her choice. Had to live with the consequences either way. She’s a badass in my book.

They use to say television rots the brain, but now it’s clear that television just rots.

See, if anything, I think it demonstrates that most people are annoying… Even after just a few seconds.

This is a perfectly executed shower thought. No notes.

That may be, but I doubt many Cybertruck owners would want to make it less clear they own a Cybertruck.

A fellow greendale alum. Streets ahead!

They’re similar. Generally welding is focused on fusing metals of similar makeup (I.e. steel to steel). While It does frequently (but not always) use “filler” but a good weld relies in the actual fusion of the separate metal pieces, basically melting the pieces together. The filler also tends to be similar in composition to the fused metals.

Soldering uses a dissimilar metal to join pieces and it doesn’t fuse the pieces together.

There’s also brazing, which is somewhere in between those two.

But, yea, honestly I generalize it all into a hot glue gun for metal :-P

Makes sense. It sure as shit didn’t have any real intelligence.

Lucky living?

The east / west division in the cost of light bulbs.

Personally, I think this is a meaningless question. For me it’s all about utility. I’ve found science to provide utility to me in helping understand and, more importantly, predict the world. I’ve not found the same in religion. I choose paths that provide utility.

Probably could have stopped that headline at the third word.

If Reddit is a mall for ideas, then Lemmy is more like an economy for ideas. Or many malls that are linked by an instant, intergalactic transport system. You know, I’d probably go back to malls if they had that.

I’ve not known any. But it also seems like those things have a correlative and not causative relationship.

There’s certainly a history of big tobacco getting actors to smoke on screen, so that’s certainly part of it. But another reason an actor might want to smoke is it gives them a way to utilize body language in a way that’s plausible within the scene. Cigarettes, cigars, pipes, pens, eye glasses… these sorts of props are often almost invisible (as the audience just sort of takes them for granted), but can be used by an actor with intent to convey some unsaid context.
