If anyone can keep this species alive, it’s Rasputin.

To expand your palate. And also, once you get a taste for them, you ascend to a higher plane of existence.

There’s a secret to liking olives. You have to keep eating them until you pass the gross-bliss barrier. I used to hate olives, but now they’re like crack to me.

Can this even be considered a meme when it hits so close to home?

I don’t have much of an opinion on Twitter or what Elon does with Twitter, but I’m not a fan of this rebranding.

That said, I’m going to upvote you since the rest of Lemmy is apparently all about quashing dissenting opinions.

Bet you could buy a lot of teepees with that money and increase the curb appeal of tent cities.

I could tell them that, and they would be rightfully pissed off. In most cases, though, a disabled person can figure out this puzzle, go on with their day, and not have to pay $1,500 for the inconvenience.

Yes for OLED. Sometimes for LCD.

From what I understand, LCDs can have a resting state that will either stop light, or a resting state that will let light through. The backlight remains on, but a panel that natively blocks the light will require less power when showing black.

Depends on the resting state of the LCD.

An El Camino is a chariot of the gods. It transcends common labels.

Damaging the car may cost the owner a significant sum to repair. The car blocking the sidewalk is definitely shitty, but mostly amounts to a minor inconvenience.

Maybe just deflate the tires or leave a strongly worded letter on the windshield instead.

When I was a kid I told everyone my neighbor was Ronald Reagan. I later learned that guy’s last name was actually Segan. It was already too late, though. I’m pretty sure all the people I told were convinced that the former president lived on my culdesac.

Maybe that girl just got her dad’s rat turd story mixed up.

I don’t know, man. I think you could run the fediverse if you put your mind to it.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m onboard with these decentralized platforms. I’m not questioning the value of this federation system, but the potential volatility of parts of it. The concept of an '‘instance’ may be old, but that seems to be a new buzzword, fit for abuse.

It feels like starting a new instance is the trendy thing to do, similar to creating some new crypto shitcoin a few years ago. Of course, nothing is guaranteed, but I would imagine more deeply rooted instances would generally offer more support and be less likely to disappear.

Would a smaller instance not be more likely to have weaker support, or more prone to shutting down and taking you with it?

Classic reference!

I recently discovered this app, and am thoroughly impressed by it. Basically, you collect and curate recipes with it. It removes all the nonsense fluff, life stories, and ads from recipe pages, and saves only the recipe, ingredients, and directions.
