Why does that breed always look like their entire world is crashing down around them right this moment? Like, a stage actress training for her role as Juliet when she discovers Romeo killed himself because he thought she was dead, could take her cues from this photo.

Doesn’t Elmo get bullied enough without people comparing him to an egomaniac with too much money and not enough sense?

Less standardized than just the most natural coloring. Or wildcat coloring. The standard insofar as monocolor coats, long hair, calico, etc. are nonstandard for cats as a species.

That’s the joke.

Btw: Anyone made a /c/thatsthejoke or /m/thatsthejoke yet?

Anyway

Is there a known downside to this mutation? Like increased risk of autoimmune disorders?

as a result the laws are far most maliable
*malleable 😉

Not enough for the needs of an HDD

If you write !someCommunity@some.instance and aren’t on some.instance yourself, that works for everyone, regardless of whether their instance server knows about that community already or not.

If you are on some.instance and write !someCommunity@some.instance, both lemmy and kbin are overzealous and it ends up only working for people on some.instance.

In that case, you can use [link text for lemmy users](/c/someCommunity@some.instance) and [link for kbin users](/search?q=someCommunity@some.instance). The one for kbin users looks a bit different to guarantee the link works even if their instance doesn’t have anyone subscribed to someCommunity@some.instance yet. Not sure if the lemmy link works in such a case.````````

IIRC it’s technically possible to attach an external harddrive to a Raspberry Pi if it has its own power supply.

I seem to remember doing a botch where I took a USB hard disk drive that was supposed to get its power from the PC through the cable and rerouted the power over USB lines to a dedicated power brick.

My memory says I carefully removed a section of mantle in the middle of the drive’s USB cable, cut the power carrying lines but leaving the data lines intact, cut one end of a different USB cable, connected the power lines of that with the cut power lines of the drive’s cable (only on the drive side, obviously), put the intact end of the second cable into a USB charge plug, and connected the drive and RPi as if the RPi were a regular PC.

I’m pretty sure it worked.

Overwatch PR showing they don’t understand English grammar. That’s a picture of skin, not a picture of a skin. The “a” matters.

That’s 100% what I expected.

"Hey iordseyton,

It seems you haven’t adapted to your new nickname? 😉

Why on earth is this tagged as NSFW?

Ah, so it was people being prideful idiots because it didn’t come from their own fiefdom.

True. Why did it remain relatively unknown while webp seems to have taken off?

So basically what APNG tried to be?

Yeah, I’ve heard of this scenario basically the first time I heard about climate change period, and that was before 2004.

For a long time I (and people around me) just believed I must have become a lazy person and that I just needed to get over myself. The idea that I might be ill didn’t even come up. When I struggled to write my bachelor’s thesis I did visit an insurance-approved psychologist, but all that guy did was trying to find ways I could motivate myself, with no attempt to find out what was causing me to struggle in the first place rather than just reinforce my perception that I must just be lazy. After a couple of months I stopped going because all those visits did was making me feel worse. Also, because I chose to go to a psychologist directly rather than being delegated there by a doctor/psychiatrist, insurance only covered half of the cost, so it was a waste of money as well.

Really the first idea that it might be a mental illness rather than a personality flaw and being a general failure of a person didn’t come up at all until I read a book in which I saw a lot of myself in the protagonist’s mother who was said in the book to have depression. That same week I had my second bout of suicidal ideation, which drove me to get help asap.

Two reasons I can think of:

• Information is more trustworthy if you can arrive at the same conclusion or at least understand how the other person arrived at it given the same information. If someone tells you that person X should be avoided, you could either blindly follow that advice or ask for a reason to decide whether you’d agree with the assessment.
• Knowing the reasons behind something is also useful for extrapolating to new knowledge. A child who asks why they need to bathe will not just learn to wash themselves regularly but also about hygene in general, societal expectations about body odor and/or a possible disease vector.
