Yeah? Well, so’s your face!

Agreed. Seems we’re losing the distinction between “one-to-many” (broadcast) and “one-to-one” (streaming) transmission models.

Self defense is predicated on the “reasonable person” standard. Anyone finding themselves (or another) imperiled by what they reasonably believe to be a machine gun is justified in doing anything they reasonably believe necessary to end the threat.

So 20 miles per hour across 24 hours gets us a distance of 480 miles.

Going from Europe to the Americas by way of Scotland and Iceland is going to be a bit of a problem for that bird, as it can expect pretty consistent 10-20kt headwinds for the entire journey. America to Europe by that route is a comparatively easy trip.

I doubt that owls are capable of effective dynamic soaring, but that would drastically reduce the energy requirements.

They don’t need the cooperation of telecom providers. They receive the same signal you send to the cell tower. Even if the signal is encrypted so they can’t see what you are sending, they can identify that you are sending.

With enough receivers listening, they can identify your location to a pretty high accuracy.

Privacy policies are irrelevant here. They are picking up unique data as your phone communicates with a cell tower. You can do it with a $15 RTL-SDR receiver.

Get a hundred receivers and you can pinpoint anybody in a city.

Go back like 30 generations, and see how many times people had to have fucked just to make you. 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16…

So are most people.

That might be the worst salute I’ve ever seen.

Some context might provide the distinction.

• Adam: “Jane told me that he licked her asshole.”

• • Jane: “I never said he licked my asshole.” <-- He never licked my asshole, and I never claimed that he did. Adam is lying about both parts.
• • Jane: “I never said he licked my asshole.” <-- He licked my asshole, but I never told anyone that he did. Adam learned about the asshole-licking from someone other than me.

Saluting in the US, your hand should be rotated so that the palm of your hand is toward your own face. The person in front of you should be able to see the back of your hand, not your palm. Also, the tips of your fingers should be touching the outside corner of your eyebrow, or the outside corner of your glasses, or the corner of the brim of your cap. The middle of the forehead is right out.

• I never said he licked my asshole. <-- Someone else said it.
• I never said he licked my asshole. <-- I was accused of having said it; I’ve never said it.
• I never said he licked me asshole. <-- He licked my asshole, but I didn’t talk about it.
• I never said he licked my asshole. <-- Someone licked my asshole, but it wasn’t him.
• I never said he licked my asshole. <-- He did something with my asshole, but it wasn’t licking.
• I never said he licked my asshole. <-- He licked an asshole, just not mine.
• I never said he licked my asshole. <-- He licked some part of me, just not my asshole.

Reviews are one of the things that online storefront platforms consider in their algorithms. More reviews means their algorithm pushes my listings in front of a few more faces, and I get to make a little more money.

I don’t ask for reviews myself. The people who do are trying to game their platform’s algorithms.

A contradiction in terms.

Based on the current state of some countries and attacks of certain minorities, including Latinos and Trans people in the USA, it isn’t safe to post certain views on Lemmy when the Tor Browser is not allowed, including not being allowed for registration.

If you need Tor to post something on Lemmy, you shouldn’t be posting that thing on lemmy. Posting on Lemmy fundamentally defeats the purpose of Tor.

Tor does not increase the safety of Lemmy. Lemmy destroys any degree of privacy provided by Tor.

Blocked.

I’m going to start putting those signs on public microwaves…

Communism/socialism requires some mechanism to compel cooperation with the collective’s objectives. The greater the degree of central planning, the greater the authoritarianism required to implement it. When you reach a level of centralization sufficient to justify the “communism” label, you’re well into the “authoritarian” quadrants.

Indeed.

Unfortunately, no matter how well you tune your carburetor, just a change in atmospheric temperature is enough to throw off your mixture.

The only feasible way to adjust it fast enough to keep up with atmospheric changes is with some kind of fuel injection, an ECM, and an O2 sensor to provide the feedback needed for closed-loop mixture control.

Lean burning increases mileage, but produces nitrous oxides.

Rich burning produces carbon monoxide, which eventually converts to CO2 in the atmosphere.

Unit for unit, NOx emissions are 265 times as damaging as CO/CO2.

To successfully convert NOx, catalytic converters need a stoichiometric or slightly rich fuel/air mixture to the engine.
