Still has a stupid Windows logo on the

TIL Cueball is Alton Brown.
This is why I’ve never liked pinatas, chocolate Easter bunnies, or character-shaped cakes.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do we prevent QR codes from containing swastikas or similar?
5·3 days agoAh, so the same checks you need anyway to make sure the thing can actually be read – because a 2x2 vs 3x3 block might start to get hard to differentiate, for example – also happens to obviate OP’s issue as a coincidental side benefit.
But are they gonna keep the pepper?

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•OPNsense Mini PC Suggestion + Switch + AP? (And running cables)English
1·5 days agoFurthermore, how do you go about running cables in your home?
You watch some Youtube videos about how to do it and then you follow the instructions.
It’s going to depend a lot on the construction details of your house:
- Do you have wooden framing (common in the US), masonry (common in Europe, as I understand it), or something else?
- Do you have access to an attic or basement/crawlspace?
- Do you need to run wires on exterior walls (which means dealing with insulation), or just interior ones?
For me (wooden frame construction, accessible attic and basement), I didn’t find it to be too difficult. Is it work? Yeah, of course. But it’s not that bad, and I recommend spending the effort because having proper wall plates wtih in-wall wires is way nicer than having stuff snaking along surfaces.
LOL, it lights up when the character jumps.
McDonalds french fries aren’t even the best french fries, let alone the best thing made from potatoes in general.
Hot dogsWat comes in packages of ten, whilehot dog bunsinjera comes in packages of eight. You’ve got to buy 40 each of the damn things to use them up evenly. It’s a conspiracy, I tell ya!
MFW I go to recommend Insomnia instead, then realize that it’s apparently enshittified with “create an account” bullshit too.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you still remember the layout of all the houses/apartments you've lived in? Are there any other places where you still have a "map" of in your head?
4·7 days agoYep. Couldn’t tell you dates, names, or many events, but I have a great mental image of what the places looked like and how they were laid out.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•(serious) What would we be losing in a world where most people didn't own a car? Please read the OP before posting.
61·7 days agoPersonally (city dweller) a car is a time machine. I can get where I need to go mostly on a bike or my feet, but if I’m pressed for time - and that happens plenty - a car can get me there faster.
If your city were designed properly, that wouldn’t be true. Not that it was the most scientific thing in the world, but Top Gear famously demonstrated biking being faster than driving across London, for example.
If you think her comics are “men bad” then you’re the kind of bad man she’s making comics about.
My masculinity, on the other hand, isn’t challenged in the slightest.
Sometimes the obvious needs to be stated, because too often people are just that fucking oblivious.
Humble Bundle already enshittified, and Epic was evil to begin with.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is there currently an influx of bots in the Fediverse, or is it just that the usual patriotism is kicking in?
10·8 days agoAFAIK that whole instance is nothing but Reddit repost communities and ought to just be defederated.














Most of mine have already been mentioned, but the biggie that hasn’t is: the Back to the Future trilogy.
Not only are there lots of little details you probably don’t catch on the first viewing, I’m surprised they don’t make more millennial-and-older users’ lists just from them being often the best thing on TV, in the ancient times before streaming.
