Wawa Wiwa, although I can’t find their original post with it. Seems to be at least 6 years old.

How did you get into doing real estate photography? It seems like a decent gig. I used to work in TV but got out because of the hours when I got married and had a family. Now I’m in an unrelated field.

Which team is that?

The Craigslist Best Of could be some fun reading

Albums are a great statement from artists but in the history of recorded music the LP phonograph or album is relatively new, introduced in 1948. Before then artists basically only released singles. In a way the album was originally a value purchase; instead of buying 7 different singles you could buy one LP for a lower price. It’s almost more like the modern “greatest hits” albums successful musicians release.

I don’t think it’s fair to outright dismiss someone who’s only releasing singles; it’s not actually a new phenomenon. Maybe they’re not saying as much as people releasing albums, but not all albums are really carrying a concept or bigger thought, either. Not everything needs to be a novel; there’s a place for short articles or random comments online.

Why would someone need that instead of just printing it and mailing it themselves?

Most of Apple’s Pro Apps were software they acquired from other companies. Logic Pro was originally developed by C-Labs, Final Cut Pro was originally developed by Macromedia, and Pixelmator was its own company.

I doubt they thought that far ahead, at least when Twitter was starting. Smartphones didn’t really exist back then, except maybe some BlackBerrys and Palm Pilot-type phones. The 140 character limit on Twitter was so the tweets could fit in a standard 160 character SMS message. It operated basically entirely over SMS; I’m not sure they even had a web version in the early days. I still remember getting messages on my flip phone from 40404, the number they used. Once I was in the Oregon desert on vacation for a week without signal and when I got back to a signal my phone kept buzzing for 20 minutes as all the tweets I’d missed were delivered. No algorithm back then, you got everything from people you followed, and no advertising either.

Interesting; in the US the driver who broke your arm would have to pay for your medical treatment, normally out of their automobile’s liability insurance but if they don’t have enough they would still be liable to pay for it. There are lawyers who make their entire career out of lawsuits on behalf of people injured in car crashes to make the insurance pay more. Not just the medical bills but paying for the time missed from work and other compensation. If the driver doesn’t have sufficient insurance or the driver flees the scene (hit and run) and remains unknown or uncaptured (since that makes the criminal charges much more serious), the victim could be out of luck, though.

I think a typical car insurance policy comes with coverage of $150k per injured person, though, so that’s usually sufficient.

You might need to improve the waterproofing along the wall. Really the best way to be confident in a fix is bringing in a qualified engineer to find the source and recommend a solution, but that’s also the most expensive solution.

The exact wording isn’t coming to me, but there are a lot of decisions in life where one option is basically as good as another. Making your choice successful depends less on the decision itself and more on how much effort you put into it.

So she’s holding her granddaughter, if I’m running the generations correctly?

I got one of those when I was in college and it was perfect for that. A little underpowered but great for writing, notes, etc.

Maybe it ate his coin

For some reason they posted this on their social media account

That can be especially effective on some of the genre-specific stations. I almost feel like I’m learning something when Richard Blade is on First Wave and he can really put together a set. Billy Idol is almost funny with how quickly he announces songs but if he has a guest it’s usually a fascinating conversation.

Designers would tell you the quality is typically better on a professionally designed and commercially sold/licensed font, although there have been some excellent FOSS fonts in recent years, usually because of someone paying professionals to put the same effort into the font but then releasing it under a Free or Open license. The drawback of commercial fonts is mainly cost, especially for some popular fonts. The cost can vary depending on your intended use, such as one price for print material, a different price for web use or app use, and online uses might even be licensed for how many visitors a site has. Like, a license might only cover 100,000 visitors per month.

And as others have mentioned, Google Fonts as a service is “free” but as with many Google offerings comes at the cost of additional Google tracking. They’re mainly using Free/Open fonts so they don’t have to pay licensing fees, not really out of support for free software. They have a lot of offerings that are mediocre ripoffs of commercial fonts.

Butterick’s Practical Typography has a few recommendations on Free/Open fonts. The whole “book” is something I recommend reading to anyone who has even a passing interest in making their written work look more professional.

It’s interesting considering how the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety really highlights what is more important for them to reduce in a collision. Modern cars might sustain much more damage and be more likely to get written off as a total loss, but that will probably cost them $30-40k at the high end in most wrecks. But if a person gets seriously injured the insurance company could very quickly be on the hook for the full $100-300k in medical bills most people get coverage for.

Featured comment on the first video pretty directly answers the question from @OP @Patnou@lemmy.world :

As a Firefighter I was called to an accident which turned out to be a head on collision between 60’s model Chrysler and a 2000 model Subaru. The Chrysler looked to have held up pretty good but the driver was taken to hospital with life threatening injuries. The Subaru was totalled back to the windscreen yet the mother and daughter in the car walked away without a scratch.
