    Yeah they got into the supply route and added c4 to all those pagers. Makes me wonder how many pagers or smartphones have added explosives still.

    Unironisch korrekt. Braucht aber ein Grundverständnis für den eigenen Verstand und wie er unter der Haube funktioniert. "What you resist, persists." Liebevolle Akzeptanz für alle Gefühle (insbesondere die negativen!) ist der erste Schritt für das Wiedererlangen von Kontrolle.

    5 1/4" floppy disk drives had little sensors that would detect a notch in the side of the rectangular disk sleeve (well outside of the round magnetic disk inside). Open notch meant "writeable". Manufacturers would sell "one sided" disks cheaper with missing notch for the backside of the disk to prevent using it. You could use a hole punch to pierce the soft plastic sleeve and make a "writable" hole at the correct spot. The disks inside were identical on both sides, there never was a "one-sided floppy disk", technically. This was during the "C64 and everybody got the games by exchanging floppy disks on the school yard" phase of home computing (ca 1985). Prices for floppy disks mattered a lot back then.

    Depends on data density. Still got a c64 with a whole box of 5 1/4" floppy disks. Last time I checked every one I tried worked fine, and they were written about 33 years ago.

    Well put, however I find code formatting itself has a shape, texture and smell. How the programmer weaves the patterns of formatting tells a lot about his mind and style.

    Yeah you'll get downvoted, because spending 5k on cold hamburgers from McDonald's ist not something anybody would do. It's something an idiot would do. Everyone with two brain cells would have started calling large restaurants or catering providers and ask them if they can make something happen.

    Jokes aside this is a real instinct of great chefs - taste everything. I remember seeing a documentary with Gordon Ramsay in which he visited Middle America and investigated the drug trade. In a scene some drug cook mixed diesel fuel with raw cocaine and Ramsay - clearly without thinking- dipped his finger in and tasted it. Instant regret, but he really couldn't help himself :)

    Little book full of German religious psalms and poetry, printed 1692. Not worth much really, but smells great and is fun to look at. Have to be careful with it though, quite brittle if still in good shape.

    Most important thing in my experience is getting the most slow ass charging adapter with the crappiest cable and use that for charging overnight. Many phones already have some intelligent charging strategy, but you should limit the charging speed (and thus temperature) as much as possible. My OnePlus already only charges to 80% and only finishes to 100% one hour before I wake up, helps as well. Stay away from 0% or 100% whenever possible.

Wenn die Sicherheitsgurte herausreißen und die Menschen aus der Fahrzeug fliegen, kann man auch vorstellen was für Kräfte da gewirkt haben. Keine Chance.

    Hätte jetzt knallrot gesagt, aber mein Gedanke. Da sieht man teilweise weiße Steine direkt zwischen weissen Linien, genial. Meine Freundin hat keine Tiefenwahrnehmung (ja, man darf mit einem Auge Auto fahren) und würde ohne Ortskenntnis da auch SEHR aufpassen müssen, die Dinger nicht für Teile der Linie zu halten. Baulich gute Maßnahme, maximal dämlich umgesetzt. Halb so hoch hätte es auch getan, warum reicht nicht ein Reifenschaden, muss man echt die Achse zerstören... Und ja, beim Ausparken fahre ich auch mal über eine Linie, meine Güte.

    Word games. "God" and "Soul" are so ill-defined you can get literally anyone to agree that those "things" (thinks?) exist. If I define "soul" as "repeating emergent pattern of genetically and environmentally internal state and observable behaviour in a sentient species" I maybe could even get some people in this community to agree that such a concept exists. If I use a more religious definition like "magic non physical entity bestowed by an eternal god" all I would get is a resounding "NOO!". It is the memetics strength of those concepts by being incredibly flexible and vague that will ensure their ongoing use and existence - and questions like this one.

    List of Reddit community alternatives?

    Hi lemmings, did anyone make the effort to gather a list of (major) Reddit communities and their equivalent on Lemmy? Some obviously just kept their name (hail anime_titties, which is NOT what you think it is :)), but with others I cannot seem to find similar communities in Lemmy. If anyone knows of such a list I would be much obliged, especially anything that would be frontpage material. Cheers! *Edit* Found https://sub.rehab/
