That would mean that instead of an engine, you’re lugging around a battery pack, which is just as heavy while giving you a fraction of the range of an engine. Not to forget that battery cells have only a finite lifespan.

Meanwhile, OHLE gives you infinite range and room for major weight savings. Plus you can keep running the same power system for decades.

WAR! HOO!
What is it good for?! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING MAKING FRIES TASTY!

Tbh, I prefer Special, which is just the mayo, onions and curry sauce or ketchup.

Because you made a seemingly insightful response to what I’m pretty sure is sketch comedy.

… Are you sure I am the one you wanted to make this response to?

Hell if I know, but it came from The Hole^TM

The official reason is so that Big G is the default search engine on every install.

But that may very well just be a smokescreen.

Let’s face it, state-mandated & enforced heterosexuality and cisgenderness hasn’t stopped people from being gay and/or trans, so I’m pretty sure state mandated homosexuality will be purely symbolic.

Re: GFCI’s

At least in my country, GFCI’s are required to be fitted in the fuse box, to protect the entire building. Not just rooms which are prone to ground faults. In the American type, the protection is optional.

Men, do yourself a favour.

If a girl ghosts you because of the phone you use, she’s clearly too shallow to bother with, and it’s worth ghosting her back.

Girls, do yourself a favour.

If you’ve got a problem that a guy uses a 'droid, you may want to reconsider your priorities.

what would have stopped you from typing an exclamation point, cycling back one character, and then adding a question mark‽

Not quite. All the threads point to it being a mass-produced scrambled egg mixture that’s distributed in bags, which are cooked to completion at the restaurant. Otherwise, they’d need to dedicate people to cracking and beating eggs, especially in places where turnover is pretty high.

I heard that there were already plans for protests. I’m considering to join them.

Same. Although I have a few services where I use it to log in, sooo…

I’m currently about 90% Lemmy, 10% Reddit for general topics, mostly still hanging on to Reddit for specific games that I haven’t found out here yet.

The trains aren’t that mad to figure out.

• Chain signals into crossings/junctions, block signals out.
• This also applies to any track section where a train can block other trains.
• Signals and stations only work to the right of the travel direction
• Signals without another signal on the other side are strictly one-directional.
• you can mismatch signals of any pair, i.e. a block sig opposite of a chain sig.
• Using signals within a junction can be useful to improve capacity of said junction, though you must use chain signals for that.
• Always make sure your longest regular train can fully leave a junction/crossing/flow-critical block before it hits another signal.
• Having one train length across your entire fleet can make this easier to wrap your head around

As for station stopping instructions, that’ll take a few more lines to go into.

Looking at my steam:

Total: Factorio. Though I do think I need to put that one on hold after I’m finally done with my current save - which is not far out anymore. Also, this game has multiplayer so it may technically not count.

Recent: Derail Valley, a very down-to-basics train simulator, focusing on cargo rail in a fictional rendition of an area in the Balkans. They recently put out a major update, which makes all kinds of simulation features much more expansive.

Looking at my Steam, the game with the highest number of hours played, of which I would currently say unambiguously that you should avoid it, looks to be War Thunder. Among the reasons I’d tell you to stay away from it:

• It’s a grindfest starting very early on.
• It’s far too easy to lose as a result of what can reasonably be called bad luck.
• Unless you specialise, or throw real money at it, the fun, high-tech stuff is probably thousands of hours into the future.
• There’s content gated behind “if you were around when this was regular stuff, you will never get it”
• It calls itself an MMO, while there’s nothing MMO about it. It’s all instanced battles, with little to no world continuity as you progress.

My expectation, or at least hope, is that Lemmy will grow horizontally, i.e. more instances for more specialised content, instead of vertically, i.e. more communities in singular, larger instances. Since it’s all federated, you can get to stuff in other instances.

I just had an idea. Let’s compare reddit and lemmy as land use metaphors.

Reddit is like one monolithic megacity. It’s full of communites, some big, encompassing entire neighbourhoods, and others smaller, having one street, one block, maybe even just one building.

Lemmy is like a country, with every instance a city. Some cities are big and varied, others are smaller and specialised, like ones dedicated entirely to fishing or aviation or being German. And you can choose a city to settle in and move between cities for your content. Some cities will be more open to sharing content with residents of other cities, and others will put up bigger restrictions. There are jokes about parts of the userbase on 4chan or Tumblr forming their own subcommunities, and the fediverse allows this in a very material way.

My expectation is that more cities may emerge as people develop more specialised communities. And since there are many cities, there is some resilience in the system. If an instance goes down, you’ve lost one instance. Out of christ knows how many. Chances are some of its content is duplicated across other instances, so nothing of value is lost. Meanwhile, if (/when) Reddit goes down, all of Reddit is gone.

In short, I hope lemmy develops more, smaller, specialised instances over time. Reddit allowed very niche insterests to have a corner, and despite that, I think the fediverse is more suited to allow for that than a centralised service.

It looks to be another federated instance that seems to be compatible with other Lemmy instances.
