I don't remember reading this one before! Lovely surprise, like having 2 snacks fall, when you only paid for one. Even if one snack is a bit ginger, whiny and resentful!
The dad is so large and square. There's still a huge, round steering wheel that, I assume, is mechanically connected to the steering. They are playing Scrabble, so that must one smooth ride. I like this a lot, if Cybertruck had an options package to make its cabin a little bit more like this, maybe they would sell better. Square Dad should be DLC.
NEW FRONTIERS! Radio station in Kraków fires all human hosts, uses a janky LLM to interview the ghost of a beloved Polish poet. Manager is shocked by what happens next!
EDIT: added correct link to article
The radio station manager seems solely responsible, he needs Jesus Christ in his life. Perhaps a kick in the piroshkis.
Briefly acquainted with Sirius a ways back, the talk radio was the best part. I liked the one hosted by Nancy Sinatra, her insights into her own life and her dad's legacy were fascinating. There would be a decent block of his music, then a bit of commentary. Her voice is actually soothing, but not so much that you get sleepy at all. Craig Ferguson did a show on Sirius a while back, high quality rambling and light on the interview topics.
Yeah, so have a dead lady talk to no one, without asking her relatives if they mind hearing Great-Auntie promoting Instagram, while they're doing the school drop off. They will not mind, they love OFF. Real estate agents are contacting this family like mad, as they are about to acquire a chain of radio stations.
I couldn't disagree more. I hope neither of us turns out to be right. I hope Russia has its own Maidan that topples the dictators, that's what it's going to take, unfortunately. Maybe 100 bloody Maidans.
I really enjoy the smell of a perfectly balanced pool in the summer.
She's trying to breastfeed. Maybe bring her a comfortable chair and a drink, after you get out of the weeds, fool.
Hell yeah. That's where the $19 billion went that the CEO is going on about.
There are people who have never heard of the Streisand Effect.
No one from Intuit has any business asking an interviewer to, essentially, falsify data that can easily influence share price. If Goodarzi can't take the heat in an important interview, then her minions failed to prep her adequately. That's a "you" problem, Miss "I am Intuit", not the reporter's problem.
Thank you. That's horrifying. There's not enough animal manure, ashes or bones for the fields because ...?
I think the nuclear material he mentioned in his speech last week is hidden in a concrete and lead lined bunker that is actually in his balls.

A fresh look at cultural identity will follow outline of 60-year-old Survey of Language and Folklore, conducted by two academics driving a red Mini

Norwegian Fishermen Have The Clankers, It Seems.
So, yeah, Norwegian fishing boat confronts Russians during firing drills in the Arctic Ocean. Russians say "leave", Norwegians say "No U". Warning shot fired. Up until today, Norway was still allowing port visits from Russian-flagged vessels. Will that go away, along with Russian crews' chances for hot meals and revelry?
To be fair, it's hard to live without Wi-Fi.
How many of you were this? Just shout "Stonky" instead of "Spartacus" and step forward, you know the drill.

The Fediverse 2024 Canvas Atlas is ready

You can start by clicking the “Draw” button, then drawing the element and filling other informations (all but the title are optionals. The 4 specific kind of links (Lemmy, Matrix, Discord, SubReddit) are just to better format them, but any kind of link can be put in the “Website” box). Once finished, you’ll have a piece of JSON code that you can copy-paste in a post on the above community (not this [email protected] one). A bot will then make an MR on Gitlab, which will allow preview, review and approval. (note that opening the MR might take 10 minutes, and making the preview another 10 minutes. Technically speaking, it work by polling, which is not very efficient for quick reaction time). > > The full source code is also available on sc07’s GitLab https://git.sc07.company/marius851000/fediverse-canvas-atlas-2024 and there is also a Matrix room at https://matrix.to/#/#lemmy-canvas-atlas-discussion:mariusdavid.fr (avaible from the general Canvas space). > > ps: There is no formal method to describe an entry. I will recommend starting by describing what is presented, then putting more meta information, like which community (or user) placed it, who drew it and this kind of stuff.
EU limits anonymous cash payments to €3k and all cash payments to €10k. Pirate party reacts.
If you want to pay large sums of money abroad in the EU, for example when buying a car, there are a few rules you need to follow. This is because many EU countries have cash limits. This means that cash payments can only be made up to a certain amount.

The response on Lemmy to the shooting yesterday has been a real test of character, and so many of y'all have failed
cross-posted from: https://dubvee.org/post/1509706
> Mod Note: I'm bending the "no politics' rule to highlight a disgusting trend I've been seeing on Lemmy lately. Due to the sheer volume of comments fitting that trend and the huge number downvotes given to anyone who speaks out against it, I'm convinced this opinion is truly unpopular in the Lemmy-verse. This is also topical and important enough to merit discussion or at least to provide a point of reflection. So while it touches on politics, that's merely the framing device of current events being used to highlight a larger problem. > > As you're inevitably downvoting this, at least take a good, long look in the mirror while you do so. > > --- > > The sheer number of people here praising the shooter, advocating for, glorifying, or just flat out calling for violence has been a real eye opener and litmus test for the kind of people I've surrounded myself with on this platform. Suffice it to say, a lot of you have failed that test spectacularly. > > A rational, independent thinker should be able to condemn this kind of violence even when it's targeted towards their "enemies." Political violence has absolutely NO PLACE in a healthy society, and no one should be praising or advocating for it. No one. Ever. This is one thing that, regardless of the paradox of tolerance, should be universally condemned. > > There are, apparently, a ton of extremists here that don't see themselves as such because they believe their extremism is justified and that they're on the right side of history. Ironically, which is what all extremists think. > > This goes back further than just yesterdays's events. For example, it's been a common refrain since the Supreme Court presidential immunity decision that, paraphrased, "The current non-dictator president should do dictator things to stop the other dictator". Which is just another flavor of "Extremism is bad except when it's my flavor of extremism". > > Don't give me that "it's just gallows humor", "I'm oppressed, and he deserved it", "if you had a time machine, wouldn't you go back to 1934...", "we haven't been a healthy society for X years...", or other excuses. This is a BFD with major implications and ramifications, and y'all Lemmings are treating like we just missed the exit ramp to Utopia and are trying to find a wide spot to make a U-turn. > > It's certainly fine to have no sympathy for the guy (I sure as hell don't), but it's another thing entirely to be cheering on, promoting, and/or advocating for extremist stances like those being thrown out lately. > > You say you want a better society? Then act like it! > > Moments like this are the true test of one's character and intellectual honesty, and I'm beyond disappointed in so many of you. >
