G. Elliot Morris on Bluesky did a breakdown of the numbers and his very conservative, low-end number was 4mil. Top end was 6mil.

According to a few posts on Bluesky this is being caused by the smoke canisters their firing into the crowd.

If I’m ever attacked without prior involvement with my attacker the death match has just started.

Without prior involvement I have zero ways of knowing why I’m being subjected to violence, and my safest assumption is that they mean to kill me.

Therefore my entire life is now being measured in seconds. I will do whatever it takes to eliminate the threat and remove that counter from my existence.

I’m thinking it was Oumuamua in 2017. It actually hit us, destroyed the planet, and we’ve been in hell ever since. Nicely coincides with Trump 1.0 because why the fuck not.

Last heard (a few months ago) the cost is in storage. The protocol isn’t too complicated now, but it generates a shit ton of data, and IIRC you need a minimum of 3 copies.

Looking forward to trying out Hexblade, one of my favorite TT D&D subclasses.

Mandate a minimum of five parties.

Get money out of politics.

No campaigning and/or fundraising until 2 months before the election.

Federal elections are national holidays.

This is a really nice park, and the views are stunning.

However when we visited the bus drops you off at almost sea level and you have to walk up a very sharp incline to reach it. Hopefully someday they put a bus stop up there.

I’m paraphrasing here: About 200K people canceled their WaPo subs after they failed to endorse. Bezos made $400M in the stock surge that happened after Agent Orange was elected.

So he made about $2K for every cancellation.

Looking for recommendations on USB hubs (lemmy.world)
 

Good morning everybody! I have a cheap 4-port USB-A hub connected to my Mac Studio, and after many issues where my computer won't wake up and then won't find the external boot drive, I've figured out that it's the USB hub!

Since it's USB-A it need not be fancy, or powered, etc., I just need it to not crash my computer. What do you use? Do you have any issues? Would you "recommend it to a friend"?

Thank in advance!

In case you're not aware... (lemmy.world)
 

If you do an internet search for "Flem" you get:

Did you mean: phlegm

Listen to pronunciation. (flem) A more than normal amount of thick mucus made by the cells lining the upper airways and lungs. A buildup of phlegm may be caused by infection, irritation, or chronic lung disease, and can cause discomfort in the chest and coughing.

Also: phlegmy

n. 1. Thick, sticky, stringy mucus secreted by the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract, as during a cold or other respiratory infection. 2. One of the four humors of ancient and medieval physiology, thought to cause sluggishness, apathy, and evenness of temper.

So while the idea of this app sounds amazing you may be looking at a Brand Name problem due to undesired association with the above. (I'd never heard of #2 above, but that's a hard ask of people to associate your app/work with such an obscure reference instead of the common one.)

Note that "Wefwef" was rebranded as "Voyager" due to community feedback on "wefwef" being nonsensical. Turns out the dev. named it that initially because that's what his hand typed out on the keyboard since he really didn't have a name prepared.

Printing the PDFs of the Paizo Pathfinder Flip-Mats? (lemmy.world)
 

I just downloaded one and, unless I'm missing something, the file is missing the usual, "Permission to print for personal use…." text.

Perhaps Paizo has a standard statement somewhere else that these can be printed? Without the ability to print these I'm unsure, outside of VTTs…maybe, what their use is for GMs.

I purchased one to try out, and was planning on having it printed on a large-format printer at Kinko's. However without that statement/release I can't see any commercial provider touching these for printing.
