Some awful app needed to start the game that always needs a protracted update using administrator privileges every time I run it, (on top of Steam which does pretty much the same thing), doesn't really draw me back to their products either.

Which part of Kent? I hope it's not hanging around the wreck of the SS Richard Montgomery!

Electoral law should at least demand the same levels of identification for the candidates as it does for the voters. Candidates should be on the electoral register (somewhere) and they should've presented one of the recognised forms of photo ID.

I had an extremely religious teacher in secondary school. He had a habit of threatening other staff, tradesmen, drivers in front of his pupils with "I know taekwando", then relising what he'd just done and repenting/distracting with "let us pray". One morning we came into the classroom to find him in a huddle with his union rep. Turned out he'd spent the night in jail after being arrested affray (fighting).

For almost all religious people their faith provides guidance and comfort, but you don't want to encourage the nuts.

Would the spread with the cylinder choke also be indicative of the accuracy of a muzzle loading smooth bore musket?

It might be that the default for Windows is to sleep rather than do a full shutdown. Whenever Linux looks at a Windows partition it looks corrupted. When windows starts up again it's inconsistent as some of the data was in the sleep image.

It looks a bit fancy but it was common for muskets to be used as clubs when they'd been fired and there was no time to reload. I guess bayonets are the modern variant of this idea.

I've given the 3x noodles a go. Although banning them seems ridiculous, in the words of Big Clive, "why do they even say chicken" https://youtu.be/FH5vp-VyZFU "So spicy they're banned in Denmark" would look good on the packet though.

This billionaire, rather than trying to wing-it and design his own submarine, is enlisting the services of a company that has already designed, built, and used a number of record setting deep-sea manned submarines.

This seems like a playbook answer to a question about a subject that's of little immediate importance to his administration, but of some importance to a minority in both Argentina and Britain. Basically saying to his electorate "we haven't forgotten" and to Britain "we're not going to do anything".

AM radio costs nothing to implement, that's not why it's absent from me cars. Many modern cars use some form of brushless motor in the power train. The inverters for these motors work at a frequency that interferes with AM radio reception at close range. Manufacturers can add it back to cars (probably by an over the air software update as many radios are SDR), but it'll just pick up whistling when the car's moving.

Under 3 minutes? What's the rush, these are forever chemicals, they've got all the time in the world.

 

Sorting communities by instance would be helpful, it would also be good to have a list of which instances are blocked by my instance and which are available.

 

Finally watched Tenet. After all the hype and discussion on Reddit when it was released, I was expecting some sort of neigh-on impenetrable profound piece of cinema, but it's just Primer with action sequences.

 

At the moment, using lemmy feels a bit like docking at one of those outposts somewhere between Colonia and the bubble. There's not much here yet, but you know its going to grow.
