Cities Skylines with a thousand or so assets can need more than 32 as well.

I signed up on lemmy.today and can see and interact with I’m pretty sure everything, I’m not sure what is meant by doesn’t federate anything?

straight out of Mr. Bean lol

I was at an OHL (minor league hockey) game and they had a couple of very little kids teams come out to skate around the ice before the anthem and puck drop, but while the kids were skating around they rolled out a long carpet to centre ice for the anthem singer to walk out on. Every single kid came around the corner right into the carpet and wiped out, one by one, someone ran out on the carpet waving their arms to try and tell them to STOP! but they either couldn’t stop or didn’t notice and all of them ate it.

The crowd was a mix of people horrified and going OH NOOOO and others laughing their asses off. It was quite the scene.

I’m in Canada and it’s how I got all my meters until I got switched to a CGM. The hospital sent me home with a starter pack with a brand and some samples. I’ve never seen generic strips here, but that would be welcome. I’ve used FreeStyle and AccuChek and both required the branded strips, but never had to pay for a meter. I’ve seen commercials on TV for Contour doing the same deal.

Best Buy used to/might still idk sell a meter under the brand iHealth, the strips were about half the price. I tried it out and it worked fine but eventually I got proper insurance and used what was prescribed.

Blood Glucose Monitors and the related test strips. Usually you can get the meter for free if you buy 100 strips or something, and then you’re locked in to the closed system

I would hope that all the politicians and celebrities people actually parasocially care about would get all the attention something like this would stir up and compared with how awful so many of them are in public, even the worst posts of mine would hopefully end up pretty tame in comparison to whatever they’re up to anonymously.

I really like Wild Wild West, I didn’t watch it for forever because of how hated it is/was but thought it was actually funny and enjoyed the mix of steampunk and goofyness. Kevin Kline is always great.

I also like Jingle All the Way and watch it every few years, it’s perfectly watchable until the very end when it collapses under a terrible CGI spectacle that just doesn’t work

I went to see it at noon after dropping the car off for work and was literally the only one in the theatre. I thought it was pretty good.

“hit me on my two-way”

I was on there recently and saw the same LET THEM FIGHT GIF posted 12 times in the same thread and all of them had some number of upvotes

non-sweetened grapefruit sparking water is a good mixer for ryes and bourbons imo

I thought the North American Brita system is a different product sold under license by Clorox, I looked it up again now and it’s unclear, it might just be a different size/shape? I’ll take a look at where they’re made next time im out. Would be funny if I swore that I could taste a difference and they were the same all along

I’ve tried a few, Zerowater, Brita and the Mavea. I stuck with the Mavea system, apparently it’s the European Brita. The jug was an overpriced import from Amazon but the filters are available at Walmart and Canadian Tire, some coffee machines use them.

Personally I think it’s the best tasting of the three, and the zerowater takes FOREVER to filter

I once saw a city bus that had a whole bus-wide and bus-long dolly attached to the side of it full of movie cameras and studio lighting aimed into the bus windows, just driving down the public road taking up both Southbound lanes (4 lane road) with no police escort or anything.

If it wasn’t fair use I’m sure they would have gone after Kurzweil (popular assistive technology program designed explicitly for scanning books) a long time ago

There are portable washing machines that hook to a kitchen tap and drain to the sink, had one when renting a place with no laundry on-site and just hung dry everything. So much better than going to a laundromat weekly, and paid for itself too.

In Canada we already have Power Corporation (what a name), they’ve owned our Prime Ministers for decades

The price of rakes and yard vacuums would skyrocket. City parks would be fenced off and guarded by armed militia the way natural diamond deposits are. In cartoons, those giant paper yard waste bags would be the new sack with dollar sign printed on them. Everyone would suddenly hate the Toronto Maple Leafs (oh they already do? never mind that one)

Exactly this. It was a very boring job, pretty much just filling out a form for people who couldn’t /didn’t want to do it themselves online… not sure what about it was worth sharing to begin with, would have been terrible content lol

Someone at a no-paper, no-phones call centre I worked at had their buddy film them taking a call then they posted it to YouTube, both of them got fired when someone in management apparently saw it online.

I had no idea lemmy.today was that sparsely used. I appreciate their hands-off approach and the reliability is pretty solid. Just wanted to say I like what they’re doing here.

probably watch it on PBS Detroit and will be checking out the Daily Show live episode whenever it comes out on youtube.

I really enjoy the channel, watch them all even when they’re comparing things I have no need for whatsoever lol

Project Farm tested a bunch of them and used a decibel meter, results at 7:04-7:30

Right after the ‘…for dummies’ books became huge suddenly there were ‘complete idiot’s guides to…’ and all kinds of variations

If this post has traumatised anyone you should go home and start playing Tetris. It really works. Some study said if you play Tetris after trauma it changes your neural pathways so you’re less likely to get ptsd

I’m unclear what percentage is bots and what is oblivious people with nothing useful to add but a compulsion to contribute anyway.

I’m convinced (without evidence) that the bots who have wholesale taken over that aren’t just copying and pasting are LLMs instructed to respond “in the sarcastic tone of a redditor”.

With bots being the majority, any actual human who enters the conversation either emulates that style to fit in, or to seek the upvotes/approval of everyone else who gets it for responding in that way.

The LLMs then train off this new, more toxic engagement going forward, creating an Ouroboros-esque race to the bottom

I worked somewhere with legitimate Aerons once. Was the only office chair I’ve shared workspaced on that didn’t have either an odorous reek or armrests picked to bare foam.

Project Farm on YouTube often rates Ryobi, Husky, and Harbor Freight brands as being pretty good.
