Is this strictly Lemmy or does it include related platforms like PieFed and Mbin? Because it seems like there has been some shift to PieFed

In Scotland, although marriage was formed by simple consent and required no formalities or consummation, the bedding rituals were widespread but unstructured; a couple simply wanted someone to see them in bed together. A couple could also be pressured into marriage in this way: a person stumbling upon an unmarried couple in bed could pronounce them man and wife on the spot.

Wait, so the Thomas’s English Muffin was their invention?

I’m not sure it’s a mansion since it seems to have storefronts at street level. Maybe a boarding house or hotel?

All we have to do to stop her is put different shapes in the square hole

Where in North America are there no inspections? I can’t renew my registration without the car going through inspection and I assumed inspections were required everywhere.

The driver’s side lightbulb on my wife’s Kia Soul is largely blocked by internal components. I found some instructions explaining how to remove the front bumper for access. Fortunately some guy on YouTube made a video showing a better way. Need to make some marks on parts so you can line them up properly when putting it back but with some tight contortions it was possible and only took a couple minutes.

Mario Chase in Nintendoland was always a popular one when we had parties, and not something that could be easily recreated on other systems.

I’m cringing just reading this

For the last point, I think listing PieFed and Mbin apps (are there any?) would be a good thing. Maybe changing this community from strictly Lemmy to the larger fediverse?

1.4 change log: “A city is a beautiful, but insane machine that survives always in homeostasis and always in chaos. In 1.4 you get a little less narrative, a little more reality, the structures of everyday life exposed, greed companies, economy that doesn't forgive, even the broke. The night mode is a pleasant anesthesia; use it, but do not confuse ambience with robustness.”

Man, is there anything IKEA doesn’t sell?

Writing’s on the wall

That looks pretty deep!

300 km out of 24 kWh?

Press X to doubt.

Skimming through this lets a remote AI control my computer? No thanks!

It’s the kind of thing I was doing in the late ’90s with DHTML, copying random scripts off websites like Dynamic Drive

On June 4, 2003, a federal grand jury in Manhattan indicted Stewart and her former broker, Peter Bacanovic, on nine criminal counts. The government alleged that, by selling when she did, Stewart avoided losses of $45,673.

I remember the case but didn’t know the details. A $45k loss would be pretty devastating to me but I suspect with her net worth at the time that wouldn’t have been a very big deal. I worked a data entry job during college at a small local brokerage and remembered they were regularly discussing selling stocks at a loss for tax purposes with clients, and some of them would’ve been in that neighborhood.

Given everything this has cost her, it sounds like her broker should’ve just taken the loss and moved on.

I don’t know about any background services; it’s their cloud gaming service. It would be a benefit for the people who want to switch to Linux but have a game or two they want to play that can’t be run on Linux, because of things like kernel level anti-cheat or whatnot.

Yeah, most of the cost of the TV is the panel. If you’re buying a replacement panel the part would cost basically the same as a new TV (or maybe even more).

By contrast, my parents had a TV that started boot looping the morning after a thunderstorm and they’d had at least one lightning strike very close by. They got a local TV repairman out and he was able to get a replacement mainboard and the TV worked perfectly after that. I think the board was $100 or $150 and his time and labor was $100, coming to their house to do the work. If I remember correctly we could see scorch marks on the bad board near the Ethernet port.

Getting the new board was a bit of a hassle; that manufacturer didn’t sell parts directly and I think it took him 3 tries to get the right board. It seems like they have the same board in a lot of models but they flash them for different screens, so even though they were labeled as being for my parents’ TV it took a few tries to get the right one in. I feel like that’s a problem that would’ve been easier if the manufacturer supported repairs better.
