Here in the US, I first learned about this from a Japanese exchange student. We quickly told him not to try it. Dude would have gotten his ass kicked by whomever he poked.
Of course Wikipedia has a helpful diagram for those who don’t know about Kanchō.
How large a flag are you flying? Simple window mount flag holders should work for flags up to about 18" x 12". For a bigger flag, if you have a trailer hitch installed you can get hitch mounted flag pole holders.
Nice flag, btw.
Delaware elected Sarah McBride, who is the first open transgender representative in Congress.
Georgia district attorney Fani Willis, who has been trying to prosecute Trump for trying to overturn the 2020 election, won reelection.
Washington Congressman Dan Newhouse, one of the ten Republicans who voted to impeach Trump (and one of two in that group who survived the subsequent midterm elections), successfully defended his seat again against a Trump-endorsed opponent. That’s at least one Republican in the House who doesn’t always rubber-stamp the party agenda.
The Associated Press seems to have a decent results presentation ready to go:

I wouldn’t bother watching minute-by-minute. There is a decent chance that some swing state will be close enough to trigger a recount, and/or one side files lawsuits challenging the results. This circus is far from over.
I’m considering getting some cheap USB-powered lights on eBay to wrap my frame for Christmas and New Year’s. I’ll run them off of a phone power bank. Will definitely post pictures if I do it.
Something like this:
A couple of months ago I wrote a single comment
The modlog shows you were having quite a spat with some mods 5 months ago.
Nothing else
Again, the modlog shows otherwise.

Why bring this up now, five months later?
Making quiche for brunch. Apparently an omelet is fine, but a scrambled omelette is gay.
“What is Beehaw”: https://docs.beehaw.org/docs/core-principles/what-is-beehaw/
TL;DR: Beehaw.org is intentionally curated and moderated to try and maintain a “nice” environment free of aggression and trolling.
The influx of Reddit refugees last year was a bit of a shock to their system. The Beehaw admins have floated the idea of leaving Lemmy entirely.
It’s a cropped frame from this video, right around the 1:31 timestamp. Here’s a screenshot I took on mobile. Not the best quality, but if you have urgent memes to make it’ll do.
Oof, I never knew that.
He deserved better than for Street Fighter to be his last movie.
B-b-but he said he spared no expense!
There are definitely fewer women In the military in general. And many fewer women pursuing certain positions, like Rangers or SEALs.
The institutions moved slowly, too. Some groups within the military were hesitant to open up fully to women. And there are the usual systemic hurdles, like physical fitness tests that favored male physiques, which put women at a disadvantage until they were changed.
I think women’s participation in the military will mirror what we have seen in women’s athletics: as it becomes more common we will see closer parity between women and men. I also suspect the services will find that women tend to perform certain skills better than men.
Ooo, this looks cool. So it’s a self-hosted file management tool that lets you follow other users and share files with them?
If I remember correctly, the US started rolling back restrictions in 2013. Progress has definitely been slow, and we aren’t where we should be yet, but things are moving in the right direction.
NiteRider has a K-Edge adapter for their Lumina lights:

They’re a US company but have distributors in Europe.
The Luminas are a more serious headlight than you are looking for. They’re great, though. Mine lights up the road on the darkest nights.
