Keep your eyes peeled

Fun horseshoe crab fact: horseshoe crabs have like five different types of eyes. Even that tail is basically one big eye, covered in photoreceptive cells. Those fuckers are really good at crawling around in the mud.

If the bot doesn’t go away, I’ll write one that counter spams with how much of a piece of shit MBCF website is. The difference is that I will run it off my own instance where you’ll have to defederate to get me to stop. And even then, a simple hostname change and a re-spin of the docker composer will create me a brand new instance. ActivityPub has no defense against this, and as far as I know nothing in the pipeline to combat bad instance admins.

So challenge accepted, I guess…

smeg , to casualuk in As an ex Redditor..

If you haven’t done so already, have a 2 minute read up on how federation and the fediverse works. It sounds a bit complex to start with but it’s basically just a bunch of servers that all talk to each other (like how if you’re on gmail you can send an email to someone on outlook even though it’s a different server).

As for feddit.uk, I think it’s generally got a pretty good Casual UK sort of feel. You’ll find that some instances take things very seriously or have power-tripping mods, this one seems to generally be pretty chill!

The main different compared to reddit is that it’s much smaller here. Don’t expect an active community for every niche interest, and don’t expect thousands of new posts every day. Due to how federation works you might need to use external tools to find stuff, for instance lemmyverse search to find few communities.

Ultimately it is what you make of it. Find the stuff you like, ignore the stuff you don’t, and post the stuff you want to see more of!

So you think I have a gambling problem?

I’ll bet you $100 that I don’t!

Hope she gets one of those cheese wheels dropped on her head. Go Vegan !

Those things are 90 pounds, so you want this woman to be killed for posing with cheese? Get help

Ookami38 ,

Well yeah. She’s daring to consume something from an animal. That’s definitely one of the worst things a human can do. /s

This meme is funny but they are pretty similar. The only “gear” Yejin is wearing is the shooting glasses, which is basically a prescription lens (no magnification is allowed) on a frame that allows more adjustment than normal eyeglasses, with a piece of plastic instead of lens over the other eye. You can achieve something very similar by taping a piece of paper to the left lens of your own glasses.

No other gear is allowed in this event - shoes cannot go above the ankle, clothing cannot restrict movement. Most people wear some sort of flat-soled shoes, whatever clothing you wear literally doesn’t matter except to keep you warm/cool.

And before anyone mentions it, putting their hand in the pocket is the standard stance for air pistol shooting. Only one hand is allowed on the gun. And in a sport where your breathing and heart rate interferes with your accuracy, having one hand free means it might move around and cause micro movements to your body, so everyone puts their other hand in their jacket/pants pocket.

It does look badass though.

Source: I used to compete in ISSF 10m and 25m air pistol events like these (this is 10m)

Interesting!

Oh yeah, just act like the stuffed elephant tied to her finger isn’t an advantage…

Illegal counterbalance.

What would a person do who needs prescription glasses? Put me there with ±0 glasses, and I’d be just a threat to the environment, because I had a hard time to know where I’m roughly pointing that thing…

@NickwithaC@lemmy.world avatar

Fellow g84 user here. I love that Motorola’s new thing is “here’s some hardware. It runs stock android because you don’t care and neither do we. We haven’t put a fucking golf mode in the camera or reinvented the browser, file manager, app store, or any of that other stuff Samsung did, and therefore we don’t charge you £1000 for the privilege.”

Deconceptualist ,

Those are some positive changes.

Is the battery easily replaceable? Have they stopped making it a pain in the ass to unlock the bootloader? Those are the things that matter for longevity of a device.

rutrum , to coffee in What less common coffee drinks do you make?
@rutrum@lm.paradisus.day avatar

Inpsired by the mixed ice drinks at the chain “the coffee bean and tea leaf” (I only see it when traveling, not native to hometown) I just make coffee and chai tea, mix it together with butter (hot). Their iced drinks are amazing, and besides the large amount of sugar, Im certain its the mix of coffe and tea.
