I'm going to see both films this weekend. Which should I watch first for the ultimate barbenheimer experience?

edit: The consensus is Oppenheimer. I'm off to see it this afternoon!

trademarks are good for 10 years and looking at some of twitters trademarks it seems the renewed them in 2019. So yes, in 2029, if X hasn't reverted to being called twitter then their trademarks will be unprotected.

Learning to drive. I've met a few people who didn't learn to drive until their late 20's or 30's and there always seems to be some awkwardness to their driving. On the opposite side, learning to drive at 16 seems to encourage reckless habits to form, people I've known who waited until 18 have much better driving habits on average.

Uh, the first one. It's all downhill after that. It's the only one he's ever pulled off. Look at the goals for the master plan part 2 and you'll see that they haven't managed to do a single one, but Elon still went ahead a published a part 3. Why actually meet goals when you can just pretend you've met them by posting new ones, I guess.

I have no idea what this field is for. I thought it might my like reddit flairs, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I don't think so? I'm struggling to think of how it would enhance human rights. Isn't it the same as regular marriage without the trip to the local court? I always thought other countries had it as a penalty so that couples couldn't use cohabitating but not getting married as a tax loophole.

Yep, though the single option is often written as single/never married so that it's more clear. We don't have common law marriages (except a few states) so those 4 categories cover every situation, though without much detail.

I'd like to encourage more upvoting and boosting too! I like leaving comments, but I know not everyone does. The points from upvoting themselves don't mean anything, but it lets me know if my post is appreciated or if someone else's post is worth reading past the headline.

A new car not having CarPlay isn't even something I thought I'd have to look out for, yikes. Every rental I've gotten over the past few years has had it, and it's such an upgrade from having to deal with the shitty built in systems.

Reading the article, they're also getting rid of Android Auto, so really this is just GM being too cheap for literally no reason. I used to think Ford was the company that wouldn't survive the transition to EV's. With GM doing stupid things like this and the electric F150 actually being good, it's looking more and more like GM is the one that's in trouble.

Thank you for explaining this, I've had federation turned off for a while now and have been wondering why so many things from Lemmy still pop up.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So much porn, regular porn, amateur porn, furry porn. I have 18+ turned off and some of it still slips through sometimes.

Hi, thank you for your contributions!

I find myself wondering how many people we need to have a self-sustaining community. I've been making and stockpiling memes and discussion ideas so I can post regularly, but ideally there'd be enough people so that my posts aren't the majority.

 
 

I'm American and in addition to our messed up healthcare system. Teeth are simultaneously so important that I have to see a specialist (dentist) for routine care, but so unimportant that it's not included in my healthcare coverage. Is it like that elsewhere?

 

For images that aren't rectangular, the update adds a softly blurred version of the image to the background. In general this looks great, I love it. However, for .png images with clear backgrounds this ruins the image. For example, here's a post I made a few days ago. Is there a way to toggle these soft backgrounds?

Otherwise I'm I'm absolutely digging this update. I immediately switched to Tokyo night, this theme is my jam.

 

A little ant was crawling on my trackpad and as I tried to get it off, it crawled inside :( It's one of those bluetooth trackpads that are separate from my laptop. Can this thing be opened without breaking it? I'm guessing no, but maybe someone here has some insight.
