Well of course they would. It's just unusual that the victims weren't local.

No it wasn't one of those, though I have gotten a surprise from them a few times.

This was a small wall mounted unit with a thermoblock heater. There was no ground of course.

Yes, this happens with some regularity. Usually during wedding season (dry season) and at large funerals. The reason it's in the news is what you said.

Search any of the local news sites for 'alcohol poisoning' in Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, and you will have a lot of results.

Stop being mealy mouthed cunts and hold them responsible.

Some 230 aid workers have been killed in occupied Palestinian areas, the database showed Friday. It did not break out whether that was Gaza or the West Bank.

Oh, but...

Laerke said the threats to aid workers “extend beyond Gaza, with high levels of violence, kidnappings injuries, harassment and arbitrary detention” reported in Afghanistan, Congo, South Sudan, Sudan, Ukraine, Yemen and elsewhere.

Of the 281 killed 230 were in Palestinian areas. The Israeli government is targeting aid workers. That is not opinion, it is fact.

Don't choose Filen (number 2 in the link), they added Matomo analytics without putting it isn't their changelog, then moved to firebaseinstallations(.)googleapis(.)com with no announcement.

They are FOSS, but with Google shitware.

I know I shouldn't be surprised, maybe I'm not, but I find it very strange that my opsec is better than people that actually need opsec.

I always think about when Facebook allowed targeting of the us military in Afghanistan.

In 2007 four US Army helicopters were destroyed in Iraq after geotagged photos were posted on the internet.

Or Strava exposes secret bases

In a series of images, Ruser pointed out Strava user activities potentially related to US military forward operating bases in Afghanistan, Turkish military patrols in Syria, and a possible guard patrol in the Russian operating area of Syria.

I'm just a rando on the internet who wants to stay off corporate databases as much as possible. Why is this kind of shit obvious to me but not to people whose lives may depend on it?

Honestly I thought about it and I'm not sure what the intention was. It could have been mounted on the other side of the wall (outside the bathroom) just as easily.

I'll have to dig it up but I have a photo of the old electric meter from the same place. It was buzzing quite loudly, then it melted. It would have been marginal when installed and was connected to only lights and ceiling fans, then they did a reno and added aircon and water heaters.

The wood bullet into the tile grout was a nice touch I thought.

This is a 20 amp circuit breaker, not only is it unprotected, when it failed someone bypassed it instead of replacing it with something correct. If you took a shower in the morning and water splashed on these open contacts you wouldn't need coffee to get your heart started.

The first hit with Searx for 'lemmy' is https://join-lemmy.org , so far so good. Then you have two buttons 'Join a Server' 'See All Servers'.

I'm new, dafuq is a server? And why would I want to join one? I just want to Lemmy.

Why are there two options? Couldn't I have all the options together? Are some servers better than others? Why do I want a server, I still don't know what it is. Why don't these people talk to these people? Do I want to talk to them? Yes/no/why.

The onboarding is still very confusing. I am OK with Lemmy at its current size, many want to see substantial growth (I'm OK with that too). For that to happen I think the documentation needs to be easier to follow. Lay out how and why things work in an easily parsed way.

Things have settled quite a bit since the Reddit API fiasco but it is still a bit of a clusterfuck. I'm posting from my very stable main, but my first 3 accounts are lost to the ether. .fmhy, latte.is.not.coffee, and I can't remember the third.

Sorry to jump on your post, I just did so because I agree, and for visibility. I promise to eat off a Trencher for dinner as way of apology.

Rum ration - Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org)
 

The rum ration (also called the tot) was a daily amount of rum given to sailors on Royal Navy ships. It was abolished in 1970 after concerns that the intake of strong alcohol would lead to unsteady hands when working machinery.

 

Robert Wallace, a former director of the Office of Technical Service, who said that the project was abandoned due to the difficulty of training the cat to behave as required

What is this, and why are there so many requests to it?

I have searched and those lead to mostly stack overflow questions for developers, not users.

I block all google and googleapi requests, this seems to slow the app down.

Making your bed is a waste of time (self.unpopularopinion)
submitted 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) by Cheradenine to c/[email protected]
 

The only time I make my bed is when I change the sheets. That's once a week, and I only make it then because my mother instilled it in me.

Not making it everyday saves time but more importantly airs everything out and deprives bacteria of moisture. That, makes it less stinky and lets my bedding last longer.

I sleep hot, it doesn't matter what the ambient temperature is. Vermont in winter? Heating is off in my bedroom, and I have a leg out.

Edit: seems like this isn't unpopular. It was a random thought that popped in my head. Everyone I have explained this to thinks it's weird.

I understand the tidy thing, everything else in my bedroom is quite tidy, my life really, with the notable exception of my thought processes.

I use Orbot, and every browser I have tried, Firefox and forks, Chromium, Webviews, these links give me a captcha that cannot be completed.

Does anyone else have this issue?
