Today, a bunch of people on my Mastodon feed are making declarations about somebody apparently flying a flag upside down, and this apparently has something to do with the New York Times being terrible....
c.f. surf music and spongebob's sound cues...
It seems to me these giant grants to a small number of organizations (Climate United Fund, Coalition for Green Capital, Power Forward Communities) seems like it could be delivering pork to well-connected people. Is this actually going to produce "clean" energy and help disadvantaged people? These seem like very large awards to...
I try to stream my favorite games, and I will get small audiences because I do events in the online games. But whenever I try to edit or listen back I feel like I'm in pain....
I don't understand how this works. How does delisting a game make or save money? It's already spent in the creation. Now sales don't cost anything. There's no goods to ship. Steam copies the files to you, WB doesn't do anything....
It used to be very convenient that when searching for something that had a geographic location, Google searches used to show a small map which linked to Google maps when pressed....
Another day, another threat of nuclear retaliation against the West by Putin....
I'd like to know other non-US citizen's opinions on your health care system are when you read a story like this. I know there are worse places in the world to receive health care, and better. What runs through your heads when you have a medical emergency?...
I feel like there are lots of parallels between the eighties and now (recession/inflation, yuppies/inequality, skin-heads/fascists, hot-cold wars etc.) but there used to be protest music! Where is that stuff now? Music that's intelligent and outraged - like we should be!...
I'm sure there's a valid reason, but I've got no idea what it is. Why "Kelvin?" Is that a reference to a character in the original Star Trek continuity?
When I poop, I'll take my hand and make a "knife hand" and massage the area above my hip and grab the side of my stomach while bending over to help the poop get out instead of straining. It's this weird?
I was watching a television show yesterday and the premise of the episode was that a terrorist group had broken into an old abandoned USPHS lab and stole samples of the original strain to use as a biological weapon. It got me thinking, is that particular version of the flu virus still particularly dangerous? I know H1N1 strains...
For example, if I (on kbin.run - which is Mbin, but for the purposes of this let's just assume it's Kbin) go to a random magazine on kbin.social, I will often see a prompt that the magazine may be incomplete and that I should visit the original instance for all the content....
This is the one thing keeping me from using Ecosia at this point. I use year filters a LOT as a programmer, and I really don't like how shady Brave generally is. However, even changing "freshness" to "year" in the URL just makes it get set to "any time", which is not ideal....
Why is a group of baby kittens called a “litter” and then the same word is flipped to denote the stuff they pee and poop in, throughout their lives if they live indoors? 🤔
That's what my brain wants to know....
I was thinking of making lemonade and was wondering if it would let CO2 into the atmosphere or not.
I'm currently working on learning r programming to use at work. Is there a good place whereI can ask for answers to the issues I'm running into that I cannot find by just searching online.
xkcd: Coordinate Precision but pi (π)?...
Maybe I need to be educated on the nuances but why would anyone believe what a spokesperson says about a company/product/service?...
I am trying to create a random question generator on perchance.org for practice in responding to french questions. I have a generator that selects questions from a list of questions (“outputa”) (perchance.org/4ewrtclbl5#edit)....
