NFIP insurance is pretty limited, I think $250k structure and $100k contents. It also doesn't cover things like additional living expenses, which would include a hotel while you're displaced. It's also often your only choice, though. It's something that every home owner needs to consider for themselves based on the flood risk of their area.

The article says they're "hair sheep" which shed and are often raised for their meat.

That was already done over fifty years ago through the national flood insurance program, NFIP.

PSA: If you are in a flood prone area, your lender may require you to purchase flood insurance. But did you know that some communities will argue against changes to the flood maps that would show them as being in a flood prone area? This means you may be at a higher risk for flooding than the federal maps would suggest. You can still buy flood insurance through the NFIP, though.

Here's a "myths and facts about flood insurance" page from FEMA: https://www.fema.gov/press-release/20230425/fact-sheet-myths-and-facts-about-flood-insurance

I use the Fox Replace extension to replace all instances of slam with criticize. It's great.

Isn't paraphrasing/summarizing the top result a pretty good use case for LLMs? If I search "what temperature should I bake cupcakes at?" I really just want a simple answer, not dozens of links to life story style recipe blogs.

DDG didn't provide a summary, but Google did (and it was very long). I assumed the answer was 350F, but the summary suggested 325-375. Lower for flatter cupcakes, higher for more domed. Interesting.

This type of summary wouldn't be nearly as helpful for a technical programming question, but I doubt that describes the bulk of search queries.

The fact that users wanting a "feature complete" product at launch is seemingly news to them is absurd.

Astrologers fucking off would be a big enough positive to justify the profanity.

The weird grammar and punctuation is usually part of the shtick.

this day was especially bad and I desperately need the crutch, or especially nice and I feel like I wanna celebrate it somehow

This is food for so many families. Having a bad day? Let's go get some dessert to make you feel better. A good day? Let's celebrate with a big meal.

You could shut down locations entirely and use the rent savings to fund retraining programs for the affected staff and still come out ahead.

But look, he paints! Just like Bob Ross, so that means we can just forget about all that other stuff, right?

The main difference between the two to me is that the 9 pro is no longer larger than the regular version. Instead there's now a 9 pro XL. Now you can have the better camera without trying to fit a mini tablet in your pocket. If you're staying with the non pro version, most of the recent pixel models are very similar.

 

I browse lemmy primarily through the local feed and mute communities I'm not particularly interested in. When a different community posts a link to a muted community, the post opens without showing any comments.

Example: I have muted the no stupid questions community. Someone posts a link to a post in that community to best of. That post opens fine and shows the correct number of comments, but no comments are visible.

 

This game is absolutely worth its full price of $40. The gameplay is very linear, but in a way that I quite enjoyed. The sequel, A Plague Tale: Requiem, is equally amazing. Easily two of my favorite games of all time.

 

When scrolling through a text post, the size and progress rate of the scroll bar varies dramatically depending on the length of the current comment. In the example below, the post body is very long, resulting in a tiny scroll bar with slow progress. Once you're down into the comments, the scroll bar is much larger and progresses faster.

Example: https://lemmy.world/post/6618261

 

I would like to filter comments based on keywords similar to how the post keyword filter works.

 

I would like to be able to block links from certain domains. For example, mute all posts leading to instagram.

 

Example: I would like to be able to filter out all communities that start with the word "shitty" by having a community filter for "shitty*".
