I'd like to know why the fuck Americans are traveling to Paris to go to Disneyland. We have two perfectly good Disney theme parks in the US. Why not go to France and enjoy French things??

Edit: OP is an idiot. Another commenter determined that less than 10% of visitors to Disneyland France are American.

Love the double standard. When you do this as a passenger to get a cheaper fare the airliner will ban you for life.

Cause a lot of indie devs are also idiots when it comes to business decisions. Many (especially solo devs) didn't get into the industry to make boatloads of money; they are often creative types who are passionate about their work.

This all just makes him seem naive and unprepared for the position he was in.

Apart from the aspartame, that's also like 900mg of caffeine a day, which is over twice the recommended amount, and 700mg of sodium.

One of the remaining 3rd party Reddit apps (Relay) has begun discussing what it would be charging for subscription fees. Imo, they actually seem somewhat reasonable. The weird thing is that every upvote or downvote is an API call so you can rack up a huge number of API calls from voting.

Also, while the costs might be reasonable now, there's nothing preventing Reddit from jacking up prices again.

Edit: Also, there wouldn't be any NSFW content with the app.

Didn't even need to click to know it was NH. They recently tweeted out the 14 words only changing "white" to "Libertarian." NH Libertarian party are unabashedly Nazis.

As I understand it, superconductors work best at temperatures approaching absolute zero (-273.15C). For example, Google tells me that the superconductor in an MRI operates at -269C.

There has been a lot a buzz lately about room temperature (25C) superconductors being discovered, but why is room temperature the focus? Why not focus on superconductors that work in reasonably cold environments? For example, we can easily get temperatures to -15C in a freezer. Why not create superconductors that work in that temperature range rather than 25C?

Just tell me what I owe or what my refund is (or since I use a standard deduction, just take out the right amount to begin with) and allow me to contest it if I disagree.

I bet a large number of the negative comments only checked out Lemmy the weeks of the protests. I think their critiques are very accurate for that time period. But I think Lemmy now is a lot better than a month ago and a viable alternative to Reddit.

I'm having trouble conceptualizing what this would look like. Is it a giant monitor that can also be a laptop? Aren't all laptops/notebooks by definition foldable anyway?

I was just at an airport that was doing this. I entered my ID into a slot and they scanned my face. There was a sign that said that the face scan would be immediately deleted, but I don't believe it. I didn't really want to be face scanned but I also didn't want to make a scene.

Also how do they find the poop so quickly. My dog poops and in the 5 seconds I go to pick it up there's like 7 flies on it.

They are pretty cringe but I did get a chuckle out of them.

These are pretty cringe but they did make me chuckle a little. Very reminiscent of the I'm a Mac, I'm a PC ads.

Was curious to know if that was an option on Lemmy. Although, in some regards, it is kind of nice not knowing what team someone supports.

DNA tests has her at 25% Corgi, 50% Border Collie, 7% Chihuahua, and then a mix of a bunch of Terriers for the rest. She mostly looks like a mini Border Collie but I feel like her personality is very Corgi.
