Yeah, that’s where it would go. Thank you.

I didn’t have emphasis in mind. I was just trying to make it so the two words were distinct from each other.

My first thought was OmniOutliner. Not cheap, but it’s best in class for sure.

For cheaper/free alternatives, go to alternativeto.net and make sure to use the filters (OS, open source, etc.)

They're not not trying to kill children. Which is pretty close to trying to kill children. Not exactly the same. But close enough.

According to Mothersbaugh, he stumbled upon the colossal ruby when he was hanging out with a gemologist friend who “had this story about a gem mine where somebody was just in a hurry to get rid of a bunch of stuff, and he happened to be at the right place at the right time and he bought it for a ridiculously low price.” The two discussed how the types of people who usually buy these absurdly large gems have often acquired their money by rather sinister means—they are members of drug cartels, Russian oil executives, mobsters. Mothersbaugh decided that he’d like to carve the ruby. Specifically, he’d like to carve the ruby into the shape of a turd… “So whoever owns the world’s largest ruby, [has] to buy a turd to get it.” To disguise the turd as a scoop of ice cream, Mothersbaugh placed the ruby into a beautiful, highly polished bronze cone. Only the title alludes to the less-than-savory subject Mothersbaugh chose to depict (“kus-TURD”).

It’s especially nice to use either of these on Linux because you can use symlinks to have the server think the audio files are in more than one place without using any extra storage space.

frisk • The act of frisking, of searching for something by feeling someone's body. 

The customs officer gave me a frisk after I went through the metal detector.

If they’d found anything before his shenanigans, this story about Mr. Friske could have been posted here: https://feddit.uk/c/nominativedeterminism

Simmons, a queer Black woman and labor organizer from Houston, watched her Democratic state representative break with her party and vote in favor of three Republican-led bills limiting rights for transgender teens and children. All of them became law.

Yes, but it’s a regular expression.

I have two complaints about Firefox Focus on iOS:

First, when typing into the address bar, you must finish and tap “search” or “go” or else all you typed will go away if you switch to another app and back again. Firefox Focus shouldn’t forget what you’re doing unless you hit the garbage can icon or force close the app.

Second, if you’re typing, and you tap anywhere I’ve marked in red in the screenshot, it erases the search/url text you’ve typed, and you have to start over. It didn’t used to do this when Firefox Focus first came out. It would be fine to put a garbage can icon somewhere in that area, but the area now that deletes what you’re typing is bigger than the keyboard, and I’ve mis-tapped there way too many times.

“We get it, we don’t like spiders either, but it’s never a good idea to use a blow torch or any other flammable device for pest control,” firefighters said in a social media post.

I peeled it off, and there is no reside on the item, nor did was there any damage to the label.

I had to stick it back down on each side to get the photo, but it pealed right back off in perfect condition again.

If this can be done, why aren’t all labels like this?

We don't mind
See we've been doin' it all the time
But if you want us to you sacrifice
You will not get it without a price
We don't mind
See we've been doin' it all the time
But if you want us to you sacrifice
You gotta give something back to life

You think I'm vulnerable to your pressure tactics
Because I shed a tear, 'cause I shed a tear
You think I'm vulnerable to your violence
Just 'cause I'm sittin' here
But my babies came into this world
Without a single fear, say they has no fear
'cause the seven generations before me
They all fought to get us here

You can't just come in here like that no more
And snatch up our childhood
You just can't walk on up
And replace it yo, with your Hollywood
But I see now
How all of the words I say you'll take and misconstrue
And I'm prepared now
To suffer the penalties for speakin' the truth
And I speak the truth when I say

People if you hear me now I wantcha to say
Naa, na-naa, na-naa, nah
People if you hear me now I wantcha to say
Naa, na-naa, na-naa, nah

In Europe and America
There's a growing feeling of hysteria
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets

Mr. Khrushchev said, “We will bury you”
I don't subscribe to this point of view
It would be such an ignorant thing to do
If the Russians love their children too

How can I save my little boy
From Oppenheimer's deadly toy?
There is no monopoly in common sense
On either side of the political fence

We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too

There is no historical precedent
To put the words in the mouth of the President
There's no such thing as a winnable war
It's a lie we don't believe anymore

Mr. Reagan says, “We will protect you”
I don't subscribe to this point of view
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too

We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
What might save us, me and you
Is if the Russians love their children too

When I copy the URL for an instance to paste it, it includes the protocol. But Voyager says it’s not a valid instance. Take off the https:// and it works fine. Seems like Voyager should handle this better.
