They’re huge. I got a Luna moth tangled in my hair while pitching a night softball game as a teenager. Had to call a time out to get it untangled, lol.

TIL Owl City is from Owatonna

Assuming you’re thinking of the Mars Climate Orbiter, it crashed into Mars.

Of course it’s possible there’s been more than one metric/imperial issue.

There were still a whole bunch of people who showed up, at least some of the politicians who were supposed to speak at the capitol understandably cancelled though.

I’ve thought about asking the folks at the local Free Geek about getting a laptop or two like this that I can mess around with. I had an old HP Stream 11 and I’m still disappointed that it died.

JUNE 13TH WOO! 🎂

I lived in that county for a bit, you forgot all of the poor conservatives that live in the swamps there too.

Eh, Windows has broken grub before even if it’s on a separate drive, some Windows update did that last year.

The last final fantasy I played was XII, are any of the ones after that worth playing?

I think you’re right about creating demand for more consumer like support, someone in in another comment chain on this post mentioned several Danish municipalities doing something similar with their schools…

Is there a relevant cert to do this kind of work yet? I think it would be interesting to do Linux tech support. Maybe just find a junk laptop and work my way through the Arch wiki breaking and fixing stuff (since my main Linux distro has been incredibly hands off so far)?

That craigslist listing was updated 6 hours ago, now it says

compensation: Flat Fee of $1,000, paid in cryptocurrency - Provided by FIGHT FITE FIGHT LLC

Yeah I think it’s satire and they changed the name of the LLC so they’re not impersonating the real grifters. (Fight Fight Fight LLC is, according to another comment, the actual name of the group behind the Trump coin.)

I’d be impressed. Pumpkins are kinda heavy.

Off topic vegan rant on a community that doesn’t really remove posts? Bonus points for “carnist”.

Crazy frog just has his tiny dong hanging out and nobody has ever questioned if it’s safe for work or whatever, lol.

I’m not sure this is the right community for this rant, lol.

I’m a vegetarian who usually only eats Subway if I’m in bumfuck Egypt and there’s no better option, because their salad on bread isn’t any worse than their other options. Even if Subway did start carrying tofurky slices (the smoked tofurky slices are fantastic imo) I probably still wouldn’t eat there regularly because Subway just isn’t good anymore.

McDonald’s has the McPlant in some markets but not mine, and economically it’s their loss - whenever someone in my friend group wants fast food burgers we end up at Burger King because it hits the same cravings and BK has something I can eat.

If it gets certain folks to wear deodorant it’s probably worth the extra e-waste tbh

Piefed has community migration tools that Lemmy lacks, by moving to piefed communities got to keep old posts they otherwise wouldn’t have.

Maybe Shaun, the leftist skull on YouTube? I don’t recognize the quote but it seems like something he’d say and based on Lemmy’s politics I’d bet he’s popular here.

Ubuntu is the miracle whip of distros.
