Safety directive for bike use [requiring chain guards] in WA schools throws education programs into turmoil in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I hear a lot of stupid people crying... Why don't schools have bikes without chain guards? The two accidents mentioned in the article probably cost more that buying chain guards for all the bikes in the country.

How to engineer microbes to enable us to live on Mars. in c/[email protected]

I agree. It makes much more sense to colonize the Moon first. The challenges are almost the same: A lot of radiation and an environment that is hostile to (human) life. Whatever we develop to live there will also enable us to live on Mars but it's much more convenient and cheaper to start on the Moon.

Also: When we get the ability to terraform Mars we can use that to terraform Earth too!

Also habe ich mich nicht getäuscht. Ich war der Meinung, dass es für diese Jahreszeit bisher irgendwie wenig Regen gab.

A wheellock mechanism is a wheel that creates a spark to ignite the gunpowder.
You can see the wheel on the right side of the weapon just below the dog (the arm that holds the pyrite). You wind it up and upon release it moves the dog to create a spark.

It has nothing to do with the rotating cylinder of a revolver.

Why dating is hard in c/[email protected]

I'm also 40-something and I see all that stuff around me. It's hard not to notice. All the (6) colleagues in my office room are divorced and in most cases the (ex-)wife is the reason. And when I see the other women... there aren't a lot of good choices.

Some guys would do that because they know they won't have a chance to get a 'better' woman.

The problem is women and men are different and they treat each other differently.

No man would would push down a young beautiful woman from the edge of a bed. Women notice that and are flattered that they are wanted so much. Honestly women only need not to be obese and the guys will line up. But that's only true for young woman. After 30-35-year-old most women beauty diminish rapidly.
Men on the other hand age visibly slowly. A lot of women still judge them handsome when the guys are already 40 or 50 years old. (There are of course ugly 40 and 50 years old.) But young men are more often only playthings and only the 6-6-6 ones have a good shot a being choosy.

Did the Romans have doors? Or did they use curtains or something similar? What was more common?

I see several curtains in the picture but I'm not sure if there's a door somewhere.

Which is true. But! Men <30 years old usually are more tolerant in what they accept. They'll take almost any woman 18-30 years, low or high income, fat or skinny, beautiful or ugly, etc.

Women below 30 years age on the other hand often are fixated on 6-6-6 rule (6+ foot height, 6 digits income, 6 pack) which are like the top 1% of the male population. Once they are older and want to 'settle down' they won't get any of these top guys because these guys can cherrypick their women. And then the women are disappointed by the 'left-overs'. I'm not an incel but I can understand why it (sometimes? often?) happens this way.

How to solve this? No idea.

Is there a (non-medical) word for the border/skin fold between butt and thigh?

Recommendations for European tea? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

All the supermarkets seems to sell the same brands and I have no idea if any of them are mostly processed in Europe or elsewhere in the world.

Do you have recommendations? I like the ones with a fruity taste more.

This one is my current favorite:

What host names do you use? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

Hi fellow selfhosters!

What hostnames do you use for your systems and services?
And maybe why if it's an interesting story.

I'll start:
Steam Deck: krax
Smartphone: krix (once I get LineageOS installed again)
MiniPC: krux
Reserved for future use: krex & krox

Creative, I know. 😅 The names have no deeper meaning. The x comes from Linux. That's it.

I know some of you use god names of certain pantheons, such as Thor. But I find that boring as a lot of people are doing that.  
 
 

Now let your pants down and tell me all about

your embarrassing host names!

MMO mouse for linux? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hi!

I'm looking for an inexpensive MMO mouse (that's a mouse with way more that five buttons) that's fully supported by Linux.

That also means there's some kind of tool that lets me configure what all the extra buttons do.
For example I want to map Ctrl+C & Ctrl+V and virtual desktop switching to the mouse buttons.

But honestly it's difficult to find any such mouse.
I stumbled upon this link and there are several mouses listed. The first place isn't on sale anymore. It was also way to expensive. The second place has this rubber coating that dissolves in disgusting black paint after a year or two. The article also mentioned 8 programmable buttons but the mouse only has 6 and 7 button variants. The third one doesn't have enough buttons. And so on.

Is there a site/place where I can search and compare mouses with lots of buttons that has a configuration/mapping tool running on Linux?

I first thought to reach out to a mouse/periphery/hardware community but chose not to do it. Most people do not use Linux so answers from them won't be as helpful as yours.

Thank you for your time!

Why aren't all rooms holodecks? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

It just popped up in my mind.

  • You could decorate any room as you like. You don't even need to step out of it most of the times.
  • Other people can be projected inside it like Voyager's doctor.
  • Also rooms could be much smaller. They only need to be big enough a human(oid) can fit inside.
  • In emergency cases most holograms can be shut off to match increased energy demands by weapons and shields. You only really need seating/bed and a (non-exploding) console screen.
  • Much of the specialized rooms like a bar, med bay, etc. won't be needed anymore as a holodeck can imitate all of them.

It irritated me a bit that a Discovery gets fancy floating warp nacelles but holodecks are... wait, does Discovery has a holodeck? I don't remember seeing one.

Mindestanforderungen für Posts? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

Moin zusammen,

ich bin mehrfach über Posts gestoßen, die eigentlich nur aus einem Link und gelegentlich einem Vorschaubild bestehen.
Ich verlinke so was mal nicht; ich denke, jeder stolpert des öfteren selber darüber.

Ich persönlich finde das ziemlich dünn. Ist Lemmy nicht dafür gedacht, einen Ort für Diskussionen/Austausch zu haben? Einfach nur einen Link zu posten, halte ich ich für nicht ausreichend, um eine Diskussion zu starten.

Ich schlage daher vor, dass jeder Post wenigstens drei Stichpunkte oder drei Sätzen beinhalten muss.
Natürlich kann diese Regel nicht für jede Community gelten. Es gibt ja bspw. Coms., wo nur Bilder gepostet werden, da will kaum einer was schreiben.
Vielleicht ergibt so eine Regel auch wirklich nur für Posts Sinn, die "nur" auf eine Webseite verweisen.

Ich finde es halt nur nicht gut, wenn einfach nur ein Link hingeklatscht wird und es dann: "Sieh zu," heißt.

Wie seht ihr das?

Grüße!

Wo kann man über Regeln in dieser Instanz diskutieren? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

Moin,

mir ging es eben auf den Keks, dass ich viele Posts finde, die im Prinzip nur aus einem Link und manchmal einem (nichtssagenden) Bild bestehen und wollte das mal ansprechen.

Aber nach einer Viertelstunde habe ich immer noch nicht eine Community gefunden, wo man genau das diskutieren kann. Auch in den Regeln in der Sidebar ist nichts in der Hinsicht zu finden.

Deswegen hier von mir ein großes Hmpf!

Knapp daneben ist trotzdem vorbei (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

Bin ich froh, dass diese Partei es nicht in den Bundestag geschafft hat. Die Frau ist mir so was von unsympathisch und wer zum Geier meinte, dass es eine gute Idee ist, eine Partei um eine einzelne Person aufzubauen? Was, wenn die Wagenknecht mal weg ist bzw. sich absolut unbeliebt gemacht hat? Dann ist die ganze Partei zum Scheitern verurteilt.

Hat sie denn was gesagt, wie es weitergehen soll? Bleibt die BSW bestehen oder ist nach diesem Intermezzo wieder Schluss?

Clothes made in Germany (www.trigema.de)
 
  • 100% made in Germany
  • uses yarn from Germany and Europe
  • uses cotton from Germany, Austria and a certified family business in Turkey
  • environment-friendly and sustainable production
  • you can book a factory tour to see for yourself how they produce their stuff
  • their products are not that much more expensive because they last much longer

I (only) have one shirt by them. I was a test buy and it worked out. After several washes that shirt is still in good shape. The shirts from the far east would be too damaged to wear by now.

Kettenöl (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

Moin zusammen,

seit einigen Monaten verwende ich statt mineralischem Kettenöl ein biologisch abbaubares. Der Gedanke dahinter war, dass ich dadurch den Dreck bei der Kettenreinigung einfach in den Ausguss kippen kann, ohne die Umwelt zu vergiften.

Mir sind zwei Dinge aufgefallen:

  • Das Zeug klebt mehr als normales Kettenöl. Das heißt aber auch, Dreck klebt besser an der Kette.
  • Wenn man ein paar Tage nicht gefahren ist, dann erscheint es mir, dass die Kette nicht ganz so flutscht. Eventuell hängt das mit der Klebestärke zusammen.

Aktuell reinige ich grob und öle alle 150 - 200 km oder nach starkem Regen. Scheint auszureichen, ich sehe nach einem Jahr immer noch keinen Rost.

Wie sehen eure Erfahrungen damit aus? Habt ihr das schon mal ausprobiert?

Suggestions for books about mages? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hi!

I'm looking for books about mages, wizards and witches in which the magic itself is a central part of the story and not just there so the MC can slam a fireball into the face of his foes.
Maybe the magic has a will of its own or the MC is trying to 'restore' it from some kind of 'disease' or something else.

Some or all posts are invisile in certain frontends (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

I don't know whats going on. This post currently has 44 comments.

I would like to to continue using the default web ui (the first one). I like it the most. But it's the one that somehow doesn't loading everything and I don't know why.

Is there a bug?
