  Why not use the shims designed for this instead of the tip of a screwdriver?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where have you been?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  TIL I'd like the mountains.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Simples.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Nothing. But there are cases of men with XX, women with XY and some others like XXY or X0.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anatomy Pickup Lines⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It looks like they have strong hands. Based on this joke I think.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Crow chasing a coyote out of his neighborhood⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Crows are some really ballsy animals. I saw one do a feint attack in the air on a falcon the other day, presumably so that if the falcon was carrying prey it might drop it.

  On the other hand, we used to have a chicken that was so food driven, it succesfully attacked a crow who was trying to steal his food. So that one might have been less smart. I'm sure however it remembered that particular chicken.

  They do though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some of y'all need this⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I've been around for 48 years, and while I have fucked around quite a bit, I have found out very little. One of my clowns isn't doing the job right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Growing Old⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Fun fact about being 48; I'm turning 50 next year, which sounds a lot. But I only feel old-ish when mentioning my age.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Growing Old⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  A heart attack where you have almost zero loss of heart funtion afterwards. Also, no loss of consciousness, just feeling really bad for an hour.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Growing Old⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  48 here. Had a minor heart attack earlier this year, so sometimes I'm starting to feel old.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's basically the same as grad school⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You should add Uri Tuchmann to your list if you haven't already.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yes please⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You could make sauerkraut with the rest?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I worked shifts as an operator in a chemical plant. Took the opportunity to work days about 15 years ago (was about 35 years old then), never had a problem with it. I didn't make any less money because of it, because the 9-5 job was a somewhat promotion. Pro's were for me being all weekends off, like all the people I know. cons were less off time between.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SPLORP!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I don't think it's Giant Salvinia, looks more like a floating mat to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Private Equity Firm Bought My Employer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I meant debt indeed. And as long as the company survives, nobody is going to investigate where the cash is flowing. If it does go bankrupt, someone might. The question is, who is going to pay for the investigation to prove the wrong doing?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How are Book Bans Constitutional?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  In the Netherlands, only one book I know of used to be banned (maybe it still is). The publishing rights of the work in question were claimed by the state in this instance, and they refused to allow publication of the book. The book in question was the Dutch translation of Hitlers "Mein Kampf".

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Private Equity Firm Bought My Employer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You forgot that besides the patents sell-off, they'll sell just anything the company owns to another company owned by them, just to lease everything back so the company can accumulate dept. In the same trend work gets sent to sub-contractors owned by them, and consultants get hired to make sure the value of the company rises because they invest in getting better at whatever.

  Also, If most off these things don't happen at your company, then all value is allready extracted and only the depts will pile up until bankruptcy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We constantly have spit in our mouth 100% of the time but if we were made to drink any amount of our spit it'd be disgusting. Why?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I get that the OP asked a question, but did you have to answer it with this level of detail?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  In fact, most scientists throughout history were Christians sponsored by the Catholic Church.

  Which is why the dark ages is where all the science happened in Europe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every damn day⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I can, and I do most years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every damn day⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Workers who receive 11 to 15 days of PTO each year are more likely to use up their days, Rodney says, but there's a significant drop-off once people get 16 or more days.

  And here I am, thinking my 30 days are too little.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK petition of "Require videogame publishers to keep games they have sold in a working state" just got thrown back to the Government⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Who says the companies need to keep the servers running? The petition is "to keep games in a working state".

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Futures⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, we just need to crash Mercury into the surface of Venus, get the rotation sorted out and a moon going. After that, buildings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the longest discontinuous marriage?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It could have happened, if Helen Viola Jackson would have applied for the pension.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Hedgehogs?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨geoengineering⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Then why does he think we need to create habitats on the moon or other planets? Just stay here if we can last for hundreds of millions of years. The Lord will provide, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon's brother hates concrete⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Not the OP, but I'd say that cinder blocks combine the downsides of bot drywall and brick and mortar.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a more politically and ideologically diverse alternative for Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Regarding the prefacing; it probably won't even work because people will read it as a "I'm not racist, but" kind of statement.

  Regarding the problem you're stating; I've quickly after joining installed a tampermonkey script which allows me to hover over the name of an instance, magazine or user and display a small context menu where I can block them. Blocking certain magazines made all the difference for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Guess I'll die⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Still close enough to see the mushroom cloud.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Guess I'll die⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Meh, Richard Feynman wrote in his biography that he saw the first mushroom cloud through a car windshield during the Manhattan project, he lived for another 40-50 years.
