Yeah they got into the supply route and added c4 to all those pagers. Makes me wonder how many pagers or smartphones have added explosives still.

Unironisch korrekt. Braucht aber ein Grundverständnis für den eigenen Verstand und wie er unter der Haube funktioniert. "What you resist, persists." Liebevolle Akzeptanz für alle Gefühle (insbesondere die negativen!) ist der erste Schritt für das Wiedererlangen von Kontrolle.

Naw, I block the string "Musk" in my feed, helps a lot. "Get off" did not trigger it, sadly.

Had one in Germany, they were quite common here. Worked well as a bug zapper, there was the occasional smell of crispy moths...

5 1/4" floppy disk drives had little sensors that would detect a notch in the side of the rectangular disk sleeve (well outside of the round magnetic disk inside). Open notch meant "writeable". Manufacturers would sell "one sided" disks cheaper with missing notch for the backside of the disk to prevent using it. You could use a hole punch to pierce the soft plastic sleeve and make a "writable" hole at the correct spot. The disks inside were identical on both sides, there never was a "one-sided floppy disk", technically. This was during the "C64 and everybody got the games by exchanging floppy disks on the school yard" phase of home computing (ca 1985). Prices for floppy disks mattered a lot back then.

Using a hole punch to make 5 1/4" disks double sided! Saved a lot of money!

Depends on data density. Still got a c64 with a whole box of 5 1/4" floppy disks. Last time I checked every one I tried worked fine, and they were written about 33 years ago.

Success has many parents. Failure is an orphan.

If you think you can open the front window of a 737 above the clouds and the only thing that happens is that your tie is slightly blown to the side then you have a very limited grasp of reality.

I don't know. In my country no gas can be paid unless the nozzle has been placed back. The machine registers as "still pumping", and the gas station attendant sees this and cannot process the payment. Why you would do this any other way baffles my mind.

Hi lemmings, did anyone make the effort to gather a list of (major) Reddit communities and their equivalent on Lemmy? Some obviously just kept their name (hail anime_titties, which is NOT what you think it is :)), but with others I cannot seem to find similar communities in Lemmy. If anyone knows of such a list I would be much obliged, especially anything that would be frontpage material. Cheers! Edit Found https://sub.rehab/
