I don’t have opinion on this because I’m from Europe and I stopped understanding American politics but just wanted to point out that 80s were 40 fucking years ago. 40.

Went to my car at Lidl. When entering I hit my head against the roof. Bumped to the other way, door began closing, hit my other side of my head against the door, then roof again, again door and smashing into the interior in a sitting position. Door closed.

After made myself think again I thought about how my father would be disappointed over my grave that he raised my for so long and I killed myself in such a stupid way.

That’s what we did in Polish. It’s „metr”.

How does it work that we eat few times a day, but usually we poop only once?

Is the colon somehow programmed to buffer the waste until the time is up and then dumps it all further?

Got this thought when observing my dog who eats twice a day (morning and evening) and more or less poops twice a day (morning and evening).

Great read. Thanks for sharing it! Genuinely learned something today

Nah. I respect your point but I don’t agree. I sometimes have this urge to do some extra hours because what I do is super fun, challenging and I learn a lot. It feels like gaming or hobby projects at times.

But what I learned after decade and a half in my job is that 6 hours of such work is a hard limit. Later one starts to burn out quickly. It’s like going on turbo boost. Nice fly but fuel is going down pretty quickly.

My brain performance goes also down quickly in such a sprint so the outcome quality goes down as well without even me noticing.

8 hours. Then I go with my life doing something completely different. No matter how much fun I have at work.

You shouldn’t do extra hours and you shouldn’t work more than 8 hours a day.

Free country where a 10 year old kid can’t even walk alone. Meanwhile in Germany parents of 6 year olds are heavily encouraged by school to let kids walk to school alone and stop being such a cry babies because nothing is gonna happen and they should learn to be independent.

Also why did they arrest her? In my country when the state thinks you committed a smaller crime and there’s no reason to believe you’re gonna fly they just send you a letter.

Power units (self.askanamerican)
 

How come Americans use penguins or school buses for measuring length and distance but still use kilowatt for power and not let’s say thrown stone per mile?

 
 

I’m on vacation in Türkiya and wonder: what happens when let’s say a pregnant woman goes on vacation and for whatever reason gives birth there.

How can she take the newborn back to her country? Need to prepare all the papers in the embassy or there’s some special procedure for such cases so the paper work can be done in a country she resides normally?

One thing I miss from Twitter that Mastodon has only partially is to be able to search through the network for some keywords, like breaking news, events, and so on, so I can see other people takes on that.

So I made a small project that aims to fill this gap.

I've seen some previous attempts that made many people upset, I hope this time nobody will take their forks and pitches to burn me as it's:

  • calling mastodon instances public local timelines via their API
  • takes only posts that are made by accounts that OPT-IN to being indexed (there's noindex flag that I honor)
  • keeps the posts in database for a short time (currently one hour) to avoid abuse and also to lower costs of running it

It gives me a lot of fun and for me it's quite useful, so I guess someone might find it useful as well.

Also, it's open source, but GPL license so it stays FOSS forever.

Happy to take any feedback, also happy to add some instances that are not yet being listened to. It turns out opt-in people are not that many so adding even large instances doesn't make my server belly up.

Instances: https://github.com/Kukei-eu/kukei-masto/blob/main/server/instances.js

 
 

So, in the era of increasingly good AI powered tools and general search engines full of SEO spam, last week I started creating something little old school and against the trends.

For now It's a have-fun-and-find-out project that main aim is to provide good search results for general web development queries with a special focus on independent blog authors.

The thesis is that no SEO spam website is in the index, which will already filter out most annoying noise on Google/Bing.

Search results are grouped per type: docs, blogs and magazines (e.g. blog platforms or bigger websites).

For now it's far from being done in terms of having a full index, but in most cases it already replaces my go-to search engine when I'm looking up some stuff during work.

I'm looking forward hearing out what y'all think and if you think it makes sense overall I can only encourage you to post some links to blogs or docs that are still missing in the index. I'm more than happy to add it to the crawler.

Responds like: "nei, total shit, who would need that" also accepted but constructive critique more appreciated ;)

EDIT: everyone many thanks for all your voices and comments. I'm super grateful for all of them and happy that we have such place like Lemmy!

Smurfs only in the evening? (self.rocketleague)
submitted 1 year ago by sznowicki to c/rocketleague
 

I wonder if others also have this feeling that during evenings smurfs are more prominent.

I’m silver 3 for some time and when I play during lunchtime I win all the games. Not super easily but I win them. Then I go up in ranking and in the evening when I play again I see a drastic increase of skill in my opponents. Which makes me barely win or loose and then I go down again few slots.

I have to say it’s quite annoying and I consider not playing competitive any more during late hours to finally be able to jump to gold.

 

Lahn is perfect for kayaking. Well maintained infrastructure, amateur friendly and god those views are amazing.

Unfortunately our initial 2-day-trip plan converted into one day due to weather collapse but was still fun.
