The thing I dislike the most is that my bot got banned. I made a bot to post carefully categorized articles into their proper communities, but it was banned without warning or explanation. All the communities I was modding dried up shortly thereafter because I didn’t manually post in them instead.

Someone offered a definition here: https://lemmy.world/comment/8529913

From the discussion, that definition may also be a hallucination, though.

British crosswords are MORE cryptic than American ones? I can’t consistently solve the LA Times or NYT crossword after Wednesday; I probably wouldn’t be able to do any British puzzles.

I get access to the NYT puzzles app through my library card, which has a very long backlog and lots of packs, so that may be an avenue worth pursuing.

Interesting. Do aerosolized fluoridates adhere to teeth?

All in all, car bloat has increased vehicle prices while making autos more destructive to human life, natural ecosystems, and pavement alike. Because the full societal costs of crashes, pollution, and road repairs are not borne by owners of SUVs and trucks, every American is effectively subsidizing car bloat. Even if they drive a sedan. Even if they don’t own a car at all.

My country’s national anthem is just one long stupid rhetorical question that’s impossible to sing. It’s super embarrassing at international sporting events when it’s consistently the worst one there.

This is how I generally write documentation for my projects: https://tybalt.org

I feel like maybe you don’t know what a headless component library is. A cli has a head – the terminal. Headless applications, by definition, have no visual portion. For instance, a headless browser is a browser where the web page renders in-memory, but never displays any content. A headless component library, then, is one where the implementor doesn’t provide anything visual, only behavior. For web dev, is very helpful – the library implementator writes all the js, but the css and html (the “head”) are left to the user for use. The best headless component libraries, then have nothing to screenshot without the user supplying some implementation.

What would the world even be like without people feeling the need to be a dick about an obvious joke 😘

Me, developing a headless component library:

Things can be two things!

It’s definitely an older one

I would absolutely not use the word “superficial” to describe Barbie, and feel fairly confident you haven’t seen the movie given that you’ve chosen it.

Neither do I, but the Hindenburg famously exploded while being filled with hydrogen.

I dunno much about nucleotide chains, but I’m really invested in the SNP rs1006737 in the gene CACNA1C: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/snp/rs1006737

Seeing the difference in the two nucleotide chains between the disordered personality and a “normal” personality (that’s a gross oversimplification, I know) would be meaningful to me personally, at least.

I think we can even calculate about how often it happens. My math is gonna be Amerigo-centric because I’m American and so are fortune cookies.

There are ~3 billion fortune cookies produced yearly in the USA, so 8.2 million cookies are opened per day. There are 292,201,338 PowerBall combinations. That means that there’s about a 2.8% chance that someone opens a fortune cookie that has any given lotteries numbers on it. But wait! There isn’t just one “the lottery”; there are 48 states and territories in the US, and my state (Washington) has four games. Assuming everyone’s state is like mine, and you randomly select a lottery to play, that leaves us with a much more modest .014% chance that on a given day, someone opens a fortune cookie with their lottery number on it.
