Kabaka, to world in Chinese climbers stuck on cliff for more than an hour due to overcrowding

That quotation and the other one in the article seem to be from comments on the social media posts, not comments from people actually on the cliff.

I have two .af domain names that got suspended as well. I don't even think they had a single DNS record set right now, but I had short-term plans for them. Oh well.

Probably because of all the crustaceans.

Fair point, but we should celebrate any privacy wins we can get. That privacy is a consideration at all is a good start.

Kabaka, to losangeles in Uncontrolled chemical reactions fuel crises at LA County's two largest landfills
Kabaka avatar

I recently asked about this while touring a landfill in northern California.

Only some types of waste can be composted, and large scale compost buyers are very picky about what went into the compost. Residential compost tends to have very unpredictable contents, so it's basically impossible to sell it to anyone but small businesses or individuals, and some of these programs end up giving it away for free.

But yeah I don't think most of this could be turned into compost anyway, especially at this scale.

It's a render. Sorry for the Reddit link, but this seems to be where the artist posted and discussed it:

I actually like tigers a little more than I like lions…

Traitor. But gryphons are cool!

Kabaka, (edited ) to maliciouscompliance in Businesses can discriminate against their customers? Alright then...
Kabaka avatar

It's complicated and the implications and scope are not entirely clear.

The court stated that creative works such as web design qualify as a form of speech, and that the first amendment does not allow the government to use law to force creators to speak any message — especially one with which they disagree. Essentially, any business with something that might be considered speech as its product or service may be free to discriminate against protected classes. We aren't sure how far this will extend in practice, but I expect many will test it.

In this case of this post, it depends on what is being sold.

Edit: wrote this before my coffee and thus neglected to point out what replies said: political affiliation is not a protected class in America and these signs are a bit misleading. See replies.

There have been credible reports that they had initiated an emergency ascent, though I am not sure if this is a certainty. If it's true, they were definitely aware that they were in serious danger long enough to make and enact that decision.

Kabaka, to mildlyinfuriating in Owners destroyed the soul of their own house
Kabaka avatar

I found a real estate listing for the house (yes, you could own this beauty), but I don't know if posting it would count as doxxing per community rules, so I won't. In any case, this is not a business.

They want £300k+. Based on what was written, the whole idea was minimal maintenance and maximum room for parking. The back yard/back "garden" is the same as the front: just a bunch of tile. The interior is less offensive, but just what you'd expect: very modern, lots of black and white and bold shapes.

With the right circumstances, you can sometimes see the actor's pulse on their neck. Sometimes they'll hold their breath or breathe slowly, but there's not much you can do about the heart.

Kabaka, to news in Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Says Russia Acted In 'Good Faith' In Ukraine Invasion
Kabaka avatar

I really don't disagree with you, but if we want democrats to show up and vote, this is not the attitude that will make it happen. People largely believe their votes don't matter. If the candidate is bad anyway, why even bother? I'm not saying this negativity is the only (or biggest) problem, but it is very discouraging.

Let's get better candidates where we can, but we need to go full speed with the best we have. If democrat voter turnout was better, there would be no contest, and maybe we could start having a real dialogue about improvements instead of just fighting to avoid more far right extremism.

Kabaka, to lemmy in Interesting difference from Reddit: Upvotes/Downvotes are not anonymous
Kabaka avatar

I don't quite follow this. It might be a slow query with a full scan, but you could select on user-id, join post-ids with community-ids, and aggregate how a user votes in various communities, or do an export that joins votes and posts to analyze for word-clusters they up/down or whatever.

I think they mean you couldn't exclusively pre-aggregate it to a vote tally on the post record and not track it per user. It must be tracked on a per-user per-post basis (in some way).

The 19-year-old reportedly told family he was terrified. It was Father's Day and his father is very interested in the Titanic, so he went anyway. He was just trying to impress and relate to his father.
