Detroit’s abandoned Silverdome stadium (reddthat.com)

The Pontiac Silverdome stadium in Michigan was once hailed as the finest in the world when it opened in 1975. It hosted major events for decades but fell into disrepair after losing its main tenants in the 1980s and 90s. The stadium struggled financially and was sold for just $583,000 in 2009. It continued deteriorating with...

Pattern,

Wow. I remember playing old NFL video games and this being the Lions’ stadium. Weird to see it looking like this.

Pattern,

This is a Lemmy.world post, I don’t think they see this

Pattern,

Excellent! Avelon is quickly moving to the top of my stable of Lemmy apps. Thank you for the hard work

Ukraine expands conscription, removes medical exemptions for HIV, hepatitis, mental disorders and more (archive.ph)

Now, the words and figures “with the exception of articles 2-c, 4-c, 5-c, 12-c, 13-c, 14-c, 17-c, 21-c and 22-c” have been removed from the Regulation, i.e. everyone will be recognised as fit under the “controversial” articles:...

Pattern,

If they could read they’d be super shocked by who the Russians are conscripting.

Pattern,

Both Wagner and the regular military have been conscripting criminals straight out of prison and sending them right into the meat grinder with little training and/or equipment.

Pattern,

No. Not as a deliberate tactic and not nearly to the same extent.

X wants permission to start collecting your biometric data and employment history (www.theverge.com)

“Based on your consent, we may collect and use your biometric information for safety, security, and identification purposes,” the privacy policy reads. It doesn’t include any details on what kind of biometric information this includes — or how X plans to collect it — but it typically involves fingerprints, iris...

Pattern,

Is there any information on how he plans to obtain biometric data? My assumption was that, with iPhones for example, all biometric data stays on device encrypted via the Secure Enclave. Is that even something X could access?

Pattern,

The whole internet used to be like this and it was lovely.

Wisconsin Supreme Court chief justice accuses liberal majority of staging a 'coup' (apnews.com)

The conservative chief justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court on Monday told the new liberal majority in a scathing email that they had staged a “coup” and conducted an “illegal experiment” when they voted to weaken her powers and fire the director of state courts....

Pattern,

Historically this is nothing new. Looking at SCOTUS alone, the Marshall court, the Taney court, and the Warren court are all examples of moments where the courts have moved jurisprudence in substantial ways based on ideology. You want justices that, for the most part, will exercise restraint and seek to interpret laws in good faith. I agree with that. But I think it’s important to know that courts have been ideological since the very beginning.

Pattern,

Teacher here and my school is 1-to-1 with Chromebooks. I doubt there’d be any problems from trying to log in with the new school’s Google account on the old Chromebook. Being able to use it at home would most likely not be a problem.

Using it at school instead of the new school provided device would depend on the school’s policies. We allow it in most cases, but it might not hurt to check with your school’s media specialist.

One problem this would create, if your child were at my school, would be with testing software. All of our standardized tests are administered with software that is pushed onto the students’ devices by our IT, and can only be installed on the school’s own managed Chromebooks. So I would again double check with your media specialist, and perhaps be prepared to bring the new Chromebook on standardized testing days (hopefully there aren’t many).

Hope that helps!

Pattern,

Yeah. I had to start pinching myself when I began to look at a $400 pen as a “bargain”. Still love my fountain pens, though.

Pattern,

This is all true. I think it’s also important to note that the court’s shift is a result of strong state-level organizing by the WI Democratic Party. Voter mood has shifted since the Tea Party years, yes, but our Democratic Party has also done really well in getting out the vote, particularly in college towns.

What’s happening in Wisconsin is my rejoinder to apathetic or nihilistic voters. Organizing matters and voting matters. There is a real difference between the two main parties and tangible benefits happen when you elect Democrats.

Pattern,

It lacks a bit of the polish of Ivory, but it’s feature set is second to mine. Quote boosts and multi tag built right in are killer

Pattern,

I think it’s pretty well understood that the psychological stimulation of screens has a larger impact on sleep schedules than blue light.

Pattern,

Still worth watching season 1, I think. It was quite good.

Pattern,

Excellent watch! I went back and forth between this and the blue dial. Settled on the blue, and it has also become my most worn piece by far.

Pattern,

I’m terrified to think of what an anime version of something called “Hairy Mary” might look like.

Pattern,

“Hairy Mary and the Tentacle Rope Armor”

Pattern,

It took me longer to realize than typical Onion headlines

Pattern,

Thank you. I get so frustrated with people who say the two parties are the same. They are not, and all you have to do is compare the policy achievements of the Trump and Biden administrations. There are real consequences to choosing Dem over GOP.

Pattern,

Mac Allister was impeccable this match. Really excited to have him this season

Pattern,

Yeah, came here to post this. Unless it’s made legally binding these statements mean fuck all.

Pattern,

Drinking milk has never been the same.

I’m legitimately worried about us going into the season without a top CDM

I know Mac Allister and Trent can both play in a midfield double pivot, but with Fab gone, we are sorely lacking a top midfielder with destroying and shielding qualities. And I’m not convinced even Lavia is the answer here. I think this is a key deficit when comparing us to other top six teams.

Pattern,

I hadn’t even noticed that. Memmy has been quick to update, wouldn’t be surprised to see they addressed soon.
