You might like this graph of global war deaths by year from 1800 to present:
https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/deaths-in-wars

World War 2 vastly overshadows all other conflicts. Something like 3.7% of the global population died. Some individual countries lost more than 10% of their populations. No other conflict, or group of regional conflicts, comes anywhere close.

I wish the graph in the link had an option to normalize by population. I bet a graph of war deaths as a percent of global population would look very peaceful over the past 50 years.

Edit to add a link about my 10% population number:

Yes, the first link is combatants only. I think the numbers in the second link include civilian deaths, but it isn’t explicitly stated on that page.

Since becoming a parent my nightmares all involve my kids being harmed: crashing their bicycles, getting hit by cars, falling and hitting their heads, etc. It’s awful.

I thought this was the thread about the force-sensitive wookies?

Say out loud to yourself, “What the hell is this?” or, “Why did they do it this way?” once in a while. Everyone around will think you know exactly what you’re doing.

It varies greatly depending on your setup.

Lemmy.world’s monthly expenses are around €1,200. Though that includes hosting more services that just Lemmy.

For comparison, it looks like £30 per month for lemmy.zip:

And lemmy.ca is around CAD$30 per month:

At one point Reddthat.com was considering moving to a bigger server that would cost A$150-200 per month:

For 23 days in the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse, much of this trial has become familiar to both Trump and the reporters who cover him.

For Trump, it began each day with his motorcade ride to the courthouse, followed by remarks to the media, then a prompt start to the proceedings at 9:30 a.m… Every morning his lawyers introduced him as “President Trump,” and every morning Judge Merchan greeted him back as just “Mr. Trump.”

I had no idea Trump was getting burned by the judge every day of the trial.

I’m curious where they get their data. Their info for my area doesn’t match the fuel mix report from my public utility.

Edit: looks like data sources are linked on their GitHub.

And the someone else they sold to was crooked, too:

… majority shareholder Thai Union Group, which is also their main seafood supplier, might have pushed the shrimp promotion in order to boost their own sales at the cost of the retailer’s finances. This ownership structure between parties that are supposed to be on opposite sides of restaurant transactions does appear to be a clear conflict of interest.

The bit about the “Codfather” who went to prison for price fixing and dealing with the Russian mob was interesting, too. Wonderful people all around in this story.

I second the idea of looking for a bike co-op. Or even ask at small shops if they would be interested in teaching you. I have known mechanics who would happily stay after hours to help people who wanted to learn. In either place you will have access to the right tools and a wealth of knowledge.

I think the right pedal has a Unior thread adapter on it. These are used to repair a stripped crank arm. When the 9/16"x20 threads strip out you ream the hole and re-tap it with a 5/8"x24 thread, then and use the adapter to make the pedals fit.
