How would your life change if your boss let you go home once you’re done with your tasks for the day?

Assuming my math is right: how did she feel about being married to a ~50-year-old man when she was 20?

Ich kann mich dran erinnern, dass wir zwischen schriftlichem und mündlichem Abi im Chemiesaal im Abzug gegrillt haben. Ihr wisst schon, Essen im Saal strengstens verboten weil wer weiß schon, was da noch an Chemikalienresten auf sämtlichen Oberflächen verteilt ist.

This is your chance to make one. After all, today you learned that.

Falls jemanden interessiert, was da so an Komponenten drin steckt, schaut mal im git Repository der Community Edition, da gibt es zu den wichtigsten Komponenten jeweils eine Readme.

There is one thing the article omits which is very important: the time frame. At first it looks like this is based on 2024 numbers alone but seeing 52 million for the USA (about 15% of total population) and 16 million for Germany (20%) made me check the linked source. The data was aggregated over the last 35 years.

Are we sure if all Nicole messages are from the same person? The ones with crypto addresses may be a copycat, trying to make money from a scam that was originally designed for something else. The abundance of accounts makes that hard to track.

Rather unlikely, at least for the majority of images sent. They are hosted on regular lemmy instances (the ones I got are on lemmings.world, lemmy.doesnotexist.club and lemmy.net.au), so unless the spammer has access to the server logs of those instances, they can’t use them for tracking.

What’s notable though is that the instance the photos are hosted on never match the sender’s instance, at least for me. So they probably upload them on one instance and copy the link into their spam script.

Can’t be instance-specific. I’m the only active user on my personal instance and I still occasionally get some.

Don’t know, keep your pervy thoughts to yourself?

I would say that 70-80% of what I know about linguistics comes from conlanging. Sure, the basics come up in school, both in literature and foreign language classes but there they are muddied by all the exceptions that real life languages have. In conlanging, we can apply linguistic concepts in their pure form and experiment with them.

Do you guys have no filter? We still have no idea if the person in the photo is okay with them being shared and calling her “fine” and “hot as fire” is pretty icky in that context.

The most recent photo includes a carton of Del Monte Orange Morning Sunshine juice which is available at Costco Canada. In Europe, they use a different design. So if this is a case of someone stealing someone else’s photos, they at least seem to get the location right.

It’s mostly a “well, technically” kind of thing. First prototypes were around since the 1840s but the first commercial telefax service was introduced in February 1865, a little under two months before Lincoln was killed. Samurai were around until the late 1860s or early 1870s. I can’t quite find when the first telefax machine was operated in Japan but 1928 shows up on some lists.

So yeah, Lincoln could have sent a fax to a samurai if they both had traveled to France just a few weeks before Lincoln’s death.

Don’t forget elementary school, first pet and favorite sports team.

Collections might have been inherited over generations. For some of them, the current owners may not have much interest in what they have and therefore not be aware of some rare copies.

In proper libraries, we probably have the author and title in a database somewhere but not the content. In private collections, all bets are off.

I would assume that almost any old library or private collection that includes old handwritten books has at least a couple of manuscripts that nobody has read in decades if not centuries.

I think that one baffles me the most. They make an argument for Shenmue and even if I don’t agree with it being on one, I can somewhat see why it’s on the list. But KCD2 has no right to be on the list at all. As they state themselves, the game is not even two months old. We can’t even remotely say what its long-term influence on the gaming industry will be. Though my money is on “none at all.”

HALF-LIFE 2

Okay that’s a little weird. We’re getting up into the real high-water heights here and I mean HL2 is good but…

This list is not about good, it’s about influential. HL2 was the first major game that based its core gameplay to its physics engine, the first to have HDR rendering and the game that Source engine was developed for. Without HL2, a lot of video games in the decade that followed it, would have looked a lot different.

SHENMUE

THE FUCK WHY WHAT

The article claims that Shenmue was the first to have a “living world” where characters follow their daily routines and so on. But yeah, I have my doubts if all the other games that do that were influenced by it.
