The town I grew up in had several public apple trees. I have fond memories of climbing the trees with my friends to get apples.

Maintenance is a thing, though. If not properly maintained, the apples will often grow too densely, yielding only small and sour apples. I would never consider the apples in my home town to be filling food - at best it would be a small snack. It would require a lot of labour to maintain a tree to the point where it would feed people in need.

I'm also bothered by very detailed QR codes. Milk cartons in my country had a QR-code for their website. It would be a ~10 letter url, maybe with a short path. But for some reason, the QR code was extremely detailed, as if it contained several kilobytes of data. I'm not sure if there were a large number of tracking-related parameters in the url, but it was very obviously unreasonably large.

My VW Passat hybrid has carried more material on the roof rack than I'd be happy to admit.

This just adds to the joke, right? 1st world problems being problems which would be wildly undermined if compared to other's problems.

The dog seems to know when she needs to take me for a walk. She's usually right about that stuff.

To be fair, the horse part is just green and brown. The sky and most of the color palette is from the locomotive puzzle. Not sure about gradient or time of day. So to me, the only real similarity is camera angle and perspective.

I propose to stop using "pro-life" and "pro-choice". Instead use "pro-quantity" and "pro-quality".

3/10.

7/10 with rice.

I remember that my brother acquired the full collection of every single song which had ever been on the top 20 list of songs for a national newspaper. It dated all the way back to the 60's, which is ancient for my brother and I, both born around the early 90s. I never got close to listening to the full thing, but it was awesome to have a collection of songs which basically no one knew existed and be able to choose a random year and pick a popular song from then to listen to.

You could do pretty much the same thing now, but the fact that it's so easily available and accesible kills a lot of the magic.

It's like almond milk, oat milk or soy milk. But when milking spaghetti, the liquid is so clear that we just call it spaghetti water.

Gravity assist with one of the larger planets to make a very narrow orbit seems to be the most efficient way. But you need the planets to align correctly to have an efficient route.

"I'll launch you into the sun once there is an appropriate transfer window to Jupiter" just doesn't have the same ring to it.

The vessel would still have a lot of speed after escaping earth's orbit, so the trajectory would become a large orbit around the sun. You still have to slow down by about ~30km/s (or ~100 000 km/h) to make that orbit intercept with the sun's surface.

 

If inciting an insurrection towards their own government is an action without legal repercussions, I don't see how the law would be less lenient about straight up firing a gun at an opponent.

I by no means want any party to resolve to violent tactics. So even though I play with the thought, I really don't want anything like it to happen. I am just curious if it's actually the case that a sitting president has now effectively a licence to kill.

What am I missing?

 

I created an account on mastodon.social a few days ago. A day after creation, my account was suspended. My appeal was denied and no reason was given. So I assumed mastodon.social was not accepting new accounts, so I moved over to mastodon.online and created an account there. Today that account was suspended as well, again without reason. I didn't post anything from either account. My only actions were to follow a few people within tech.

Looking at previous posts here, people are laughing at complaints about difficulties of joining mastodon and pushing it away as a simple task. I have now attempted to join two of the highest suggested servers of mastodon and gotten suspended from both. I am uninterested in shotgunning servers until I find one which doesn't suspend me without reason.

How is the onboarding process of mastodon supposed to work if the top suggested servers are suspending new accounts without warning or reason?
