Because it’s a lot easier to discredit a religious argument when the sermon cites “4th Thessalossians 67:B” and gives the most generic sounding paragraph with the one weirdly specific phrase they instructed the bot to include and em—dash thrown in for good measure.

At least if they all use the same manual, it’s easier to pull over the ones who are on the fence.

I don’t have a perfect memory but I do have a good one, and I can confirm that the pastor at my parents church when I was growing up re-used sermons from multiple years prior.

So at least some recycle. As expected, they are still just as (ir)relevant.

That solar panel looks useful.

Since I have never gone out in nondescript black clothing at night to destroy these things, I can’t say from firsthand knowledge…

But yes, yes they are. They make great trickle chargers for large batteries that only get used intermittently. Or string several together and enjoy an ebike battery charger. I have a similarly sized and shaped panel I found somewhere that I use to charge my 18650 bank.

A couple flock cameras near my town keep getting taken out and put back up.

The latest blurry security camera footage to catch the culprit has led to sweet FA since they ride a nondescript dark color mountain bike, wear all black clothing without logos or text, and seem to avoid riding their bike unmasked near businesses with cameras and houses that might have door cameras.

I don’t even think they know gender/skin/hair color. Anything other than “average human height” really.

Anyway, shout out to everyone who destroys one of these things. It’s illegal, but it’s the morally correct thing to do.

Take it from me, you don’t want to go down the “eugenics” road…

I really don’t like ice. It’s cold, slippery and wet.

And it gets everywhere.

Just like the shitty US fascist police…

Even if I did, too late you greedy bigots.

You can agree that something is disgusting on a fundamental level while still feeling nothing…

I find the constant suffering of others to be heartbreaking, but I don’t actually go around feeling heartbroken all the time.

Being desensitized by things I’ve seen on the interwebs over the years has dulled any reaction I might have, but I an still understand, articulate, and sympathize with those feelings.

But it also does the dishes without using as much water as you do.

The sad truth is a lot of religious people believe that the end times won’t come unless the earth isn’t livable anymore.

A even LARGER group of religious simply think their sky person will give them a new earth that’s perfect so why bother protecting this one.

They and their supporters are complicit in the murder of the planet at best, and are trashing everything on purpose, trying to claw back any and every support of things that can make it a better place.

Next they’ll ask why red barrels explode when you shoot them…

English IS my first language and it still tripped me up. It’s an easy thing to swap, especially without much context.

I read it as “to break off” not “to temporarily interrupt”

Forgive them

Nah. Just forget them.

I wish my wife could play subnautica with me, as she likes swimming around and stuff but isn’t really “good” at video games, since she never played one until adulthood.

In Minecraft it’s mostly me doing the work while she does farming stuff. I once came back from a deep mining trip to see a once-empty field filled to the maximum with cows. We had a nice library afterward though.

I still haven’t beaten subnautica without cheating or taking shortcuts. Heck when I first downloaded it, it didn’t even have an ending yet.

9.3/10, it’s fun

A local church got fined something like 150k for hosting a soup kitchen every Thursday and only stopped because cops started breaking it up and arresting people.

In the same month, the only local food bank closed for a plethora of reasons (no donations, lack of enough/consistent volunteers, etc)

Cops started threatening to arrest people who gave anyone food on the side of the road.

Genuine question: what are homeless/starving people supposed to do now?

I mean, we all know the answer, I just want the Fuckwads to say it out loud and stop pretending.

Luigi (who I am not convinced actually did it) only stopped at one.

I bet if we kept going, things would change pretty substantially.

That’s insane to me.

I have money to buy something, and I’m being refused the sale despite this money being legal tender.

I’ve never heard a girl use those measurements.

Women, however, use them frequently enough.

Sorry for being pedantic but it rubs me the wrong way when people refer to women as “girls”

Edit: Guess this part of lemmy is cool with infantilizing women. Didn’t know people around here were cool with sharing traits with pedophiles, but here we are.

What elegance might even an extra millimeter of chassis space produced?

People really don’t seem to understand that in the electronics world, one single millimeter can make worlds of difference.

You absolutely can cram so much more stuff in “dumber” electronics, but phones are even more constricted in design, because they need to send and receive signals of different types, so feedback and signal noise are concerns.

Adding in even slightly more space allows for much better design, because you have more tolerances to reduce signal noise. It allows dozens of wires for camera sensors to route better. A 20% longer battery life. Heck, just being slightly more ergonomic and less droppable is a bonus to slightly thicker phones.

I didn’t even consider signal noise until I got into fpv drones and rc stuff, it can mame a ton of difference if you have a single wire 2mm out of place. (and crash your drone because the motor interfered with your antenna)

Thiner≠better.
