From random searching around it seems lanes haven’t necessarily changed (basically this route is still used) but technology helps a lot. There are definitely fewer icebergs at that location these days but despite many reddit commenters claiming none it seems there are a few icebergs that make it there: https://www.navcen.uscg.gov/sites/default/files/images/iip/data/2017/20170426_NAIS65.gif

Apparently radar makes sure ships know about any icebergs well in advance, and there are also ice patrol planes and satellite tracking to make them pretty much a non-issue. Unless you’re the MV Explorer cruise ship that sunk in the Antarctic after hitting an iceberg in 2007. But that was outside of shipping lanes and monitoring areas as far as I can tell.

For sad reasons, yes. Probably a lot lower chance than it was 100 years ago.

I feel like it still does sometimes, with some sites that feel like they are nearly a whole OS in themselves.

Huh. Here in NZ tea, (instant) coffee, milk (and usually Milo as well) are virtually always provided by an employer (only by social convention, as far as I can tell, not a legal requirement). I kinda assumed Britain would be the same since we must have got the custom from somewhere.

I cook cut off a part of myself and sous vide it at my body temp and it would cook and be edible.

Can you really? Your internal body temp? Around 37C or under 100F? I can’t find any sous vide recipes that low. I can’t find anything under 50C, which would kill you if it was your internal body temperature.

Except the part where all incognito tabs/windows share the same session.

Me too! The comics are occasional so I always forget I have it in my RSS feed until BAM something like this shows up.

And you still won’t explain why!

No problem! I’ve used it for years, though my home assistant running on a Raspberry Pi 4 is now doing the pi-hole thing with adguard instead as the original one was having issues. Though you get weird DNS quirks when the machine running DNS also relies on the internet.

Plus that time I did a dumb thing in home assistant to see what would happen, and it brought the internet down.

So I am keen to get another Pi. I highly recommend keeping it on a dedicated device you never touch except for updates!

I ran it on an original Raspberry Pi B which has the same RAM and a slower CPU than the original Zero! It was still in use as a Pi-hole (running the DietPi OS) until recently where it seems to be dying or not keeping up.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard strimmer, though it does seem to be a thing when I search it up. I would say Weed eater, weed whacker, or line trimmer.

Vote privacy can be tricky in an environment where every vote gets sent to thousands of instances and needs to be verified as legit via the ActivityPub protocol.

Piefed does a good job of this I think. If vote privacy is enabled, they create a second account that is used only for votes. Other instances see the votes and can validate them against the vote account but it’s not tied to the actual user (except in their home server database).

A benefit of this is that the vote account for the user is always the same, so you can still track vote manipulation, and ban the vote account if needed.

The back calls it “Tasty cheddar cheese”:

Other types of cheese are available, it’s just that cheddar is not clearly labeled as such since it’s kind of the “default”.

E.g.

In NZ English… “Cheese”. Though we do have a term “tasty” for a 12-18 month aged cheddar cheese that I don’t think is commonly used elsewhere. At the supermarket you’re likely to see “mild” or “tasty” not “cheddar”.

In Māori, “tīhi”. It’s a transliteration of “cheese” into a language that has neither a “ch” nor a “s” sound.

One of my favourites that I haven’t seen mentioned is the Todo.txt extension.

It adds a todo list in the tray synced to a couple of files (that I store in Nextcloud). I add things I need to do to the list, and I also play with the settings so it colours by priority and sorts by priority.

I also use the ntodotxt app on my phone to sync items. The app is fine but I really like the gnome extension, very handy.

Are there enough trampolines on earth that we could reasonably expect that at any time there is at least one person in the upper part of their jump on a trampoline?

I mean 30,000 feet is 9km. The Kármán line is 100km. The ISS is at an average altitude of 400km.

It’s a bit like saying people in planes don’t count as flying because then people on trampolines should count.

Presumably standing seats means standing up? Hopefully not squatting seats.

Yeah me neither. Makes no sense.
