Ken Follett actually likes to do this. Pillars of the Earth and its sequel World Without End both have it. A dangerous fortune does, too. They’re all primarily historical fiction though, the romance is always just a part of it.

Technically, this would be nuking the UAE and Yemen

Russia is the fucking dealer of their own cards. The sanctions and blowing up of pipelines are both direct responses to their fucking invasion of Ukraine.
They don’t get to play the victim.
Tbf, it would be pretty strange if law enforcement needed a warrant for flock camera footage, considering they’re just freely accessible on the fucking internet /s
I’d prefer a humanoid robot taking an order over the soulless upselling dark pattern filled touchscreens we have now.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What programming language would you recommend for teaching to non-technical people that use a variety of different OSes?
21·4 months agoWhat?
Linux: Install with whatever package manager you use
Windows: download installer, run installer
Mac: Idk, same as Windows I’d guess
Then type python or python3 into your command line to check of it works. Run scripts from command line, too (to prevent stuff like file associations or shebangs)
Any version >=3.10 is fine, the differences don’t matter for a basic course. Venv or even pip is not needed either (again, basic course).

That’s an easy one: never.
It’s outdated and no longer used as a title. And mildly derogatory as a standalone word.
At least in Germany. Not sure about Austria or Switzerland, tbh, they might well be more traditional about it.

10·6 months agoIt should support both. On the instance side to limit a region/country matching the instance, then client side to set your actual reachable area.
That would make sense for forks, not branches. Although to be fair, the word branch also doesn’t make sense for branches (since those don’t exactly merge back into the trunk).
- Leader/Follower
- Origin(al)/Replica
- Primary/Secondary
There’s a lot of really well-fitting words to accurately describe the relations. Master/Slave is honestly not one of them.
Its called the stone age, not the log age, duh.
My work has me working with Matlab Simulink paths, which may (and sometimes actually do) contain newlines.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What kind of character are you currently playing in DnD/Pathfinder?
3·8 months agoI’m playing a warforged order of scribes wizard. But the Warforged body is just a vessel for the actual character: A sentient spellbook.
Mechanically, this worked out incredibly well. I took the telepathic feat as well, and depending on the context I switch between a robotic outside voice to a demonic inside voice.



Highly recommended watch if you like Mission Impossible. There’s so many direct references.
