quindraco@lemm.eeto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Who else wakes up and has to blow their nose or clear their airways every morning and why?3·1 year agoI have this. For some reason, I find a scented candle helps - I sleep with one lit.
quindraco@lemm.eeto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the most well thought out, inoffensive, post you've seen get down voted?141·1 year agoYour belief contradicts trivially-observable reality - you’re making falsifiable claims that have, in fact, been proven false, and 10 to 15 seconds of internet searching would suffice for anyone, including you, to see that.
Easy example: the parabolic arc of the dust thrown up by the lander tires would have cost more than every penny the USA had at the time to fake.

quindraco@lemm.eeto World News@beehaw.org•US President Joe Biden has said that he is considering a request from Australia to drop the prosecution of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange10·1 year agoThis thread is a garbage fire - a bunch of people who didn’t look anything up (or if they did, they cite no sources, so there’s no evidence they did) spouting a bunch of mutually contradictory shit, all of it upvoted. I will never understand why anyone engages with Lemmy this way.
Here is the list of US charges against Assange, from the actual paperwork charging him.
As you can see here, each of the first 17 charges has a maximum penalty of 10 years (not including fines).
Charge 18 is messier. Under USC 371 the max is 5 years. I believe USC 1030 is also capped at 5 years.
So roughly a 175 year sentence, at cap.

quindraco@lemm.eeto Memes@lemmy.ml•Sorry for the low quality post but nonetheless need some advice12·1 year agoDo not buy a recluse house unless you love spiders.
Female as an adjective is inoffensive everywhere, but you will run into problems in some contexts because its definition is currently in flux and different people will mean different things by it.
Female as a noun has the same changing definition deal, and also some online misogynists use it as a pejorative. It isn’t one, but they use it as one. As a corollary, some others on the internet have chosen to be offended by the term.
Also, dishwashers don’t really work. You have to wash the dishes before they go in - best it can do is a glorified rinse and then a dry.
quindraco@lemm.eeto World News@beehaw.org•Prices soar in Argentina after Milei’s currency devaluation4·1 year agoDidn’t he win the vote? Trump lost the vote. He won the election because the American system is designed to sometimes hand victory to the loser - Trump was the 5th or 6th example to date.
1337 speak: b1tch, 8itch, etc
Slightly different vowels: bıtch, bîtch, etc
The article you linked doesn’t say what you claim it says. It discusses a 25moh car hitting a pedestrian, which is wildly different from a true 25mph impact in general, because most pedestrians will try to dodge.
Humans can’t survive being hit by a car at 25 mph.
The primary purpose of most speed limits is tax revenue, which is why most speed limits are not based on safety evidence. The local authorities just tweak the limits to maximize profits.

quindraco@lemm.eeto Socialism@lemmy.ml•You don't get paid for 8 hours work, you get paid for working 8 hours18·1 year agoUnder capitalism, an hourly wage has no meaning; you are paid to accomplish a task. The faster you do so, the more you make per hour, and vice-versa.
Ubder communism, effort is rewarded, rather than results. Provided you worked for 8 hours, you are paid according to some arcane rule specifying your hourly wage. Results don’t matter, only how much time you spent, which is incompetently used as a heuristic for effort.
In this meme, the evil communist overlord is paying someone the communist way, which unfairly gives the overlord an undue share of the profits. The worker was a fool and worked as hard as capitalism would suggest, and is surprised and disappointed to be paid the communist rate.
Depends on jurisdiction.
