EuphoricPenguin@normalcity.lifetoLemmy Support@lemmy.ml•and symbol gets replaced by "&" everywhere on Lemmy English51·2 years agoshould know this already. :)
What in the gosh darn condescending non sequitur is that? I have a special kind of dislike for people who, instead of trying to promote learning for anyone and everyone at any stage, instead choose to ridicule people for having missed some trivial detail that has about as much in common with Bash as does COBOL (basically nothing). Web scripting is, unsurprisingly, its own skill, and it’s very, surpassingly, extremely, stupendously, and obviously conceivable that someone could have years of Bash experience but only recently started putting around with scripting for things like API access or HTML parsing. But you should know this already. :)
EuphoricPenguin@normalcity.lifeto pics@lemmy.world•The Veluwemeer Aqueduct: Netherland's Unique Water BridgeEnglish7·2 years agoIt’s a road on a man-made land bridge before and after this aqueduct. In this shot here, it’s a bit hard to see, but the road is actually on a slight angle to make more room for the aqueduct. The walls around the road are only for this section, as out of frame the road is almost certainly on top of your bog standard land bridge.
EuphoricPenguin@normalcity.lifeto Risa@startrek.website•Voyagers favorite Ensign. Forever... an Ensign.English7·2 years agoI never remember this happening. Unless the Kazon make a return in S6/S7 (as I haven’t finished those yet), the closest thing was the Silver Blood Harry™ (died with the rest of the duplicate ship) or the Deadlock Duplicate Harry™ that replaced the Harry that was killed when attempting to repair a hull breach.
Everyone knows the old rhyme, “Step in a cargo hold, break your back.”

EuphoricPenguin@normalcity.lifeto Risa@startrek.website•Memory Alpha can get REAL specificEnglish9·2 years agoIsn’t that a stylistic constraint of all Memory Alpha wiki submissions?
EuphoricPenguin@normalcity.lifeto pics@lemmy.world•I'd like to thank to my dog for letting me take a picture of a bee during his walk [OC]English110·2 years agoOk, and?
We need to make the disrespectfully disinterested “Ok, and?” comment a thing on pics. It seems to parody the weird negative overtones regarding innocent content effectively.
EuphoricPenguin@normalcity.lifeto Risa@startrek.website•A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome oneEnglish9·2 years agoI’m just glad that I can resell microphone windscreens as Tribble plushies if I ever need another source of income.
EuphoricPenguin@normalcity.lifeto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•The United States has Florida and "Florida Man". What state/province/region has your country's version of Florida Man (stereotypically home to crazy people)?English2·2 years agoI’ve been meaning to watch more of the show, since I really love the Handyman Corner segments.
EuphoricPenguin@normalcity.lifeto Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•Anyone used Open Tax Solver to do your taxes? (US)English3·2 years agoI had no idea FOSS tax software was a thing. Huh. I’ll try and play around with it at some point and let you know.

EuphoricPenguin@normalcity.lifeto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Air Canada changed my flight for the 3rd time, I'm now landing in Toronto 1 hour AFTER my next flight departure.English6·2 years agoI guess these guys are just plain old tools.
It’s fine, the plot of the next (and all subsequent) episodes forgot about that for him.

EuphoricPenguin@normalcity.lifeto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The prevalence of touchscreens has probably resulted in a decrease in average fingernail lengthEnglish1·2 years agoPerhaps, but I sucked at touch typing when I was younger.
EuphoricPenguin@normalcity.lifeto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The prevalence of touchscreens has probably resulted in a decrease in average fingernail lengthEnglish3·2 years agoNo idea; does autocorrect even exist in an inbuilt fashion on Windows? I’ve never really tried using anything like that.
Oh, and here’s a one-off test I just did without autocorrection turned on. With a few more tries, I’m sure I could get up to 100+.
Even if a handful of people made small reccuring donations each month, we could keep the server running and ditch the timeline I’ve shared here. I’m seriously worried about the increasing server costs: I’m just a single person paying out of pocket, and yet we’re on track to pass $50 per month in the foreseeable future. I don’t really make enough to keep this running without some help; it was easy when it was less than $20 per month, but things have grown to the extent that NCL simply can’t run on that tier of VPS anymore. NCL doesn’t make any sort of money from running this (as it shouldn’t), but it’s also hard to justify the cost without support. I believe I’ve included our donation link if you’d like to pitch in. Any small donation, recurring ones especially, can help to keep us afloat. NCL has tried to stand out with more lenient moderation and an apolitical focus, which are uncommon in the Lemmyverse. I hope we can continue to fill that niche in the future, but we can’t do it without help, unfortunately.
