There’s a bullet hole in the flashing under my second floor gutters, facing the street. Doesn’t look like it came from nearby, like it’s not slanted down toward the street or anything. No idea how long it’s been there, but I found it a few years ago when cleaning the gutters. Bullet might still be lodged in there.
It’s genuinely wild to me that people just fire this shit off willy-nilly.
Holy shit that’s horrible :(
Thanks for the info. That’s horrifying.
People can’t even drive properly with both pedals…
Wait, evs don’t have a separate brake pedal?
I definitely can’t.
I substantially reduced tp use, but female anatomy makes that level of frugality nearly impossible, at least without uncomfortably damp undies, in my experience. 😅
Best I managed before the swap was one 24 pack for a year. Still very good, but room for improvement :)
I also got a bidet, but then I went one further and got small towels to wipe up the water.
Pack of 50 cheap washcloths isn’t that much more than a pack of nice toilet paper, but they can go through the wash in a sanitary cycle with bleach and I can reuse them until they fall apart. Then I just need toilet paper for visitors.
It sounds kinda ick, I know, but consider that we wash underpants, and what’s the difference?
Oh, interesting. It’s applied externally.
I have shade tint on my big southeast picture windows that has a slightly mirror effect (I didn’t put it there, but oh man I’m glad it’s there), and birds slam into them all the time (there are lilacs in front and I assume the foliage looks deeper than it is). Fortunately they are slowing for landing when they do it so none have been seriously injured, but I’ve wanted a solution to the problem for a while without it looking like crap or removing the interior tint.
Interesting. Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions, I appreciate it!
That makes sense as to why Mozilla would be developing rust, then, thank you :)
One last (probably) follow-up question - is the payment to those companies for support purposes, or is it a license to even use the language? Like if you write your whatever in one language and then decide to swap…… umm… service providers I guess (maybe MSP situation?), do you need to re-write your entire whatever to no longer use it, or do you just no longer have support for issues?
Excellent thanks, I’ll look into that, and thank you for the information :)
You say “we” which hints that you have (some?) experience in the field, do you have any insight as to why one would want to create a new language rather than just helping to refine an existing one or something? Do they end up too bloated or do they function inherently differently or some other thing I haven’t thought of…?
Interesting, thanks for the response, that gives me something to look for :)
And yeah, that last bit does rather sound likely ;)
I don’t think that’s true on a site like Lemmy, where you have a -lot- of hardcore techies interacting with non-techies and encouraging them to learn. And also just non-techies constantly exposed to info about tech. There’s so much tech stuff here it’s impossible to avoid.
As a direct result of being on Lemmy, I’m familiar with rust (vaguely, but I know there are projects to re-code stuff in rust, and that it’s supposed to be a more robust language for… reasons), and care enough to read about it when there are posts I can understand about it (my tech level is sort of… on the low end of intermediate) but I don’t know anything about how web browsers work, because it’s just never come up.
This makes me really curious in a way I’m not really sure how to search for (and I certainly don’t expect you to have an answer, but maybe someone does)…
How does one actually go about developing a new coding language? I assume it’s something that you need to…… translate to assembly in some way (I’m not advanced techie, but my understanding is that at core everything is assembly, and code languages are on top of that)? And what’s the purpose of developing more languages anyway?
Here’s the relevant bit about how it works, in conjunction with inhibitors:
“They discovered that mRNA vaccines work like an alarm, putting the body’s immune system on high alert to recognize and attack cancer cells.
In response, the cancer cells start making the immune checkpoint protein PD-L1, which works as a defense mechanism against immune cells. Fortunately, several immune checkpoint inhibitors are designed to block PD-L1, creating a perfect environment for these treatments to unleash the immune system against cancer.”
I agree, frankly. I am expert qualified (former military), and inherited firearms when my mom died. I don’t have any firearms currently, as I sold those off (very very old farm weapons; we were on a farmette) nor do I ever intend to get more. All that training, and I’m still not comfortable owning something that is designed specifically to kill something.
That is to say you can hypothetically do nothing, and still end up with firearms, which is a really big problem. Zero background check on inheritance…
