Sadly, that's actually on the higher end of the spectrum when it comes to American vehicles

Maybe their belt is on correctly, and it's just their torso that's on backwards

Antisemitic people, if I had to make a guess

I'm really not sure who looks more distressed here, tbh

I like that out of all that, this is the part that you took issue with 😂🤣

Though, I might counter that with the fact that we've conducted at least rudimentary low-earth orbit reconnaissance flights since the end of WWII/the beginnings of the Cold War with the U2 and (later) SR-71s... So, while my phrasing may have been off, I still feel as if there arguments to be made in favor of there being sufficient vacuum at their operational ceiling(s) to allow for a little extreme breathplay, if you will.

"Now available from Hasbro™, the Demon Core Playset! For the first time, now you too can experience the thrill of needlessly edging the most destructive force ever devised by humankind to the brink of supercriticality using nothing more than your own hands and a flathead screwdriver! (For... reasons!) Perfect for proving exactly who has the biggest balls in the room! Right up until you fry them off and give everyone in the vicinity Super Mega Turbo Cancer, of course! (Well, the lucky ones who manage to survive, at any rate 😁)"

Fr tho, these people were well-educated physicists with access to some of the most cutting-edge technology/equipment available at the time, who knew they were fucking around with what is probably the most powerful destructive force humanity has ever encountered/created in our known history... Less than a kilogram of the material in the bomb dropped on Hiroshima actually achieved fission, and yet that was clearly still more than powerful enough to cause death and destruction on a scale previously unimaginable - particularly for a single weapon.

And these guys then have the bright idea to basically flip a salad bowl over on top of it and manually try to maintain an aperture (with the help of a flathead screwdriver tip - for safety reasons, obviously) that is as small as possible in order to see just how close they can get it to the point of no return, ya know, just for funsies? Because humans are notoriously good at never making any sort of mistakes, right?

I can only assume this was their last resort after the excitement of auto-erotic asphyxiation via popping the hatch of the command module open while in orbit wore off.

Wow, someone's a racist piece of fucking shit

What the fuck is "tosh"?

[-] alaphic@lemmy.world -4 points 1 year ago

The article about it is certainly chock way the fuck full of buzzwords, but did little in the way of instilling in me any desire to actually use the thing... Also, where in the fuck are people coming up with these names nowadays? "Mastodon?Nostr?" What cumbersome, awkward bullshit.

It never fails; Whenever I see someone apologizing for their 'poor English' it's almost always essentially flawless (or, at least, better than the majority of native speakers anyway lol)

Sizing the partitions is a step you (can) take when formatting the drive... And from what I can tell the Envy has an M2 nvme in it, and it just seems crazy to me to basically just ignore that to boot off of an SD card/USB drive....

How sure are you that you want to be using Linux? Lol

So, I recently attempted to use this cheap little bluetooth keyboard/trackpad combo that I have in conjunction with Liftoff and encountered an issue rendering it essentially unusable. Unfortunately, I don't have any other BT input devices to test with to check if it's just some sort of wonkiness between this particular one and Liftoff, but I did try it with another device and other apps on the same phone without issue, so I'm reasonably sure it's not a hardware problem at least.

At any rate, the issue I'm seeing manifests when you have a textbox selected in Liftoff and attempt to input text via a bluetooth keyboard - Every keystroke appears to try to close the on-screen keyboard, which the Liftoff app apparently isn't cool at all with, as it immediately tries to reopen it again. This causes the screen to bounce up and down like crazy, which could still be workable (assuming a sufficient level of confidence in your typistry) if it didn't also cause things to bog down and lose the odd character here and there, as well.

Has anyone else run into this issue? Or perhaps have a fix even? Cuz I've kinda reached the bounds of my troubleshooting expertise as far as bluetooth and bluetooth accessories are concerned and I'm out of ideas.
