Voting is an individual event

Not voting doesn't do anything but make you feel better about yourself. No one in power cares that you didn't vote. They actually love low voter turnout because it's an easier demographic to hit

Inaction is also an action. You're always playing the game, might as well learn the rules.

It's the trolley problem. You see a trolley about to kill 5 people. You can pull a lever (vote) and make the trolley only kill 1. In this case, that 1 person is also in the lineup of 5. This distinction makes it obvious the only option is to pull the lever (vote).

Started learning German for fun, now it seems like a good plan B.

I tried it and mostly love it. It's not quite polished enough yet for me and I have two main complaints. First, half of my keyboard shortcuts don't work anymore, and I wasn't able to fix that last I tried. Second, it wouldn't let me lock my computer or suspend. Had to shutdown everytime. Other than that and random librecalc crashes, I'm excited to see where it is in the coming months. Really rooting for the pop team

I'm so glad they're losing it to these scams instead of to leon.

Turn the fuck back around!

Fair enough, from my very limited research (Chicago museum has an exhibit about this exact thing), some animals use a 4-bar linkage to maximize force. I think Trex was among them.

Read this last Thursday when I was healthy. Now I have the flu. This cursed me

Bite pressure would be a more interesting comparison IMO. Of course a Trex is gonna have a massive bite force because it's dominated by size.

Hello everyone! I encountered a weird bug yesterday that I wanted to run by you guys to (hopefully) find a solution. I recorded a short (10s) video on my pixel 8. Then I sent it to my wife's iPhone via signal. She then tried to send it to her family via imessage and upload it to social media, but was unable to do anything with it besides watch it. The cheap solution ended up being sending the video over MMS, but as you know that compresses the video to JPEG hell. Have any of you ran into this bug and/or have solutions/workarounds that don't completely destroy the quality like MMS?

Edit 1: bonus points for solutions which check the WAF box!
