for things that will most likely happen.

When I took the First-aid/CPR course, the red cross trainer spent like 30 minutes doing a list of what can realistically happen where we are. An interesting exercise.

Full blown apocalypse is unlikely, but doing stuff like checking the flood-risk map before renting/buying a home (Especially ground floor apartment and single-floor house) does wonder at not having to evacuate. Knowing the kind of dangerous factory/goods in your area also helps a lot planning for the right thing.

Piefed isn't lemmy so voyager won't work. I believe interstellar does work (I use it for my alt on mbin and it's a nice app)

OP, as you see, you're not stuck in your instance and can interact directly with people/communities from other instances. I believe that piefed also let you follow Mastodon account, but I haven't tried piefed yet

Bread in whole loaf so it lasts more than 24h, large hand-cut slice feel better, and a minor inconveinience anyhow.

Do not over cut grass, it's time consuming, feels artificial, and is bad for insects

What do you mean ?

Most lemmy communities are pretty relax and laid-off, not really aplace with troll and censorships

IANAL but I really doubt you can't patent a game mechanic. Have you noticed the amount of "D&D clone" which aren't SRD version but do use D20, classes, and level rather than original game mechanics?

You can't come with an infinity of games mechanics and even assuming it's legal to patent (I doubt-it) there is tons of previous art which would make the patent invalid. Even a very inovative game like Blade in the Dark re-use tons of concept from other games like reputation score, partial success, dice pools or clocks

Isn't it even part of US law? And why big organization request their data to be hosted in their country?.

I thought this was far more than just Snowden

Open the windows at night. It's more efficient if you have blinds and can close them to prevent the sun to heat the windows during day

Something that is very easy to forget is that stock value is only very loosely tied to actual company value. Stock value is based on what people are prepared to pay for the stock, not what the company is worth.

Which IMO is a real problem in Tech companies If I look at more traditional industries, A coca-cola stock gives me ~ 0.50 US$ per quarter, so with an expected yield of 3% I am ready to buy a stock at US$ 66. and the current market value is US$ 68, if I do the same exercise for Airbus with 2 EUR of regular divident and 2 EUR of exceptional dividend and that I expect a 3% yield, I would pay 133 EUR for an airbus stock, for a market value of 166. A worse investment than Coca-cola, but still a decent one especially considering the raise of the military companies.

And then there is tech company giving no dividend and using stock buyback (How is that even legal) to keep the company value artificially high.

 

Due to the Canadian influence in the Francophone improv scene, on improv match you see team wearing Ice-hockey jersey, referee with the black-white stripped jersey, and the public would thrown slipper at them. Making it a fun and interactive show.

But is it something universal (On matches with competing team, not on improv show who don't have referee) or something limited to the Francophone scene ?

 

While it fell a bit out of fashion, many of you have heard about Scam-baiting where you reply to scammer and drive them nuts. In the 00's the 419eater.com website was pretty popular.

I would expect that many of you on the fediverse have the skill and time to drive scammer crazy, so did some of you tried to reply to the Nicole Scam ?

If you have any leadership role in a guild, you know more about (project) management than someone who doesn't

At the time there was no server per language/regio, we learned English by playing video game

IVAO/vatsim might help you to learn aviation phraseology. However, relatively few simmer do fly VFR on the network

Why would any one spend one month of minimal wage in a phone, especially considering the trend to boycott made in US.

I am ready to believe that iPhone are great but no way I spend that much money for a phone

there isn't actually that much to read, at the user level. Nowadays, on a "user friendly distribution" you should be able to launch firefox to browse lemmy, and open a pdf without much difficulties. Even printer aren't anymore a nightmare to install.

Main stuff to know IMO.

  • Linux distribution came with app store long before it was cool, for 99% of the case should just use-them, no need to worry (at first) about how to install an app which doesn't come from an official repository

  • While you can choose among many Desktop environment, just take the one coming with the distro you choose and get used to it.

  • Terminal is a pretty neat tool once you know-it, but so is a Torque-wrench for your car. You do not have to know how to use-it to use a PC.

Serious answer : I am not living there, have no idea how to compare, nor whether the court system works as a safeguard.
