They can open every piece of mail and read the contents.

Australia doesn’t have neighbors…

That in the very real and current contest between Biden and Trump that Biden at least supports Ukraine, whereas Trump supports Russia amd would likely support Isreal to the extent of starting WWIII in the middle east to bring about the apocalypse for his evangelical base, who earnestly believe they’ll be raptured to heaven while the rest of us live through a nightmarish helscape. Which is looking less crazy by the day because same people won’t vote for a old man vs fanatical insanity spearheaded by an also old man.
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2077 director thanks fans as the game hits a 95% positive review rating on Steam 6 months ago:
It’s an AMD Athlon!
Totally fine for gaming.
- Comment on Mona: Australia women's-only museum files appeal to keep men out 6 months ago:
The problem I see is bigots using that as cover for their bigotry. “Sorry, this golf club is a safe space for people triggered by black people and women.”
The government would have to decide that the discrimination we like is ok, but the discrimination we don’t like isn’t. Which has incredible potential for abuse when the wrong people end up in charge.
- Comment on Star Citizen's first-person shooting is getting backpack-reloading, dynamic crosshairs, procedural recoil, and other improvements to 'bring the FPS combat to AAA standard' 8 months ago:
My hardware is twice as powerful as anything that existed when the game was supposed to release. Still runs like dogshit. I log in once a year to see if the game is still trash. The game is still trash. It’s not a literal scam, but it might as well be because Chris Roberts hasn’t been able to actually complete a game since Wing Commander. Which I loved, and unfortunately that spurred me to flush $40 in the toilet.
- Comment on Lemmy Active Users looking good 8 months ago:
To be fair /r/malefashionadvice turned into a circlejerk of popular people posting fits (influencers?) and very little real advice outside of a preset notion of what was acceptable.
- Comment on Why Charging Your Gadgets Over 80% Is Such a Bad Idea | iFixit News 8 months ago:
I would imagine most devices have BMS settings to deal with this now.
There’s not much incentive to do that. The longer the battery lasts, the fewer phones you sell. Keeping the battery at 100% gives you better review scores. It’s a lose lose for phone makers to implement that.
- Comment on FDA says 561 deaths tied to recalled Philips sleep apnea machines 9 months ago:
If you want to get pedantic about it, 3rd world originally meant countries that didn’t take sides in the cold war. 1st world was US and western European democracies and their client states and allies, 2nd world was USSR and their client states and allies.
3rd world was Africa, India, a lot of SE Asia and some Central/South American countries.
- Comment on Car dealers say they can’t sell EVs, tell Biden to slow their rollout 11 months ago:
My wife’s Prius has gone 190k on the factory pads because most of the braking is done by the motor via regenerative braking. EVs are the same if you’re not speeding up to slam on the brakes at a red light.
- Comment on Car dealers say they can’t sell EVs, tell Biden to slow their rollout 11 months ago:
Several brands have base models at ~20k plus tax. Nissan Sentra, Chevy Trax, etc…

Well Aeronautics is a hard A, so you got that at least. So you’re not entirely wrong. Should be naysah.

It’s the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
- Comment on Do the people in Reniassance festivals pccurring in Brotain also speak with faked British accents, or do they ise faked French/Iralian accents? 1 year ago:
Their source is linguistic history. The English decided that the letter R only exists if it’s surrounded by vowels in the late 18th/ early 19th century.

The team used data from the CAnadian NIRISS Unbiased Cluster Survey (CANUCS)
