It connects to the line and the center tap enables split phase residential service. But you do realize this is a costume made of foam, that just models the real thing right?

But the percent changes are negative. Look at the axis labels.

It does. Installing them is intentionally obtuse and is buried in the “share” menu.

I don’t think it’s about lingering, I think there are just a lot more joints than cigarettes on fire at any given time.

Did you read the article? It doesn’t seem like you read the article. Typical of a mouth-breathing zealot. Have you at least actually read your holy book from cover to cover?

I’m starting to realize that some people will literally upvote anything even if the don’t understand it at all.

China could very well be the redistribution point to elsewhere in the world. When you’re the global hub of shipping it’s much easier for a few bonus goods to make their way around the system.

The vast, vast majority of users of an image embedding site do not have a user account and don’t even visit the site itself.

I don’t think I follow. How does collecting that information help reduce kids accessing porn? I just don’t see the link.
- Comment on PSA: Stop using Imgur for now 2 days ago:
You’re operating under the assumption that putting an “are you old enough?” checkbox on a website would ever change the behavior of a child. That’s completely unrealistic and disconnected from reality. Perhaps if children need to have a controlled exposure to the internet, it is the parents’ responsibility to foster a safe environment and monitor the child. You know, since that actually does something.

I don’t understand why a meme posting website should be required to check your ID, and I’m trying to understand why someone thinks it’s a good idea to require such insanity.
- Comment on PSA: Stop using Imgur for now 2 days ago:
I could have been more clear, I meant when you post a link to your self-hosted image to lemmy, and all the various federated lemmy instances ask for it all at once. Sounds to me like it’s not an issue at all :)

Where are you hosting your custom VPN? I assume some kind of server rented from a data center. Which means your IP address will be from a data center, not a residential or mobile address.
- Comment on PSA: Stop using Imgur for now 3 days ago:
No, the entire internet absolutely does not ask that. Perhaps you meant the commercial for-profit internet?

Flip that around: why is it bad?

Why does a jpg server need age verification?
- Comment on PSA: Stop using Imgur for now 3 days ago:
Imgur hosts pictures of naked people. Pictures of naked people are illegal to send to the UK. How is that not a law saying Imgur can’t operate in the UK?

I just loaded it through a Comcast connection, so it’s definitely not an IP block or route issue. I don’t use Comcast’s dns though and I’m completely unwilling to do so even for test purposes so you could still be right.
- Comment on PSA: Stop using Imgur for now 3 days ago:
How does that handle the initial flood of requests when every federated instance asks for a freshly posted image all at the same time? Or is that a smaller problem than I am imagining?

This doesn’t seem like it’s Imgur’s fault for trying to avoid prison. Perhaps more fire is needed in your local MP’s home?

- Comment on Once again, looking for PS2 game suggestions! 3 days ago:
Ratchet and Clank is the best, and the story is best experienced in order but the first game is a bit clunky so starting on the second game isn’t the worst idea. I personally started with Up Your Arsenal! then got hooked on the series and backfilled.

I wonder if it’s one shitty person causing all the problems.

Yes and no. Not everybody knows about this organization and lists the library they made on this map, but most do!

Can I donate to one or respect their choices of content? Am I acting suspicious if I stand there to “browse the stacks” and see if there is anything that interests me?
Literally all those things are encouraged! It’s in fact expected for others to donate, because otherwise the library would slowly empty itself out through attrition/non-returns.

Also, did you know that if you train hard enough you can have a kidney orgasm? And a lung orgasm?

But sometimes I also discover the absolute best trash. For example, without my local little free library, I never would have learned about Sexual Kung Fu which is totally a real thing and not made up by a white guy that visited Asia for a few years that sells self-help coaching now.
Imagine, until that book I had gone my entire life without knowing that penises and vaginas have front gates and back gates.

In my part of California they can’t even pull you over for a missing license plate because the cops were being so racist they basically outlawed traffic stops entirely.
