No. He should have had a backwards facing lance, attached to the frame.

it would do just the same fitting just one battery in the proper orientation
This.
If it’s in parallel anyway, it doesn’t make a difference, slanting it like that, except maybe, making a worse quality connection, that may disconnect with the cell wiggling. - Comment on Grieve with me 2 weeks ago:
I see. So I’ll have to buy one again 😒.
Well, my fault for keeping it on the handlebar while riding at noon

- Comment on Does the average person know markdown? 2 weeks ago:
Probably doesn’t follow the spec very closely.
It doesn’t require you to put a double space in the end off a line to get to the next. This is similar to a lot of other implementations you see on web pages.
But it does at least follow through with single level ordered and unordered lists (bullets and numbering) and even automatically adds a bullet when you press Shift+Enter
Also, single line code and code blocks, work.
Then there is the usual italics and bold and even a quote block.It also converts most of them while you type, instead of you having to wait until sending it, which is better than UIs that don’t even have a preview button. I like Preview buttons.

OIC. I should have thought about that.
And here I was considering making this the default way of doing a strikethrough.On the other hand, perhaps we should update the screen readers to make that work. Maybe it can be added as a category of stuff that is to be explained separately.
The least I can do is install a screen reader and know what it does with this.

No, Restart does not work.

Well, it would really just be a 2 - 10 second read, depending upon how fast you read, so…
On the other hand, do you consider time taken imagining the story, as part of the reading time, because I know a book that would have a months long reading time in that case.

But what if the book were titled, “Here’s how I became a millionaire”

Just don’t run their shitty silicon burners on your system and get some good stuff.
Support teams that are willing to make builds for the latest Arch release (and tell me too if you find any :P).I have narrowed down my “to pay” list to GoG + Linux games, only problem being, since they are not open source, we still depend upon them rebuilding the binaries for the latest systems. Otherwise, we need to then keep an older version of Ubuntu for it. Really wish GoG pushed Debian as a standard for those cases (for old games which the dev might not rebuild), because Ubuntu ages worse than Debian, when out of LTS.

I normally like GitLab issues as a place for bug reports.
A FAQ and an old style forum works pretty well for help.
In fact, just make a community on Lemmy for the forum part and you’ll have what’s required.GitHub also has this new “Discussions” thing which should do some good, for those that want to stay on GitHub

- Comment on Choose a number, 1-5! 1 month ago:
This seems to fit all the points I put somewhere else in this thread.
- Nice, glancing angles on the teeth
- Adequate distance between teeth (and unlike mine, the surface between the teeth has been properly smoothed out, making cleaning easier)
- Nice girth on the handle, making hard presses into the object doable without bending the neck
- Despite the girth, the handle shape with properly defined edges, reduces the
DEXrequirement of the user- On top of that, you have chamfers and fillets on those edges, reducing pressure on the skin (which I didn’t even think to ask for)
- None of the form-over-function bs as is done in 2
This is even better than the fork that I have on my table right now.
Though that kink on the back end of the handle seems to trigger my OCD.
- Comment on Choose a number, 1-5! 1 month ago:
I don’t like the bulging teeth in the sides of 5, but I guess that depends more upon what you are eating with it.
I prefer teeth with as acute an angle as viable, so for the front part, I’d go with 2.
The space between the teeth also matters:
- it decides how soft and brittle an object you can pierce with it, without the object breaking down.
- as it decides the variety of objects you can use to clean them.
The fork I use has ~1.5 times the space between teeth as 2
As you said, the handle in 2 is a no. I would be fine with either of 1 and 5 for that.
Though I like 5 for the neck girth of the handle in the 3rd dimension, which would make it last longer and be better for harder stuff, the oval shape seems like it would cause more unwanted turning during use, requiring a higher Dexterity for handling.
While the handle for 3 looks like it would be fine for use, it seems like it would break in ~6 months.
