1 hectoliter is 26.4 US gallons according to a handy conversion app I have, which Wikipedia says is equivalent to the UK’s historic wine gallon (because the UK in the past apparently changed the size of a gallon depending on what you were measuring).
Get that ADHD diagnosis a lot earlier!
I think they’d have a hard time defending some but not all of those. I’m sure many of the Redditors heavily involved in those subs, including the mods, have no idea, though!
Is she an actor or just a fan happy to get her picture with Rain Wilson? I’m assuming that’s not OP in the photo since OP is a fairly prolific sharer on Lemmy, but I suppose it could be.
The author’s conclusion has me wondering what would it take to build a really good new system? Could we make a paid version, at a cost users would find reasonable to grow to a large enough base, and one that is incentivized to find users the best links quickly? Unlike how Google has been moving in recent years
That would be amazing but I can’t imagine the owners of The Peanuts allowing that
Is there a specific model you’re talking about? I’m getting a lot of different results searching online and I’m not sure they’re the same. I’m not a fan of the can opener my wife has, though; its cuts are jagged and uneven and sometimes gets the outside dipping into the food.
I don’t want it to be a push thing, though, keep it optional, that someone only sees if they choose to look. Otherwise I could also just send emails like people did in the ’90s and ’00s, but I didn’t like how my inbox started filling up.
Is there something like a federated version of Facebook? I liked the premise in the early days, especially the early days of the timeline when it could actually be sorted chronologically. When I joined Facebook instead of the then-competing MySpace back in 2005 one of the things I liked was that it was pretty private; everything I did was only visible to the people I was friends with on the platform. I don’t even know how that would really work with federation since it seems like structurally everything kind of has to be public.
I guess what I’d like is something where my friends and family are easily connected, where I can share pictures/videos or links or just thoughts I have about whatever’s going on in the moment, but still have those only visible to the people I choose (including even adjusting that so some things are visible only to close family instead of all my friends, for example). And I want the same coming from my connections. I don’t want to see something else they commented on, I don’t want to see content from some friend-of-a-friend or group a friend follows, I don’t want to see content from total strangers or groups the platform just thinks I’ll like. Basically I just want Facebook like it was in the early days, before it started focusing on increasing engagement to drive ad revenue, when it was actually a kind of useful way to connect.
I do recommend everyone get a dash cam, though. Getting one installed isn’t necessary but can make for a nicer experience. If the shop you like offers them and they fit your budget that’s probably a good option to go with. There are lots of models out there with different features, but really as long as they record reliably and you can get the footage relatively easy that’s the most important factor. They’re generally not going to be able to read license plates beyond a short distance, but if they show that you didn’t run a red light or that you stayed in your lane, that’s really the most important thing in an accident.
In high school I took classes on Visual Basic, C++, and Java, and learned some ActionScript on my own, but I wouldn’t feel confident with any of them nowadays. I suppose I could still write a basic HTML 4 page, but CSS was always a weak point and I don’t think either of those really count as programming languages anyways.
I’d heard her name and apparently some songs but had never seen her before Argylle
Connecting the Georgias would unleash a power the world is not ready to experience.
I’ve seen dash cameras that claim to have features like lane departure but they’re absolute junk. To have those features work properly with a vehicle requires a lot of specific calibration and design work, and generally uses some small radar systems, which is why they need to come with the car from the factory. Even with a backup camera, an aftermarket is better than none, but an integrated camera with lines that help gauge distance and that turn with the steering wheel is so much nicer.
If those are the features you’re looking for you’ll probably be better off saving your money for a newer car with those features. None of them are necessary, but they can be a nice addition, and especially the safety features you hope to never need them but if you ever do and they save your life or save you from an accident at all, they’re really worth the money.
If you consider looking at a newer car, if you’re able to charge at home you might want to consider a Chevy Bolt EV or EUV. They stopped building them last year, but if you can still find one at a dealer they start under $30k with a lot of those features, and all are available for not much more. Like, the base model has forward collision warning, and if you get the higher trim it becomes forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and adaptive cruise control. And now you can get the $7500 tax credit applied right there at the dealer. Even buying used you can still get a tax credit from the federal government, whether at a dealer or private sale, but you might have to wait until you file your taxes to get the money back. I wound up in one for several weeks while my wife’s car was in the shop and was surprised at how good it was, especially considering the price. And charging at home meant my city driving cost per mile was 2¢/mile, while my wife’s Kia Soul was 14¢/mile on gas. The only drawbacks it had was paying to fast charge was more expensive than gas and slow by current standards (an hour), and the cup holder was slightly smaller than most cars. But if you can charge at your home and don’t go on long road trips where you’d have to charge every couple hours it could be an ideal fit.
What are the new things you’re wanting? Apple CarPlay/Android Auto? I don’t think you can add things like blind spot monitoring/forward collision warning/adaptive cruise control.
But usually I’m pausing a video to try to read text that appeared too briefly in the video!
I remember in high school kids practiced writing with Graffiti, even though most of us did not have a Palm Pilot, just in the hope that we’d be ready if we got one.
I’ve never been a fan of IPAs and don’t think I’ve ever bought one on its own, but I’ve enjoyed a lot of other local craft brews. I think we’ve had a few local breweries close, but others still open.
It still ends up being more work than I’d hoped for (which was 0), but certainly less than staying clean shaven. That and my wife really likes it are my two biggest reasons.
