Cunts gonna cunt.

You could argue that 25% for sync is quite something, and almost double that of the next largest competitor.

If there is a god, it takes a special sadist to allow the amount of torment present on earth.

So I prefer to believe there's no higher spirit ravelling in the suffering of all creatures rather than there being a malevolent creator watching with glee as we die a slow, painful death.

Yes I had stripes, cubes, whole steaks, burger mince and whatnot, and just don't enjoy it in whichever fashion.

Wow, they started inventorizing products after only 17 years in operations. Highly efficient!

Because Russia blew up domestic infrastructure, so satellite based communication looked like a decent alternative.

And in the next corporate social responsibility report:

We had excellent feedback from our customers related to the reduction of whatever that was, already forgot, with a 100% approval rate, showing that our green agenda is fully un track and highly appreciated.

It's been 3 days. As a former prison inmate, they most certainly had his DNA on file.

It's not that unusual. I work in the medical device industry and we need to do quite some testing with early prototypes for all sorts of stuff like biocompatibility, cytotoxicity, hemocompatibility as well as pressure tests, drop tests, leakage testing and whatnot. Each and every one of those prototypes is hand made and therefore the "only one".

Even if they pass one test with flying colors and no visible damages, we couldn't use them in another test because they need to be factory new to satisfy regulatory protocols.

Normally we don't ask for those back, we are more interested in the ones that failed a particular test.

Now we wouldn't want our prototypes to be auctioned off, naturally, so the test centers we work with have to ensure they'll be destroyed (we have contracts and NDAs in place). But not wanting a prototype back after a third party played around with it is way more common than you think.

He knows who's buying 70% of his cars. And that's not Taiwan.

Nothing. She has a login on my system and can access pretty much anything already, minus emails and dropbox I believe. But there's nothing worth hiding either.

Linux loves dual boot, windows is the problem and always has been. But as long as you install windows first and Linux second, there's no problem whatsoever, the installer detects your installation and automatically adds multiboot. Installing windows after Linux means that you will have to restore the bootloader.

Not the OP, but I live in China.

Check out for example the Xpeng (Xiao Peng) G6 and P7, the Qiantu K50, Zeekr 009, Lynk & Co. 03, Aiways U5 and the Dongfeng Mengshi M-Hero 917 (now if that's not HALO inspired, I don't know...).

This is something that many admins and mods have been discussing for a while now, and I believe it would be an important feature for lemm.ee as well. Essentially, I would like to limit certain activities to users which meet specific requirements (maybe account age, amount of comments, etc). These activities might include things like image uploads, community creation, perhaps even private messages.

Sounds like the old karma requirements some reddit subs had. While I'm not against that, it would restrict locally registered users more so than others who are posting on lemm.ee communities when their host instance has no such system in place. I'm aware that if they post images those would be uploaded to their home instance and linked here with the patch you mentioned above, but the downside is that local users might feel inconvenienced more so than others. Not saying it's a bad idea though, if we are thinking from a "protect lemm.ee" angle first and foremost.

Automated ML based NSFW scanning for all uploaded images

You might want to reach out to the dev of Sync for Lemmy, ljdawson on !syncforlemmy@lemmy.world, he just implemented an anti-NSFW upload feature in the app to do his part. Essentially, Sync users currently can't post any kind of porn. While I don't think that the CP spammers were using his particular app, or any app to begin with, I do think it's a neat feature to have, but would make much more sense to run server-side.

How exactly is "active" measured?

Logged in? Commenting? Posting? Net time spent on Lemmy?

I feel like the metrics need to be a bit more refined to actually make a qualified statement.

Long term sustainability is going to be challenging. The Lemmy userbase is way smaller than reddit's regardless, and for 3.50 EUR one-off it will be challenging to cover future development efforts.

Disgusting. Hope the poster can be tracked and locked up.

Surprised there's no litter box.

Ribeyes can be nice, really depending on the particular piece of meat, but they can already be marbled beyond my liking. I eat my steaks rare, bordering on blue, so I want the meat to be on the leaner side since you don't render all the fat out in the cooking process.

When I make my own I'll usually go for picanha (rump cap), cut them into thick slices and grill them on the fat cap until it's rendering in the pan and then brown the meat just for half a minute on either side in the fat.

Exactly that. Nothing against a bit of marbling, or else the steak will just dry out when you put some heat to it, but if there's more fat than actual meat, I'm not impressed.
