And now the cropping is fixed, so the comments deriding the cropping don't make sense anymore.

My friend had light switches that glowed with a bright blue LED glow.

I couldn't stand it. I prefer to sleep in the actual darkness.

Reddit never banned me, and yet here I am.

Maybe there's something missing in your analysis?

Cheese with Japanese curry? Sounds pretty whacky, whatever shape it's in.

Also there's an elegant solution to keeping some rice visible out of the curry and it doesn't involve any extra ingredients.

Those caps are meant to affect the way you read it.

In this post, the capital letters (plus the "How To") suggest a title, like a book or something.

Yeah some of the libraries near me have a selection of video games on the shelves. At least one even has board games.

I love libraries.

I dug up the actual paper (Cook, 2004) and it turns out the bicycle was symmetrical... and, in fact, entirely virtual.

The virtual bicycle used for simulation

It's a plot of a computer simulation, rather than records from a real-world physical experiment.

A bicycle is composed of four rigid bodies: the two wheels, the frame, the front fork (the steering column). Each adjacent pair of parts is connected with a joint that allows rotation along a defined axis, and the wheels are connected to the ground by requiring that their lowest point must have zero height and no horizontal motion (no sliding).

So the simulation has a lot of simplifications from reality, and the picture tells us more about the simulation model than it tells us about the real world. It is a pretty picture, though.

Here's the paper reference:

Cook, M. 2004. It takes two neurons to ride a bicycle.

(I couldn't get it from the Cook's Caltech site, but I found a copy elsewhere.)

I downloaded the game and its source code, and I have new information for you.

There is an upgrade (this game calls it an "extra") that lets the ball break through that middle column of bricks.

The extra you want looks like a ball with a lightning bolt on each side. Something like:

⚡🪩⚡

It seems to be called METAL or ENERGY BALL.

What is this and how is it relevant to the community you're posting in?

According to the PieFed developers page:

The API for third-party apps (frontends, bots, etc) is 95% the same as the Lemmy API.

I don't know if there's anything special that Voyager needs to do. Maybe it even works already!

It sounds more like you want to create a new community on an existing instance.

Setting up a new community can be as easy as clicking the new community button and filling in the fields.

Setting up a whole instance of Lemmy (like lemmy.world, which you're on, or aussie.zone, which I'm on) is way more involved than you're probably thinking - buying a domain name, figuring out hosting, installing the Lemmy software, and a whole lot more.

Actually, yeah, kinda?

Like, there are only so many one-syllable words. Even fewer words that are just a single letter.

Generally you don't want to waste them on complicated, niche concepts that only come up rarely.

Color codes will pass through pipes just like any other output.

In this case, your grep is being smarter than you want and actually parsing the incoming color codes itself.

You can try a simpler program like head, tail, or even sed -n /ii/p to see it for yourself.

You can also control GNU grep's color processing with --color but you may not find exactly what you seek.
