Because they didn't actually live in caves that often.

The image of these people living in caves arises from the fact that caves are where the preponderance of artifacts have been found from European Stone Age cultures. However, this most likely reflects the degree of preservation that caves provide over the millennia, rather than an indication of them being a typical form of shelter. Until the last glacial period, the great majority of humans did not live in caves, as nomadic hunter-gatherer tribes lived in a variety of temporary structures, such as tents[4] and wooden huts (e.g., at Ohalo). A few genuine cave dwellings did exist, however, such as at Mount Carmel in Israel.>

An accident assumes no one was at fault. The driver broke at least one law by driving too close to a cyclist, it was not an accident.

The reason you take your life in to your hands when you go out of your house is because people flippantly break the law while driving. True accidents are uncommon.

From what The Dude said initially it's to avoid having to deal with the legal side of hosting content that might be illegal. In that instance it being hosted here is the problem.

How do you get them to put rules in place that stop them from being corrupt. It's a crappy downward slope.

I honestly think this is the worst use case for a 3d printer. The part isn't improved by printing. You can buy the part easily. The cost of modelling time and printing is more than the replacement. There's a decent chance the replacement part would have arrived quicker than the print took.... Sorry to be a bore, it's better than an octopus or another benchy, I'll give you that.

I don't want to be preachy but I'd like to take this opportunity to draw everyone's attention to the sustainability of rare hardwoods.

I could talk at length about the socioeconomic impact of rare hardwoods as well as the environmental impact, but to keep it short, the wood database has a good article on the sustainability of darkwoods.

Another useful method is drilling out the hole and filling it with matchsticks and wood glue. Let it dry, cut it flat and rescrew the hole. It takes a while longer to dry but I think it might be more secure than hot glue.

The article doesn't say what happened. Without more information, the outcome could be fair. Arbitrarily putting people in prison for an accident isn't going to solve anything.

If the thought of a social media platform not existing gives you anxiety then I think you need to take a break from it. I don't know you or your life but I don't think spending a lot of time on these platforms is mentally healthy regardless.

Bad actors gonna act. How do we determine a council of trusted users? The idea of the agora is to avoid power in the hands of the few because those few might be or become the problem.

I'm not saying your argument is wrong but if someone wants to manipulate a community bad enough, they will find a way.

When the community it big enough to worry about voter manipulation then there will be resources to counter it.

I don't get why people are so impatient. The amount of users on this instance that exploding heads is affecting in minute. The rules on the vote say a week and, in the discussion, people have been pointing out that defederation is not the only option, the discussion has been valuable.

This isn't life threatening so maybe just chill out and let it play its course. If it's stressing you out so much feel free to do as your username suggests and quit this instance because afaik this is an instance for people with some level of patience.

Thanks, your post makes sense. Will Lemmy have the opportunity to adapt to do what kbin does that it can't, or is that a ground up change?

In the UK it's very unusual unless it's football or royal related. The union flag, the Welsh flag and the Scottish flag are ok most of the time but the England flag is seen as being a bit racist.

I also don't get them on Jerboa. What instance are you on? I think that communities wont show up in your instance unless someone has already accessed them. If you search directly for the ones in the post above, they should show up. I think you have to put an exclamation mark in front of the term. E.g.
!weather@community.xy

Hope that works.

It's not just weight but friction. Depending on the flooring you could add a rubber pad to the bottom of the piece to help. If you do go the cavity route, steel washers are pretty cheap and would be heavy, or as someone else suggested, some lead weights will work.
