Not sure if your information is outdated or if you’re using a different definition of federate, but this blog post says they have support for a degree of federation: https://bsky.social/about/blog/02-22-2024-open-social-web

What are you trying to accomplish by saying this? Do you want people to give up? Hope does not stop people from making things better. If anything, it gives you the strength to carry on. It’s not too late. Trump simply doesn’t have the backing to do anything to the Constitution if he wanted to - there’s not enough red in house or senate to propose an amendment (it takes 2/3,) and not even half of the states have a red enough legislature to ratify it unless it’s actually reasonable (it takes 3/4.) So he can do some damage, yes, but we are not at the tipping point. Democracy isn’t going anywhere.

Linux machines don’t crash unexpectedly, because if they do, it’s your fault for configuring it wrong and you should have expected it.

“This is your pilot speaking. There’s some turbulence up ahead. I’m gonna try to dodge it. Hold onto something.”

Sir! Excuse me, sir!

I’d say option 3. Personally, I don’t care if random websites get my IP among a list of hundreds of others, and if someone wants to keep their IP hidden from strangers, they should be using a VPN before browsing the net anyways. It’d also be nice not to have to open another instance when I come to a post with a broken image that I want to see, but that’s not hugely important to me.

If it were an instance specifically for privacy enthusiasts, that’d be a different story, but this is a general-purpose instance, and option 3 seems to be what’s best for both general users and the server itself.

They let you dump the water out, keep the bottle, and refill it at the bottle filling stations once you’re inside.

You’re not allowed to bring nail trimmers? I did…

For 1, that’s why you say “Format your answer in this exact sentence: The number of bytes required (rounded up) is exactly # bytes., where # is the number of bytes.” And then regex for that sentence. What could go wrong?

Also, it can do math somewhat consistently if you let it show its work, but I still wouldn’t rely on it as a cog in code execution. It’s not nearly reliable enough for that.

The long-awaited sequel to “how to spot a polymorphed dragon.”

Yeah, me neither. The place looks like it might have been cool when I was a kid, though.

It got reuploaded here, didn’t it?

Human reaction time is ~0.25 seconds.
At 20 mph, you’re going ~29 ft per second, so you go ~7.3 ft before you can react.
At 25 mph, that’s ~37 ft per second, so ~9.2 ft before you can react.

The internet says a good car can break at about 15 f/s^2.
At 29 f/s, that comes out to a stopping distance of ~28 ft.
At 37 f/s, that’s ~46 ft.

So Anne, who’s annoying for some reason, needs a total of ~35 ft to stop just before hitting the child.
Norman needs ~9 ft to start decelerating, so by the time he reaches the 35 ft mark (after ~26 ft of hitting the brakes,) it’s been a total of ~0.98 seconds, and he is going ~26 f/s, which is ~18 miles per hour.

I would legitimately do this if calories weren’t a concern.

A day is all I can make a single handful of candy corn last.

I guess most of the size of a USB drive is just handle, isn’t it? Especially those models where you can retract the plug like that.

Yes. I believe this is what the SCP committee would call a memetic hazard.

As an elf, I wouldn’t feel qualified to answer that.
