Naw, he’d play something more incomprehesible to the 90s, like skrillex or the later evolutions of the genre.

11·7 days agoSEO became a thing when business started making its way onto the web. There was no profit motive when the web was an academic platform, corporate presence online ended that. SEO was a symptom to that arrival.
I got a Fairphone 4, thing’s survived many a fall. It’s a Shame that fairphone doesn’t ship spare parts to the US, makes sourcing those parts much harder.
No you don’t, Oprah.
Time to do some civic vigilantism it looks. Buy a reflective yellow spraypaint and give that speedbump its caution lines back.
The most common modifications cities are doing to roads that are easy to speed on is to add either:
- sidewalk extensions, narrowing the road at the most crossed point;
- speed bumps, as seen here;
- and/or chicanes, which break up the straight and require a driver to be more active in their steering.
All these techniques are effective at slowing cars down on straight roads.

The frontend is the portion of a webserver you see. It’s the website after the server has done processing everything it needs to in the background.
Instances in this case means a webserver which is apart of the fediverse, more specifically one that uses the lemmy API in this case.
So tldr, a lemmy server could use tesseract in its code to have a prettier website displayed for users.
It absolutely is 1/4th of what remains. Rachel will be left with 9 and Tracey will have 7. They’re not going to say ‘what remains of the quarter tracy took’ because it’s nonsensical. Tracy took a quarter so there’s nothing that remains of the quarter tracy took. they’re not going to mean ‘there is only one quarter left and tracy takes It’ either, because that also is nonsense. The only meaning that makes any possible sense, then, is ‘tracy takes one quarter of what remains’, which is 12/4 = 3. Tracy takes 3, that’s the only answer that makes logical sense.
The ‘remaining’ quarter means a quarter of what is remaining of Rachel’s pile. The phrasing is odd but there really isn’t any way to misconstrue it without turning the meaning into nonsense that you can’t do math on.
A less confusing angle of it

I got this exact feeling when watching ‘A Few Good Men’

28·3 months agoAh that explains it the best. Now I feel like Argentina has more claim than the UK.

45·3 months agoHow many people actually live in the Falklands? Looks like there’s mostly nothing on that island. Edit: Looked it up, it’s about 3,600. So an incredibly small population. Census shows over 60% of that population is labelled ‘immigrant’, so non-indigenous.
I know Falklanders want to remain in UK control majority-wise. I also somewhat get why Argentina wouldn’t want what is essentially a potential base of operations off their coast (though realistically they couldn’t really do anything about it even if they did have sovereignty over it).
EDIT: as mentioned in another person’s comment, Argentina also wants it for the fishing rights. The fishing rights area is fairly sizeable, but not, like, HUGE

At the same time, i can’t really make sense of why the hell have the british fought to keep ahold of the Falklands. Maybe just because the british just love collecting shit that means nothing to them but have major significance to other nations’ people? I don’t really get it.
Edit: someone mentioned that the UK wants to keep the falklands in order to maintain claim to Antartica. Weird but okay. Have not looked into that one.

23·3 months agoI don’t know about government/societal consensus being the standard by which we teach. I’d prefer expert consensus on subjects being taught more. As a US citizen, Governments and societies are often bigoted and delusional.

3·4 months agoAlgorism outpaced the abacus for a reason, and the slide rule outpaced algorism for a reason as well, but they’re all good skills to have some practice with. Have you ever had to do long division on an abacus? It ain’t pretty.

Also, if you can do the thing the app does on paper, you should just do it on paper and can save the computer for more difficult tasks like the old-timers that paved the way for our modern-day laziness.
Use the public library, also.
I dunno, man. Seems like all the convenient options at this point require you to capitulate to some asshole trying to jack up prices and deny payouts, and the only option now is to take high roads that are unpaved.

Can we get the context of the image as well? I wave many questions.
