we named our first electric car “White Fire” as an hommage to the launch roller coaster “Blue Fire” in the theme park Europa Park (Germany) near where we live.

In January we gave back the white car to the leasing company and got a gray one, which is now named “Greyfire”.

Nice that’s also exactly how I browse Lemmy, so much variety compared to only focusing on communities you subscribed to.

I watched a video (Invidious) yesterday detailing the type of coins they used before 1971 in the UK and its empire, and it was actually insane.

1 Pound = 20 Shillings = 240 Pennies, with coins for 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 6 pennies, 1, 2, 2.5, 5 Shillings and banknotes for the Pounds, and each of these coins had 5 or more different names

How the eff do you gain 400 lbs?! That’s roughly 180kg!

the customary unit for body weight is, however, the stone https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=1+stone+(unit)

Salt is pretty good, but yeah, mayo it is

“teledildonics” is the most glorious word i’ve ever heard :D

my reply was more a comment on Adam’s nickname ^^

Yup, can’t eat the A of an artificial intelligence

I would play the piano more, read all the science fiction (Azimov, Herbert, HG Wells, Orwell, Bradbury, AC Clarke, UK Le Guin…), play Boardgames & Magic the Gathering with my friends, probably start making content for youtube or twitch, make pastry everyday, do gardening and building projects around the house…

The question is, do I have any budget to do all that, or are my basic needs covered but I can’t choose where to live, what I eat etc?

Honestly, I don’t find any satisfaction in work because I love doing so many things and would rather do one of them for money.

Gute Wortwahl, ich beipflichte

You posted a couple of duplicates, if you care to tidy up a bit 🙏

Same thing happened with the 101 Dalmatians 20 years ago:

Animal shelters around the country have reported sharp increases in the number of unwanted Dalmatian dogs this year, many of them given to children as gifts last Christmas after the release of Disney’s remake of the movie ‘‘101 Dalmatians.’’ Although nationwide figures are not available, some shelters say they have seen the number of abandoned dogs more than double and that they fear the problem will only grow worse with the new ‘‘101 Dalmatians’’ television program on ABC

She’s a Siamese chocolate point. In Siamese cats, there is a mutation for the genes of an enzyme (Tyrosinase) that inhibits the production of melanin above a certain temperature. Where the body temperature is lower (extremities, airways), that enzyme is deactivated and melanin is produced, allowing the fur to darken.

Siamese kitten are born completely white, as their temperature is kept high everywhere in the womb, and rapidly start to color after birth.

I would save my cat every time. I don’t value human life above her life. She’s been there for me for the past 15 years and helped me through the darkest times.

How would the new time zones work in practice? Wenche Pedersen, the mayor of Vadsø who authored the letter, is unsure.

“We haven’t thought a lot about that” she said. “The clock will go from 12 to 13… and we have to see how this will go. I don’t think they’re going to say yes so we haven’t thought about all the details.”

Huh. Great idea.

Ow didn’t see that coming. I’d go out of my way to put content that’d make someone like that rage right in front of their face then.

Talk to her or play a card game instead of scrolling on your phone when you are with her, she won’t be there forever! Also she’s 4 times your age, she probably has seen some shit, you won’t shock granny with anime boobs :p
