It’s in development btw

I have never met anyone who has read Alastair Reynolds’ Revelation Space series. It’s one of my favourite sci-fi’s and I can’t even get someone I know to read it, everyone thinks it’s boring :)

How come no one mentioned it yet?

Guys, check out this short film :)

This is amazing :)

Of course they do, better than ever actually. Google OpenType ligatures, for example. You can even use those on the web using CSS.

Some fonts have hundreds of different ligatures.

Both are broken as far as I know. First one hasn’t updated for years, and recent reviews for the second one claim it crashes on startup.

Are there any good iOS Tor browsers? All that I’ve seen are either shit or require some insane subscription.

Idk, that’s more of a “not yet finished” thing rather than “failed” imo

I guess that depends on your definition of a flamethrower. To me, a flamethrower is primarily a weapon. And what you are describing is a roofing torch. Googling it now, I can’t seem to find anyone calling them “roofing flamethrowers”. Flame gun — sometimes — but never actually a flamethrower.

So the legality is probably an issue with not being specific enough with the tool/weapon differentiation. I don’t think actual flamethrowers should be legal.

We were doing stupid shit with regular propane torches as kids. Doesn’t mean those were flamethrowers tho.

That’s a stupid reason for banning people, but weren’t those just propane torches? You can buy one at any hardware store and tape it to a nerf gun to make a similar toy. While they do “throw flames”, I wouldn’t really call those flamethrowers, which usually utilize liquid fuel and are actually weapons.

Same. I’ve only ever seen this error after some time of inactivity, and reloading the page always helps.

Oh right, didn’t consider some may remain sealed, that’s cool.

Out of weird drinks, I’m betting on kykeon, an LSD-like psychedelic drink made from ergot-infected barley :)

Considering that it sank like 2000 years ago, would there be any detectable molecular traces left to figure out amphoras’ contents? Or would everything be destroyed by now?

At this rate, he’ll also copy musk’s advertiser turnaround and changes in company valuation

His pigments are pretty cool. I’ve used several over the years and quite liked them.

How often do you take road trips? The vast majority of trips taken by car are within 20–30 km. An average EV range can easily cover most people’s daily driving needs.

You know scientists always trying to make things happen but never asking if they “Should”?

I’ve never seen someone use this as an argument, only as a joke. Can you provide some examples of the things that you think scientists tried to make happen without thinking whether they should or not?

Also, how is user-specific trust at play here? I never even look at usernames, instead I will upvote or ignore posts based on their content. I don’t think you can really ease Lemmy/kbin users into believing some divisive nonsense that easily.

Mostly because august hasn’t started yet.
