Ranch water made from Topo Chico lime + Pantalones Tequila. But I prefer the black peppery hints of Don Julio, so I tried dropping a few whole black peppercorns in the bottle of Pantalones, and I think it actually got the flavor closer to where I wanted it. Or maybe it was in my head.
Anyways, cheers!
Oh, that Fremont. Like, troll bridge Fremont, not old Vegas Fremont.
I think you’re going to lose a few people with that first number being off by a decimal place, but the substance of what you said is still relevant and gives insight about the Lemmy experience right now.
I hope this doesn’t just dissolve into hand-waving and general dismissal based on “he said / she said”. Someone call the bluff and let’s see the cards face-up.
I think everywhere you’ve posted this has been relevant to those particular threads. I appreciate you carrying that torch.

I hope they keep pursuing this inquiry:
At the time of writing, it is unclear whether these virtual impersonations resulted in any criminal investigations or charges against US-based victims whose IP addresses were hijacked as part of the 911 S5 botnet. WIRED is awaiting a response from the Department of Justice regarding this concern.
Good point, I think you’re right. I’ve probably been making an unsupported leap in logic there.
Based on one of your comments clarifying what you’re wondering, I don’t know that this helps you in what you’re looking for, but the “OMG particle” came to my mind. It was traveling at such high energy when it hit our atmosphere that…
If the proton originated from a distance of 1.5 billion light years, it would take approximately 1.71 days in the reference frame of the proton to travel that distance.
…
The energy of the particle was some 40 million times that of the highest-energy protons that have been produced in any terrestrial particle accelerator.
…
In the center-of-mass frame of reference (which moved at almost the speed of light in our frame of reference), the products of the collision [with a particle in our atmosphere ] would therefore have had around 2900 TeV of energy, enough to transform the nucleus into many particles, moving apart at almost the speed of light even in this center-of-mass frame of reference. As with other cosmic rays, this generated a cascade of relativistic particles as the particles interacted with other nuclei.
I don’t know if that cascade is the same as the Cherenkov radiation it produced, but that radiation is how they detected this particle, and it’s interesting a.f.
[It is] emitted when a charged particle (such as an electron) passes through a dielectric medium (such as distilled water) at a speed greater than the phase velocity (speed of propagation of a wavefront in a medium) of light in that medium. … Its cause is similar to the cause of a sonic boom…
I.e., (layman’s understanding here) the particle, having a dual particle- and wave-like nature, is propagating through the vacuum of space “close” to the max speed of propagation of causality itself. As it encounters a medium, our atmosphere, it is going faster than causality itself can possibly propagate through that medium. But the energy is still there and isn’t going to just vanish, so it has to split out into multiple particles that would, with their fraction of the original energy, then be able to propagate through the medium. Or something amazing like that?
Edit: My layman’s understanding of Cherenkov radiation requires a bigger disclaimer, like a strike-through. :)
Am I understanding this correctly? NOLA was arguing that, since they tax satellite radio for listeners in their city, they should be able to tax internet streams for the same listeners? If so, I feel like the two things should be comparably applicable (if it weren’t for the ITFA), but also fuck all the way off, NOLA government. Get fucked, seriously.
I hitched my horse to just what I consider the basics–zip and unzip–and that has made it easy for me. But I’ve been stuck on those.
Extract anything:
tar xf <archive_file>
Create a tbz2 archive:
tar cjf <archive_file.tbz2> <stuff to put in it>
(And tossing in a -v is pretty universal, if that’s your thing.)
Some day, instead of commenting on a reddit Lemmy post, I think I’ll Google how to tell it to use .xz.
Ok, you know what? Today is finally that day. It’s just capital -J instead of lower-case -j! That’s easy enough to remember, I guess.
What would give them standing? They’d have to be an entity protected by the constitution to claim that protection was harmed. Is it this (Wikipedia)?
TikTok Ltd was incorporated in the Cayman Islands and is based in both Singapore and Los Angeles. source
I guess I’ve never thought about what makes an entity have rights here. Buckingham Palace couldn’t just open shop here and start suing our government, right?
Eating plants isn’t more expensive than eating meat, just eating plant-based attempts at mimicking meat.
This referred to CUNY a few times. I thought that, City University of New York, was a different institution, and I got the impression the article was referring to Columbia University as CUNY. Maybe I missed something?
That’s exactly what I did with it.
(Spoiler in case anyone wants to guess first.)
This is at >!Emo’s East in Austin, Texas. (I guess now they just call it Emo’s.)!<.
Glad to hear the Lights Out campaign is working. I hope more people pay attention. All Texans can appreciate living in a region so important to so many species, and taking care of Texas means taking care of an amazing chunk of nature. Turning off unneeded lights by 11pm is such an easy way to do that.

edit: TIL! Thanks for reminding me that if something seems far out, chances are that my understanding just hasn’t caught up.
Source code escrow is a thing, too. I’ve only seen it in the context of (as I understood it) protection against going out of business, but perhaps it could apply to discontinued products, as well?
