40(35?) should be the bottom for skateboarding, and Pattycake recovers once one has or is trusted with kids.

Hell, a 16-17yo that’s still willing to play is god-teir older sibling, and the good ones only get cooler with age.

Why in God’s Green Earth is the number-line backwards, and the negatives, on the right-hand side?

I think the servers got an update or something. Lemmy is beautiful, and I’m more happy that its getting updates than I am concerned that an update introduced a bug with an easy-enough work-around.

On the other hand, maybe you and I just accidentally touched the drop-down and happened to create this issue for each of ourselves on the same day. Oh, and I happened to find your post before hitting this issue myself. Stranger things have happened.

Its part of the web-page, next to/under the text-entry box. Normally, it should say “Select language \/” … but yeah, you’ve now confirmed its not because you used a bad word or anything like so. I’m not aware of many communities that even have such filters.

EDIT: Check the literal language-setting on your comment editor. I just ran-into this in another thread, and found mine had been changed to:

~~I would copy and re-post. Leave a comment about why on the original, then delete the original post. The admins/mods will still be able to see that, so if they get curious about the re-post, they shouldn’t need to contact you in order to figure it out.

Alternately, re-post in another (related) community hosted elsewhere(another instance), then cross-post that to the original community.~~

I mean, if the edge is sharp enough, the thickness of the rest hardly matters. As for the need for repeated attempts as-specefied, I think God says it best:

I don’t want them afraid of being caught-out in public. I want them afraid of being murdered in their beds, in their mcmansions, of having rattlesnakes dumped in the air vents of their bunkers. Catch them when they are trying to flee the country, absolutely, but frankly, most aren’t worth the spectacle and resources of a guillotine, or transporting them to such.

I’m not interested in educating people whose mode of being should not exist. For those worth educating, the deterrent of a guillotine is a comical hassle versus a bullet to the head - there’s good reason modern revolutions use the latter.

Sorry to say, your #16 sheet-metal plus a couple 2x6’s on either side with bolts is not heavy enough nor strong enough to consistently and repeatedly do the job on the scale required. 16guage is about as rigid as a wet noodle. I would go with 1/8", 3/16" or even 1/4inch sheet metal.

However, please, do NOT let my critique discourage you from building and using this demonstrator repeatedly until you can crowd-source the necessary repairs and upgrades.

Personally, I don’t care if having their vertebra repeatedly used to sound the flimsiest gong possible makes a few billionaires last moments that much more painful and humiliating.

It is worth mentioning though, the French Revolution did not have access to semi-auto, reliable, firearms, while both bullets and guns are, today, both plentiful and cheap.

Agreed.

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head with “contiguity”, and that alone makes this look so wrong to me. I mean, including Mississippi, Louisiana and West Virginia? China’s Entire Coast, but NOT Taiwan?

Which 50%? Not the top x economies it takes to add-up to at least 50%, so, random countries/states/provinces that happen to add up to 50% … ?

California

Doesn’t include the world’s fourth-largest economy … so what’s the criteria here?

… but I’m not here to sympathise with either of them?

You’re describing the DNC. What’s shown in the pic is, instead, some sort of genuine opposition party at work.

Can’t happen soon enough. The irrelavence, not neccessarilly all the “o m gee they out-number us!!” non-sense. Let’s hope they have a better time of it than India, but its not looking good, thanks to … US and European interference!

Latex porn is no more/less kinky to me than anything else, but damn am I never going to see it the same again.

Seems like a better fit for lemmynsfw.com

Jesus, I had convinced myself that was Green Beans or Pea Pods, but no, you’re right.

Sadly, in most mythos, ridiculously good looks are a pre-requisite. I’m glad you have your own ideas, but I doubt the fiction is thoroughly saturated with that concept in a world where vampires exist and would have contributed no-small-part to the zeitgeist on purpose or accident, simply by nature of their long lives. On the other hand, I didn’t call myself ugly or anything.
