i mean, can you get where you want to go, and back, by transit? if so it’s kilometers better than most american transit.

eta: wait, you’re talking rail specifically? then if you have any passenger rail, that’s already way better than most american cities.

possibly your client gets confused because its a mastodon, not lemmy, account? i was able to look him up just fine on his instance (but i wish i hadn’t).

i completely agree, though i hope that eventually we can settle on something like Cerabyte for long term archival storage.

my answer varies quite a bit depending on whether we mean tech that will be relegated to specific niche use cases and markets, tech that will no longer be produced at all, or tech that can’t be found any more, even used.

the first category could include a lot of things, like most of the other suggestions that have already been suggested here, but i don’t think there’s any chance of blu-ray discs or desktop computers being totally gone in that time frame. the second category will probably include small gasoline powered cars, at least in some countries. and the third category will probably include most standard incandescent or CFL light bulbs, but they might still exist in some niche applications.

thank you. until i got to your comment, i had no idea what was meant by ‘filters’

regarding your edit, it was hardly a perfect solution. he just bit his lip real hard. that was his message to himself. i think it’s mentioned a few paragraphs before he tells mcgonnagall about it. it is in there, but it is easy to miss on the first read through, to be sure.

i assure you, there is much weirder harry potter fanfiction out there. i once read a Hogwarts Castle/Giant Squid smut fic.

Also, pretty sure a fellow named Roko came up with the basilisk, not Yudkowsky.

from my understanding, the ai cult initially sprang up on the forum he hosted (hosts? idk), but he didn’t exactly start it, any more than Queen Elizabeth II invented punk rock.

but he did write the fanfic, and it’s honestly pretty good. low bar i know, but dude’s a better author than jowling ever was, and i definitely recommend it to anyone into HP fanfics.

if i’m cooking it over a fire, cheap yellow mustard and orange sauce is my go to. if i’m frying it in a pan, i also like to add some peanut butter to the pan so it cooks up with the grease, and turns into a delicious peanut-y third sauce. a little bit of bacon bits can never go wrong too if it’s available.

counterpoint: santa claus

this one seems pretty decent and has a similarly sparse blocklist

out of curiosity, which parallel reality are you posting this from?

felt a shame for ya’ll to miss out on the back cover too

very short post

you tricked me into reading a fascinating post, you devious thing you.

the idea that national borders would still exist, let alone be so unchanged, after such a world changing impact, is laughable.

I was laid off in May, and per Danish law, as an employee of over nine years, I have a six-month notice period. I’ve been relieved of my duties, but I am still officially an employee until the end of November.

Emphasis mine. Seems like he doesn’t have to keep working, in his case.

i’ve done it before. it is in fact quite dope.

what are you, a cop?
