Back when they used to bring whole ingredients in and make things fresh in the store? They were king of the US fast food at least.

yeah, it was bland american, but when it's up against mcdonalds and taco bell....

Now, i'd much rather go to taco bell..

They're probably running unlimited Amex. Google should legally have to write off the ad spend and cease the account.

100k offense from negligence. I've not worked anywhere that would shrug that off. Of course, he could be family or otherwise protected.

You at least need a food processor or a good blender.

Peanuts themselves aren't all that cheap. The best you could do is get cans from costco, they sell them as a loss leader.

Legally, the kid wasn't old enough to contract the ads.

It would not stand in court.

I question using his work card to pay for some robucks for his kid.

I question that his credit card was saved for Robucks, but was able to be used on Google Ads.

I would not be surprised if he lost his job. I think that's not unreasonable though the economy sucks.

I live in a neighborhood with 3 house styles; each has a fixed number of floors. The townhomes all have 8' ceilings, a basement, 1st, a second floor, and an attic or loft. All basements are walkout so i count them. I-joists are about 18 inches. So the townhomes are ~ 11 meters.

The single family are basement, 1st, and second, with 10" main floor and 8" second floor, then they have 16' attics, which puts them ~ 13m

The apartment complex has 5 fixed floors. It was trickier because I don't know the internal structure, nor the height of the decorative crowns, so I took a Google Earth look at the side of the building, drew a 45-degree line down from the top, and measured the bottom of the triangle

The shitty little "reusable" bags that wear out after a few uses are def worse than the micron-thin plastic were overall.

My state banned plastic a while back and I will way, i don't see bags stuck all over the bushes, roadsides and trees anymore so that's a plus.

I got a dozen or so insulated Wegmans large cooler bags that have lasted 5 years so far. (6 for each car) They're double-stitched, hardcore zippers no signs of wear. I suspect their realistic lifetime is my and my wife's death. It's not like the kids are going to pine over the bags or anything. Now the real question, assuming they're evergreen (jury is still out) is 25-35 years of waste reduction from a 0.001 disposable plastic bag actually net negative against 12 large textile bags with thick plastic liners, zippers, and insulation?

The bags probably host $200 in total and I'm quite sure I could buy a lifetime supply of disposable plastic bags for $200.

Not seeing plastic bags stuck to a tree every quarter mile feels good. I think reusable is probably the right answer, even if it's not a huge ecological win.

When you make an area->structure in osm, you can add it in the height meta in meters.

When an app uses the OSM data to draw a 3d structure, it can use your height data. (and most appear to)

I was using organic until CoMaps forked it, now CoMaps is the way. It's open street map so you can sign up and fix whatever you want, pull down the next version and it's there.

I do miss street view, ~~voiced street names~~, and really miss cowdsourced hazards from waze but it's worth it if you're not on a long high speed trip.

edit: turns out you can turn on tts street names

The button must be pressed (thebutton.lemmy.zip)

The Button 🔘

An experiment has begun.

There’s a button.

That’s it. Just a button… and a timer counting down.

Anyone can press it. Everyone sees what happens. And every press changes things forever.

  • One shared button
  • No undo, no reset
  • A collective test of curiosity, restraint… or chaos

Some of you will hold the line. Some of you won’t last five seconds.

Either way, once it’s over… it’s over.

The Button

So the only question is:

Do you press it?


The Button is open to anyone on any federated platform, be that Lemmy, Piefed, Mastodon... even Stegodon!

Any user from any instance can sign in and press the button, but you only get one chance.

To add another layer to this, users can choose which faction to join, and the "winner" is the faction that holds the button the longest amount of time before it eventually runs out.

Initially a press of the button resets the timer to 15 minutes - this may reduce if the game carries on for a while. At the time of this post, there is about 60 minutes until the button expires. The first button press will be available when there's 15 minutes left, i.e. in 45 minutes, but you can sign up now to be ready!

There is also a permanent record of the first pusher :)

Those aren't supposed to be round on top.

This one may indeed be a fever dream. I keep hearing whispers from social about mini-tanks showing up in US citites. And as horrifying as this is, I get a little chuckle when this image pops into my head of Shriners driving tiny tanks around in a march to war. I could have SWORN this happened in Futurama, but I don't see it in Ghost in the Machines (parade day), or War is the H Word, and I just can't place where else it would have been, well, unless I'm imagining it, which is absolutely reasonable.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Could I make a little gun and just walk around through the parking lot and aisles of the supermarket and freeze all the carts in place?

I just tooled around on sites for the top-ranked Futurama episodes, and no two media outlets even had similar lists. I was wondering what it would look like with a small group of diehard fans here.

Once the votes stop coming in, (assuming they start) I'll tabulate the results.

Just give up to 5 episodes in a comment and we'll see if any of the different outlets got it right.

**Update: **

8 Voters

25 Candidates

Assuming everyone's #1 is their best choice candidate and they decrease in order:

In a Ranked Choice Vote Single-Winner and Dual-Winner scenario, it takes 4 rounds and "Devils' Hands" takes first place. Luck of the Fryish takes second place with two.

I tried to recalculate it RCV style for a list of 3,4,5, but we don't have enough votes to make it work.

In other voting calculations:

Jurassic (4), Godfellas(3), and Devils' hands(3) won with the most overall votes.

Jurassic Bark won with the highest number of top votes after 2 rounds.
