They have had their moments, iirc mostly with calling out establishment dems. The odd jab at republicans as well.

Broken clock and all that

Huh, I guess you're right. At least regarding the first paragraph(s), which I would argue is the relevant part.

Edit: This seems to be wrong, see the thread for context.

If by chunks you mean individual letters of the latin alphabet.

Otherwise no, lorem ipsum is pseudo-latin, meant to emulate letter frequency and word length of latin, but not actual latin words.

How is a parent in bumfuck nowhere, Russia, supposed to do that, exactly?

I am as pro-Russian-exit as probably most here, but that is a delusional proposition. That's like saying you were an office clerk in Wyoming, and could end the Iran attacks anytime. You and the Russian rando have pretty much the same leverage in my books.

oh no

So this one is actually called in english what the other is called in both sc. latin and german - and they even look similar enough.

Curious. Maybe they are called that in some regions after all.

Edit: see parent comment, the following apparently is false.

It's just that "Lachmöwe" is a notorious false friend in German, hence my assumption.

Fyi, it's called a "black-headed gull".

And "Lachmöwe" in German does not mean "laughing" gull either, but "puddle" gull, (Lache im Sinne von Pfütze, kleines stilles Gewässer)

Edit: well, egg on my face. Its latin genus name is ridibundus, meaning laughing, and the German name is a transliteration of that. So it's a false false friend that I (and other biologists I know) seem to have fallen for. Wikipedia references an ornithological work from 1971 for the "laughing" interpretation.

TIL

An off-brand one i found on residential waste 6 years ago (broken lidar motor, 5 quid in spare parts) has internal maps. They really don't have to be fancy pants for this in this year of our lord 2026 where disposable vapes have the chips to run a webserver.

Who uses aluminium for canned foods? They're even called tins as well because their made from tinplate (aka tinned steel).

Drinks are a different beast.

Lemmy users not take the obvious bait challenge, level impossible.

Incredible stuff, really.
