I saved a comment from u/allmhuran posted to r/news on 2016-06-24:

"Australia has had five prime ministers in five years, the poor yanks look as though they’ll have to choose between two options both of which have more disapproval than approval, and the UK leaves the EU. It seems like a ridiculous amount of instability. One might even call it absurd.

But it’s not surprising.

You can’t feed a society exaggeration, hyperbole and propaganda for over a decade, and then claim surprise when people don’t seem to be making rational decisions on the basis of well established truth.

There’s a cost associated with not telling the truth. There’s a cost associated with polarized, adversarial public discourse. There’s a cost associated with media more concerned with profits than the public interest.

It is, apparently, time to pay the piper."

You’re probably thinking of @BeReady77@lemmy.world. I’ve been expecting another post any day but wasn’t anticipating a name change.

It may not be your real ladder but it still raised you.

This could be turned into a game with some kind of narrative like a Choose-Your-Own-E.U.L.Adventure. Players might try to exploit it though, so there should probably be some terms they have to agree to first.

With enough rocks he could practically leave no tern unstoned.

I believe Treehouse XXXIV should be S35E05, November 5, 2023

The less popular prequel to Super Mario World.

It might open an unwanted can of worms but maybe the drivers could claim they aren’t signing singing along to the radio but are vocalizing actions like Japanese train operators to ensure focus and safety.

Edit: I saw the sing and it opened up my eyes

Don’t know anything about him beyond this YT clip, but I’m hoping someone has eyes on Kline Preston:

Jordan Klepper Fingers the Pulse: Moscow Tools | The Daily Show [link should start at ~12:45]

I’m having trouble not seeing the farmer as trying to saw off his fingers with the edge of a crescent wrench.

Warp and weft…until it is done.

Please do not be alarmed, we are about to engage the nozzle.

My tech skills are rusting horribly but I tried to briefly take a look at this…

I’m seeing the same behavior with the Firefox save-as file extension being .m4a vs the displayed URL showing .mp3.

Opening either extension in VLC and viewing the codec info (Tools->Codec Info / Ctrl+J) shows the actual encoding to be ‘MPEG AAC Audio (mp4a)’.

I didn’t try grabbing a file from the torrent, but if I use the media tab in Firefox ‘Page Info’ (Ctrl+I) to “save as” the embedded IA player file it suggests a matching .mp3 extension with the displayed address (but the codec is still mp4a).

The main thing I’m not following is what you mean by having parse errors in Mp3tag. So far I haven’t seen any metadata included in either the .mp3 or .m4a downloads (I only tested the first file), they both play audio fine, and if I browse to their directory in Mp3tag (vers. 2.57) it doesn’t seem to show anything unusual to me (empty metadata, no error/alert messages). What exactly is the parse error or how is it behaving differently from what’s expected?

I also just wanted to say “THANK YOU!” for an awesome support post. You posted it to the right community, gave it a short but very descriptive title, gave lots of info about what you’ve tried and the results you’ve experienced – and did so politely :)

Hopefully you haven’t been listening to Brad’s rumors.

I’ve had a cheap picture very similar to this for a long time. Unless the original artist used a pseudonym I’m assuming it’s an unlicensed knockoff. Signature looks like “Jons/Jones[?] 91.” I won’t link to it, but I found an eBay listing for it and the seller said they won it at an amusement park so that’s probably where I got mine.

Sorry for low-quality scan, tried to fix blurriness but no luck so far.

If they used the native instance blocking feature to “completely block” the instance that actually only hides posts from that instance.

From https://join-lemmy.org/news/2023-12-15_-_Lemmy_Release_v0.19.0_-_Instance_blocking,_Scaled_sort,_and_Federation_Queue

Users can now block instances. Similar to community blocks, it means that any posts from communities which are hosted on that instance are hidden. However the block doesn’t affect users from the blocked instance, their posts and comments can still be seen normally in other communities.
