Dude there are many different helmet designs, with both thick and thin plastic covers. In a practical day to day use case, the plastic shell is there for appearance as well as protection for the primary means to prevent damage to the foam core of the helmet. The foam is no good if it gets damaged the first time you accidentally drop it on the pavement.

I'm sure it can play some role in protecting your head, but it's main purpose is to keep the foam on your head on one piece in case of an accident.

Thanks for sharing this! Found a few others as I was looking up my family members names:

Kevin - Caoimhín Maeve - Meadhbh

Saw a comment somewhere else that the guy in the police cruiser somehow didn't get any bullets in him.

That's pretty rich considering Gemini says doesn't even know what you said two messages ago.

Pretty sure the post is misleading. I asked Bard about it and it seems it's still running on the LaMDA model— Gemini Pro is only available for certain beta testers for text-based prompts at this time.

There's a wider release on December 13, but it's unclear to me if it's too a wider audience or a wider set of tools for the limited audience.

Everyone can now use "Taco Tuesday" without risk of being sued. Don't overthink it.

It was found to give rats tumors. So cancer risk.

Clover would be a good option, it's more resistant to burning from dog urine than most grasses. It wasn't that long ago since clover was included with standard lawn seed mixes.

You can place a layer of cardboard over the grass, and then top it with soil. Enough to keep out the undesirable grass, and it will break down over time. Try to avoid cardboard with colorful dyes and keep to the basic brown.

I agree, trying to get used to Lemmy and the amount of shit posts and low quality content can be fatiguing. Compound that with servers limiting people who can create accounts (lemmy.ml for instance) and inconsistent features for filtering/blocking memes and shit post communities on servers you don't have an account on— it's hard to get used to the disorganized mess.

Reddit thrived on consistent leadership within it's communities, if you didn't like one you could create another with clear access/visibility to the rest of the user base. If Reddit is an echo chamber, Lemmy seems to be doubly so.

I mean even if you pay for premium, they don't give you the option to not have shorts shoved down your throat. This is a "feature" that has been added after premium was a thing. It's also not too hard to figure out shorts are an optimized method to harvest more user data on interests.

While I don't disagree with leaving the ad-funded internet behind us, I also don't trust Google to be a pioneer in reducing ads on the Internet— considering they're an ad delivering company above all else at this point.

The community here feels significantly more wholesome than Reddit in recent months. It's nice seeing a lot of meaningful conversation without hate and spam.
