Ok fine. I'm definitely not voting for Hunter Biden then.

The USA is one of the most prolific nations in the Olympics. What factors have led to this dominance? in c/askhistorians@lemmy.world

Money/resources.

ELI5: How Mr. Orange Skin can get ten contempt citations and still be out of jail. But if I get one let alone two I would pretty much be screwed? in c/explainlikeiamfive@lemmy.world

I think it's more than just money. The judge in this case was also worried about optics. Throwing someone like the orange turd in jail for contempt, while warranted, could look like election interference because he is the nominee for president. It could rile up his base even more and we could have another January 6th on our hands.

Is there a word for “word or phrase that is fun to say”? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] aninnymoose@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

I don't speak Spanish but I love the word "El sacapuntas" which sounds like a bad word but means pencil sharpener.

Nepali has quite a few.

का. म. पा. (Ka ma pa) - Kathmandu Mahanagar Palika - Greater Kathmandu Metro.

मा. प. से. (Ma Pa Se) - Madak Padartha Sewan - directly translates to taking of illicit substance but is used to describe DUI

ने. बि. (Ne Bi) - Nepal Bidhyarthi - Nepal student (Association)

भु. पु. (Bhu Pu) - Bhoot Purva - Past/previous.

There are more that I'm blanking out on right now.

Rotating is too much work. It’ll be right side up in the end anyway so I didn’t do it. Now what?

feature request: reader view (lemm.ee)
 

I would love the option for reader view to be a togglable option in settings for opening sites by default. This is especially helpful for news articles. This was a feature in Apollo and I think it's available in few other lemmy apps like memmy. Thank you.

Plant-based filter removes up to 99.9% of microplastics from water in c/upliftingnews@lemmy.world
[–] aninnymoose@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago (5 children)

As always with most things in our capitalist society, it's better for shareholders if general population injests microplastics than for them to spend money on products to prevent it. Capitalism only spends money on things that bring profit, not to make a world a better place. If while making that profit the world becomes a better place, that's a marketing win.

Ducky One 2 SF Tab and Esc stopped working (lemm.ee)
 

hello wonderful folks, I have a Ducky One 2 SF and recently my Tab and Esc key stopped working. I've taken the keyboard apart (as much apart can be taken without de-soldering the switches) and cleaned it all out. The switch itself works (verified using a multi meter and shorting the pins in the back with a screwdriver) however the signal isn't sent to the computer. I've verified using a keyboard tester website to verify that every other key is registering except these 2. Anyone run into something similar?

Which rotation is the easiest to learn? I'm trying to get the single kill for the diary but may cap him(her?) Long term. Combat stats are all 85-ish. Got blowpipe and swamp trident.

[Bug] swipe to vote sometimes causes scroll gesture to not register (lemm.ee)
 

It doesn't happen consistenly but happens quite frequently. If you swipe to vote, it no longer registers the scroll. To get out of it, you have to either tap somewhere on the screen (which doesn't register as a tap) or slight swipe to vote without actually triggering the vote. Then, scrolling happens normally.
