Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are your thoughts on a reformed calendar? I personally think Symmetry454 would be kind of fun!
1·4 days agoWe could use something like the international fixed calendar and just make the new year’s day and leap days a day of the week so that the calendar shifts by a day or two every year.
That Wikipedia article is surprisingly silent on Norris’ support of Trump.
I’m gonna guess that it’s durian ice cream.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Simple, Stupid, and it always works
1·10 days agoThat’s basically what these do. What’s the difficulty?
They should be equally acceptable without needing to be sexualized. But even if you like seeing tits, the best way to see other’s is to not be weird, dehumanizing, or non-consenting about it. That’s like the 1 rule of etiquette anyway, try within reason to not make other people uncomfortable.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's an animal that would be cool if we could domesticate to the level of companion animal, like dogs.
13·13 days agoSand Hills aren’t very afraid of humans anyway.
Yes, that is the vulnerability that you are exploiting and making worse for an entire family of cranes.
I’ve seen this story before. It usually ends in tragedy for the cranes. You’ve likely already seen the results with the loss of their chick. You blame it on a wild animal without proof, but it’s just as likely that the reduction of their fear response to humans (as a direct result of your “kindness”) led to their death.

21·13 days agoI disagree on ever single point you’ve said here.

3·13 days agoWhile I envy your ability to get close to wildlife, loosing their fear of humans is really very dangerous for Sand Hill Cranes especially.

41·13 days agoSounds like a skill issue. Good translation is hard and is rarely a literal one to one mapping of syntax and diction. It’s an interpretive art.

71·14 days agoSounds like a skill issue. Bad translations are bad because they don’t find good ways to translate these kinds of things. As you say, translation isn’t just about the words, it’s about cultural context. But, bad translations aren’t inevitable just because good translations are difficult.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is your oldest living presence on the World Wide Web?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If the AI gets out of control, what will it start doing on the planet, given the hallucinations that will always be with it?
4·19 days agoDoes it really matter what the machines “think” if they steal water and other resources from poor and vulnerable communities on a scale that makes Nestlé jealous?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How long do you think it will be until Chrome/Google for all intents and purposes removes basic copy paste functionality on webpages?
1·20 days agoI see the irony is lost on you.

32·21 days agoThat’s like picking fights with strangers to manage your anger.
It only does this for things (usually municipal or government related) with a well defined, continuous, and singluar boundary. Search for nearby Lake Buena Vista, City of Orlando, or Orange County and Google Earth behaves exactly that way. But Disney’s land holdings are likely not completely contiguous.
Logically most people would want to see the boundary of all the Disney things when they search for Disney World, but that’s also not a real region with a well defined simple boundary Google can show and so it doesn’t. Google Earth can represent points (or geolocated 3D buildings that are essentially points), lines (like roads), polygons, and elevation. In fact, you can force Google to do this by collecting the pins of various locations into a list. When you select the list, Google zooms to the level that shows them all. But Google Maps would be the tool to search for “all the Disney properties” or “all the burrito places near me” to get quick and made to order lists like this, Google Earth simply isn’t built to to that.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•You ever been to Disney World?
11·26 days agoSo you’re new to reading maps? Is that the joke? Because the resort is the collection of all the various parks. Magic Kingdom is just to the north, Epcot is off to the east a bit, Hollywood Studios (now a part of Disney) is to the southeast, just south of Epcot, Blizzard Beach is mostly south and a little west, Animal Kingdom is south west, the Disney Golf courses are northwest. This point is basically the centeroid of all of those places because none of them are Disney World alone, they are only Disney World in the collective. It’s not like Disneyland, which is a single park in the middle of town. Yes, they built in a swamp. What you’ve zoomed into is undeveloped land that I’m pretty sure Disney owns.
So, yes, that is Disney world, but I wouldn’t send you a closeup of my nipple if you asked for a selfie.

Technology@lemmy.world•Floating turbine towers above — the S1500 hovers to harvest wind at 131 feetEnglish
1·27 days agoIt’s because the precision is overstated in the conversion to imperial. If they’re going to convert units they could at least give the correct significant digits. It should have read (if one insists on not just leaving it in metric):
- Operational altitude: nearly 1 mile (1.5km)
- Weight: Under 1 ton (imperial or metric. Take your pick, it hardly matter.)

3·27 days agoNJ won’t even let them pump gas.

What are you talking about? The pink one has a line of scary warning symbols including a skull and crossbones just under the word humectant.
