Sounds like you’re vaguely describing a ground effect vehicle, basically a plane which coasts along the water. They’re more efficient than actually flying due to exploiting the ground effect on the lift surfaces, but ultimately it’s closer to a plane than a boat

I’ve just been using the site in my browser for the couple of years or so I’ve been on Lemmy. I’ve thought about trying one of the apps but meh. The web interface is so well mobile-optimized as it is

Also the Jackdaws

All he has to do is apply sufficient political pressure upon the governor to make the pardon happen. It’s more work for a state level concern but ultimately it’s plausible if the current Republican administration is sufficiently motivated

Wait when did I stumble into a Rimworld sub?

Of course, you can never go wrong with the old faithful “one lung, one kidney, amputate both arms and legs and replace with pegs then release back to their people”

The most accurate takeaway is that the shareholders wish for Disney to continue participating in Diversity Equity and Inclusion measures.

The enemy of your enemy is not necessarily your friend.

My local classic rock station classifies “classic rock” as released >25 years ago. They play Green Day fairly regularly now

I’m a cishet dude and all but one of my friends are some combination of gay, bi, or trans

I believe getting fucked is in fact the intention

Yeah there’s a reason I didn’t even call that one out and just called it a bait. It’s in flathub, frequently featured in flathub, and in the same article they spoke with a nonprofit that stated they preload older computers with Linux Mint now, which has a graphical software center that covers both Flathub and the Ubuntu repos

I think it might be Barron. The media has been starting to glaze him and give him some air time and float his name. Don Jr has been doing tons of really cringe campaigning for El Presidente, but given he hasn’t really been talked about in the media, I don’t think they’re floating him next

The sad thing is Roku’s UI was pretty dang good before they added a row of ads at the top, a half screen ad on the left and replaced the background with an ad every 2 weeks, waiting a full minute for it to load the latest nonsense the highest bidder paid them to shove in my face. The ads absolutely ruin a good platform.

That’s literally what the representative from the charity said they did in the linked article

Hey if you’re in the states, I ended up with a pallet of PCs from an auction I didn’t expect to win and my wife would be happy to see one more disappear, so if you want to cover shipping I’d be happy to send it off to ya. They’re just HP Elitedesk SFFs with 4th gen i5s, but there’s a bunch of half-height PCIe slots and 3.5" bays and even a DVD drive so plenty of expandability to get yourself into trouble with

My last go-around with Linux gaming was pre-steam deck. I think it ended around 2018ish? So it’s been long enough I should probably give Linux a real try again sometime

However, Linux still lacks some popular applications, such as Microsoft Office and Slack, though alternatives are available.

Lol nice bait. Real talk though, just toss shortcuts to word.office.com, excel.office.com and outlook.office.com on the desktop and nobody will be any wiser

Dude modern needles alone make it so much better

Dude medical science is progressing at a rate where I might genuinely be able to cheer science on to outpace my natural aging for certain age-related procedures and ailments that commonly afflict people late in life

I remember they were really worried that I wasn’t waking up from my surgery that was scheduled from 7am to 8am. They also scolded my dad for coming in and telling “c’mon get up it’s time to go” until they saw me finally getting up and groaning about it being too early. You’d think it was their first experience with a teenager…

Wisconsin is one of the swingiest swing states. Wisconsin’s electoral votes went to Trump, Biden and Trump in the last 3 presidential elections by extremely narrow margins (just a percent or two each time) and they’ve had governors races decided by hundreds of votes in recent years. Every election in Wisconsin is hard to predict other than the hyper-local ones, especially after the court-ordered redistricting away from the Republican-drawn super-gerrymandered districts

Electoral votes do not represent a state’s population
