I don’t think the rest of the world is like 🤷‍♂️ at all, there’s been protests and uproars all over the world in support of Palestine. It’s just that the governments of the rest of the world are like 🤷‍♂️.

For what it’s worth, this wired alternative is almost identical to an xbox one controller except for the rumble motor, which is markedly lower quality. If that doesn’t bother you, it’s also less than half the price, and works out of the box in all distros I’ve tried.

If you want a buzz cut (something you can do with clippers and a single length attachment), doing it yourself is really no problem at all. If you want something more complex, you probably want to see a professional.

An even scarier thought is that the Bible could actually be making them seem way better than they are in reality.

Would be hilarious if people just kept going and putting more eyes on it every time they removed them.

This seems… so completely not worth getting upset over. What image was supposedly censored?

That was our feeling, too - if we did lose everything, we have digital backups of those documents. The chances are obviously low of having a fire, but that’s not really the point… the intent is to plan for the “what if” scenario. If you want 100% fire safety, you store things off-site, but this was an acceptable level of risk for the cost, for us. You mention floods; these boxes are rated for much longer in water, so they might be applicable to your use-case.

We have a fireproof / waterproof safe box we store documents like that in (essentially this). It’s not going to keep an intruder from getting the documents if they wanted to (they could just take the box with them and smash it open, it’s certainly not good as an anti-theft device) but it’s waterproof and fireproof and that’s more what we were concerned with.

It’s worth noting that these aren’t rated to protect documents from a prolonged intense fire; if your house burns to the ground, it’s probably not going to help.

if an RSS bot posts an article, a human is not going to post it again

I reject your premise, on the basis that it seems like basically every article, worth reading or not, is posted repeatedly (by humans) over the span of a day or two anyway.

Of course, I block the bot accounts, so if there are interesting articles that aren’t being re-posted, I can’t see them, but… I’d say my Lemmy experience is considerably better even with the presumed reduction in content.

To directly answer your question, even if I could see them, I wouldn’t engage with bot account posts.

Small high-powered magnets, specifically

Small strong magnets are harmless to play with – but if they are ingested or inhaled, they can become attracted to each other and join up in the digestive system. If left untreated, this can result in major tissue damage, sepsis and even death.

So basically banned for this exact reason.

The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile unlocks and offers to let you switch to ‘Pretty Princess’ difficulty if you die too many times in a row.

My favorite will always be the ‘Spent 15 Hours at the Alien Strip Club’ achievement in High On Life.

That was all for “personal use”.

Immortality is such a mixed bag depending on the exact mechanics behind it.

You simply won’t die of old age, but can be killed by anything that would kill a normal person? Probably fine.

Almost any other interpretation opens the doors for some absolutely horrific states of being that you’re just unable to escape from.

Watermelons

I’m sure there’s some external influence, too. My corpse tolerance would be a lot different if it’s extremely hot outside than if it’s chilly. If I’m at risk of heat stroke, I’d maybe even swim with a corpse making audible noise. If I’m physically on fire, I definitely would.

Gotcha, thanks for the context.

Maybe the real question is, “How large would a corpse have to be to stop you from swimming in the pool?”

Why are they putting Israel and Israeli in quotes? Are they implying that it wasn’t actually Israelis perpetrating this, or that it isn’t actually Israel performing the investigation? Or is this some political statement I’m not privy to?

It’s only really noteworthy because it affects everyone at the same time. If everyone had an individual outage for the same duration at a random time, it wouldn’t even be noticeable in most cases.
