"it corroborates the rumours".

WHAT RUMOURS?

I'm luckily sensitive to most medications, and find good success with herbal stuff like valerian and passionflower, any of the GABA ones really. They don't make me sleepy as much as they get rid of that little burning anxiety stress that keeps me awake.

It's worth a shot for some people.

Well now this was just pleasantly well written.

Well google is a US country, so google bending the knee to Trump is fairly expected.

But sure, if NZ wants to call itself Aotearoa, google should change that. Is Mexico wants to rename it to Mexico Americana, go for it.

If the Mexican people take Umbridge with their government renaming their local maps, take it up with the government, not the map drawers.

What does google have to gain from saying no? A mild recapture of respect from the people with no political power?

Also the territory isn't there's, sure, but it's also no one's. If weird ass trump wants to rename it in their countries name, go for it.

Google shows Gulf of Mexico to Mexico, and both names to every other country.

As Bannon literally pointed out, this is absolutely a Trump tactic, to firehouse the news with bullshit stories, and THIS is comparatively a non issue.

Eh I'm on the opposite side, despite being a massive lefty. Why would an american company not follow an American dictate just for America? (It's still called the Gulf of Mexico on Google in every other country) It sets a wild precedent where private businesses refuse to follow the fairly inconsequential requests of their government.

Oh good! Japanese restaurants are often a crapshoot for vegan options, I was concerned how well I'd eat when I one day visit the actual country.

Oh god I want to gift ALL OF MY NEIGHBOURS BATTERY LEAF BLOWERS. I bought one, it's amazing, and we're about to go into autumn 🤢

I don't care much about the supposed fidelity, but having a group of mates around each pick an album from my stack is a lot of fun.

It stops people from focusing too hard on the music and going "oh wait lemme queue up this track" etc.

Are you guys just generating insanely difficult code? I feel like 90% of all my code generation with o1 works first time? And if it doesn't, I just let GPT know and it fixes it right then and there?

Had no idea what this was before watching it, became my favourite movie of the year, what a treat of a film.

The burden of proof is on you. Provide evidence to the contrary.

Made a book lamp (aussie.zone)
submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by threeduck@aussie.zone to c/diy@beehaw.org
 

Pieces required. Three books from a thrift store ($6) pretty books are everywhere it seems! Australian lamp fitting with switch from AliExpress ($11), 3w LED bulb from AliExpress ($14).

Things I needed to buy: 40mm drill bit to drill through the books to fit the lamp socket ($12). Clamps to hold the books down during surgery ($20 for two).

Things I already had: PVA glue to attach the books together and seal the pages. Drill and 8mm drill bit, to feed the wire though and out the back of the bottom book. Soldering iron, I had to break open the light switch and snip the wires off to feed JUST the power cable through the drill hole I'd made (power plug too big)

I'm no DIY expert, and this was a fairly easy project. No major hurdles, and it looks great on my homemade ladder shelf.

 
 

"Lemmy at em!" says some wisecracking character in my video game maybe, in a referential nod to a relatively niche community in an attempt to appeal.

For the past six years I've been working on Game Over, a Comedy Rhythm RPG, and maybe you'll like it?

There's a little demo on Steam and also one on itch.io which you can play free of charge! What a deal! What a sweet treat for yourself and friends!

Also I don't have a complaints form, so if you have any, please comment below and I will angrily defend myself and take potshots at you.
