Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL You can leagally drop your baby off at the fire station in all 50 statesEnglish
6·3 days agoBefore fire stations, churches and monasteries did the same thing. And like how some fire stations have a dedicated baby drop box, the churches and monasteries sometimes did, too.

1·4 days agoGiven that typical gestation time is less than one year, that involves some planning and determination.

Technology@lemmy.world•This App Warns You if Someone Is Wearing Smart Glasses Nearby - 404mediaEnglish
4·4 days agoSee, I don’t really want full AR. I want a HUD, a very small number of rudimentary AR features, like floating windows for text documents or videos, physical buttons on the arms of the glasses, small drivers by the ears for audio, and battery life that will last most of the day. I already have to wear glasses and if I’m paying more for extra features I want ones that will last the whole time I might want them, not just the six or so hours a day that the current offerings have.

15·5 days agoDrop the cameras and microphones and replace them with a couple accelerometers and gyros. Paired with your phone’s GPS tracking, the glasses can tell where you’re looking without actually seeing anything. You can get handy features like a floating ‘turn here’ sign over your exit while driving with GPS navigation without recording anyone or anything at any time. Better battery life, too.

RPGMemes @ttrpg.network•Fantasy races and the video games they developEnglish
24·5 days agoI feel like there’s a 90% chance that specific boss fight exists in a JRPG already, and a 75% chance it was published by Square Enix.

politics @lemmy.world•Bible's Ten Commandments are to be displayed in some Louisiana classrooms, appeals court rulesEnglish
1·7 days agoI’m guessing a translation is something like, “We have absolutely no idea how we might argue this is okay in defiance of literally every court decision on this in history, so we’re just going to hope they don’t escalate.”

Comic Strips@lemmy.world•the one where ross says a slurEnglish
18·8 days agoI see you never watched Farscape and its BDSM space muppets.
On Ubuntu’s old Unity DE that top panel housed app menus and merged with maximized windows. And you could tap a button to search those menus. I wish they would reimplement those features.
Well, sometimes they denote different people. They also sometimes represent recurring characters.
Beret Guy, Black Hat, and Danish are the same character each time.
At the other end of the spectrum, Ponytail and White Hat are just whoever the comic needs at the time. Sometimes they show signs they’re a recurring character, but usually probably just a one-off.
In the middle of the spectrum are Cueball and Megan. These are the generic male and female designs and the most frequently seen. They’re usually probably just one-offs, but both have two distinct recurring roles as well. The first is Cueball as an unnamed male character and Megan as Megan, with the two of them being a couple. The second is Cueball as the comic’s author and Megan as his wife, with this being most apparent in the cancer strips.

World News@lemmy.world•Osaka city stunned by anonymous gold bar gift worth $3.6M to fix aging water pipesEnglish
10·9 days agoI would go with an old money family rather than yakuza. The yakuza, and organized crime families in general, like to keep their community help programs out in the open so the locals don’t feel inclined to help the police against them. For example, the yakuza have a history of disaster relief and Al Capone ran a soup kitchen.
I liked the plot, but the gameplay was in desperate need of an overhaul.
Also, if you’re trying to explore and finish up side quests on disc 3, but you accidentally clip Lunatic Pandora on the world map, it puts you into a linear sequence that runs all the way through to the end of disc 4 and the game with no ‘press X to enter this location’ prompt or warning that this is a point of no return.
But I did really like the story. If anyone has a mod suggestion for something that makes the junction system not be absurdly broken I’d be interested.

politics @lemmy.world•Republican Joins With Dems on Constitutional Amendment to Give Congress Power to Reject Trump PardonsEnglish
9·12 days agoUltimately, the rules work fine for what they were intended to do, which is prevent one branch of government from becoming much more powerful than the other two. However, they don’t work well against an entity like the Republican Party, which deliberately subverts multiple branches simultaneously. The rules against executive power have also been weakened over time due to congress ceding power to the president, something the founders hadn’t anticipated. They were prepared for greedy bastards that wanted to hoard power, but people giving power away to reduce their own responsibilities or achieve partisan goals was something they hadn’t even heard of.
Connery’s character is Lithuanian.
Oh, I know how that one happened. A rooster is also called a cock, though we don’t much use that word anymore, for obvious reasons. Probably didn’t know the word and checked Google Translate or something similar.

That’s only the new testament god. The old testament god would do things like turn you into a pillar of salt because you glanced back at the city you were fleeing when he told you not to. He probably took anger management courses off-screen during the time skip or something.
