I'll be honest, I'm from Minnesota but haven't seen TMD. But I love when shows emphasize and feature its location. Even if it wasn't filmed there, The Mary Tyler Moore Show kept things reasonably Minneapolis-centric. Cheers/Frasier in Boston/Seattle, The Drew Carey Show is proudly in Ohio, Seinfeld in New York, Full House in San Francisco, more recently Breaking Bad in New Mexico... We've got a huge country, let's use its different settings!

Unfortunately so many places are lucky to offhandedly mention where it all takes place, trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator IMO.

Not really. There were plenty of random pages, but you really had to seek it out to see it. Now an overwhelming majority of non-ad posts are stuff like this (and I wouldn't be surprised if they pay to have this stuff seen, basically making it an ad)

Welcome to the Internet. You can swear here.

Yeah, I wouldn't rush to make any judgements if someone should have a placard. We've got plenty of things to judge on as it is.

[-] spongebue@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

We can't see if they do or do not have a placard hanging from the mirror. In theory they may need some extra door space to get out so taking the second spot would almost make sense, but that's what those dead zones between handicap spaces are for.

Or perhaps the leadership of a project involving such complex mechanics as Nuclear Warheads is not expected to be comically inept with a simple projector.

That was my first thought

There is also some oil drilling near the southeast side of the city, generally along Quincy and maybe Jewell Avenues?

Yeah? That's where I'd start. Maybe they were at a bank that's not their own?

My, how the tables have returned!

Unfortunately, so many local burger joints have a "flagship" burger featuring a Sysco patty, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion for $17, sides extra.

I hadn't heard that story before. True or not, I'm glad it was there

Year and a half old. It may feel silly, but she's always been in the single-digit percentile, usually low-single-digits at that. She was born about 3 months premature, and after her weight gain stalling, they prescribed a medication with a side effect of increased appetite to give things a jump start. I think it's going to work 🙂

When I'd search "(location) weather" on Google (e: in Chrome) and I'd get a really nice at a glance forecast right on top. Do the same thing in Firefox and I'd get a whole bunch of weather websites I could go to. The former obviously being a better, more direct experience. I found an extension that fools Google into thinking it's Chrome and all works fine with that.

I'm amazed if this doesn't violate some antitrust regulation

I just started watching this channel a few months ago, and still haven't seen much more than a few videos here and there but loved what all I saw. Was sad to see the title, but watching it... Good for him. Besides, there should be plenty to tide me over for a lifetime or two

So many instructions to cut an onion are essentially

  1. Cut off the top
  2. Peel
  3. Cut in half
  4. Cut horizontally (in parallel to the cut you just made)
  5. Cut vertically into strips from just shy of the bottom to top, with the bottom holding things together
  6. Cut vertically perpendicular to your last cuts to get little squares

On something like a potato, I'd understand it. You'll be cutting a 3-dimensional object along all 3 axes to get cubes. But as Shrek taught me, onions have layers. Why make that first set of horizontal cuts when the onion's natural layers do the same thing already, albeit a little bit curved?

Running on a Raspberry Pi 400

Lately my home has been dumb and unassisted at random times, and the HA app can't connect to my HA rpi server. Ditto when I go to homeassistant:8123 in a browser. I'm trying to see what's causing this, but the logs in app only show since last restart. Tried plugging my Pi into a monitor and getting something from the command line but not sure how to do the equivalent of a Linux tail or whatever. Searching was surprisingly unhelpful. Any advice?

Thanks much!

I get that some instances use the domain + TLD to make a word, like lemm.ee or to an extent, sh.itjust.works. But I've seen so many TLDs I had no idea existed, like .world, .zone, .social, and yes .works as well.

Is there any real reason for that? Trying to look cool or kinda underground-y? Cheaper and more varied domain options? Something actually kinda functional?

Interestingly, I started on vlemmy.net because I was a scared Reddit refugee and the .net TLD gave me comfort. Then it vanished a few days later without a trace. So here I am on lemmy.world
