Zoning bylaw might require 1.5 parking spaces per dwelling unit. Three buildings would then need 450 spaces at roughly 128 sqft. each which would take up nearly an acre and a half.

The three buildings on their own probably wouldn't need even a single acre.

And NixOS instead of Arch Linux and openSUSE Tumbleweed and Fedora 😊

I'll take a Double Triple Bossy Deluxe, on a raft, four-by-four animal-style, extra shingles with a shimmy and a squeeze, light axle grease, make it cry, burn it, and let it swim.

When it happens to me, I'm usually already dreaming and it comes along when I think I've tripped on something.

In my city, all of the pictures of bicycles on the asphalt are underneath parked cars.

Introverts have absolutely no issues striking up a conversation.
Is it mentally exhausting? Sure. Would I rather be doing literally anything else? Yeah, probably. But introverts don't automatically have social anxiety.

Gaaahhhh why is this so relatable

Even if you aren't a mustard purist, there are so many better things to put on a hot dog before ketchup.

Matrix has the unfortunate problem right now where all the big clients have matrix.org set as the default homeserver. Yes, it is a decentralized and federated protocol, but I wonder how many users are registered on matrix.org vs other servers.

It's the same argument when discussing why people need a pickup truck as their daily driver for the one time a year they need to haul a trailer or move a couch. When faced with the possibility of switching from a half-ton to a sedan, suddenly everybody needs to carry their refrigerator with them everywhere.

I'd be curious to know the stats of how many driving trips are done in cities vs your washboard example.

I gave up on Below Zero around the time you're given the blueprints for the hover bike. I just could not get invested in whatever linear narrative they were trying to push, so I put the game down and haven't touched it since.

It feels like the devs captured lightning in a bottle with the first game but couldn't figure out what exactly made it so popular and fun to play. It certainly didn't do them any favours when they got rid of their composer Simon Chylinski. His score was so important at setting the tone.

Subnautica is one of my favourite games of all time and it kills me to know that we won't get another one like it.

I've felt much better about food waste since starting a compost bin earlier this spring. I used to agonize over throwing away even wilted lettuce, but now it's no biggie it just goes in the bin.

One thing I appreciate about Canadian elections is how quickly they happen. An election is called, campaigning is like a month or two and then we find out the new government just hours after casting our votes.

Nothing ruins a day like a late afternoon appointment. Spend the entire day yesterday thinking about it so that you don't accidentally forget which makes you stressed the moment you wake up because you assume that you've overslept and now don't have time to get ready and that feeling stays with you as you shower and get dressed and drag a comb through your hair and it's only 11am but you're fully ready to leave and now have to just sit there and wait as the day slowly disappears.

Time is a 4th dimension when talking about spacetime, which assumes three dimensions of space and one dimension of progressing time.

In geometry, a 4-dimensional object can be projected as a 3-dimensional shadow.

This video made me reinstall cod4 and give the single player another try after all these years.

I don't think it really holds up very well, even though I have some nostalgia for it.

Just to be more specific, it's run by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology

Loving the nihilist positivity vibe

My interest in gaming plummeted after he passed.

How to avoid being cold: wear a jacket.

I use them daily and they're very good, though I've never used more expensive buds to compare them against.

Virtual mission?

I too am a bird man but I've asked my non-birdman friends who say that the game is indeed stunning.

It helps that the game is also enjoyable to play.

Right on the heels of the recompilation. Having played with SoH before, I would say that I prefer the recomp just due to ease of setup for a vanilla experience, but Ship offers so many tweaks and upgrades it's certainly worth getting as well.

He mentioned that writer named Stuart and I immediately started anticipating the reveal that Ahoy was directly involved in this story.

I should see if my folks still have my old Gamecube sitting around somewhere gathering dust.

If you aren't fighting conservatism, you're fighting conservationism.

Yup. My old gaming rig is now quietly humming away in the basement as my dedicated media server.

Lemmy user slams game developer over use of controlled leaks

It's been vacuum packed

Cycling is still widely seen as a luxury or hobby, and hobbyists are wiling to pay top dollar so of course companies are going to exploit that.

Roads need to be resurfaced constantly and rebuilt every 30 years or so. You will never finish paying off a road.

I second this. I've been using KISS exclusively for years and I love its workflow. My homescreen is totally clean except the quick-launch bar, and I can find all my apps within seconds instead of having to swipe through a sea of pages or folders of icons.

I've always called them dungeon crawlers

Bikes belong on roads that are built for vehicular traffic.

I'll take advantage, if you don't mind. I need help specifically with obedience training.

I adopted my dog from the local rescue last year. She's a two year old mixed breed, I'm thinking a rottweiler/bernese x golden retriever. As far as I can tell she's had no formal training.

She's an absolute doll and I love her to bits, but she's as stubborn as a mule and when she's committed to disobedience I can't get her to focus on me. Do you have any tips on routines I could try with her, or any resources I could look at?
