Well, once someone converted it to dollars and started comparing it to costs in the US, it kind of opened the topic, don’t you think?
Also, according to both the link you provided and the income inequality page by country, the US and Russia are on par; they both have Gini coefficients of 85-90, and PIP (poverty & inequality plaform) indexes in the 35-40 range.
Which metric did you see that says Russia’s wealth inequality is worse than the US’s?
They were absolutely having sporadic outages a few days ago, but they’ve been Ok recently.
No, this is a specific configuration Midwest.social has enabled. It actually modifies posts and replaces external image links with proxies through the Midwest.social server. It results in really slow image serving in posts, and frequently outright breaks images. The server is also not correctly configured for mime types, so SVGs aren’t served properly: even if the origin has the right mime-type, the forced proxy breaks the mime-type. So I can’t embed SVGs on this account.
I appreciate the service, but I’m really going to have to abandon this account. The comment modification and hijacking of image links doesn’t feel right.
I’d love to watch it once, but Imgur blocks VPNs.
There isn’t a massive disparity between the wealthiest and poorest in the US?
Not that kind of “use!”
That’s… a big gap. I think I’d just be confused all the time if I had to switch between them.
I’m lucky. I live in a place where stonecrop is native, and it grows like a weed. Except it doesn’t spread (quickly), and I love the look.
We had some landscaping done and they moved some stonecrop and forgot to move one back. it wasn’t even planted; it just grew right there where they’d left it!
Great plants.
No.
Also, biological monsters would overheat very fast.
That’s why they tend to breath fire n stuff.
Old Godzilla movies got it right. He did look like he was walking on the moon. Not bouncing, but he probably had atrophied muscles from being in the water all the time.
Poor guy. Overheated and tired, no wonder he was grumpy!
That’s brilliant. The thumbnail spoils it… at least, it shows me the punchline.
I don’t know why; it just popped into my head. Maybe because the float would just make snacking easier for the sharks?
Edit: because my home server insists on rewriting all image URLs to proxy requests through that server, and it often breaks things. I gotta re-home.
LOL. Op walks around town, leaking Razrs and building their own mesh network.
I know my limitations. One of them is patience.
Alternative title: I got my wife an electric motorcycle. Here’s why.
What almost impresses me most is the architecture of the Parthenon in Athens. Nothing in it is perpendicular. There’s a rise in the middle of the floor of about 6.5cm over a span of 30 meters that makes the floor bowed and prevents it from looking like it’s sagging in the middle. All of the columns are just slightly tilted inwards. They’re not straight-sided, either, they’re bowed. The whole danged thing is an optical illusion to make it appear perpendicular, because it’s so big that if they didn’t, it wouldn’t.

C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.
Enshittification is probably a large part. However, I can see it.
Our’s are plastic, 25 years old, and look like crap. Wash them all you want, they just look dirty all the time. I’d replace them except for the absurd cost for a piece of molded ABS.
I take them off to wash them. I can imagine someone having an accident with one, like washing them in dishwasher and having one fall down onto a heating element. Those are big, but our’s are small enough to get knocked down onto the garbage disposal - it would’t be easy, and would require an unusual sequence is events, but I’ve fucked up even more unlikely sequences of events in my life.
I really wish I could get decent aluminum replacements for our’s; it wouldn’t make the range any newer, but it’d make it look nicer than the black plastic shit that it came with.
15mph is certainly reasonable, and not “as fast as a car.” A parked car, maybe, which in city traffic may feel the same.
But yeah, 15 is reasonable; humans can run that fast. Sharing a bike lane with a motorized bike going 25 is where it starts feeling dangerous, and where it starts to be in car range.
Thanks for pointing that out.
