I guess it’s a stylistic choice to express emphasis instead of using italics or bold text.

OfCourseNot@fedia.ioto Technology@beehaw.org•Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry1·8 days agoI agree with both of you but it’s a bit more nuanced than that: what if someone not familiar with the original IPs asks for a ‘space wizard’ or an ‘Italian plumber cartoon’, it outputs Obi Wan or Mario, and they use it in their work? Who’s getting sued by Disney or Nintendo?
OfCourseNot@fedia.ioto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How much silver powder (by mass) is in this beaker?21·15 days agoOk I think I see what you’re doing, but it’s still wrong tho. Going, kind of, that way would be:
volume of water = total_volume (silver_mass - slurry_mass) / (silver_mass - water_mass); where silver mass and water mass are the masses of the total volume if it were only that substance alone, ie (volume * density).
With this method you can use the volume of a block of silver instead of powder, which would be more exact as there’s air within powdered silver–you can add a bit of water to powdered silver before the volume start to rise–, and also the total volume and mass of the content of the beaker without taking out the water on top.
Sorry if it’s not very clear, I’m finishing my lunch break, I can explain/elaborate when I get home.
Btw I’ve checked my math: 844.4 g silver + 619.6 g water = 1464 g total; 844.4 g silver/ 10.5 gr/cm3 = 80.4 ml silver; 80.4 ml silver + 619.6 ml water = 700 ml total.
OfCourseNot@fedia.ioto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How much silver powder (by mass) is in this beaker?21·15 days ago1800g (dry silver) - 1214g (silver slurry) = 516g (516ml water in slurry)
What? Why? I’m kind of sure that this is wrong (subtracting (water + silver) from silver can’t get you water, you could get (silver - water) at best) but I’m interested in the reasoning here because it short circuit my brain.
Alright so you did put the signs the other way around!! No lol I think the post says the pedestrian pictogram that then is represented in many signs (ay least here) not just to the crosswalk one in particular, so I thought it applied here. My memory is very fuzzy but this could be an underpass that happened to have toilets as well.
OfCourseNot@fedia.ioto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How much silver powder (by mass) is in this beaker?2·15 days ago844.4 grams of silver.
I was coming back to say that. I’ve been in Warsaw, and in the back of my head I had the thought that this would have struck me as weird so I would’ve noticed. So I went through the few pictures and videos I took and saw this:
Uhm… Poland… that… those signs were for the toilets mates. I mean, fair mistake, but what did you put on the restroom doors then?
Edit: they’re not like that.
OfCourseNot@fedia.ioto politics @lemmy.world•Mattel CEO says toy manufacturing won't come to America, but price hikes will23·29 days agoTo be honest they were super cheap. A Barbie doll or another name brand toy cost the same as the euro store crap this side of the pond. When I visited the states I brought Barbie’s and Levi’s jeans as souvenirs! Literally the same price as the shitty key rings I bought at the airport.
Kid’s already got the genius hair and all. I foresee a bright future.
I see you know your judo well!
Confidence boost! Lots of policemen have touched my penis and none has said anything like that!
Do a search for ‘sedes (or sedia) stercoraria’ and/or ‘Pope Joan’.

It may or might not be just a myth.
Does she have a penis? Because that and be baptized in the Catholic Church are the only requisites. And they DO check! They have a special chair for that purpose and all.
OfCourseNot@fedia.iotoLGBTQ+@lemmy.blahaj.zone•UK Supreme court rules legal definition of a woman excludes trans women4·2 months agoIt’s not a UK/US thing, it’s a whole world thing. Including most (all?) of Europe. There exist co-ed prisons but they aren’t the norm by any means in any country that I know of.
OfCourseNot@fedia.iotoLGBTQ+@lemmy.blahaj.zone•UK Supreme court rules legal definition of a woman excludes trans women15·2 months agoFirst thing that comes to mind is prisons, most men wouldn’t mind to go to a women’s prison even at the price of being misgendered as they are famously much much nicer than men’s. Also the law offers lots of advantages and help to women that they don’t to men like lighter penal sentences, scholarships, shelter homes for victims of domestic violence…
These cunts are basically the convergence of transphobia and misandry, for some of them trans men are alienated women that just want to escape sexism against women and trans women are men that want to usurp their womanhood (whatever the fuck that even means). Source: I’ve met and know a bunch of these hateful people.
Fun fact: it’s not chalk (at least in Spain). I had to clean these marks, not from a corpse (the guy didn’t died) but from the blood splashes and bullet holes, and I had to use solvent to take them out, the industrial cleaning products did nothing.
OfCourseNot@fedia.ioto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is something you would like to abolish, and why? (Humorously)2·2 months agoSo an n-dash? Which is arguably indistinguishable from a hyphen unless you put them together, so most people just use hyphens. Or another dash-like character in between?
I mean to each their own, if you like it you like it. I’m not saying your way is bad or worse, I’m just a nerd who also likes to use punctuation in a peculiar and personal way. Just to be clear that this is a light-hearted conversation and not a ‘yOu aRE WroNg!’ kinda thing. :)
OfCourseNot@fedia.ioto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is something you would like to abolish, and why? (Humorously)2·2 months agoIt’s just a matter of taste I guess. But now I’ve given it a thought and I honestly don’t get it, you want to replace the apostrophe because it has two uses (three if you count that some people like myself use it as quotes as well) with the hyphen that has many more uses like compound words, prefixes, ranges, dates, divided words at the end of a line…
Sounds like a good plan, I’d seriously consider a Canarian accent if I could pick mine!
