That is disgusting.

For what it's worth, I never have less than hundreds of tabs across dozens of windows, and I don't think I've ever pissed in a bottle.

Also, it's not about bookmarks, I have a ton of those too - many of them with keywords for power querying.

Are there good Movies, TV Shows, Anime, with wholesome family (particularly parent-child) relations? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

As a divorced dad, Bluey is painfully sweet. I love that show to bits and it saddens me that my girl will soon no longer want to watch it as she gets older.

🥲 Those family dynamics.

I mean, good news, but I bet somebody is awfully embarrassed.

Just one data point, but my ex wife would take a deep breath every time she was in a parking garage because she really liked that smell.

Serious question: what if I am, and have no idea how to prep for it?

My pension and other things are tied up in stocks and such, if there's a crash coming I'd think cash under the pillow would be better than stocks. But how do you do that, with your pension?

It does need to be Internet connected. It's critical for patching remote exploit vulnerabilities...

What are the most upbeat songs with kind of depressing lyrics? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Vamos a la playa - super catchy totally 80s pop song that was everywhere in amusement parks ..... and it's about nuclear hellscape.

I don't know you but I love you for that Palatino statement. I've used it since forever (ie. back when Macs were black and white) and just love the curves of the italic style. These days, on Linux, I use Tex Gyre Pagella for basically all my documents.

For UI like menus and such, I'm quite nostalgic for the Chicago font - yes, pixelated and aliased and everything.

There's a wonderful bit of fiction writing where an armourer (I think, it's been a while) had that exact thought: paper never tears where the holes are, it only tears between the holes. Therefore, the holes must be stronger than the paper. Therefore, to strengthen a material, add (impervious) holes. Ultimately, the strongest material is all holes.
