Your definition of the meter leaves out the most interesting part. Yes, it was 1,000, 000th the distance of the equator to the North Pole, but how far is that? That wasn’t known accurately in the 18th Century. So, two Frenchmen, Delambre and Mechain conducted the longest meridian survey every attempted. They also did so while half of Europe was at war with one another. It was an amazingly dangerous endeavor. There is also significant evidence they totally flubbed and hand-waived their results. So, although their science ended up being questioned, the process and method was accepted and the Meter was defined.

It would take away a lot of the zing… But it’s cooking, you do you!

Seems like you could use a kick start for something different. Let me suggest Alabama White Sauce. Tangy, a little heat, and some lip sweat.

Alabama White BBQ Sauce: 1 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon prepared horseradish

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Salt

Never thought I’d get emotionally invested and attached to a creature as alien as Rocky. I thoroughly enjoyed in the book and it’s my favorite out of the three Weir books I’ve read.

Pop is my new go to distro. Even without their own DE, the tweaks to gnome are really well considered and I don’t spend an hour unfucking the default environment.

No. If it’s sticking you’re generally cooking too cool. Fast sear followed by a slower roast.

Oh, right. So assuming divorce is the second outcome of the pregnancy the man isn’t on the hook for someone else’s child? That’s definitely the reasonable take.

Wow, so paternity determined by DNA is insufficient to determine a child isn’t a man’s progeny in Sweden? Further, there is no recourse in the event of the wife’s infidelity without the actual father stepping up? That feels like an unjust trap.

Towards your actual question, in the US it’s not automatic. Child support is almost always a consideration for adjudicating divorce if minor children are present. Unwed mothers would have to seek support through the courts if the father refuses.

Does bring up the question of paternal rights in cases where the man does not want a child. He can’t have an abortion like the woman if she doesn’t want the pregnancy. Definitely a hard thing to balance and be just in all cases.

Which was the style at the time..

Get it right, Philistine :p

Social media is supposed to be the digital commons. Without a dislike button, then the media cannot be a commons. You go to the town square and start spouting offensive bullshit you’re going to get the proverbial rotten tomatoes thrown at you, mockery, and getting shunned.

With only having a like button, Twitter amplifies the message of bad actors and encourages rage responses. That’s the point though isn’t it? Engagement metrics to sell rage at a discount instead of the whole normal population buying a post with dislikes and moving on.

Correct, I got my account invite from The Screensavers show with Kevin Rose. They were giving them out randomly to viewers.

I snorted audibly on that one.

And that’s when you really get good at breaking shit.

Bold assuming the corrupted six ever used anything close to consistency to inform their rulings.

Does this affect me being able to find someone on bluesky from my mastodon.online account or is bluesky not federated?

On Boost for Reddit my home feed is only subreddits I’ve subscribed to. On the desktop and official app, it’s that new bastardized version of my subscribed subreddits and all.

I could save searches, I felt like it allowed me to view Reddit the way I wanted to view it. I don’t want to see half of the meme lords on all in my home feed.

I find there are few cult classics that can be found by future generations and maintain their cult status outside of the truly timeless greats like Rocky Horror Picture Show or similar. There’s a nostalgia associated with most cult films. I can’t imagine GenZ glomming onto Better off Dead or Ferris Bueller’s Day Off or The Goonies because so much of the camp and humor is tied to a time they don’t have a reference for.

Oversimplifying it, but think of instances like lemmy.ml as an email domain. Maybe you have a Gmail account, you still get email from msn, Yahoo, etc. As long as an instance remains federated you can see and interact with posts from any other instance. So the instances appear confusing, but they’re a bit meaningless for consuming.

One big advantage to instances, if I have a business, I can create my own instance and only allow my employees to have accounts. Everyone else can still post threads and comments, but my employees have essentially a verified status.
