  • Sulfur springs (on the surface) have been redesigned in the new snapshot. What do you think?

    Jump

  • No, that was the first version in a previous snapshot. Even the new ones in this post are not in a real release, just a preview snapshot. Still a work in progress

  • Why do we have alcohol advertisements. We don't allow cigarettes to advertise

    Jump

  • Not sure where you live, but I think basically every state in the USA has an extra tax on alcohol.

    Look up "sin tax"

  • TIL steak Canadian was not invented in Canada and almost no one in Canada knows what it is.

  • Apparently it's a UK thing. Never heard of it.

    (I'm from the USA. FWIW)

  • "Stop posting in relevant communities"

    Sincerely just trying to help post content to otherwise largely dead communities that often struggle to have a few posts in a week much less a day.

    Also, I'm not getting down-voted on the whole. Apparently lots of people are enjoying the content.

  • I got yelled at for making original posts in multiple communities, now I get yelled at for cross posts. I'm just posting relevant content to relevant groups.

    I thought the cross post was supposed to solve for it and your client only showS one post if you're subbed to multiple communities that it's cross posted to, no? I only see it once in my feeds.

  • How do I actually find a job that isn't retail?

    Jump

  • What are your interests and skills? Like someone else said, who you know matters more than anything else, but depending on what your interests and skills are, you can go out of your way to connect with people in that space.

    And get used to finding ways of talking about yourself as a good fit for that kind of job. Brag on yourself.

    Also, volunteering is a great way to build up a resume of skills in areas where you have no prior experience. There are jobs at food banks, homeless shelters, etc., but there are also often places like art museums and zoos that need volunteers. Basically, any non-profit you can think of probably runs largely on volunteers. Sometimes it's in a warehouse or doing trash cleanup, but often they're in office tasks like filing, misc office work, answering customer service emails, etc., that would be a great stepping stone to getting paid to do those things somewhere.

  • What was the first thing or video or music or whatever that was so called "pirated" from the internet? How did it happen and was the end user happy? And can you still access it?

    Jump

  • You're actually kinda right. My understanding is the very first jpg image was an unlicensed scan of a playboy centerfold (cropped to exclude the nudity). It was copied and redistributed all over the place, before the internet even existed and it wasn't licensed, but was copyrighted.

  • How should that work? It's relevant to all the communities.

    I'm honestly not sure about how that should work on Lemmy. Is that on me for posting something the day or goes live to relevant communities, or is it on the user for subbing to 'redundant' communities? There really should be a way to have a post have a common ID across communities so it shows up in all the communities but doesn't spam if the user is following all of them. But even reposts don't work like that, do they?

  • What are the most confusing false friends from your language to another that are spelled exactly the same?

    Jump

  • I think boot (you could also say bonnet/hood, lift/elevator, etc), pants, and knob all do have the same meaning between US and UK, they just have additional slang meanings, but those slang meanings are based on their real meanings.

    Chips and Biscuit are better examples of having truly different meaning IMO.

  • Israeli police prevent Jerusalem's Latin Patriarch from celebrating Palm Sunday mass

  • Most/many evangelicals are anti-Semitic. They support action like this because they think it is completing prophecy and will help bring about Armageddon and Jesus's return (that's to really bad, cherry-picked readings of their own scriptures)

  • Volume of US currency in circulation by type of bill (2005-2025)

    Jump

  • Crazy to me that were producing about as many $10s as $2s. I never see $2s in circulation and run into $10s quite often

  • If someone opened a store and just sold stuff at cost, which undercuts every other competitors by alot. Would this not for the big corps to come way down on their prices?

    Jump

  • That's basically what Amazon did. They did it even worse: they sold many things below cost. They ran their entire business burning cash for a long time (surviving off money raised from investors and later from going public and selling stock), driving other book stores out of business. Once they had enough market share and less competition, they negotiated tougher deals with publishers for lower costs and raised their prices to be at least a little profitable (they still sell some things loss-leader and many things at cost).

    Edit: publishers, not punishers!
