Can you enlighten us? From what I recall, the extent of that “controversy” was that Obama’s tan suit wasn’t solemn enough to wear to a conference about war.

This is definitely not true. Teslas can absolutely go through a car wash. They do recommend touchless ones, but pretty much every manufacturer does.

It’s called voir dire, and it’s more complicated than that. For a case this size the counsels will likely have done focus groups to see what traits, etc. tend to test well against the client. So yes, they are theoretically screening for biases, but the selection is ultimately up to both councils, so it’s a balancing act of stacking the jury in your favor.

When you describe it like that… I feel like it makes more sense. Like, of course the penguin is gonna want his safety stones. I buy that.

If looking to keep the general spaghetti form, bucatini can’t be beat.

What the fuck are you talking about

Excellent contribution

Unless they arbitrarily defederate. Which you wouldn’t be aware of unless you’re following specific communities, which you may or may not be able to follow without making separate accounts.

And like, I understand the intention. The fediverse is a good idea. But let’s not pretend it’s “easy”. Average users are subject to the whims of admins as much or more than on Reddit, because here, admins can effectively hide /r/piracy, and you’ll never have known it even existed. Understanding the mechanics that allow that process is more complicated than learning reddit. I’m not prepared to say it’s worse, but it’s different.

This is fantastic and if I heard you say that in person you’d ironically be my go-to

Do you find yourself having to think about “optimal use” of the house? Or can you just live your life as you would have prior to ownership and reap the benefits of the engineering?

Close enough! Tripped at the finish line

I was in like 3rd grade, the word was passed on to us in real time but I didn’t really understand what had happened until later.

Also this is a clever way to get a feel for the distribution of ages of Lemmy users… I like it.
