Wikipedia lists influencer as a synonym for internet celebrity, so I guess just when they become famous.
Unless you take the title literally, then it’s whenever they become influential over a statistically significant portion of the population.
Aluminum soda cans have plastic linings, because the acids can dissolve the aluminum. What that means for your drinking bottle, I don’t know.
This is why pirates were wearing eye patches, to be able to enter the hull of the ship and see immediately without lighting up a candle. Fire is not a good idea inside a wooden ship filled with black powder.
This is one theory for why pirates wore eyepatches. We haven’t found any historical evidence to confirm it. Meanwhile, we have at least a few documented cases of pirates wearing eyepatches for protecting a damaged eye.
This is not true. There are a litany of laws that capturing a wild duck from a public park would be a violation of, so don’t do it.
I pirate content that is not in print within my region. Fan subs of Japanese TV shows, emulated games for discontinued consoles, things like that.
As an American who has gotten very used to metric units in studying engineering, the general rule I picked up is that you typically only change units every three orders of magnitude. So 8 decameters would typically be expressed as 80 meters, maybe 0.08 kilometers. Decameters and hectometers are a thing, but they’re not common units. Even centimeters don’t see much use compared to millimeters.
Yeah, dude is asking the wrong question.
Yeah, if you want a single system for heating and cooling, you’d be better off getting a heat pump. It’s the most energy efficient thing for both anyway, from what I’ve been told.
As an American whose only knowledge of UK government comes from sporadic episodes of Politics Unboringed, my first thought would be to replace the Minister for Women with a Minister for Gender Equality. They would have all the powers and responsibilities of the Minister for Women, and also gain any powers and responsibilities that a hypothetical Minister for Men would need.
Sounds like a win-win to me, but again, I’m a dumb Yank lol
But they didn’t decide it directly and arbitrarily, as OP is suggesting might have happened. The power to elect the President is in the hands of the Electoral College, and the House of Representatives. The most that a Supreme Court can do is tamper with the process of tallying the popular vote.
This actually makes a lot of sense. A lot of people are using Lemmy either because they prefer federated web platforms to centralized, which makes it antithetical to corporate interests, or because they’re opposed to Reddit’s API policy, which was a blatant move to squeeze more money out of their users. Either way, Lemmy’s appeal is very anti-capitalist, and since opposition to capitalism is a generally left-wing philosophy, I can totally see why most Lemmy users would be left-wing.
I think the claim that the world is anti-intellectual is somewhat biased. I don’t know if that’s a sampling bias, a cognitive bias, or some other kind of bias. But one way or another, I feel like you’re overblowing things.
