why aren’t phones and shit made with 1/4" jacks instead of 3.5mm jacks?

i don’t think asklemmy posts need to ask questions about asklemmy. that’d be pretty limiting wouldn’t it?
cornbread
it’s been done. it is not good and every time i see one of those spam bots i block it. if i didn’t, browsing ‘all’ would be mostly zero conversation reddit links. it makes the lemmy experience much better without them, imho.
as for foss generators, there’s an app on f-droid called Binary Eye for reading and generating assorted bar codes, including qr codes.
i much prefer the 2000 adaptation
lots of kinds of fish. most other carnivores are not cost effective to be eaten regularly.
but it might also be hard to not have imperfections in the face that give everyone an “uncanny valley” sort of feeling that something’s off about it?
yep, precisely so.
do you know this stuff via actually doing taxidermy, or are you just another infinitely curious person?
the latter, i suppose. i’ve had a fascination with the history of sideshows, professional freaks, medical anomalies, and the like since i was a wee lass, and attempts at taxidermizing humans come up somewhat often in that course of study.
they are specific to humans, though fur does help to hide (heh, get it) a lot, so it wouldn’t surprise me for there to be extra challenge to a pig. in addition to the lack of fur though, humans also have very thin skin, which tears easily.
furthermore, if you’re taxidermizing a human, you would generally want the end product to look like that person. most of what makes a human look like themself is not the skin. it’s the bones and muscles and fat in the face, and the perceptions of living humans are incredibly sensitive to subtle variations in those features. to have any hope of recognizability, you would probably need an extremely detailed sculpture of the subject’s head to be made ahead of time to be used as the form. at that point you really might as well just use the sculpture to commemorate the person, rather than wrapping their skin around it at all.
their are a number of technical difficulties with taxidermizing humans that make the results usually not worth the effort. better to just get your bones interred in a ceramic skulpture of yourself.
with clothes on? what? is that a thing? how clothed are we talking here?
original base set starter deck, so, probably that 1st edition foil machamp was on top.
i remember a study okcupid did of their usage data that showed that straight men tended to prefer 18 to 20 year old women, basically throughout their life, whereas women tended to prefer men close in age to themselves. so i don’t think that attraction to old men is that weird or taboo, and if you’re a young woman and prefer significantly older men, you’ll probably find it easy to attract a partner, but do please be careful.
as for me, i’m not into old men, but i’m a big ol’ lesbian, so…
that doesn’t sound like a technocracy or an oligarchy of any kind. that just sounds like direct democracy by lots, unless i am misunderstanding you.
i guess, but only as much as any other oligarchy. you can have democracy where the only people who can vote are people with doctorates in stem fields, or who’re land owning white men, or who have their patents of nobility, or who have at least a million USD in their bank account. but really it’s not particularly in keeping with the ideal that people are usually talking about when they say ‘democracy’.
in my experience, you run off to stay with relatives in another city, or get a cheap motel, all on your own dime. there might be evacuation centers at the fairgrounds or something, where you could set up a tent, but that wasn’t an option for us what with my partner’s asthma and how smoky it was in town last time, so i don’t know any details about that. i’ve never known smoke to do any lasting damage once it has dissapated, but it ain’t good to breath if it’s too thick.
take an umbrella, it’s raining.
if i went to a friends wedding, and they were charging for water, i would just leave. is this even a thing cause it sounds fake as hell.
when people say free software, they usually mean free as in free speech, rather than free as in free beer, as the saying goes. it’s not about money, it’s about if you have a piece of software, having the freedom to use, modify and share it how you’d like.
honestly, i had completely forgotten that some phones, for some completely unfathomable reason, lack an audio jack of any kind. if you are suffering through that, you have my condolences.
