It’s been mostly privatized by a company based in the state that spends crazy amounts of money on lobbying

Like Minneapolis and Toronto do because of cold and ice. Not an unusual adaptation. Las Vegas also does it because of heat.

You can instantly turn anything into a weapon and you can instantly drop the floor out from anyone and drop them from the highest point you can reach.

Yes. It’s a weapon and a tool like an axe is a weapon and a tool

Thanks

Then clearly architecture photography isn’t your thing. I recommend you don’t up vote it and move along with your day.

Lemmy is a funny place. Most of the time when there’s a little-used social media site, people are grateful for those who actually post content (not bots just mirroring reddit posts).

But on Lemmy I get complaints that people don’t like that I post once (edit: or twice) a day with relevant content.

Bad on me for actually posting content, huh?

It’s not my fault the place is so dead that 2 post per day looks like I’m flooding it.

And the crossposts are the right way to do it so I’m not over burdening the individual-run servers.

Portland, OR, actually View from an Amtrak train headed to Seattle

Gimp can’t attach the new stuff Photoshop AI-powered stuff can. It’s a difficult to use clone of Photoshop as it was about 8 years ago.

I didn’t take good enough notes that day, and it was a couple of months ago

I can tell you this one is an early (for the USA) VW Beetle

Why would any developer not use a tool that would make them more efficient?

Using AI doesn’t only mean it’s vibe-coded by a novice.

If you’re upset about this, are you also upset they use an IDE instead of notepad?

Sure. Just don’t distribute it to others

Travel is the interesting one to me. The Nether has the 8x effect on coordinates. Something similar? Even bigger multiplier? A divisor (so Overworld is to the Sift what the Nether is to the Overworld)?

There will be multiple portals into the Sift from the over world, but will it be like the End where all End portals go to the same place, or like the Nether where they can go to different places?

It’s not a repost.

I posted a similar image taken on the same day that was processed in b/w.

Or are you asking about posting to multiple communities? That’s just to share with a few communities where it seems to belong. Help create some content around some of the less active groups.

TIL movie theater protectors aren’t higher resolution than home TVs or projectors. Many are still 2k (basically1080p). Even IMAX.

Obviously they’re better contrast ratio, brightness, etc than a consumer projector. I just really assumed they were at 6k or 8k these days, at least for nicer ones.

Yup

Think about how many things say the name of the airport. Tons of road signs, which are not cheap. Internal signs in the building. External signs. Every shirt and name badge of every employee (hundreds if not 1000). All the software. Every airline has to update stuff.

The common joke is that now people will be “departing from D. Parton”

The state already tried naming it Trump and it stalled when the city (who share control of the airport) didn’t also pass it. Then an airport in Florida took the name, so that’s moot now.

So it is a continuation of the “we can rename the airport something different” momentum, but Trump was a name isn’t really a risk any more. Someone like Fred Thompson would be more likely until Dolly became an option.

We like the idea. The people in Nashville are a little miffed that it’ll cost more than $10 million. We’d rather see that go to transit or education (and I think Dolly would have too).

Just put up a statue in the airport like Austin has SRV and use the money for something better
