We stayed in Sheerness (where this flight took place), and when my girlfriend saw this she immediately asked “Did pigs fly before women did?”. And the answer turned out to be no, women beat pigs by two weeks: “Sarah Van Deman … was the woman who flew with Wilbur Wright on October 27, 1909” source

I’m not sure that this link really helps your case, given these key points from the description:

The resolution by the British representative, Ambassador Sir Anthony Parsons

demanded an immediate cessation of hostilities between Argentina and the United Kingdom and a complete withdrawal by Argentine forces

Resolution 502 was in the United Kingdom’s favour by giving it the option to invoke Article 51 of the United Nations Charter and to claim the right of self-defence

That’s such a great description of this kind of tech-bro behaviour.

“Hey baby, are you a compelling new novel? Because I’d love to lose myself in your sheets. Like sheets of paper, you know, pages. I’m sorry, I’ll leave now.”

True. I’m certainly at the point where quick jobs that I would have once done in Python quite often get done in Dart instead, avoiding the “context switch” of having to think in Python for that one task.

Yes, when I did a search, I found I had a choice between two quite small and inactive communities, so I went for the slightly larger one. I’ll crosspost today’s post to that community see if it stirs up any more interest.

Yes, I really adopted it due to Flutter, but the dev team really are doing great work to make it a nice language, especially with version 3.

Oof. I got about 65% on the images I hadn’t seen in the post. I must be pretty close to being replaceable by an adversarial network.

Finally! My chance to answer “yes” to this question: https://lemmy.world/post/2192516

Oh boy, did I just buy the wrong domain name.

Really, radio communication is about creating and transmitting those radio waves. Sign language relies on reflected light waves so it’s actually a form of RADAR 😀

What, this Emad Mostaque?

Since light bounces off walls and is thus confined to individual rooms, there is less interference and higher bandwidth, and traffic is harder to intercept from outside.

That’s not really true though. We got home video because it allowed us to watch films at home. There’s an argument that VHS won over Betamax because Sony didn’t allow porn titles on Betamax. Even if that’s true, it was only an advantage for VHS because there was no other easy way to get that content.

Now there is no problem with accessing porn on the internet. In fact the differentiator for many service providers is how to successfully protect households and schools from porn. If Lemmy becomes known as “the porn network”, little Johnny is going to find that loophole closed in short order.

So sad that everyone’s talking about the phone calls rather than asking if Gail’s okay.

This is the best one today. Top work!

Oh sorry I totally misunderstood! I’m glad you’re enjoying that colour choice then!

Haha, that colour is configurable in Settings > Appearance.

There’s some UI work on the way that may help with first impressions.
