Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What’s fuelling the rise of the far right?English
10·9 hours agoChuds noticing things getting worse, and their leader offering solutions and someone to blame. It’s always been like that. Happened in Germany in the 1920s, happened in the US in the 2010s.
Now that it’s accelerating, it’s gonna be interesting to see which conclusions are drawn after their chosen ones have been in charge almost the entire time.
Until used, then it’ll smell like something else

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Does the average person know that jet fuel is just high grade Kerosene and not some specialized fuel that blows up easily?English
1·2 days agoWell, it would’ve collapsed either way, as you can see on the pictures during the fire that the metal is starting to buckle uniformly around the entire floor with the fire. But patches without insulation probably meant that it collapsed sooner than it could’ve.
Didn’t help anyone trapped, so the net result is the same in that I fail to see how 30 minutes extra before it crumbled would’ve made any difference

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What happened to NFTs and what where they in Retrospect?English
132·2 days agoNFTs, like blockchain in general, are public write-only databases. The only difference is that NFTs also contains references to things such as media (pictures).
They’re still around, but like all other fads that are poorly camouflaged
pondicherryponzi schemes (ducking autocorrect), they’re practically worthless.An NFT doesn’t dictate ownership, neither de jure nor de facto.
While I find the concept of public write-only databases interesting feom a technological standpoint, an actual use case has yet to be discovered.

2·3 days agoIIRC, the materials were fine, but the spray-on fireproofing left large patches uncovered. While not a direct cause, it certainly didn’t help.
WTYP has a pretty good episode on the entire thing

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What about your current life wouls be the most surprising to you half a lifetime ago?English
10·3 days agoI’ve heard about this guy named Tony who still skates at the age of 58. He’s pretty good at it too. I wonder if he ever considered a career in it.

2·3 days agoThat made me curious: what’s your current field? And has your college degree been useful in another way than originally intended?

13·3 days agoAt 21 years old, I would never have thought I’d be living in [REDACTED] with 4 kids, a GF and awell paying job I actually like.
Alternatively, 21 year old me would probably have had his mind blown if I’d shown him all the places in the world I’ve had the pleasure of visiting.

19·3 days agoI got an emergency appointment within hours so they could do a temporary hotfix to relieve the pain so I could at least function as a human again, then I came back in after a week or so for the permanent fix, which obviously took longer and needed to be scheduled.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Transportation Post-Apocalypse: Who gets it right?English
1·5 days agoCanned food or not, to project power by riding horses requires that there are actual horses nearby to steal/buy/domesticate. I live in the sticks, and horses are rare even here. You can be as powerful as you want, but you would still not be able to will abhorse into existence.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Transportation Post-Apocalypse: Who gets it right?English
5·5 days agoI don’t think horses are common enough to be a common post-apocalyptic beast of burden. Besides, the apocalypse itself would probably cause food scarcity, and feeding the horse would most likely instead turn into eating the horse.
But yes, some elite factions m8ght use them for riding, but I suspect it would be very rare. I think The Postman, despite being an awful movie, has elements of realism, in that Holnists (or whatever the anti-Kevin faction was called) would usetheir power to gain access to horses. Or maybe their founder owned a horse ranch during the apocalypse and that’s why they’re powerful.
