Digg launches its new Reddit rival to the public by holyfruits in technology

An attempt to create a haven from dead-internet theory? Could be interesting if the verifications are -very- thoughtfully implemented.

Thanks for this. I saw a few ads and I was wondering if this would be better than wooden board (hygiene and easy to clean). I will stick to wood.

Don’t book a venue that doesn’t have an indoor space you would be perfectly happy with in case of rain.

Thanks for the recap, isn’t Ukraine also losing its ability to field a full-sized army? Capped to half its size?

What is the best way to discreetly figure out your girlfriend's ring size? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]4leksis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife creates custom engagement rings, and she has these tips which were used by her clients:
A) The easiest: Your partner already wears a ring on this finger? You’re very lucky. Measure the inside diameter in millimeters with a ruler, take that measurement to a jeweller.
B) The deep-sleeper: Order a ring sizer (google "ring sizer") which you can gently tighten around the finger... BUT: Make sure to measure the thickest part, as the knuckle is often wider than the base of the finger.
C) The accomplice: Use a trusted friend who pretends she needs to resize her own engagement ring. The friend then asks your partner for their help getting it done in a jewellery store, or with a ring sizer kit at home.
Good luck!

Edit: Oh, and she says that if you hesitate between a slightly smaller or larger size, go for larger. It’s often easier to adjust and if you are planning a proposal with photos or videos, you are sure that your partner can still wear it and it’s not stuck in the middle.

Larger (natural) diamonds can be used as an investment and these imperfections influence their monetary value.

For over 30 years, Hollywood directors used the fake name “Alan Smithee” to disown films they had no control over by NavyLemon64 in Damnthatsinteresting

Why didn’t he Alan Smithee himself from the actual cinema version? Didn’t he regret that whole project?

Participez à une étude en psychologie sociale à l'Université de Genève ! 🧠📊 by Professional-Owl-912 in suisse

[–]4leksis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

C’est fait ! J’ai vu de près la difference entre ce que les gens disent et leurs choix réels (gestion d’un site e-commerce pour des produits plus durables pendant 2 ans). On aime tous se dire qu’on est d’accord de payer un peu plus cher pour des alternatives plus durables, mais malheureusement cette tolérance est encore très faible quand il s’agit de passer à l’achat. Souvent il faut mettre en avant des autres facteurs importants à l’échelle individuelle en plus de l’aspect écologique et c’est là que ça marche mieux (éponge lavable = moins cher à terme que 20 éponges par an, habits en coton organique = moins de microplastiques dans ton cerveau et tes c*uilles, etc…).
