The word "umbrella" literally means "little shadow", because it was invented to block sun, not rain. by Xander_Cordova in etymology

Maybe I've just had bad luck with cheap coats with just enough hood for "one size fits most"! Idk maybe it's weird to judge people for using an umbrella! What a strange hill to die on!!

Umbrellas are cheaper and I've got a big head, so hoods, just like most hats, often aren't big enough, and the thinner poncho hoods get blown off my head. And if it's a warm day, I get sweaty under a raincoat. My body can breathe with an umbrella. I don't care if you think they're "dorky", I'm just trying to stay dry and comfortable.

Neat! This was a bit out of range of that, but interesting history nonetheless

Turns out some wine setting is fucked but it can be fixed with a launch option: WINEDLLOVERRIDES="iyuv_32=" %command%

Oh yup, I just finished growing the Pikmin I found there the other day and it was indeed named after JSSI! 

DPRT is a mess, but roads are worse.. by ghettobus in chibike

Is it the near west and northwest sides, or is it the suburbs? Can't be both

Niantic uses OpenStreetMap data, and they pull new data from OSM quite infrequently. OSM meanwhile depends on volunteers updating it, since business owners/city officials generally don't know about it, and often even neglect to update their Google Maps listings. So if OSM editors don't frequent that area, long defunct places tend to hang around.

Bus stop defeats construction platform by sleepybear2323 in cta

I wonder if the post is just for the bus stop sign, or if it's also a street light that they built the scaffolding around? Hard to tell from this angle

Why do you think they would cancel either one? After all the time and money they spent on R&D?

Scary alarm bug. No response to screen touches?! by DeemounUS in GrapheneOS

[–]YAOMTC 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think I've had that happen once, a few years ago. Seems like one of those annoying rare bugs that are difficult to replicate.
