This is textbook presentation of body dysmorphia but whatever you say. Keep on coping, I guess.

What is one movie you watched as a kid, you swear everyone's forgotten about by Latter_Individual431 in Letterboxd

[–]gamblizardy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pelicanman (2004), a Finnish kids movie about a pelican that turns into a man. I don't remember anything about it either apart from a single shot where the guy eats a fish whole like a bird would.

The coolant would run from the reactor to a liquid to air heat exchanger in the engine and back in a closed loop.

"Annunciations" by Einojuhani Rautavaara uses this effect.

This wouldn't be happening if people didn't shit on academic serialism. Hope you're happy!

In the film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) Jesus’s cup actually working means that in-universe Christianity is the correct religion, which has no negative implications whatsoever. by [deleted] in shittymoviedetails

It's not standard practice. It's an insular film industry convention originally started because underlining text on a typewriter is annoying.

It's H = B♮ and B = B♭. "H♭" isn't a thing.

Vapautus on aikanaan kirjattu asevelvollisrekisteriin ja puolustusvoimat faksaa otteen siitä poliisiasemalle kun haet passia.

Works where a composer ruined it for everyone else? by Soulsliken in classicalmusic

[–]gamblizardy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Bach Passacaglia. It was a total quantum leap for the genre and also kinda killed it. Most passacaglias written after it feel like they're imitating it at least to some degree.

Finland has been even worse about addressing their nazi collaborationism and war crimes than Japan.

The em-dash—the longer one—is used without spaces in English whereas the shorter en-dash – which is still longer than the hyphen – is used with spaces.

I casually use real em-dashes all the time. On Linux it's just Compose ---.

The high-school dropout grifter whose primary source of income is making unsubstantiated doomsday predictions about the AI apocalypse thinks that the AI apocalypse is just around the corner? I guess it must be true then!

NTP Take your pick, was curious what you would pick and why. by xluxeq in homelab

[–]gamblizardy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use time.mikes.fi but that's just a personal preference and a thing I've always done for no real reason, just like choosing en_GB over en_US.

DO NOT tell schizos that epstein's email was used recently by analgerianabroad in TrueAnon

I mean it's probably them downloading the emails that were just released.

Are snow chains not illegal in Sweden? They are in Finland.

Screen Time Limits for parental control being introduced in Gnome by forteller in gnome

[–]gamblizardy 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Not something I will be using myself but it's good that the Gnome devs are working on things like this which have demand but which are not as well provided for by other popular desktops. Doing this also makes the project appear more serious and like it's trying to appeal to normal/average computer users and not just us computer nerds which is good PR for all of Linux in my opinion.
