Land value tax. Good luck hiding land. Someone will have to pay the tax on it.

Printed letter paper has about 80 lines per page. Rough numbers let's call it 100. That makes for 1,450 pages. Let's double it by assuming lots of page headers, comments, half-filled pages, etc. So 3000 sheets of paper. A ream of paper is 500 sheets, so we're looking at 6 reams. A ream is about 4 cm thick, but let's call it 5 since there will be air and creases and whatever. So 30 cm gets us to about a foot high for our code, all printed out.

I'm pretty sure my original question was correct, this isn't the code. I'm pretty sure it's the debug output.

It's my understanding that that is the the debug output from the program, is it not?

They're definitely different. "Spicy" is not a word I would associate with a Choco Taco.

It wouldn't. They just added that in there for the scaries and they probably didn't think it through much.

Also we've been doing it for millennia. The evolutionary pressure is already there. These are just the ones with the random mutations that make them slow enough to slap.

It's like asking why gazzel aren't fast enough to outrun a lion.

It's my understanding that the specific direction on this relative motion graphic is just made-up, but it does do a good job of reminding people that we're orbiting the galactic center.

I never like calling mosquitoes the deadliest animal. They're a disease vector, not the actual death-cause.

British voters want to be part of EU more than French and Italians, poll reveals in c/europe@feddit.org
[–] Liz@midwest.social 1 points 1 week ago

It really depends on which trade-offs you consider worth it. Reducing economic friction has huge benefits, even if you have to give up some national financial tools to get it.

They should be forced to switch to the Euro like everyone else. That will prove they really mean it.

Trying to Remove Fixed "Glass" From Door (midwest.social)
 

Do you guys have any suggestions for how to remove fixed glass pieces? It's glued in place very securely, and I can't pry it out no matter what I do. Do you know if there's any solvents that would dissolve the glue but not harm the plastic? I want to refinish the glass to get rid of all the scratches.

WIP Wednesday! For My First Patch, a No-Shoot Target (midwest.social)
 

My first ever patch is going to be a no-shoot target from competitive action shooting. I was going to do a shoot target but it turns out I don't have any tan thread in my random assortment of threads.

I will be getting a proper color selection soon, and proper thread, but for now I'm getting started with what I have. I'm very excited to make my fist patch!!

What are you working on?

unusual circumstances recommendation on embroidery thread (midwest.social)
 

Hi hi

I'm stuck in bed and starting to work on embroidery. All of my threads are wound on a spool. They seem to be general purpose threads as far as I can tell. Right now I'm folding them into four parallel threads and using that, doubled up. (Each stich is eight threads.) Some work better than others.

I'm slowly running out and will need to replace them, but I don't know anything about thread. The normal embroidery-specific threads don't seem to come on spools, which I would greatly prefer. They also have different sizes and I have no idea what's that about.

Basically:

Help! What is a good general purpose brand that comes on a spool? It doesn't have to be embroidery specific, but should be adaptable to use in embroidery.

Thanks!

Fundraiser to Support Free Firearms Classes for Queer and Minority Communities (www.gofundme.com)
 

A Madison local is looking to provide firearms instruction classes to students who might not feel safe taking a normal firearms course. The classes are free to the students to make them as accessible as possible. If you can help out with operating expenses (classroom rent, study materials, etc.) you will help build proficiency and safety in a community traditionally under served in this area.

Thanks!

Fundraiser to Support Free Firearms Classes for Queer and Minority Communities (www.gofundme.com)
 

Hi all,

A fellow enthusiast started teaching firearms courses aimed at folks who aren't typically courted by the gun community. They've been doing this for free since the start of COVID and they are now looking to expand their operation and need to raise funds in order to keep it free. If you could chip in a few bucks to help with next year's expenses, you'll be making firearms proficiency more accessible to people who aren't welcome in other courses currently available.

Thanks!
