"Region" would have to be extremely small around here to not include someone who speaks almost any (natural) language a typical person could think of.

I'll just go ahead and answer a different question: If I could instantly learn any language and my SO could instantly learn it also, I'd pick ASL, because it would be very nice to have a way to communicate that works where talking either doesn't work (loud places, for example) or would disturb others, or just across a large room.

I guess at this point it's all opinions. But Bigfoot being an alien is certainly not one I've heard before.

(I don't think bigfoot exists, but I also pretty strongly don't think aliens have visited Earth, so 'twice as likely' to me is very close to 2*0 vs 0, and seems just as reasonable as it being half as likely.)

My original point is that the aliens question fails to capture belief in the paranormal or conspiracy the way the others do, and should have been specifically worded better to avoid that issue.

Because 56% is twice as much, and I'd be in that number myself if I take the question literally and not assume it means UFOs in Earth's sky.

That would only hold if the law were consistent. This very obviously only goes this single direction.

I assume the question didn't make the distinction between Aliens that "exist somewhere in the universe" and "have visited Earth"

Clearly the directors are either making bad choices or choices that only make sense in an actual theater. (In my opinion it's that first thing)

However this is implemented, it wouldn't be the default volume control on the remote - that would stay as-is. I'm thinking an on-screen menu with clear labels or something.

Just seal it in dough (as in soup dumplings) then deep fry them.

I've had deep fried butter.

Depending on how pedantic one wants to be, this ranges from "It's already happened, twice!" to "It's already happened, hundreds of times (47 in the US alone)!"

Also cats have been mayors of small towns already.

I have to admit a song is popular when I recognize the v= code. It certainly does get a ton of listens, year after year.

I guess I'm not understanding your concerns. People with artistic skill can already do anything they want to any audio they want. (Note: that was Way before all this AI junk existed) And I don't really see how this affects that much.

As for settings, I'm thinking three/four sliders. Much less than a graphic equalizer. It's just volume control.

 

The app in the screenshot is URLCheck, it is my "default browser" and allows me to see where a link is going and edit it or choose what to open it in.

It's showing that the ! link I tapped on the bottom of the screen got an "https:/" (one slash) put in front of it instead of being treated as a proper link to a community.

The same thing happens with @ links:

A screenshot showing that a user-link from a post summary ended up with part of a protocol prepended to it

 

Note: this is a true story, it happened a couple hours ago.

We were at the skating rink. "Low" by Flo Rida was playing. Suddenly a little kid spun out in front of us. Fortunately she wasn't hurt when she hit the floor (she hit the floor), next thing we knew Shawty got low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low.

She was fine and got up on her own. Kids are rubber.

 

Here's a mild introduction to their style. (Also just one of my favorites)

 

The links inside the linked post are relative links, such as xkcd which is a link to /c/xkcd@lemmy.world

Boost does not open them when tapped, flashing an error instead.

There are unfortunately some subreddits which are still the best place to find timely info about certain topics - for example video game subs run by the developers of the game. Lemmit is a way to subscribe to those while not giving Reddit any more "engagement" or ad views.

The bot that runs Lemmit only posts on its own instance, so users like me only see it when we subscribe explicitly (or the All view I guess, but that's a mixed bag already. Edit: and each user could choose to ban it if they want)
