20 seconds, Germany. Waiting while they checked if my name was on the list.

There’s a great section in the second Hitchhiker’s book about this exact topic – if anyone’s interested.

If anyone were ever to work behind him on something they’re very familiar with, they’d have to tear it all down and rebuild it because he just invents his own way as he goes

That’s not the virtue you think it is.

Maybe start rendering pages right?

Vanilla Music – the music player I use.

Not a shitpost.

Since I don’t like Veritasium, I’ll suggest the CGPGrey videos:

every developed country in the world casts itself as the greatest country on earth

Not Germany.

For once.

And for the time being.

Is that Tom Scott from the future?

markdown

(Pressed Shift+Return after every word.)

Not in markdown.

But it works in other word processors (like Word, libreoffice) that distinguish between line breaks and paragraph breaks.

Example: Type

Once upon a midnight dreary  
While I was pondering, weak and weary  
Over many a quiant and curious volume of forgotten lore  

To get:

Once upon a midnight dreary
While I was pondering, weak and weary
Over many a quiant and curious volume of forgotten lore

(You can highlight the source code to find the extra spaces at the end of each line). Note that this is different from paragraphs, which add spacing between them:

Once upon a midnight dreary

While I was pondering, weak and weary

Over many a quiant and curious volume of forgotten lore

Once upon a midnight dreary

While I was pondering, weak and weary

Over many a quiant and curious volume of forgotten lore

This is how markdown works. There is no way to disable that. This is an old convention from when text editors didn’t wrap lines automatically and enables you to write long paragraphs of text, breaking the lines as it makes sense to you, without creating a paragraph each time.

See the Lemmy help page on markdown or the Markdown Guide.

Even international waters (or, as I just googled, the “high seas”, as is the more appropriate term) have laws. Usually you are subject to the laws of the ship’s flag state.

Too bad being dead gives the −100% strength debuff.

[Edit:] Sorry, I didn’t realize that this was the thread that took “die in funeral” part literally.

Not the corpse, but those who helped him.

Heavily depends on the jurisdiction that applies to you when you die. People will be better able to help you if you disclose that.

Please don’t use your phone while driving.

I once asked a cashier in Germany if she thought self-checkouts would take away her job. She said she liked them because there’s enough to do anyway and they take away the boring task of cashier-ing.
