Canada@lemmy.ca•She thought finding a stolen Amelia Earhart statue would come with a hefty reward. It only damaged her reputation | CP24
4·9 days agoSimplest solution is often the most correct. However, according to the article, he was actually in jail at the time. So it’s possible they are the fence, but I suspect someone else actually stole it. Interesting nevertheless.
When I worked in the Arctic (mineral exploration), someone from the small community we were staging in broke into our helicopter and stole the emergency kit one night. Without it we were grounded. We put out a “reward for return, no questions asked” and got it back a few hours later by someone who “found it on the side of the road”. We didn’t pursue legal action, because doing so would mean the next time something like this happened in the community, we couldn’t offer a reward and expect it to work. Conversely, we probably encouraged them to do it again. Game theory is weird.
Downvote for AI slop.

This product has been tested on animals. They like sunlight, we’ve discovered.
I ask this, or for their stealth modifiers, and then roll behind the screen just to fuck with them sometimes. But it’s actually quite useful. I do this once in a while and it trains them not to overreact (and assume ambush) when I ask them for realzies.

Penner is a common Mennonite surname, and there are are a lot of Penners in Canada. Mennonite low German (Plautdietsch) is more weirder.
The wiki page has some good sample texts comparing it between Dutch and Low German.

My surname (Unrau) is also Mennonite, but could be German.
This concludes my TED talk.

4·29 days agoOn the flip side, I like that our courts publish proceedings. If we’re having an open and transparent society, and we want to trust in our institutions, then this transparency is required. An conundrum, to be sure.

6·29 days agoI mean, our courts publish proceedings. Wouldn’t be hard to assemble a database from that info.
The accuracy of such a database (particularly when interpreted by an AI) would be hugely suspect. Also, hard to argue with a database when you’re at the border being detained – the guy detaining you didn’t create the database.
Whole thing reeks.

Probably not. Reddit post from four years ago has this image, and that’s from before AI was good enough to do fingers. https://www.reddit.com/r/sbubby/comments/kgjoai/my_neighbor_baphomet/

Counterpoint. If she is high enough fey, this creates so many opportunities for the DM to fuck with the player in fun and creative ways.
Eg: spell fails, but she pretends it works. Discount applied, item is cursed. Etc. All charm spells cast by user now have inverse effects, and their feet smell bad.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is there anything you're into that no one or basically nobody is into?
2·3 months agoFair, but you can still post about it in the more general cars communities, no?
Even Reddit didn’t start with all these specialized subs. It started without subs at all, actually. And then the big general subs were born, and only later the niche subs were born because the signal to noise ratio in the big ones got too bad. Post your content here in the general communities until the signal to noise ratio warrants a dedicated offshoot.
This advice generalizes. There aren’t enough fans of each sports team here yet to have team specific communities, but there are enough fans of each sport to have general communities for that sport. Branch later.
