If that's real, that would be after he was struck, right? The bullet is to his left, and he was shot from his right

Crazy. This is a good article to point to when people say everyone used to be better. Aside from all the, you know, racism, sexism, etc.

They did it once, then did it again and not only is it still just a fine, the fine didn't even go up. Given inflation since then, the fine actually went down in real terms.

That'll teach them for sure! /s

No, I don't think so.

The Earth's density is 5.51 g/cm³.

For comparison, a baseball has a density of 1.3 g/cm³.

Even just the Earth's surface crust has an average density of 2.7 g/cm³ (it's more dense under the ocean)

Unless you can compress a baseball with your hands, you're not making a dent in the Earth.

The only way it would work would be if your strength increased proportionally with your size, which isn't the case normally for humans (someone 20% taller than another person isn't necessarily 20% stronger than them).

Yeah, saw something after I left the comment. It was Minecraft per se that was down. It was the x box authorization/login system. Even bigger!

How does Minecraft even go down? Was it the MS-run Realms that were down? The entire x-box account authorization system?

He was always a grifter. When I was in college in the late 90s he had a financial responsibility program for college students to help them learn how to get out from college debt they were in the process of racking up. It was something like $40-50 a session for a 6-8 week course. That would be roughly $75-90 today.

I watched way too many of my friends give away money to that guy.

That used to be really common. Movie novelizations would come out before the movie, along with soundtracks, etc. It was part of the promotional campaign.

Interesting because they've published things on home media in Europe fairly quickly and consistently. You just have to import them. At least most of the shows I've been interested in (Marvel Defenders, etc)

Why on earth is there a picture from "Scott Pilgrim vs the World" in this article? And with no attribution or caption.

And Babe Ruth and Sammy Sosa weren't hitting against the same kind of pitchers. I'd say Ruth and Gibson were probably facing pitchers and fielders with more in common than those of different eras. Stats always come with context. Doesn't mean they don't belong together in the same list.

The expansion is based on internationally established definitions of the continental shelf, and comes from research and surveys conducted by various groups going back to 2003, confirming where the continental shelf actually is.

Interestingly, this doesn't include the water column above this territory, so it doesn't mean control of fishing or shipping lanes. Only seabed/underground mineral/drilling/pipelines control. Depending on policy and which political party is in control at the time, this could mean preventing others from drilling these areas, or (more likely?) making a profit off allowing drilling here.

Most of the addition is in the Arctic, but includes territory around the whole country.

Either in a client (I've been using Jeroba) or in my Lemmy profile. I'd love to be able to block words I don't want to see stuff about... Like trying to avoid spoilers for movies, or just wanting to avoid mentions of certain people, but without blocking entire communities.
