Amazing present for insert your own name here

Yeah, seems like I was too naive here…

Most horsehair comes from slaughtered horses. Hair for bows comes from tails of horses in cold climates, and is sorted by size. It comes primarily from stallions and costs $150–$400 per pound because of the sorting needed to extract long hairs. Mongolia produces 900 tons of horsehair per year.

I didn’t mean to justify horsehair products but seriously thought that you wouldn’t need much of it to produce a couple of violin bows and that it sure won’t hurt the horses. But man… 900 fucking tons and - as you predicted - horses are mostly killed.

And apparantly there’s also a practice to pull out the hair and whiskers rather then cutting it off. And this is apparantly not even done to get the hair but to improve the horse’s look.

3. The violin industry is the worst […] use bows with horsehair. […] genuine leather straps. […] ivory […] goat skin

How comes that horse hair is considered worse than skin and ivory? I would say removing a couple of hairs should be completely painless to a horse. Meanwhile, skinning requires killing of the animal. The removal of the tusks is at least very painful and sometimes also deadly for elephants.

I only ever used it for 3D printing but FreeCAD apparantly also has a floor plan functionality. I found this video that might give you some insights on how it looks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMk7pdnEnXM

When using FreeCAD for 3D printing, you don’t necessarily have to add measures/constraints to everything, so I’d assume it’s similar here.

How the hell can one have patent of ‘catching a creature through aiming’ or even more crazy to me ‘riding a creature’ in games? Both concepts exist in so many games and even in real life. I mean did Nintendo never hear of horses?

Ey, stop putting so much pressure on these hardworking people! They already had the intend once to send out an invite for a brainstorming session to create a first draft of the concept of the plan! But then they got distracted by all these important people tasks that you folks dont have any idea of! Be more patient and show some respect! Like Trump when he visits a cemetry.

Personally, I don’t like noticeable make-up. If it’s barely visible, it’s fine as well but in general I like ‘no make up’ the best.

It’s also not only about looks:

• If you wear make-up, you have to be careful with rain, touching the face, kissing etc.
• It may take a lot of time to apply.
• It’s expensive.
• It’s rather bad than good for your skin.
• It’s bad for the environment (more trash, animal testing, contimination of water etc.).

No make-up = Win-Win-Win-[…]

What is CSAM? It is an abbreviation for many things apparantly. Are you referring to ‘Child sexual abuse material’? Did you encounter such things on Lemmy?

So far I luckily didn’t come across anything like that but I also blocked all porn-related instances that I saw so far.

Yeah, makes sense in the end even though it’s hard to grasp for me. Especially if the object on top is freely rolling and therefore feels somewhat decoupled to me. I imagined the train below the bike to behave like a tablecloth pulled from underneath a glass and where the glass keeps in the same place thanks to inertia.

But coming back to my initial statement, if the train’s movement doesn’t impact the point of landing, does it increase the difficulty for the stunts? Or is it more for the nice effect in the video?

Oh, is it? I thought that’s just applicable in an enclosed space. So if I jump on top of a moving something, I should still land in the same spot?

I didn’t say they’re easy. I’m not a biker but from my outsider perspective - timing aside - this didn’t look harder than doing the same performance on the ground. If I’m wrong, please enlighten me, I’m willing to learn.

So it’s for sure a great achievement to master the timings etc. but aren’t the jumps rather easier than harder compared to a non-moving track? I mean, you have to jump ‘only’ upwards and don’t have to use any of your momentum on distance. Or do I oversee something?

I think normally they are made with mesh not transparent hard plastics. If you can speak of normal at all when it comes to cat backpacks. :D

As sudo applies only for a single command, removing the cover is more like su, no?

sudo would be more if above every covered button there was a tiny hole through which you could push it with a needle or so.

I have ‘night mode’ and ‘extra dark’ in my quick settings right below the slider. If I can get rid of one or both with an updated slider that’d be a great improvement. Never understood why smartphones are so super bright by default.

Is Johnny the brother of little Bobby Tables?

I think it would continue even after it’s own deletion as the binary is already loaded into memory, so process is not dependent on the file system. Still doubt that it’ll complete successfully. Most likely the system crashes in the middle.

I’d be completely on board with that proposal. There are many differentiators in sports that contribute to your success. Your sex might be a very important one but definitely not the only one that matters.

I would group different athletes based on skill level, strength, height or whatever is relevant in that dicipline. Being born with a penis or not shouldn’t matter.

If we say that for a specific kind of sport the level of testosterone is the most important factor to success, than that should be used for the grouping. That way, men with low testorone would be the same ‘league’ as woman with a medium testosterone level and woman with a really high testosterone level would play along men with a medium level of testosterone.

From my perspective, this would not only end all these gender discussions in sports but also make the lower leagues way more interesting and more fair for both genders.
