The most popular brand of matches in Denmark is called Tordenskjold. In the late 1800s, Sweden had a large export production of matches, so a Danish manufacturer put Tordenskiold's portrait on his matchbox in 1882, in the hope he could once more strike at the Swedish (Danish: give de svenske stryg).[13] The Tordenskjold brand was bought by a Swedish company in 1972.[14]

Ouch.

Haha, the internet did not fit on a 1.44mb floppy in 1998. Curious to know what was on this‽

1998 was well into the CD-ROM era and the internet was full of .mp3s and .isos by then.

Raccoon was fantastic and you should be proud of what you accomplished! It's a great app and I'm sure whatever else you work on in the future will be awesome.

It's not that it's on the 172.16.0.0/12 range. That's totally normal and used for all kinds of stuff.

It's that it's in 172.16.42.0/24 which is the default dhcp settings for a wifi pineapple. It's the /24 mask given on the .42 that's a little suspicious because that's not a common range for anything else.

Being assigned one of those specific 253 hosts with that subnet mask would definitely make me think twice.

you know what in c/196@lemmy.blahaj.zone

Pretty sure it's an autocomplete (like copilot or something)

They were typing

progress != "Hold"

And the ai autocomplete suggested

progress != "Hold onto your butts!"

Hence why the completion part is in grey (it's a suggestion)

But what volume would it be? Is it a small amount of glitter or a lot? What's the g/cm³ of glitter? What about tiny bits of uranium? I feel like all the little bits of air between the glitter particles would lower the density compared with just a solid block of uranium which would increase the volume but....

I feel like someone should put some numbers in this thread.
