Agreed, I don't see the point of this tbh.

Slightly off topic, but there was a time when Keep did exactly what I wanted wrt making lists. I could say Ok Google, make a list and then walk round my kitchen naming items to add to the list it worked great.

Then they changed it so that instead of going into Keep, it went into Shopping List, which was ok if it was for groceries, but no use if I was making a list of, say, things to pack for a trip.

I could see the Gemini integration being useful there, but ideally only at the end, when I had already made my list and it could say, "Hey, you forgot x, y or z..."

I hope Lemmy doesn't bow to the I want reward, I need my shiny recognition ribbon trend.

That's 100% infantilization of participants.

Agreed. Have some Lemmy gold! ๐Ÿช™

I don't think the movie did all that well. The BBC series is superb though, well worth checking out.

Fortunately for OP, they didn't use numbered bullets, so they're safe!

[โ€“] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That's kind of a low bar

Well, yeah, I agree - but the person I was replying to liked the movie, so I didn't want to be rude! ;-)

[โ€“] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Definitely worth seeking out the TV show, it's much much better than the movie IMO.

Infinite Jest. Just for the sheer impossibility of any attempt to do so :-)

Based mainly on "Nanas", any chance it's a version of this? I know you said Mac, but just in case.

EDIT - also, here's a list someone posted a link to on Reddit, with 400 or so "binary colour" games, which presumably includes black and white: https://www.uvlist.net/gamesearch/?fplat=48&fplatname=Macintosh%20OS%20Classic&ftag=binarycolor&sort=name

Couldn't see anything under banana or monkey, but might be hiding in there somewhere.

A pattern they repeated with Google Wave and Google+, neither of which took off, partly because there weren't enough people using them.

I genuinely thought G+ could have been a FB killer, if they hadn't made it hard to join.

Hope so, I'd be sad to see him leave the Niners.

Seeing the same issue this morning, sure it was working quite recently though.

EDIT - yep, posted a gif 4 days ago and an image a week ago, so something has changed since then.

EDIT 2 - trying that same image again:

And that seems to work. Filesize maybe? Or extension (my first attempt today was a jpg, that one is a png)?

EDIT 3 - jpg, 1.5Mb:

Success. That's a smaller version of an image that failed to post. Bigger version was 2.9Mb, so maybe there's a limit?

In case it helps...

Inside Out 2 - and yes, I thought it was great, although not quite as good as the first one.

Last grown up film I saw was Emily the Criminal, which I really enjoyed. Aubrey Plaza is excellent in it.

 

More sad news, as Gene Parmesan/Colonel Mustard himself passes away. RIP Martin ๐Ÿ˜ž

 

Sorry Norway. Our jammy win in Oslo robbed you of a chance to experience a major tournament. Instead, your place went to a badly organised rabble, with no urgency, no ambition and not even basic ball control.

You should have been in this tournament, and that disgraceful excuse for a Scotland team should have been languishing in 3rd or 4th. How in god's name did we beat Spain?

Sorry Norway, you deserved better.

Of limited interest, I'm sure, but I spent a bit of time working all this out, and wanted to post it before Scotland go 2 down after 5 minutes tomorrow and render it all moot...

So.

If Scotland lose to Hungary, we're out. No ifs, buts, or maybes.

If we draw then we need at least 2 out of 3 scenarios to happen in order to sneak through:

  • Spain beat Albania AND Italy beat Croatia
  • Turkey beat Czechia AND Portugal beat Georgia
  • Denmark beat Georgia AND England beat Slovenia by 5 or more (I think)

If Scotland win against Hungary then any 2 (or more) of these scenarios gets us through

  • Spain avoid defeat to Albania (Scotland would finish better than Albania and also better than one of Croatia or Italy, regardless of their result)

  • Netherlands beat Austria (Scotland would be ahead of both Austria and Poland)

  • England avoid defeat to Slovenia (Scotland would be ahead of Slovenia and also at least one of Denmark or Serbia).

  • There's also the possibility that Slovenia hammer England (Scotland could finish better than England on goal difference and also would be ahead of at least one of Denmark or Serbia)

  • Portugal avoid defeat to Georgia (Scotland would be ahead of Georgia and also ahead of one of Turkey or Czechia)

  • Even if Georgia did win, we could beat them on GD, but we'd have to thrash Hungary, so not likely.

  • No draws on match day 3 in group E. Doesn't matter who wins, as long as two teams do.

  • Or, if there are 1 or 2 draws in group E then it comes down to goal difference, so we would have to hammer Hungary, see above.

And yes, I made a spreadsheet to work all this out... :-)

 

Could have done without this. Not that I rate Dykes all that highly, but we're already thin on forwards. Someone wrap Shankland up in bubble wrap!

I've no idea if this is technically possible at all, but on posts like the one above, where multiple images have been added, it would be really handy to be able to swipe between them as if they were in a gallery. At present it's a case of open one, close it, open the next, etc...

Same for comments, not sure if that would be different than posts.

Thanks :-)

 

How fucking great was that??

If you're going tomorrow night, you're in for a treat, what a set!

 

Great news! So glad to see the Filmhouse reopening :-)

 

Great news this, was such a shame to see the Filmhouse closed. So glad it's not been turned into a chain pub or something.

 

Let's go Niners!!!

 

TLDR - Blue cards will be for dissent and cynical fouls. Two blues means red. Blue plus yellow also equals red.

Weird.

 

Very sad news that AD regular (and of course, director of Scandalmakers), Carl Weathers, has left us. Hopefully he's already got a stew going up in heaven.
