In my home country of Finland, you can be elected from prison.

Afaik just a plurality can be enough

If nobody reaches 270 electoral votes, rather than having a second round, the congress decides who wins. FPTP in general. And that most states would give all electoral votes to a candidate with 51% of the vote.

Some features, such as melanin levels, are due to evolutionary pressures. High levels of melanin protect you from the sun, lower levels of melanin boost your vitamin D production.

Other features are just random. Over time, human populations were affected by random changes that weren’t exactly useful but not detremental either. They’re called sprandels. According to a quick Google search, blue eyes don’t seem to have any advantages, but not really any major disadvantages either, so that would be an example of that.

I’ve had both H450 and HD458, had the same issue on both of them, though as you note only on one side. Apart from that and them repeating “connection lost” forever, they are great headphones.

Sennheiser noise canceling over the ear headphones are comfortable enough to sleep in even if you’re a side sleeper

Hard disagree. If you accidentally cover the mic in the right way, you’ll be greeted by a loud, high-pitch feedback noise that will violently wake you up.

as cheap as it gets in my area

That’s not a very good approach to assess prices

Neither my phone internet nor my home internet has a GB limit. The phone internet costs 25€ a month, and home internet 30€.

You subscribe to communities, which are hosted on different servers. Upvotes and downvotes are what they are. AFAIK there is no karma counting here.

Does hue make sense at all? If yes, you could calculate the vector mean (convert degrees to x and y axis, average, and convert back to degrees) and get something sensible out of that.

Sitä itsekin kelailin kunnes tajusin että tätä saa jokaisesta ruokakaupasta täällä Ruotsissakin

No and I don’t have any intentions to. It being a company means it has or it will have ads, and I have no interest in seeing more ads that I already have to.

University bureaucracy

Wii, PS3 and Xbox 360 becoming retro consoles

They can be fucking annoying. Like we get it, you sit down and think you’re somehow superior for being different. Otherwise I take no issue with them.

Greetings from Sweden, here shared washing machines are really common and generally not disguisting at all.

There are also solutions to people behaving badly in apartment buildings. Unfortunate if nothing was done at yours, but it’s definitely not an impossible problem to solve.

Wouldn’t it be just a lot easier to prevent them from selling it in the first place

Microblogging is definitely useful for many things, short and quick thoughts, links to news articles, jokes, memes etc. You can also comment and share things easily. Microblogging actually resembles instant messaging in a lot of ways, just with an undefined ’group chat’ size.

I find it kinda funny that Twitter has become so toxic that people start thinking there must be something wrong with the format.

Also RSS clearly can’t replicate a big chunk of the desirable properties of microblogging (eg. easy sharing and commenting).

What’s the point of using 2FA on non-crucial accounts anyway? If somebody wants to hack my lemmy account or something, I don’t really care at the end of the day.

Oh so they are not new users coming in? Well that paints a pretty different picture then
