I found it really odd that the legislature are able to gerrymander in the first place. Why isn’t this process in control of an independent board? Some of the gerrymandered district maps are laughably corrupt.

I expect actually it will have a profound effect on the number of people smoking. I remember when they banned smoking in public places, smoking declined rapidly since then.
Kids have been bypassing restrictions and purchasing cigarettes for years but the general decline is still happening.


Does that mean you could guess a person’s personality from just their look?


Why would you sit on a urinal, that’s odd


So how does that relate to the article
Agreed. Nice tits.


If it is “Pro” version of Windows then you don’t need an account.


Very lazy


Jesus Christ where do you get the time


Why would you transfer the deeds to the property before the cheque clears?


I don’t know how your links are related to my question. Yes UAE have done bad stuff, no one is saying otherwise, but the parent commenter said some specific things which I now believe to be in error.


If that is AI then it’s now beyond my abilities to detect easily.
We are fucked.


That list doesn’t include murdering and dismembering journalists or destroying homes for some mega project. Is this comment thread misinformation or just confused?


Okay but the article is about UAE, or is this “Middle East” in general.


Murdering villagers for a fake greenwashing project.
Literally chopping up journalists
I’m trying to find details of where the UAE did these, do you have a link? Or it could be that you are referring to Saudi Arabia as that’s the only results I get for these.


He was gorgeous! 🥰 I am sorry for your loss. I hope you remember the good times and the pain that comes with the memories subsides.


Who is cutting onions!?
My old boy is nearly 16. We moved house this time last year and he aged a lot I think from the initial stress. He is comfortable here now.
This cat is like another son. I know that time is short and losing him is going to break me. I get upset just thinking about it.
It is a blessing that we get to be loved by our pets. We can only love them back with all our hearts, but eventually we have to move on without them and I think it will be the most challenging time of my life so far when that occurs.




holy crap tell me about it.
The server this Lemmy instance is on was bought in August 2024 with 512G ram. I bought another 8x 64G in April 2025 for £610. That is ~£75 a stick of 64G server ram.
I just bought another server to go along side this and was originally planning to buy the same RAM again. It is now £500 per stick. So I’ve had to instead donate the extra RAM I bought last year to the new ram-less server.
So that’s £75 -> £500. Absolutely ridiculous. Would have cost me £8000 in RAM when the rest of the server was ~£2k.
I’m also using boost but “bugs are fixed quickly” isn’t my experience.
