I’m not a lawyer, and maybe this is just a US-centric understanding, but someone “pressing charges” doesn’t force the police to arrest the accused person, let alone actually charge them with a criminal offense. Pressing charges, at least to my understanding, is notifying police of a crime, pointing out the offender, and tacitly agreeing to cooperate if the police need more information.

The artist says there’s no full version available.

Reminds me of blood gnats from The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack.

For anyone struggling to get it:

Maybe I’m missing something, but 3rd degree would be the person is connected with a person you’re 2nd degree connection with, right? That’s why Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon is a thing.

Posters like you keep the fediverse & Lemmy alive. I’m not sure why those other 2 are bothered by people being active, they should be encouraging it. Please keep doing what you’re doing, a ton of us appreciate you keeping us entertained.

This is a list of notes I put together when shopping for couches. Some of it requires getting hands-on with the couch so it won’t work well for online purchases, but you should be at least sitting on a couch before buying it. My notes were cobbled together from information I found online, so big grain of salt.

Old couches are almost always going to be better than new ones because so many companies have dropped in quality over the years.

Take a black light to look for pee spots or stains. Look for bugs (fleas, bedbugs).

Things to look for:

• Touch back of sofa & area under arm rest and see if it’s just fabric. Something solid usually means attention to detail / quality
• Seat cushions that are solid foam wrapped in breathable layer (cotton, down, etc) are the worst quality cushions (degrade quickly over time)
• Seat cushions that have layered foam or glued foam is a good sign and may mean springs in the foam (springs are generally a good thing)
• Take off the seat cushions and see how far apart the springs underneath the cushions are / how many there are. More & tighter packed the better
• Take off seat cushions and look for horizontal connection wires. There should be 2 minimum. Should be able to feel and see through fabric
• Lift up the sofa. If it’s light weight, that’s bad. If it flexes, that’s bad. Good sofas are heavy and don’t flex when lifted
• Don’t buy leather, buy polyester. This is personal preference, but leather is a lot more work to take care of & keep it looking nice
• “Eight way hand tied” isn’t necessarily a sign of quality, but it’s better than s-springs. There can be fake “eight way hand tied”, which is why it isn’t always better

When I bought my couches a few years ago, I got them used off Facebook Marketplace. It took a couple weeks for some decent Ethan Allen couches to pop up, but I got them for ~$400 each.

Derek from NapLab is also a great source. I did my own research before finding his website, but his recommendations matched what I had chosen. It also makes me chuckle to tell friends that a man named Derek will personally email you to tell you what mattress to buy.

The article that this article is based on (found here) has pictures showing that the DDR2 sticks had fake heat sinks put on. The weight is behind the fake heat sink to make it feel more authentic. I had the same initial thought as you, but heat sinks add a decent amount of weight.

Looks like it’s from Meatball Machine (2005)

I have that but with my right hand. It makes proper high-fiving difficult and people just assumed I was lying about not being able to close my fingers properly. It’s really validating to hear someone else with a similar issue.

I named my main & guest networks “I beat my Wi-Fi” and “Tell my Wi-Fi love her”. I’m gonna create a third network to steal yours.

The description links to a part 2. I’ll look for a better source after work.

Edit: I found a close enough source. It’s from Axel Braun’s Avengers XXX parody.

Source comic (NSFW for some blood later in the comic) for the image. It was tickling my brain that it was so familiar.

According to this dictionary, “Africa” was “blackies” and “Japan” was “slant eye”.
