Another Tribute Tuesday, since there’s no strip today in 1951. This one was created by EBeeler on DeviantArt

Sorry, I wasn't able to find a way to do what DeArrow does. I found some code for one here: https://wiki.sponsor.ajay.app/w/Community#Bookmarklets

But when I tried it, I got "server refused to generate thumbnail." Not sure how to go about fixing it, I'm a bit out of my depth :(

 

Very handy for posting videos to Lemmy, when you need to specify the Thumbnail URL. Found here: https://gist.github.com/huphtur/5557258

Look, Nintendo is bullshit, bullying innocent creators for stupid, paranoid reasons... but c'mon. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

No worries, it's been a rough week.

Bacon is the title of the daily comic strip this panel comes from. The joke is that the cactus on the left has its "arms" (branches?) point up, as most cacti do, and is looking at the cactus on the right with its arms down, and that cactus on the right is explaining that, as a cactus, it doesn't really have any other way to show how it feels.

I don't think you're missing anything, it's not super-duper funny -- just a little silly 😊 .

I can assure you its use is innocent, here.

But after looking up I can understand your concern. It seems to be one of those otherwise innocuous phrases that's been co-opted by miscreants.

 

FTA: "It will launch on May 29, 2025 in Japan with support for English, French. German, Portuguese, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese language options."

So if it doesn't come out internationally (no word on that yet), you could still grab a physical edition from Japan without having to cope with Japanese menus (*cough* DOJ *cough*).

There's an old saying that goes, "One is the loneliest number." Non-programmers usually start counting at one, making it the first number in the count.

Programmers generally have to start counting at 0. So to them, the first number is 0. So the joke is that a non-programmer would say "one is the loneliest number" a programmer would say "zero is the loneliest number" because the numbers they start with when counting are different.

Trump supported congressional Republican repeal-and-replace efforts, but they ultimately failed. One example is the American Health Care Act, a bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act subsidies and regulations that the House passed in May 2017, but failed to pass in the Senate. In June 2020, Trump’s administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court to block the law, but the court dismissed the case.

The reason he failed in his first term is because the legislation died in the Senate, and the legal challenge died in the Supreme Court -- which are both now overwhelmingly Republican.

But you knew that. In which case you're being disingenuous. Or you didn't. In which case you are lazy and ignorant. In either case it's pretty clear that your only goal here is to waste my time. I'm through teaching Civics 101 for the day.

Because programmers start counting at 0! πŸ˜†

Ok, that was funnier in my head...

Trump again calls to 'replace' Obamacare, reopening a fight Republicans tried to close.

House Speaker Mike Johnson criticizes Obamacare and promises 'massive reform' if Trump wins.

Insurance companies aren't the ones in charge.

You may continue to believe one person's suffering is more important than another, and you can try to shout down anyone expressing any fears you personally don't "vibe" with. I'm not going to tone police you. But someday, you might find yourself needing to speak out, and I hope you meet someone like yourself when that happens. I'm sure you'll feel grateful to them.

From the article:

Angel at Dusk (Sanuk, 7th Nov, $14.99) - The newest answer to shmups. A game which is "uncompromisingly skeletal". That is, a game in which every last ounce of excess has been cut away, and only its framework quintessence remains. Bones free themselves of flesh, laying waste to needless entrails! Revealing a skeleton of extraordinarily strength.
