If you don’t think mudding and taping drywall is more difficult than it seems, I’m impressed (and a little disbelieving).

as well as the ability to use our minds to travel.

This comment has big “teleport to Waffle House” energy.

Yes, that image is real. Including the text on the banner at the top.

Bad Omens

Are you trying to reference the book/TV show Good Omens while dissing Noel Gaiman?

I ask because I’m not sure many people would get it.

No, you’re confusing cross posts with image hosting. Cross-posting doesn’t re-upload a separate copy of the image, but it should make a separate copy of the post itself. I’m pretty sure that if you were programming your own tool for it, you could make it copy the image too, while still counting as a cross-post.

I’m totally on-board with the notion of not wanting thing B to be deleted when thing A is, but I also want to see at a glance all communities [A, B, C, …] where discussion on the same topic is occurring. I would go so far as to say that intentionally breaking that is bad and should cause instance admins to prohibit use of your tool.

Using what?

(Remember the premise of this subthread is that they’re doing this instead of rockets.)

The other day, I had a reason to want to search for posts of a specific comic that I suspected had been removed, and not having the comic name in the post title made it impossible because the images themselves aren’t included in the modlog. So yes, I support this suggestion.

Cool idea, but please tell me you’re implementing it as proper cross-posting so that they’re linked together for everybody else.

Biking on pavement takes less effort, and pavement is also more suitable for things like wheelchairs and strollers.

Paved streets have existed for thousands of years before cars; there’s nothing wrong with them in and of themselves. It’s building them too wide in order to try to accommodate ever-increasing car traffic that’s the problem.

Absolutely there is. Nobody except ignorant homeowners DIYing a patio ever puts pavers directly on dirt; we’ve known better than that since at least Roman times, if not earlier.

It’s still done the same way today.

Should’ve posted it 3 days late.

The Statue of Liberty, being a symbol of immigration because it’s one island over from Ellis, is basically the one thing that shouldn’t be targeted.

When your Makefile is so fucked up that you have to run it multiple times to get everything to build and link properly.

However slow you think a modern 4Runner or Tacoma is, let me assure you that the “3.slow” (3VZE) in my '94 is worse.

On the bright side…

He’s like a Cold War Bo Burnham, LOL

The powertrain I want is a manual transmission.

Yeah, but it’s still just a single pixel of light from the star. It just changes color slightly when the planet passes in front of it and the atmosphere gases absorb certain characteristic wavelengths.

Nah, even in that second case they should have her dragged out there in an orange jumpsuit.
