This led to a very confusing discussion in the replies about the varying fares and systems of public transit in the Oakland-San Francisco area in c/fuckcars@lemmy.world

Just think: the public transport system in the bay area is one of the better ones in the u.s.

Hm. Not quite convinced, but I'll take that into consideration

That pic of Downey low-key annoys me. Comes off as so pompous

And if you like GOT for the intense, graphic stuff, this series has that in spades*

Mr. Ramaphosa turned to look at the screen as Mr. Trump narrated, and then questioned the location of the scenes in the video, saying he didn’t recognize them as in South Africa.

Elden Ring. Somehow failing my way forward helps. Also, going back and slaughtering creatures that used to one shot me

Why does it feel like dominant women who are warm, caring, and protective don't exist in online media? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

I appreciate Rachel Pollack's commentary in 78 Degrees of Wisdom, on the Strength card for just this reason.

Who is an actor or two that will immediately pull you into seeing a movie? in c/movies@lemmy.world
[–] classic@fedia.io 2 points 2 weeks ago

I liked Twilight 2, actually. Just happened to see it in the right moment that it worked for me. Never watched the rest of the series though

I did. I'll have to check, but I think I've seen a fair amount of his post-twilight films. Like Radcliffe, he generally picks interesting projects, if nothing else

Cosmopolis, Good Time, High Life, and ofc The Lighthouse being some of them

Edit: spelling

I would've never expected to say this 17 years ago (don't linger on that detail too long), but Robert Pattinson

What's the link for the furry hacker hosting in the Netherlands? I guess it's the influence of the fediverse, but this scenario does sound more trustworthy

Do you wish a Happy Mother's Day to your friends who are mothers or just to those in your own family? (fedia.io)
 

And what's a good friendly message or meme to send just to say I think they're great at being mothers?

I'm looking to buy something like a reverse wheelbarrow, what do I call that? (fedia.io)
 

I'm looking to cart products around to sell on foot.

Basically I want a box on wheels with bars in the front that I can lift and then walk forward. Similar to the idea of a rickshaw, but instead of seats for people, a container that can hold ~200lbs of weight. Or the type of thing you'd connect to a bike, except I want to just pull it on foot. The added element is that I want to be collapsible or able to be dismantled when not in use. Surely this must exist but I have no idea what term to use to search for it.

"Rickshaw" mainly brings results related to pedicabs. The closest I got was "utility cart" like this for example. But the problem with these, unlike a rickshaw style design, is they don't scale well with the addition of weight where two wheels is easier than 4, depending on the surface. Also, versions that can be taken apart of collapses aren't rugged enough.

I've used a hand truck put into the flat configuration in the past. But that lacks the box component to contain the products. I can stack boxes on it, but that gets unstable. And, again, the 4 wheel flat design doesn't scale well with weight compared to the rickshaw concept.

So, yeah: what do you call that?

Just played Area 51/Maximum Force at a retro-arcade. Are light gun shooter games still a thing? Any recent versions available for PC? (fedia.io)
 

And, if they are, any recommendations for a gun controller?

If you donate to a service, do you so anonymously? (fedia.io)
 

Like if you want to donate to a website that maintains trackers, or files, do you take steps to make it anon, or just use paypal or whatever? If you do, how do you go about doing that?

There should be a term for people who never really returned from the pandemic's social isolation (fedia.io)
 

People who haven't really resumed socializing at levels they used to, people who lost the capacity to regulate during interpersonal interactions, people who lost trust in others... I encounter lots of partial returners out there

Is there a way to crop the field of vision / frame of the webcam? (fedia.io)
 

I'm on a Legion Lenovo Slim 5. The webcam shows too much area around me during video calls (the browser based teleconferencing tool that I use doesn't have settings to adjust this).

I tried the cameractrls app, but it doesn't offer any way to crop or zoom in. Any other suggestions?

Is there an e-reader that would allow you to edit an .epub file? (fedia.io)
 

Beyond just marking up an e-book, are there any devices that would also allow you to edit the file itself?
