I’ve been often wondering, how will we use all this car infrastructure once people advance past private cars?
What will become of that drive-in McDonald’s?

I could imagine some sort of a small-scale factory using the building?
Multi-storey parking garages could also serve as storage space, maybe? The tilted floors make many things more difficult, though.

Glad to be of use!

Oh, and here’s an incomplete Wikipedia article about that cow (and the almost not main character, which is a crow): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mama_Moo

Once upon a time there was a crow who was befriended with a talking cow that really, really liked to sit in a swing! (The original name of the book actually implies that the cow has a child, which is kind of freaky, because there is zero mention about the child, and actually reason to believe the child is nowhere around anymore. Why is the book not talking about the cow’s trauma at all?!)

In any case, once the cow had climbed to a tree for fun, and it was very important that the farmer won’t notice, because cows are not supposed to climb trees. The crow did a good job warning the cow when the farmer was approaching and damn it, I cannot remember what the hell the book tells, wait, maybe in the children’s room there’s another book about the same two animals!

…nope, couldn’t find it. But, would you like to hear a story of a father who recently found three children’s books that should have been brought back to the library a week ago?

I hope this story about a crow sated your appetite for crows!

Sorry for getting your hopes up. It’s there a couple comments up from this one :)

Crows are generally awesome! I’ve only ever met one that I really didn’t like. Want to read a story featuring that one? 🙃

Nope.

Awesome, thanks!

Something even more seagull-compatible than that. I don’t remember what food I happened to have with me, because this happened some, 5-ish years ago? (It also was not a surgical mask, BTW!)

I think I saw her once, actually! A crow was harassing one of the small ones – it looked like it was trying to catch it to eat, probably?

A seagull saw what’s going on and went full-blown “I’m a parent as well, you absolute damn fucker!”, and chased the crow away. And really not just a few tens of metres away or so, but really chased them away from the whole general area where the mom with really cool hair was swimming with her family!

When the seagull came back, I gave it something nice to eat, because, damn, flying rat or not, that was a cool move! And I happened to have something seagull compatible, not just some bread that will do more harm than good.

Anybody know how much each of these two pays the artists? Tidal has been trying to profile as a service where the artists get more money than at competitors, but that does not necessarily mean Qobuz is really different from it in that manner!

Anybody know something about this aspect?

I’m using Tidal on a family plan. No such controls to any extent seem to exist on it.

And “ukset” is (archaic) Finnish for “doors”!

This news article has a video showcasing very well what kind of tear gas the police uses in Finland. The gas is used on the video from 1:10 until 1:40.

So, of if you deploy a lot of external plugins, Facebook can be made kind of worthwhile? That’s aa little funny :)

Yeah, for what I know I my family used to post a lot there as well. Facebook just mostly stopped showing any content from them some years ago. But when nothing really comes out of it, they don’t bother. They post something, I see some commercial content instead.

I post something, they see some commercial content instead.

I’m a bit surprised to hear Facebook works for some people like it worked a decade ago!

But also, Finnish culture is very different from US culture in how we talk and when, so maybe the algorithm just doesn’t recognize the Finnish kind of engagement and considers us utterly uninterested in each other? Or maybe I’ve just been lucky and FB had been hiccuping? Dunno, there’s no meaningful difference between PieFed and the little of what FB fed me that was not crud.

Facebook hasn’t worked that way for me for years. I’m surprised to hear it still does to some! Almost everything in my feed was all kinds of random groups I’m not even a member of. And a lot of content promoting Russian military vehicles in a very ridiculous manner.

I like this text very much!

People should concentrate more on what’s important in life :)

Do you have them on Facebook, then?
I kind of do, but Facebook hasn’t shown me anything from them in years. Makes their being there largely irrelevant.

Just keep sending them cool memes from here or from Mastodon. Some will find them interesting and join up. Most won’t. Also, you’ll need some interesting group they will want to be a member of on Signal or Matrix or XMPP. That way, they also have a chat platform available for their friends as well.

And if you link to something in the Forumverse, link them through an instance you’d like them to use. So, even if the community is on some Lemmy instance, link to it through something such as piefed.social, if that’s what you think would benefit them the most as a choice for a home instance!
It’s a pity this does not work on Mastodon, though, because Mastodon always tries to push users to the instance where the message was written from, if the user is not logged in. Complicates things unnecessarily when the domain is different in every damn link! But with a widely federated Forumverse instance this problem doesn’t exist, because you can link to everything through that. And the people opening the link don’t need to understand anything about Federation. They just see this thing called piefed.social, and that there’s plenty of content you keep throwing at them. Without telling them to join.

Not just any random escalation, though.

The narcissist has a plan they are following their game. If that escalation is part of their plan, that’s is absolutely not how you deal with them. Escalate, by all means. But only in a way that benefits your situation.
