Somehow I don’t think Errol Musk knew that much about the geology. Allegedly he bought the shares on a whim without first visiting the mine, which was in a different country.

Mines can absolutely become suddenly unprofitable. You don’t know how much good stuff is in the ground until you dig it up.

The mine went bankrupt in '89, just a few years after Errol bought shares in it. The boss was someone else.

If someone wants karma they could host a modified instance where every post gets thousands of upvotes for free. Other instances can’t really verify whether that’s accurate.

For people who previously used SMS and had their contacts saved in the phone’s pre-installed contact app, WhatsApp could use all those contacts out of the box.

If per-user instance filters are implemented, perhaps instances could have “default blacklists” for new users for stuff like exploding-heads or lemmygrad that most people don’t want to see, with the option to manually un-block them if someone does want to see that.

Brilliant Pebbles. A space-based ICBM interceptor program from the 80s.

The one part of Reagan’s Star Wars that would totally have worked if they’d deployed it, but the Soviet Union didn’t last long enough…

We need more housing.

I think low quality memes/shitposts can go to c/spaceflightmemes, lax discussion here. No need for rules stricter than that.

Lemmygrad is blocked from federating with most other instances but still is a pretty large instance. Though that instance in particular is not very likely to look towards IPO.

It could happen if there was a very popular instance that didn’t federate with others.

Because lemmygrad is pretty huge and other instances don’t want their new users to be met with a flood of tankie content, most instances are blocking lemmygrad.

Unfortunately, rent control does have issues in the long run. Less profit for landlords does mean less money invested in new construction by people looking to make a profit. Less new construction eventually leads to shortages. It’s great for those who already have housing, but those searching for a place to live have it more difficult under strict rent control. Though with how long construction projects take from planning to opening, this effect takes decades for any change to be noticeable.

I don’t have a script to automatically subscribe to a list of communities on a new account yet, that’s a bit more difficult…

Yeah, that’s why I’m here. Ironic that the current status is that the site is down but 3rd party apps work…

Site seems to be back up now.

I can open r/ukraine on RIF. 3rd party apps still work.

RIF still works lol.

German “Catastrophe” is “Katastrophe”. “Katzastrophe” is “Katze”+“Katastrophe”, which in english would be “cat” + “catastrophe”… oh.
