O.G. San is such a good name.

Ah so he’s just a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude.

Ah yes, the movie where they cast a French person as Scottish, a Scottish person as Spanish, and an American as a Russian.

I think it’s that category of essential employees who are working without pay that this would be most intended for.

Hey, some of us are 35-year-old edgelords

I’m not a marine biologist, so I can’t speculate on what the best alternative is for these whales, but I would like to imagine there are more options than the binary of “kill them” or “throw them to the wolves sharks”.

Marineland is just parroting the euthanize option because they’re upset they couldn’t make a quick buck by selling them to China. It’s a hissy fit tactic to try to un-block the sale.

If the whales are not able to be released in to the wild, I’m sure there are plenty of other facilities out there that would be able to care for them. Marineland might need to pay them to take the animals in, but it should be their obligation to do so if they’re unable to support the quality of life they need themselves.

C’mon Ottawa, force them to rehabilitate and release them, even if it kills the park.

A lot of animals cannot be rehabilitated and released. If they were born and raised in captivity, they have effectively no chance of survival on their own. I don’t know what the situation is for these animals, but I’ve been to plenty of zoos and aquariums in the past that have rehabilitation programs and even they have a few “lifers” who will never leave.

Shit. I was about to quip “Your intern is only 8?” before I remembered what year it was.

Do serial killers normally break out the tape measure before cutting into a victim?

Shutters are less commonly used here, usually found more on older homes. Their intended purpose is protection during storms, but sometimes people install “fake” ones just as decoration.

For light management/privacy, most houses I’ve seen have adjustable blinds inside that you raise or lower to let more or less light in.

A steel “grating” (not sure how it’s called in English) for safety and a twin casement window.

Grating or grates is right, and sometimes people just call them window bars.

Yeah if you have those crank style ones it’s possible at least. I’ve only seen one which was a push to open window with screen on the inside that opened on a hinge, but it seemed like it had a pretty poor seal with the wall as a result and bugs would have an easier time crawling through.

Honestly having the screen on the inside is probably more convenient too. If you’re cleaning both sides of a window where you’d have to remove the screen either way, I imagine it’s easier to remove the screen from inside than outside just given the elevation differences.

Sash windows are the common type used for American homes, though you’ll find a good mix of casements (typically the ones you have to crank to open/close).

The only deal breaker for me would be casement windows that open outwards. The area I live gets a lot of bugs in the summer, and so our windows have screens to help keep pests out while windows are open. Sash windows and casements that open inwards work fine with screens, but casements that open outwards typically don’t.

I will say I don’t like the direction imgur went, but to play devil’s advocate, I don’t think there was any way around it.

The problem is that being an image host used by millions of users is incredibly expensive, and between needing to pay for the infrastructure, content moderators, and (in this case) regulatory compliance, it all adds up.

The only income model they have is ads, which is why they needed to re-tool the UI to hinder users’ ability to direct share images, and converting it to a more social media type of format keeps users on the site so they can cycle in more ads for more revenue.

An ideal internet would not need to rely on ad money to work, but I’m struggling to think of what else could be done at the scale imgur operates, as donation models can barely even keep Lemmy instances above water. If ad money wasn’t a thing, would sites like imgur be able to exist? Maybe they shouldn’t, I don’t know.

New England? There’s an entire Pennsylvania and New York between Ohio and New England.

Don’t forget that Crunchyroll is also owned by Sony, who have basically picked up a monopoly on anime streaming services by buying out all of the competition. Aniplex, Funimation, Crunchyroll, Kadokawa, all under the Sony umbrella.

For this one, I think it’s nothing quite as exciting, basically just what you’d expect.

Guessing that column is truncated “Allergies,” though I’m not sure if the exclamation point means that they have a major allergy or maybe their allergy information wasn’t recorded yet.

That’s how I read the intent of the author, at least. Getting scientists out of their isolated bubbles and allowing them to actually experience the world drives innovation.

That, or the one physicist who figured it out was so traumatized by merely being outside that she figured it out as quickly as possible to make it all stop, haha.

Fair, I guess I’m just letting the world get to me!
