It is the upvote /downvote ratio. At the moment, your post has six upvotes and no downvotes, and you've got a 100% smiley face.

In the Voyager settings you can toggle to view all votes or just the total ๐Ÿ‘

Here's a quote from @[email protected] for context:

You recently trolled about how Elon Musk's Nazi salute "has been debunked though"

and then a selection of quotes from your reply, the one I responded to:

Debunked in the sense that, one, what the perception was did not match his intention, and two, a lot of the footage exaggerated his gesture anyways.

Something that's worth noting (or which I don't see a lot of people talking about) is the fact that the salute, historically, was done with your arm stretched out *in front of you*, not to the side

Musk's salute in the picture, though technically arguable to be the salute (and it's possible more to his intentions might come to light), was more like [the Team Rocket pose.]

You've claimed to know what his intention was, that the Nazi salute was done differently to the clip of Hitler himself, even though the video shows that they're almost identical, and then that Musk's salute was an innocent mistake.

They sound an awful lot like excuses for a guy who was caught on camera performing a salute that's all but identical to a Nazi salute that Hitler, leader of the Nazis, performed on video.

Do you have individual switches for each plug socket / outlet wired next to the door? That seems like it would take a lot of wiring, and need a lot of switches.

The room I'm currently in has six double sockets spread out around the room. They each have one switch per socket like in the post's image. If they were wired back to the door, they would need a lot more wiring, and one of the two entrance doors would have to be chosen. You'd then have to walk to that door every time you wanted to turn something off.

It seems like a lot more work for no real benefit.

Surely a chicken egg is an egg laid by a chicken though, not an egg containing a chicken, otherwise unfertilised eggs wouldn't be chicken eggs.

If the mutation occurs in the creature inside the egg, then it makes sense to me that that's where the new species begins. The chicken came first ๐Ÿค”

I'm going to stop saying chicken and egg now, it's getting ridiculous... ๐Ÿ˜

It looks cool, but in reality the students were stuck there for hours, as he posed for photos, and sent each one off to be developed, before checking it and demanding a retake. After 17 hours, the teacher decided to go with the first shot after all

I can't comment on how many documents you have, but there's a free version of Office 365

That's clearly the chopstick drawer

I like the idea, but a lot of people resent being made to create accounts on random services. We know that Lemmy is good because we're here, but it might put them off the idea.

Depending on the age of your students, you might have to be careful about the fact that NSFW content is freely available here, and check the terms of your instance to see if they're allowed to make accounts in the first place e.g. on most social media and forums you have to be 13 or over.

I've genuinely seen a post asking for help because DISM wouldn't run, where the recommended answer was to run DISM ๐Ÿ™ˆ

While it sounds good on paper, in practice, they've screwed it up. They're putting the new speed limits in place on every 30mph road in Wales before they've put the public transport alternatives in place.

There's currently no reason for someone to switch to public transport, especially if the buses are going to be stuck at the same speed as the cars, but stopping regularly too. Our roads are too narrow to install bus lanes, and barely have enough room for single file traffic through lots of the towns and villages. The trains are being upgraded, but that's not scheduled to finish until at least next year, and at the moment they're slow and very unreliable. It feels like every week the trains are cancelled and an inadequate replacement bus service is put on.

I'm disabled, and have to travel from my town, Aberdare, to the main hospital in Cardiff, UHW, on a regular basis. If I had to leave now, it would take 42 minutes by car, or 2 hours and 6 minutes by public transport. The shortest journey is tomorrow morning and would take 1 hour and 31 minutes, more than double the time of the car journey. The closest inpatient hospital is 22 minutes by car, or over an hour by public transport. The difference the new speed limits are going to make is negligible compared to how slow public transport is here.

All this is going to do is annoy and upset people, and turn them off the idea of using public transport, and push a lot of people towards voting for the parties who were against this. Out of the main parties, that mainly seems to be the Conservatives, so that's going to be bad for all of us.
