[ X ] DOUBT

[-] foggy@lemmy.world 36 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Sick old man gives $100-250k worth of legos to franchise for consignment.

Franchise takes over franchisee's store due to bad numbers.

A mix of imperfect paperwork from franchisee and fuck ton of missing legos with franchise has lego owner, franchisee, and franchise pointing fingers. Franchise had 2 dudes take over store. They look shady. Franchise looks shady. Franchisee looks minimally shady, disorganized.

Lego owner is missing ~$50-90k in payment/product.

Youtuber takes on the case. The police in the town seem like they're protecting the new franchise dudes.

New franchise dudes are prominent in local Mormon church...

Local cops are involved in local Mormon church...

Now it looks like an entire police precinct and an entire corporation are both in ridiculous PR damage control mode but also aggressively suing the YouTuber, Lego owner.

Youtuber successfully sued corporation for Lego owner. They closed the store instead of paying. Now youtuber is suing individuals who took over franchise for Lego owner.

It's a whole mess. This whole situation will be in law classes for decades.

Would that not qualify as treason? Did he just admit to intentionally levying a war that is purposely against the American people? Adhering to the enemy, giving them aid?

Asking for a friend.

I really want Colbert to run for office in character as Colbert from the Colbert Report, as a Republican.

I have bunted a baseball over a little league fence. Me and some friends tried all day long.

My technique was to push the bunt while turning into the pitch.

Getting it to the outfield is trivial. Home run is very hard. The fence was less than 200 ft.

If the govt were to sell pay per view tickets to Hegseths tribunal we could get the country out of debt.

Folks would have watch parties the world over.

I am also 6'7"... Ish, haha. Tagged as fellow tall. There's your explanation.

I am exactly 2m. So just shy, but more than 6'6".

I am actually mostly body, so my butts lower than yours. Idk, I'm curious if this is better or worse for my hamstring in a cramp? Idk if the back muscles it connects to affect it or not lol. Idk if it makes it worse either way though.

My go to is to Indian leg wrestle a wall when it cramps up. Like I scoot my ass past the wall and raise my cramping leg to get my heel locked onto the wall past 90° and force my knee to lock (with my hands if I need to which, for anyone reading that has never experienced this, is basically necessary. Your hamstring is stronger than most of your leg, save your groin, but it's basically unable to affect the hamstring in a cramp. So your biceps and triceps are necessary sometimes.)

The physics make less sense to me but I actually end up getting relief putting my calf on the arm of a couch while I crunch my abs forward as hard as I can. Having a partner hold you in place here would be ideal as far as I've felt.

Cheers homie. Good luck. The world was designed for a max of 6'5". We have it ok. But damn. Cheers.

With all muscle cramps. Do what feels counterintuitive.

The muscle contracts/tightens. Stretching it hurts more, but it is what must be done.

For when someone reading this has a hamstring cramp... You might wanna figure out that stretch ahead of time. It's a bit heftier than the calf muscle and puts up a better fight.

What's left of his life on camera should be a humiliation ritual. But not the kind he likes.

Between the no war voters and the America first voters and the affordability voters, all he has left is religious crazy voters.

He just lost another chunk of what remains of his base.

Dude is officially the least popular president in American history.

A bakery in Conway NH is suing the town after being told their mural violates advertising signage laws. It seems the sign just has pastries and doesn't otherwise advertise the business, so they're calling it art and arguing it should stay. The town disagrees so they're going to court over it.

The bakery is suing the town for $1, and permission to keep the kids mural up.

This is a small business fighting to keep kids art on display. Suing for $1 is a way to signal that are willing to do this at a financial loss, and that the display isn't a means of enriching themselves but rather their community.

I'm approaching 40. I've been all over the internet my whole life. Mostly a metal head. I love me my prog rock. I love my folk, and a little indie here and there.

I won't give away too much, but if you know where I know this music from, give me a shout. I'm sure some of y'all are out tofu aware out there.

Pete Davis never got the fame he deserves in this genre. Maybe Foss platforms can give a hum le ho ie a signal boost. This is his most popular track with a band from cages ago, but peep his shit. He deserves it.

The bottom of the page there is a countdown that will expire at midnight Eastern standard Time tonight.

This company claims to be in Boston. They've received federal grants. I've done a small amount of digging, but it would be entirely within valves resources to set up such a company. They have a LinkedIn, but it doesn't really seem like anyone really works there? It seems like a viral marketing campaign.

There was a Reddit thread. A while back. Some people noticed classes in the HTML that referenced other half-lifey things. But, some people in that thread shut it down as nothing out of the ordinary.

Then, there have been recent leaks with regard to a new game being developed. Someone found a resume suggesting that a person had done voice-over work for an unreleased project with Valve in 2023.

There was also a leak of some files with .hlx file types, and I guess prior to the half-life alyx release some .hla files leaked.

In the .hlx file leak, I guess there was found references to things like the EV suit.

Here's a YouTube video that touches on all of this.

Acceptable range of answers:

"I mix mustard with mayo"

to

"I emulsify a blend of herbs and mustard seeds and chilis in clarified butter to make and herbaceous fatty hot spread"

Bonus: what's it best on?

This is an appreciation thread. All 4 games are iconic to me. Way underrated.

To me, midnight club is everything need for speed wanted to be. Need for speed had a few hits and many misses. Midnight club was 100% hits. And they aged incredibly. They're still fun as hell.

If you never played and you dig arcade racing games, go play. It's an open city racing game. Variety of racing types, endless challenges, and really great mechanicsi just wish it was as.pophlar as it deserves to be.

Worse and worse (lemmy.world)

Anyone else getting worse and worse service with chat gpt?

I am getting repetitive incorrect and lazy answers and then rate limited. Idk what I'm even paying for at this point. It's happened the last 5 times I've used it over the last week or so.

Am I alone?

Im on a galaxy s22+. This started happening the same time the upvotes downvote buttons started to glitch in the UI which I have also posted about.

This issue is more annoying. When I am mid response, I'll often leave the app to get more accurate info in what I'm trying to say. When I come back to Lemmy, it's all black. Nothing. But my button presses are still registering.

If I go to the app switcher (bottom left android button) thing, and reselect Lemmy, it fixes and the display returns.

But if I react by pressing the back button, I lose my response, I lose the post I was responding to, I sometimes can't even relocate the thread I was in easily.

voting buttons bug (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 years ago by foggy@lemmy.world to c/lemmyconnect@lemmy.ca

I need to hit the upvotes and downvote buttons twice on the main page.

It will flash it's color as I press on press 1, but then quickly revert. On second press, it behaves normally.
