Squeak@lemmy.worldto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL this Fun Fact: Unfortunately, Chainsaws Were Invented for ChildbirthEnglish24·1 year agoThat wiki entry literally says that it was designed to help during childbirth…
“for symphysiotomy and excision of diseased bone, respectively.”
Follow the link for symphysiotomy and it says “Symphysiotomy is a surgical procedure in which the cartilage of the pubic symphysis is divided to widen the pelvis allowing childbirth when there is a mechanical problem (obstructed labour).”
Ah yes, 48 hours forever
Squeak@lemmy.worldto Europe@feddit.de•Jeremy Corbyn to run as independent candidate in UK general electionEnglish511·1 year agoWhat’s the point? He won’t win by any stretch of the imagination, and the majority of votes he does get will be taken from the pool of voters who would ordinarily vote labour. All this does is benefit the tories. He’d be far better supporting Starmer, even if he doesn’t really.
Squeak@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•World's top golfer Scottie Scheffler arrested on charges of assaulting officer at PGA championship event32·1 year agoA professional golfer? He’s going to work…
Squeak@lemmy.worldto Apple@lemmy.world•Apple apologizes for iPad “Crush” ad that “missed the mark”3·1 year agoBecause I watched it and it’s very clearly CGI. Paint cans are an order of magnitude stronger than a wooden piano top, not to mention they wouldn’t all explode at the same time. The emoji ball didn’t just land at the edge. No one has a 10mx5m hydraulic press.
Squeak@lemmy.worldto Apple@lemmy.world•Apple apologizes for iPad “Crush” ad that “missed the mark”3·1 year agoDo you really think paint cans are going to crush before a piano top? Absolutely no way. And to all burst at the same time?
Then there’s the guitar strings when they snap is way too unnatural. And the bouncing emoji ball just happens to escape and land perfectly at the edge.
Not to mention, no one has a 10m x 5m hydraulic press.
Squeak@lemmy.worldto Apple@lemmy.world•Apple apologizes for iPad “Crush” ad that “missed the mark”269·1 year agoThey didn’t actually destroy them… it’s all CGI. And people are free to enjoy music how they feel. I’d rather listen to a streamed song from my phone while sitting on the train than sitting there playing my guitar… imagine 50 people in a train carriage all trying to play their own music.
Squeak@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Encrypted services Apple, Proton and Wire helped Spanish police identify activist | TechCrunch15·1 year agoYes. They never gave away content of emails, because they couldn’t even if they wanted to. It’s encrypted.
They gave the recovery email for the account to the authorities, which was an iCloud account tied to the user’s real name.
Squeak@lemmy.worldto Bats@lemmy.world•Little guy was stuck on an antenna, but now he is safe, and his face is full of mango161·1 year agoLittle? That thing looks fucking huge
Squeak@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft wants to hide the 'Sign out' button in Windows 11 behind a Microsoft 365 adEnglish86·1 year agoNot really. Adobe creative cloud is used my almost all graphic/media professionals, yet doesn’t work on Linux… that’s not very niche
Squeak@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft wants to hide the 'Sign out' button in Windows 11 behind a Microsoft 365 adEnglish98·1 year agoAs much as everyone pushes Linux, it’s not a suitable replacement in a lot of scenarios
Squeak@lemmy.worldto Formula 1@lemmy.world•Explanation on why Norris' lap time was reinstated8·1 year agoYes. Drivers could run wide to effectively open up the final corner and carry more speed down the pit straight. This prevents that.
It doesn’t matter this weekend because there’s a gravel trap, so it’s only going to be to the drivers detriment.
They’re in China and pandas are from China
That will eventually happen to affinity I’m sure, but at least affinity is ~5% the price a perpetual CS6 license was.
Squeak@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Everest climbers will have to take their poop away with them, as Nepal tries to address growing waste problemEnglish13·1 year agoWhat would be the terminal velocity of the poop sliding down a zip line? I can just imagine it hitting a wall at the end and exploding 😅
Squeak@lemmy.worldto Formula 1@lemmy.world•This is the point-less race for Mercedes F1 Team since 2021 Azerbaijan GP, and double DNF for the team since 2016 Spain GP.1·1 year agoOvertakefans has turned into complete aids with their ads. Not too bad on PC, but if you’re on a mobile device or trying your cast from your phone it’s dreadful.
Their only saving grace is their acestreams tend to work quite well.
I use race replays now and it works fine. Races usually uploaded after 20-30mins of the finish.
Squeak@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How can a person be very sad, irritated or angry and still not show it on their face ?671·1 year agoI’ve had depression for years. You get good at pretending to be happy/ok and you mostly just become numb and very good at hiding things on the outside.
Financially stupid? I guess, but that applies to almost all collectibles. So does paying to go out for a meal when it’s cheaper to cook at home, but people still do it because they enjoy it.
