They’re not advertising or telling people to come to lemmy.world… people are coming here and they’re just accommodating them instead of blowing them off

Nope, totally out of the loop on this one… Is he renaming Twitter?

What’s the top image, is it some Microsoft x-windowing system?

Is this a humble brag for how many books you’ve read?

Lol, this one went over my head. What’s the story here?

Lol, this one is great

If you are buying a coin that’s already on the market as a fully attributed coin then yeah you don’t want to clean it. I buy coins that are “fresh” out of the ground so they’re literally caked with mud. They look like this so they require cleaning. Properly cleaning 2000 yr old coins is a months long process involving microscope and very deliberate & precise application of effort. For some reason I find it very relaxing, almost like a form of meditation. It’s a hobby that I’d love to share the results and talk about with others.

Shameless plug: You can see some of my Before/After pictures over at !ancientcoincleaning@lemmy.world :-)

Yeah, I like tech too but also enjoy cleaning ancient coins. It’ll be nice if someone else found my community and it would pick up. I’m trying to post ever so often so anyone that stumbles on it will know I’m still around

Pegging Celsius to freezing/boiling point of water makes it VERY easy to calibrate thermometers. That’s a huge advantage that makes it so anyone with a freezer and stove have a great reference point for calibration.

This wouldn’t work or make sense for cross posts in communities to have discussions specific to that community.

For example I run the !ancientcoincleaning@lemmy.world community. If a post from there is cross-posted in !ancientcoins@lemmy.world their discussions about the coin would be different (focused around numismatic interests as opposed to cleaning focused discussion). It wouldn’t make sense for the comments to be merged.

I guess it’s possible they like the taste… I like the smell of fireworks when so many people say they stink. We all like different things

My brain refuses to accept someone voluntarily drinks their own piss regularly when they have other options readily available… If someone actually does this please post an ama… I have so many questions

Spam fries are delicious :-) Fried spam is also a great breakfast food.

Then the Highlander games will begin.

It being strangely warm and heavy is just a hug showing you that it loves you to death.

Wow so many upvotes, not to long ago 100 upvotes was a lot

Not always, it really depends on what the person who did the board layout or wrote the firmware thought. When I do a board/firmware I label it from the devices perspective, so the TX is where the bits I’m transmitting will be coming out of, RX is where I’m expecting your bits to be sent to. Others label it from the perspective of the device connecting to it. So TX is where you connect the line your sending bits from. To me that’s wierd because, to others it’s what they expect. There is no standard and the result is you end up hooking it to an oscilloscope and see which line bits are being sent from. Then you use the scope to figure out all the settings. If they don’t transmit in power up then… Frustration ensures

Don’t forget trying to guess if the RX label is the line they transmit out of or you transmit to.

I think Lemmy is reddit like, so any server running lemmy will be reddit like.
