  • Hopefully, they'll reach 100% soon.

  • Rule
  • It's a shame that no car company would buy the remnants of this. They had some cool designs.

  • Road fatalities per 100,000 population in major US States, Australian States and Canadian Provinces
  • But they have more people per capita! Because they're so much bigger, see?

  • PNG has been updated for the first time in 22 years — new spec supports HDR and animation
  • You'd probably get some colours that end up being quite off target. But you'll get an image to display. So in the end it depends on how much "not optimal" you're ready to accept.

  • PNG has been updated for the first time in 22 years — new spec supports HDR and animation
  • I'm not sure you can turn an hdr image into a regular one just by snipping it down to 8 bits per channel and discarding the rest.

    I mean it would work but I'm not certain you'll get the best results.

  • What are some good european hot sauce brands?
  • The English have HP. I suppose it's technically mildly spicy.

  • Trump allies caught off guard by Pentagon’s Ukraine weapons freeze
  • Didn't they divert missile and shell shipments to Israel instead of Ukraine a couple months ago?

  • Report: Average American’s Retirement Plan Involves Richard Gere Falling For Them After Paying For Sex
  • Oh right, he isn't. My bad. It would have been a better fit though.

  • What launcher do you use? I'm looking to drop Kvaesitso
  • Same. It doesn't do crazy fancy things, and just works. But then I've long since given up on my phone doing any fancy things. I'm fine with it being boring. The only thing I want is folders on the main screen and a couple widgets.

  • Interest-free Checking
  • The famous opium banking company. Which hasn't really gotten more reputable since...

  • Uber Eats or something idk
  • Burritos should ride on the bus.

  • Horchata
  • It's a European drink, from the Valencia region of Spain. You might find it in Spanish restaurants or shops maybe.

  • Loony religions in the US and consequences.

    I was just watching "American Primeval", when it occurred to me (again) that the US was a place where oddball religions could prosper. Two recent successful examples of very weird ones being Mormons and Scientology (although the latter is a bit less successful lately).

    Why is it that weird things catch on so readily in the US?

    Of course, the "founders" were people that were kicked out of everywhere else because they were trying to convert them to their extremist religious views (and yet US people are fond of trying to find family ties to them... "hey, my great, great, great grand father was a religious lunatic! But yours wasn't")

    So now, Mormons (Jews totally rowed to the US, for some reason, and then Jesus came there, and there were horses, and cities, and there's absolutely no archaeological trace, probably because god) have an astounding foothold despite their creed (I'm saying this because I have read the book of Mormon).

    Then there's Scientology, and I don't even know where to begin with that one, given how fucked up it is... If you don't know about it, start with Wikipedia.

    Also (probably not finally, there's certainly more) there's the innumerable bizarre Christianity stuff in the US. It's such a mess. I don't even think that most of the evangelical groups are technically Christians.

    So apparently,, in the US, anything goes. The holy Flying Spaghetti Monster, blessed be it's meat balls, showed us that. But then what?

    The problem with the typical US "let anyone do whatever" is that vulnerable get fleeced at best.

    Is there a way to fix scrollbars in Plasma 6

    Plasma 6 changed the way scrollbars work for some reason. Now when you click somewhere with mouse1 the elevator jums there and the window content scrolls accordingly.

    Previously, it would scroll by one window's worth in the appropriate direction. If you wanted to jump to a given location, you just used mouse2 (typically the scroll wheel button nowadays). It has worked that way everywhere for literally decades.

    After reading the very weird explanation for the change, I can only conclude that the devs don't even know how to use their interface.

    Hence my question, is there a setting somewhere to switch back to the traditional behaviour?
