That can be especially effective on some of the genre-specific stations. I almost feel like I’m learning something when Richard Blade is on First Wave and he can really put together a set. Billy Idol is almost funny with how quickly he announces songs but if he has a guest it’s usually a fascinating conversation.

Designers would tell you the quality is typically better on a professionally designed and commercially sold/licensed font, although there have been some excellent FOSS fonts in recent years, usually because of someone paying professionals to put the same effort into the font but then releasing it under a Free or Open license. The drawback of commercial fonts is mainly cost, especially for some popular fonts. The cost can vary depending on your intended use, such as one price for print material, a different price for web use or app use, and online uses might even be licensed for how many visitors a site has. Like, a license might only cover 100,000 visitors per month.

And as others have mentioned, Google Fonts as a service is “free” but as with many Google offerings comes at the cost of additional Google tracking. They’re mainly using Free/Open fonts so they don’t have to pay licensing fees, not really out of support for free software. They have a lot of offerings that are mediocre ripoffs of commercial fonts.

Butterick’s Practical Typography has a few recommendations on Free/Open fonts. The whole “book” is something I recommend reading to anyone who has even a passing interest in making their written work look more professional.

A couple months ago a story came out of a court case that they would happily keep running ads that were identified as scams; they would just increase the advertising costs for the accounts running those ads. The more reports, the higher the price until they reach a limit to ban them. Basically if their users are getting scammed, they want a bigger cut.

It’s interesting considering how the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety really highlights what is more important for them to reduce in a collision. Modern cars might sustain much more damage and be more likely to get written off as a total loss, but that will probably cost them $30-40k at the high end in most wrecks. But if a person gets seriously injured the insurance company could very quickly be on the hook for the full $100-300k in medical bills most people get coverage for.

Featured comment on the first video pretty directly answers the question from @OP @Patnou@lemmy.world :

As a Firefighter I was called to an accident which turned out to be a head on collision between 60’s model Chrysler and a 2000 model Subaru. The Chrysler looked to have held up pretty good but the driver was taken to hospital with life threatening injuries. The Subaru was totalled back to the windscreen yet the mother and daughter in the car walked away without a scratch.

And I question how viable it is given this:

To achieve this, scientists used JQ1, a small molecule inhibitor originally developed to study cancer and inflammatory diseases. While JQ1 is not suitable as a treatment due to neurological side effects, it is known to interfere with a stage of meiosis called prophase 1. This allowed researchers to demonstrate, for the first time, that targeting meiosis can safely and reversibly shut down sperm production.

It sounds like calling the treatment “safe” might be a bit of a stretch.

Why do they gotta front?

Summary:

Scientists at Cornell University may be closing in on the long-sought “holy grail” of male contraception: a safe, reversible, nonhormonal method that completely halts sperm production. In a breakthrough mouse study, researchers used a compound called JQ1 to temporarily shut down meiosis—the critical process that produces sperm—without causing lasting harm. After treatment stopped, sperm production bounced back, fertility returned, and the animals produced healthy offspring.

Theft of her revenue. I don’t know that she could get it to a criminal level but civil probably.

This feels like the kind of slam dunk legal case some law firm would be happy to take on contingency. People will keep doing this if there are no consequences.

They sure tried advertising it as a health food in the USA 20-ish years ago when it was relatively new to the market—“simple, quality ingredients like hazelnuts, skim milk, and a hint of cocoa.” They were sued for deceptive advertising and had to pay millions of dollars.

But yeah, one bite or a look at the ingredients and nutrition label should be enough to warn anyone. The first ingredient is sugar and more than 50% of the food’s mass comes from added sugar.

I think we got one of those later. The first one they got was a monster of 1980s technology. It looks more like a news camera than anything for consumer use (although maybe not to actual news people).

You couldn’t record to laserdisc, right? My parents had a VHS camcorder with a selling point that it could also be used as a VCR (the recorder hung from a shoulder bag and could be separately connected to the TV). We have a lot of old home videos from that, and I remember us recording programs from the TV too.

Why would I need AI to shop at Target for me in the first place?

There doesn’t seem to be much activity around pinball on Lemmy. Maybe you could post this to !Pinball@lemmy.lqx.net or !pinball@lemmy.world ?

I’m not well-versed in stereotypes for many European countries; which is which?
