In addition to air conditioning becoming widespread, Walt Disney World opened in 1971. There was very little in Orlando prior to that due to not being on the coast - it’s miserably hot and doesn’t get the afternoon breeze off the ocean like costal cities.

Uh… I just slide the pizza out of the oven onto the box. There’s a bit of skill involved to do it in one smooth movement to keep from very mildly burning yourself, but it’s totally doable.

I had a friend who got in trouble with the FBI this way.

The insane pricing creating a miserable push to do all the things is basically the entire Disney experience for families. I used to work in one of the parks, and people were exhausted and burnt out trying to do everything, and my advice to people visiting the parks was always “don’t try to do everything, try to pick some of it and enjoy what you do”.

If you’re in a bigger city, maybe see if you can get work with IATSE doing stagehand stuff?

I’m going to disagree with you on the “is Mac better than Windows” front - I think there’s good arguments either way though. At least with a Mac, the end user is still, mostly, who they are designing for. On Windows the end user is becoming the product.

Are bean memes wholesome?

That’s neat, someone in my city freezes jeans for a similar effect.

Best: full size candy bars Worst: US Smarties.

Content Warning: mood killer, anti-LGBTQ violence

So, I’m queer and originally from Orlando, and I used to listen to WJRR, the local rock station, in the I heart Radio app (don’t use it, fuck clear channel). One morning in June 2016, I shuffled outside for my first cigarette and I decided to check my phone. There’s a push notification, from the I heart Radio app, about a mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando. And that’s how I found out that there was a mass shooting at Pulse. That is probably the most jarring and horrifying push notification I’ll ever receive in my life.

Yeah but that broke GRUB and had a pretty specific error message associated with it. I don’t think problems with grub look like what OP is describing (although I don’t know enough to say for sure).

Anecdotally, I’m running a Fedora Atomic-based OS alongside Windows and that Windows update didn’t cause any problems for me.

I went there on a field trip through my community college. The museum was amazing, definitely worth the trip if you’re in Florida.

Orlando used to have a pro women’s fastpitch team called the Wahoos.

I just wanted to share my pointless knowledge that is so obscure that it wouldn’t even be useful at trivia night, lol.

Oh big time. I’m a transgender man and it was very noticable for a while when my body odor changed.

It’s a 196 community thing. The only (official) rule is that you must post before you leave, so people put the word “rule” in the title, sometimes that’s the entire title, lol.

Unofficially, if you’re a jackass, you’ll get banned.

Huh, Madison Wisconsin sure looks different than the last time I was there.

I think ace people are using that already. /s

I think some variant of cake day is fun but I’m regretfully going to play devil’s advocate this time (even though he really doesn’t need any more advocates).

Is an account anniversary a thing we want to recognize as a part of Lemmy culture? There’s quite a few people who aren’t on their original Lemmy accounts anymore due to servers going offline and cultural disagreements with their original instances. When account migration becomes a thing, does your anniversary follow it? There’s a higher percentage of people who make new accounts every so often for the purpose of privacy and that’s a behavior I think, as a community, we want to respect even if we don’t want to celebrate it - having recognized and trustworthy-ish regulars also has value. I’m not sure if Reddit-level recognition of an anniversary makes sense in the context of the culture we’ve already started building here.

Also, the majority of those who are on our original accounts have anniversaries within like a month of each other due to Reddit’s API bullshit - and doesn’t our Canvas event fall around that same time (although using that specifically as a “Fuck Reddit” event is imo not productive - I like the fact that last year’s canvas had fuck u/spez everywhere and this year’s didn’t).

I did not know what that link contained when I clicked it. And I am incredibly disappointed that it is neither a link to a porn site nor a Rickroll. You’re failing to live up to your username today, SatansMaggotyCumFart, I expected more from you.

(Thanks for the deets, the name of that porn alone is hilarious.)

Reminds me of the art on flea market tee shirts.
