Ah so he’s just a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude.

Ah yes, the movie where they cast a French person as Scottish, a Scottish person as Spanish, and an American as a Russian.

Hey, some of us are 35-year-old edgelords

Shit. I was about to quip “Your intern is only 8?” before I remembered what year it was.

Do serial killers normally break out the tape measure before cutting into a victim?

Shutters are less commonly used here, usually found more on older homes. Their intended purpose is protection during storms, but sometimes people install “fake” ones just as decoration.

For light management/privacy, most houses I’ve seen have adjustable blinds inside that you raise or lower to let more or less light in.

A steel “grating” (not sure how it’s called in English) for safety and a twin casement window.

Grating or grates is right, and sometimes people just call them window bars.

Yeah if you have those crank style ones it’s possible at least. I’ve only seen one which was a push to open window with screen on the inside that opened on a hinge, but it seemed like it had a pretty poor seal with the wall as a result and bugs would have an easier time crawling through.

Honestly having the screen on the inside is probably more convenient too. If you’re cleaning both sides of a window where you’d have to remove the screen either way, I imagine it’s easier to remove the screen from inside than outside just given the elevation differences.

Sash windows are the common type used for American homes, though you’ll find a good mix of casements (typically the ones you have to crank to open/close).

The only deal breaker for me would be casement windows that open outwards. The area I live gets a lot of bugs in the summer, and so our windows have screens to help keep pests out while windows are open. Sash windows and casements that open inwards work fine with screens, but casements that open outwards typically don’t.

I will say I don’t like the direction imgur went, but to play devil’s advocate, I don’t think there was any way around it.

The problem is that being an image host used by millions of users is incredibly expensive, and between needing to pay for the infrastructure, content moderators, and (in this case) regulatory compliance, it all adds up.

The only income model they have is ads, which is why they needed to re-tool the UI to hinder users’ ability to direct share images, and converting it to a more social media type of format keeps users on the site so they can cycle in more ads for more revenue.

An ideal internet would not need to rely on ad money to work, but I’m struggling to think of what else could be done at the scale imgur operates, as donation models can barely even keep Lemmy instances above water. If ad money wasn’t a thing, would sites like imgur be able to exist? Maybe they shouldn’t, I don’t know.

New England? There’s an entire Pennsylvania and New York between Ohio and New England.

Don’t forget that Crunchyroll is also owned by Sony, who have basically picked up a monopoly on anime streaming services by buying out all of the competition. Aniplex, Funimation, Crunchyroll, Kadokawa, all under the Sony umbrella.

For this one, I think it’s nothing quite as exciting, basically just what you’d expect.

Guessing that column is truncated “Allergies,” though I’m not sure if the exclamation point means that they have a major allergy or maybe their allergy information wasn’t recorded yet.
