I know, but that's not what I remember, so I'm asking if other people remember it differently as well.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. Probably too early to say it's a Mandela effect, but that thought crossed my mind as well.

Sounds like an average day trying to run something on Linux.

 

As opposed to "It tastes awful. And it works."

I saw an ad for it tonight and the "And" completely threw me. I could have sworn it was always "but"...

Name a worse ambassador than this fucknut. I'd really like to read about whoever it is.

Did you have "Back Hole Sun"?

Someone please edit the Wikipedia page for magnets to add the fact that water cancels them out.

iCarly was just a follower of JenniCam and AmandaCam from the late 90's and camgirls/camboys/cammers in the early 2000's.

Oh this is perfect. Thank you. I was just gathering numbers and had discrepancies, but this shows it perfectly.

[–] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

I did it really quick, and just looked up the numbers from searches. There might be some difference from different sources, but it's in the ballpark.

That said, I've been following up on a bit and (for example) I'm changing the 1980 housing price to 62k, but the 3x still shows the issue.

I agree that buying your first home takes some sacrifices. But the sacrifices even 20 years ago were significantly less than they are now, let alone 40 or more years ago. I would hope that someone in her position would understand that it's not about saving $5 or $10 a day on Starbucks, or even buying a cheaper phone. The disparity between income and home price is just completely different.

Median household income in the US in 1980: $21000
Median home price: ~~$47000 (2x)~~
Edit: $62000 (3x) is probably more accurate.

Median household income in the US in 2000: $42000
Median home price: $163000 (4x)

Median household income in the US in 2020: $67000
Median home price: $327000 (5x)

It doesn't take a genius to see the discrepancy here. That's a lot of fucking Starbucks coffees to not buy to make up the difference.

Note: I'm using US numbers because of the context.

Yeah, this one gets me too, occasionally. Maybe a resume button would be simple (if the state still exists) and work well without being too obtrusive.

Normally I'm browsing from Home, hit Back accidentally, and then try hitting Home again but that forces a refresh of Home (sometimes? Always? Can't remember).

What's with the number ordering!?

Byline:

Linda Royle says airline initially wouldn't compensate because she can't prove ownership of missing items

Excerpt:

When Linda Royle opened up her returned carry-on suitcase, she was disgusted to find not only her personal possessions missing, but several items — like two toiletry bags, a ticket scanner and a knife — were now in her bag.

Air Canada initially refused to compensate the Newfoundland woman, but told CBC News in a statement Thursday that it had looked at her case again and would contact Royle to "finalize her claim."

In an email, which CBC News has reviewed, Royle was told by baggage claims representative Dana Esteban on July 5 that because Royle didn't have receipts for the items she claimed were missing, Esteban couldn't confirm she owned the items.

CBC News asked Air Canada for an interview about Royle's case. An unidentified spokesperson replied to that request, asking for more details.

Two days after the CBC News request, Royle was contacted by a company representative who said her case had been further reviewed.

In a statement to CBC News on Thursday, Air Canada said it requires customers to provide claims, through receipts, for items valued above $350.

"Our baggage claims team re-looked at this case and found that the individual items being claimed were under the threshold," it said.

The spokesperson then told CBC News over email its security team is reviewing Royle's case.

In my feed, when I see posts like https://lemmy.world/post/30432101 that are embedded image links (maybe?), when I click on the thumbnail it doesn't work, but clicking on the title to go to the post, it does.

Thumbnail click gives this and doesn't play:

Title click gives this and plays properly:

This has been happening for a little while now (days? weeks?) but I haven't tried narrowing down specifics. I'll update if I find non-i.imgur.com posts with the same issue.

Edit to add: Android, I think Edge is the embedded browser.
