I want to be clear that this is an actual word created by an actual urban planner and not a shitpost

@venatus oh no :( *pushes back toward the human side*

"Hey, check out my new media player."
"Neat! But wow, it's heavy. What's the TONE dial for?"
"Don't-"
She adjusted it upward. The device fell from her hands and landed on the concrete.
"Shit, sorry-"
She tried to pick it up, but it wouldn't budge.
"Don't adjust it upward!" he said. "Just slide the dial toward the low values."
She did. "Hey, I can pick it up now. It's at... 0.0004?"
"Just hand it back."
"All right, but I don't see what I did wrong."
She hadn't noticed the extra N.

ecumenopolis, n. A city or strongly-connected network of cities that occupies the entire surface of a planet.

If you ever think for an instant that misogyny in gaming is new, remember that there was an uproar when the Queen was added to chess in Europe because she was a "powerful female figure".

So as the lake freezes, the cone and gauge sink farther down the rod; this information is sent up the cable to a transmitter at the top, which sends it to a receiver at the house, which can update an app/website/etc. So we can tell how deep the gauge is and, perforce, how thick the ice is.

Dad likes ice fishing. But on the lake we have access to, it's hard to tell when the ice is thick enough to walk on reliably.

So I want to build a device as follows: an upward-facing cone attached to a hollow rod, which is itself attached to the bed of the lake and held perpendicular. Under the cone is a depth gauge; the cone is, in theory, pushed down by the freezing surface water. The hollow rod houses the cable that transmits data from the depth gauge to the surface.

"We're gonna need you to surrender the robot, stat!"
"Stat?"
"Yeah!"
"I don't know what that is!"
"I don't either!"

I wish I had the ... uh, chutzpah to name my villain "Scroter". #shortcircuit

@Helmic @loudkid I don't know of a way to export that. :/ I maintain ours manually.

@brainblasted @oct2pus Oh, it's a one-liner - nginx has IP deny built in automatically. Just add

deny 116.203.89.99;

to the beginning of the http{} block.

@oct2pus @brainblasted Oof, yeah. I've actually gone into nginx's config and blocked their IP address; hopefully that will work.

@ishiku Ugh. Okay, I've blocked all requests from their IP. hopefully that'll work.

@ishiku From which instance? :/ Users from weedis.life shouldn't even be able to try to follow you.
