Delightful.

Now do one with a French seal.

It's not exactly like above but children are given a marshmallow and told if they wait a certain amount of time and not eat it, they will get another marshmallow and they can eat both. They can decide to eat the marshmallow right away and not get a second one. As well.

It's a test that has a very high rate of predicting how well a person does in the future, education, life, income, happiness. Indicating people who wait for a second marshmallow do better in life.

It got famous, and when the study was done properly with actual controls and accounting for income, home life and parental trust decades later the previous results are moot. Results are entirely manipulated by how trustworthy the test giver is. So it's meaningless now in the use I had for it, but the first study's meaning has lingered.

Hey, does anyone have good alternatives to CloudFlare to host my dns but also still safely self host things?

But MAGA won't pass the marshmallow test.

She might be the only country artist I listen to.

Those people were never ever her fans and were certainly not at her concert.

It's not a backlash because those people weren't listening to her to begin with. They just heard she was being kind and decided to act like she suddenly did something terrible. She's been doing this from the start, nothing changed.

Her lyrics are so unique and entertaining. She feels like the first young contemporary female artist to not constantly write about breakups.

After the COVID trucker protests, the Canadian flag became a red flag.

After the ongoing Albertan separation scandal, the Canadian flag has been redeemed and the Albertan flag is a red flag.

I think you found the explanation, I like this answer.

I didn't realize that was controversial for the general population.

It kind of looks to me like most people love sales, Amazon Prime day and black Friday.

I don't know why they don't find a better way to subsidize it. Like once purchased and played for x amount of hours $200 of steam credit is put on the account.

Or they get 30% off 5 games they buy in steam with the account that activated the console.

It's worth mentioning that someone made a video game about your consciousness getting downloaded to this screen saver environment among other 90s screensavers.

The kids do all the daily cleaning, they still don't have janitors. The school still has maintenance workers. I'm certain the large machinery would be handled by them and would be considered part of maintenance and not cleaning.

I think you are right in that the schools are smaller, every square inch of urban area feels like 15 minute city material. So everything people need in daily life is within reach, small but numerous. I'm no expert though, just a tourist who visits his Japanese friends and asks lots of questions 😅

 

Sometimes, when uploading to some sites, if I upload images with resolution and size within the correct parameters, the server doesn't re-compress the images. If the images do get compressed, then they come out looking degraded.

I don't know if those settings are per-server.

Does anyone know if there is a preferred resolution, file type and file size for photos and videos on pixelfed in general or pixelfed.ca?
