Somewhere in the northwest US. I don’t want to be more specific, lest I give away my location too easily.
That cheaper 88 octane fuel is a blend of 85% unleaded gasoline and 15% ethanol. It’s also known as E15 fuel.
The ethanol is an oxygenate: it adds oxygen atoms to the fuel mix so the fuel burns more completely. That’s good for vehicle emissions. However, the ethanol is less energy dense than gasoline so you will get slightly worse mileage.

Why not gif? It’s basically a universal format. The file size is reasonable. And gif is lossless if you stay within a limited color palette, which this comic does.
Homeopathics, though sometimes even a placebo can have beneficial effects.
I know a guy who addresses his wife as Woman. It started as a joke and stuck. She loves it. When he needs to get her attention in a public place he just shouts, “Woman!” and she cheerfully responds. It gets great reactions from people who don’t know.
Apple DOS on an Apple IIe in school.
First Linux distro was Debian.
I was rougher on pillows back then.
There’s a story here, I just know it.
I know what my Cub Scouts are doing at their next meeting.
Yes, the first link is combatants only. I think the numbers in the second link include civilian deaths, but it isn’t explicitly stated on that page.
You might like this graph of global war deaths by year from 1800 to present:
https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/deaths-in-wars
World War 2 vastly overshadows all other conflicts. Something like 3.7% of the global population died. Some individual countries lost more than 10% of their populations. No other conflict, or group of regional conflicts, comes anywhere close.
I wish the graph in the link had an option to normalize by population. I bet a graph of war deaths as a percent of global population would look very peaceful over the past 50 years.
Edit to add a link about my 10% population number:

Since becoming a parent my nightmares all involve my kids being harmed: crashing their bicycles, getting hit by cars, falling and hitting their heads, etc. It’s awful.
I thought this was the thread about the force-sensitive wookies?
It varies greatly depending on your setup.
Lemmy.world’s monthly expenses are around €1,200. Though that includes hosting more services that just Lemmy.

For comparison, it looks like £30 per month for lemmy.zip:

At one point Reddthat.com was considering moving to a bigger server that would cost A$150-200 per month:

Some of those instance names are, uh, interesting.
I think GDP in this case, but yeah, same idea. It makes sense that wealthy countries with good infrastructure are going to be high on the list.
Country (nominal GDP rank)
USA (1)
France (7)
Germany (4)
Japan (3)
Finland (47)
Canada (9)
Netherlands (18)
Russia (8)
UK (6)
High-GDP countries that are notably missing are China (2, users are limited by the Great Firewall) and India (5, still building their infrastructure).
I wonder why Finland is so high on the list? Good for them, regardless.

As others have mentioned, Diary of Anne Frank is the only fitting non-fiction book that comes to mind.
Angela’s Ashes is sometimes assigned in high school. It’s mostly non-fiction, though the author describes his own conception so clearly it’s not all strictly true.
That’s a fair point. I can try to avoid politics in this community in the future.
As for this post, I’ll defer to the community mod to either leave it up or take it down. No hard feelings from me either way.
