Critics say the presidency is becoming too mighty, and making mistakes

You mean there's still any water to distribute this summer after the Extremely Stable Genius wasted 2 billion gallons back in February?
10 percent more of diddly squat is still diddly squat.

You might not, but someone is out there who can't draw, or doesn't want to put the time in to master making the art they want to see, or doesn't want to pay fair rates for labor to put art in their content to make it look pretty for commercial purposes.
Either way, actual human artists are losing their economic leverage to make a living.
That was pretty good!

It would help if the first episode wasn't boring.
Has anyone watched beyond that, and does it get better?
This had a terrible first 2 episodes, and I was ready to drop it, but the last mini-arc eps 3 and 4 have demonstrated that the story has some heart, and our protagonist has some interesting powers.
The guys in the ship with the duck head and kitten basket on the sails, clean shaven, with plain helmets and wearing skirts, don't look as tough as the guys with the dragon head and two headed dragon on their sail who are hearing horned helmets, have beards and carrying spears.
Apparently so...

Wow, they're willing to use expensive thermal optics on a suicide drone?
The original telegram post says there was someone hiding under the tank.
Using a Shark UAV, the reconnaissance battalion of the 92nd Mechanized Brigade located a Russian logistics base, which was then destroyed by GMLRS strikes.
The Shark UAV is domestically produced https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrspecsystems_Shark
Looks like it has nice specs!
/r/keurig is filled with "My Keurig brewer stopped working" posts, and there's no way to fix these things.
At best, Keurig ships a whole new appliance, and the old one goes into landfill.
The new one breaks in a couple of months as well, and joins the old one in the city dump.
What a waste.
Another thing to consider is how bulky your coffee gadgets are.
I don't have space for a dedicated drip brewer.
I had an opportunity to buy a siphon brewer from a thrift store, but I decided against it, because I have nowhere to store a large delicate glass thing.
I loved the bionics adventure shows back then.
Lee Majors and Lindsay Wagner will always have a special place in my heart.

Someone made a post that is at least irrelevant to !keepwriting@lemmy.world and is asking people to pay money for their ebook, which would be considered unsolicited advertising, i.e. spam.

For Easter, in the Novopavlivskyi direction, Easter cakes were delivered to Ukrainian Defenders at the frontline by drones.
6,000 Easter cakes were blessed the day before in St. Michael's Golden-Domed Monastery in Kyiv.
The Easter cakes were delivered to the most distant points on the front line by drone operators under constant Russian shelling.
Dire wolves ate my nephew! Should I worship them or hunt them to extinction?
Earlier this month, a company focused on conservation, Colossal Biosciences, announced the "de-extinction" of the dire wolf. UC Santa Cruz professor Beth Shapiro, who worked on the project, told Lookout about the history of the effort and its significance, and addressed some of the criticism.

A good text editor?
I'm looking for a decently featured text editor for Android.
I'm used to Notepad++ on Windows
I don't code with it, but I do like features like changing Proper Case in selected text, column select copy and paste, and so forth.

2010s Music rename/relaunch!
After some thought, the recently created original group https://kbin.earth/m/2010s didn't have "music" in the actual group name, and therefore wasn't super-obviously a music group, so we're relaunching as https://kbin.earth/m/2010smusic
In kbin, you can't just change a community's name, so the mod had to create an entirely new /m or magazine.
I hope y'all will post your favorite music from the previous decade and help us build our community!
