Insurers say bear that damaged luxury cars was actually a person in a costume
  • They had insurance from multiple providers, so same car insured from a few different companies.

    Detectives found two additional claims and with two different insurance companies for the four with the same date of loss and at the same location.

  • I don't think there is a middle ground between a VPN and Tor.

    As much as I don't like Brave this seems like a good feature. There do seem to be some problems with it leaking in some circumstances though.

  • Immigrants
  • Off the top of my head I can think of three people that are first generation here. Two came illegally. One had a despised 'anchor baby' that she then used to bring her parents over.

    I'm OK with deporting them, or herding them into the gulf of Mexico, whatever Trump's current plan is.

    Their names are: Melania Trump Elon Musk Peter Thiel

    DHS please rid us of these foreign criminals.

  • I don't know what kind of sharpener you are talking about. I use regular whetstones. I have some diamond stones that were a gift, they only get used on cold chisels and knives from the flea market to re profile them.

    I had a partner who loved Victorinox, we are not together any longer so I don't have to sharpen them. As I said, they are uncomfortable in my hands, and I find the steel sub par. A Zebra is usually 1/4 the price and better quality.

  • Bread Knive
  • It takes practice, but isn't hard to learn. You can do it. I find it very satisfying and relaxing. Using a steel often will mean your knives need to be sharpened less frequently too.

  • Bread Knive
  • That should sharpen quite easily. It is towards the softer side of stainless (inox) steels, I very much like them. They are easy to work with, durable, don't discolor vegetables.

  • Why do people on reddit seem to hate Lemmy/Mbin/other federated link aggregators?
  • Number 1 comment is

    Reddit ain't going anywhere fast.

    If r/selfhosted has to rely on reddit as it can't be fucked selfhosting, what chance do other subs have.

    I have found Lemmy selfhosted communities excellent, they are not a large as Reddit but there are plenty knowledgeable people, often seflhosting their own little reddit.

    www.theguardian.com How oligarchs took on the UK fraud squad – and won

    The long read: It began as a routine investigation into a multinational called ENRC. It became a decade-long saga that has rocked the UK’s financial crime agency. Now new documents illuminate a case that has rewritten UK law and is set to end with a huge bill handed to taxpayers

    How oligarchs took on the UK fraud squad – and won

    This seems like it would be a dry read, it's not.

  • I meant their regular knives, not serrated ones. I sharpen all my knives and straight razors as well. I find Victorinox difficult.

    Serrated bread knives are usually only sharpened on one side, the other side is flat. You can do what is called 'back sharpening' where you lightly sharpen the flat side.

    In any case when someone wants an inexpensive knife recommendation I say the Thai Zebra brand, much cheaper and better quality.

    www.abc.net.au The nude female body has been depicted in art countless times. But where is all the pubic hair?

    From the influence of the devil to overzealous restorers, there are numerous strange reasons and theories behind the conspicuous lack of pubic hair on women depicted in Western art.

    The rum ration (also called the tot) was a daily amount of rum given to sailors on Royal Navy ships. It was abolished in 1970 after concerns that the intake of strong alcohol would lead to unsteady hands when working machinery.

    What is this, and why are there so many requests to it?

    I have searched and those lead to mostly stack overflow questions for developers, not users.

    I block all google and googleapi requests, this seems to slow the app down.

    Making your bed is a waste of time

    The only time I make my bed is when I change the sheets. That's once a week, and I only make it then because my mother instilled it in me.

    Not making it everyday saves time but more importantly airs everything out and deprives bacteria of moisture. That, makes it less stinky and lets my bedding last longer.

    I sleep hot, it doesn't matter what the ambient temperature is. Vermont in winter? Heating is off in my bedroom, and I have a leg out.

    Edit: seems like this isn't unpopular. It was a random thought that popped in my head. Everyone I have explained this to thinks it's weird.

    I understand the tidy thing, everything else in my bedroom is quite tidy, my life really, with the notable exception of my thought processes.
