Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•Volkswagen hires 100 sheep to cut grass at Polish solar farm as experiment in agrivoltaics
141·9 days agoThat’s more than can be said for a good chunk of jobs, so not a bad deal.

Technology@lemmy.world•FAA says Boeing can resume self-certifying its jets as airworthyEnglish
33·9 days agoDoesn’t self-certifying defeat the entire purpose of certification?
Why not let students grade themselves while we’re at it.

46·9 days agoFor some reason I pictured the sheep being hired like a regular, human employee would.
What do you think makes you qualified for this job?
Baaaaaaa!
You’re hired!
Klok som en ugle is an old Norwegian saying, that translates to wise as an owl, and it’s not hard to see why people figured them to be clever creatures.

pics@lemmy.world•The amount of warnings not to take while pregnant on this pack of thalidomide. (It's still useful for treating certain cancers)
2·11 days agoI believe, in general, it’s a lot harder to hold a company liable for your own stupidity in Europe.

51·11 days agoReminds me… back in the 90s I had two Miatas, one imported from Canada and one from the US. In the operating manuals, one difference that stood out in the US manual was the inclusion of a warning to not stand while driving.
Those poor Canadian Miata owners didn’t stand a chance, did they.
Exceptional, hu?

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft admits Windows 11 has a GDID tracker with no off switch, first documented publicly in an FBI hacker complaintEnglish
4·13 days agoIt’s necessary since hacking is so time sensitive - if it can’t be done in a hurry there’s no point!
“Make yourself at home” is a polite phrase used to make visitors feel welcome. This guy took it a bit too literal and immediately made use of the dude’s bed for some quality phone-time, as that is presumably what he would’ve done had he been at his own home.
Now you reveal that you’re 80 and last drove through in 1965.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•"Prepare to die" is stupid as a threat. People die unprepared all the time. Winging it should be fine.
2·17 days agoMaybe that’s exactly what they are, or promises? “You have 6 months to live”.

Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•Russia’s war economy is starving its own strategic projects
18·18 days agoWhat’s the world come to, huh? Can’t even invade, plunder and rape a neighboring country without it having adverse effects on your economy?!

Formula 1@lemmy.world•Ferrari to get early run on new Madrid F1 track with filming day
2·20 days agoYeah, I suppose just getting a feel for the track can be useful? Though probably not to an extent that it will buy them any sort of advantage.

Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•Russia: Vologda Governor Runs Out of Gasoline After Telling Public Not to Panic Over Fuel Shortages
10·20 days agoThe Russian/Soviet government has more than a hundred years of experience serving implausible lies to its’ citizens and the world beyond. The ability to serve up absolute bullshit with a straight face is almost a little impressive.







Hope this one won’t trigger another moose war.
