@CoinOfNote@AimeeMaroux Great coin, but I'll see your tetras and raise you a didrachm. From Neapolis, in Campania. With a winged Nike placing a wreath on the man-headed bull, Achelous, on the reverse, and a bust of the nymph Parthenope, daughter of Achelous and the muse Terpsichore, on the front. Struck between 330 and 275 BCE. 😊 #numismatics#AncientCoins
The #GOP candidates’ debate getting underway. The media on site for the Fox News/RNC event is restricted to watching from the Fiserv Forum players’ parking garage.
@w7voa Huh. I didn't realize that the Mexico's military was in charge of the Mexican government. Or does Pence plan to ignore the Mexican government and pick a general to "partner with"?
@EU_Commission Where do I find information about the progress of these pilot projects? As the announcement dates from Jan 31, 2023, some progress should have been made.
The story is presented as a found footage montage 👍
This has been on my watchlist for years and I'm glad we finally watched it! One of the most genuinely freaky movies I've watched this year. If you're looking for interesting characters, tasteful jump scares, and lingering psychic damage, this is a must watch!
I finished my last novel for this spooky season this morning. Fittingly, it was "I'm Thinking of Ending Things":
No monsters to be found in this one 😐
The story kept me guessing for a long time 👍👍
The only reason this doesn't immediately beat "Red X" and "The Between" for the best novel this season is because I guessed the ending a little early. Still, a thrilling and interesting read!
@LovesTha@mansr the lots squeeze together in the front on this part of street. Some mailboxes are on opposite sides of a driveway, and others are ~120ish meters apart. Was trying to give a rough average.
Where my parents live, the mailboxes are all together in a little cul-de-sac and so the post office truck just has one stop in that part of the neighborhood. As I understand it, all the new neighborhoods have to do that with their mailboxes now - the USPS seems to want to phase out mailboxes at each house to make delivery faster and more efficient.

@jerry Does your instance have something "special", modified software, fork etc. which could be blocked or they are blocking too much and Mastodon web interface couldn't run?
I haven't been following it very closely but looks like Mastodon's monthly active user count climbed back up to 2.1M over the last couple of weeks. Not far off from our last peak!
@Gargron "was"? I like to believe it still is for many of us - particular people who see generative AI for what it is. Who invests in this global asset scraping endeavor? Who profits from it? No one that I want any business with. What are they doing with their ill-gotten gains - to improve society, the planet? Fairly sure we know the answer to be below zero and far worse than nothing.
Photographers and artists rejoice—just like in the official iOS and Android apps, pictures are no longer cropped to 16:9 on the web version of Mastodon. Link previews have also gotten a face lift, and will now show both the article date and author when available.
