The frontend is the portion of a webserver you see. It's the website after the server has done processing everything it needs to in the background.

Instances in this case means a webserver which is apart of the fediverse, more specifically one that uses the lemmy API in this case.

So tldr, a lemmy server could use tesseract in its code to have a prettier website displayed for users.

    It absolutely is 1/4th of what remains. Rachel will be left with 9 and Tracey will have 7. They're not going to say 'what remains of the quarter tracy took' because it's nonsensical. Tracy took a quarter so there's nothing that remains of the quarter tracy took. they're not going to mean 'there is only one quarter left and tracy takes It' either, because that also is nonsense. The only meaning that makes any possible sense, then, is 'tracy takes one quarter of what remains', which is 12/4 = 3. Tracy takes 3, that's the only answer that makes logical sense.

    The 'remaining' quarter means a quarter of what is remaining of Rachel's pile. The phrasing is odd but there really isn't any way to misconstrue it without turning the meaning into nonsense that you can't do math on.

    I agree, you see cannibalism at higher rates with starving people. However, there's literally no one who is dying of horny.

    Hypothetically, if we were able to get the same level of repulsion in people, to the act of SA, then there'd essentially never be a scenario where an urge - strong enough to overcome that repulsion - could come about.

    I think the important thing is just the repulsion to the idea of cannibalism. You wouldn't think at a party about trying to drug someone so you could eat them, just the thought is horrifying. Literally the only situation it'd come to your mind as a possibility is one of the most desperate times.

    That's how terrible rape as a concept should be. Literally bordering on psyche-breaking. Doesn't matter how similar the concepts are, it's our reactions to the concepts that matters.

    Seems to me to have always been a meme, even before the internet. I suspect it's some amount of shit-talking going to an extreme, propaganda that has long just turned into an incomprehensible slush, or it's adopted from other countries' hate of france being treated as self-explanatory and just becoming a given.

    Very rarely is the hate for france real, it's pretty much just a joke anytime it's been used while I've been in earshot.

    The joke template is: Anyone: *says something disparaging about the french that is either very vague or about them being snobbish or quick to surrender*

    Everyone else: *agrees without question or elaboration.*

    I'm sure some portion of the US genuinely does view the French in a bad light, but I've yet to meet them.

    I am working identifying a problem in a VFD for a friend's belt grinder, and I've ID'd the other ICs on but, but I wasn't able to ID this last 8-pin one. I know it's made by Microchip, but couldn't pull anything up from the codes on the front.

    It's possible this is an encryption key chip with some obfuscated info on the front. However, I don't know how common that actually is.

    Any help is appreciated.

    UPDATE: Looks like this one's solved. I went back and double-checked the code, and it looks like y'all were correct on it being '4A08I' and not '4A081'. This chip is also the closest IC to the MCU which lines up perfectly with this being an EEPROM.

    I appreciate everyone's input and help with this!
