Looks a bit like a seal skull to me.

Edit: maybe a South American sea lion

Haven't been able to try another device, but it happens with catbox.moe as well as imgur: https://lemmy.ml/post/31389707

When I go to the gifs community on Sh.itjust.works the ones hosted directly seem to work, but the ones on imgur don't.

I used to have a Dell stick PC that I traveled with to hook up to TV's in hotels and apartments to stream Netfli, youtube, plex, etc. Worked great for its size and I would hook up a mini wireless mouse and keyboard to control it.

Look up Stick PC or PC on a stick. You can get windows or Linux variants and I imagine you can change the OS if you work at it.

Is hockey a popular sport outside of North America? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 days ago

I was in Buenos Aires and saw a hockey shop and I was like, whaaaat? Then I realized it was selling field hockey equipment. Most places I travel, if you talk about hockey it means field hockey, and you have to say "ice hockey" if that's what you're talking about.

In my feed, when I see posts like https://lemmy.world/post/30432101 that are embedded image links (maybe?), when I click on the thumbnail it doesn't work, but clicking on the title to go to the post, it does.

Thumbnail click gives this and doesn't play:

Title click gives this and plays properly:

This has been happening for a little while now (days? weeks?) but I haven't tried narrowing down specifics. I'll update if I find non-i.imgur.com posts with the same issue.

Edit to add: Android, I think Edge is the embedded browser.

Vancouver announced as newest PWHL franchise for 2025-26 season (www.cbc.ca)
 

League ‘hopeful’ to add 2nd expansion team ahead of next season

The Professional Women's Hockey League will expand to Vancouver and begin play next season, the league announced on Wednesday.

The decision to expand to Vancouver had been rumoured for weeks, and was finally confirmed at a press conference in downtown Vancouver on Wednesday morning. The official announcement was made by a local under-11 girls' hockey team. The girls crowded around a podium, waving signs to show how badly they wanted Vancouver to get a PWHL team, before announcing the news.

Vancouver was chosen as the seventh PWHL franchise after an eight-month process that saw expansion bids from groups in more than 20 cities.

Clearing Up the Canada Tariff Misinformation (The Plain Bagel) (www.youtube.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/40789849

A deeper look into Canada's long-standing high tariffs on certain US imports and why they don't actually apply to most current trade.

"If the countries took a true approach to reciprocating tariffs, then the US would simply copy Canada's tariff quota, which would mean that neither country would pay any more based on current trade balances"

I just had a thought from my joke post on AskLemmy: hypothetically, how would abolishing states fit into the Project 2025/Trump/Musk agenda. (lemmy.ca)
 

Would it be antithetical? Would it help them push the agenda? Could it be an end game?
