Can I invest in this template early?

Came here to post this. I guess I'll post the embed and the explain instead.

Explain xkcd #37: Hyphen

I'm yet to be convinced of the utility of orbital computing...

What are your thoughts on the MaiaSpace offshoot of ArianeGroup? Do you think they'll be successful enough to carve out a segment of the launch market?

I don't believe it's technically possible on Lemmy to specifically highlight unread comments

Are you sure about this? Connect and Thunder reliably show the number of unread comments in a given thread. Is there really no way to find out which comments these are?

LOL, I forgot about Greedo's heels!
