A study in semantics

He’s not wrong in what he says but I’m quite sure he means something different.
- Comment on We're in the endgame now 2 months ago:
He’s not wrong. A judge can rule if there’s a trial and that judge will always have to apply the law.
- Comment on The official way to chat with the European Union is with.... Facebook 2 months ago:
Mastodon isn’t chat. Their Messenger chat is manned with people that answer your questions.

- Comment on There's a new toll I'll have to pay to drive anywhere. 3 months ago:
Mass transit is necessary here because the city has an old layout not designed for cars and so it wouldn’t be able to function if everyone had to drive.
Cities shouldn’t be designed for cars. They should be designed for people. I get it. They’ve added a tax and that’s inconvenient. I agree.
I live in a European city with a medieval layout. I’m happy they started banning cars. Our city is more liveable without than with cars.
- Comment on Is road or rail more expensive? 4 months ago:
Yeah… You’re not speaking generally, are you? Because in most EU countries, rail ise is subsidised.
- Comment on Powdered drink mix without water? Assuming you drink a lot of water. 4 months ago:
Sorry, litteral translation. English isn’t my mother tongue.
It’s about two gallons to get acute symptoms but just drinking loads of water for a long time can get your sodium levels dangerously low. Anyway, just take care. Too much of anything is… too much.
- Comment on Powdered drink mix without water? Assuming you drink a lot of water. 4 months ago:
It’s unhealthy to drink tons of water. Water poisoning is real. When you drink too much water you purge minerals and other useful substances out of your body.
- Comment on questions about sex toys: would it be a bad idea to fully insert a vibrating egg in my bum? 4 months ago:
Disgusting! Where?

Don’t know myself but would you please let us know afterwards? For scientifical reasons of course.

You spilled them.
- Comment on How do I host a site for sharing notes for peers? 4 months ago:
You want to self host? Good :-)
All a bit different. All have their benefits. Just have a look.
- Comment on Does the USA simply have no food safety standard at all? 4 months ago:
Ah yes. Sous vide enters the chat
- Comment on Does the USA simply have no food safety standard at all? 4 months ago:
Soup in plastic bags is the standard in most industrial kitchens all over the world.
Especially when you heat them ‘au bain marie’ it’s safe-ish. I don’t store food in plastic containers because even food grade plastic leaches but it’s generally allowed.
- Comment on I wonder why people litter in the USA? 5 months ago:
It’s a societal problem.
- Comment on I wonder why people litter in the USA? 5 months ago:
People should take their trash home. It’s great for awareness.
- Comment on Where does a man get a proper shoe horn that will not break 6 months ago:
We have the long steel ones from IKEA. Solid. Never had any problems with them.
- Comment on If I wanted to die in a viking funeral, like getting put on a boat and set ablaze while I am in the middle of the see can this be done? Or is it even legal? 6 months ago:
I want to be slung away by a war machine. They should wait until I’m a bit stiff so my ballistic properties would be better.
- Comment on Do rotating plates in microwaves help when heating food? 7 months ago:
I know what you’re trying to say but it just isn’t that simple.
With my mother’s 40 year old microwave the center is the worst spot but mine is just different. How the energy is distributed will differ from device to device.
You can’t know where the standing waves occur so you’ll just have to experiment but I’ll agree that the safest guess is to put your food slightly off centered on the rotating disc.
- Comment on It's coming! :( 7 months ago:
IE used to be great. But that was when the animals still spoke.
- Comment on Do rotating plates in microwaves help when heating food? 7 months ago:
But nothing really lies in the center. If you put a pie dead center in the microwave, 99,99% of it wouldn’t be in the center. Even the center of the turntable isn’t in the center of the microwave.
- Comment on Do rotating plates in microwaves help when heating food? 7 months ago:
Even in center it will work given that the time you are heating isn’t tiny.
- Comment on Would it be weird if I took something my neighbor put out for trash? 7 months ago:
Just go and ask

Search for Pink and Brie.
- Comment on Toot toot 8 months ago:
Liquid ass. That’s the solution.
- Comment on [deleted] 9 months ago:
Nope, it’s not weird. It’s not common either. You will get made fun of when anyone finds out.
- Comment on Windows just changed the desktop wallpaper and re-added the search bar without my permission after an update 10 months ago:
And they’ve made Bing your standard browser and activated Copilot.

This is the way
- Comment on if the bird flu started spreading between humans, how long would you need to stay quarantined before it was safe to come out?? 1 year ago:
Exact. Quarantine only works when we all participate.
