  Is it usually earlier in the US? Sounds a bit on the high side for where I live too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's hear it, little lemmings.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Curie looks tired. If I’m gonna embarrass myself with anyone anyway, I’ll invite her and we’ll have a relaxing cup of herb tea at least.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pandering to conservative Americans⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You could also see it as a form of greenwashing, making you think you’re buying local, and thus greener, if you don’t look closely.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon thinks there is a bicurious double standard⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t mean to brag, but I have an astonishing lack of culture.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon thinks there is a bicurious double standard⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Initial reaction: there’s no way that’s real

  After reading the comments: what the fuck

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you encountered this?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolute madness.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you encountered this?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Asterisk: there is such a thing as “minimum wage for tipped workers”, which is lower than the normal minimum wage. At least in some provinces.

  For instance, in Quebec, the normal minimum wage is $16.10 per hour, but for tipped workers, it’s $12.90$.

  And yes, my reaction to this is also “what the fuck”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you encountered this?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t know a transaction could be updated after the fact. That’s wild.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you encountered this?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You WRITE the tip amount on the receipt? How does the payment terminal know how much to take?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bird⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll be honest I personally assumed ducks only ate fish.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how we see elements⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Astrophysicists are like an oversensitive grandma who hears an electric guitar and thinks nearly every music is metal

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨13 skeletons⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Granted. The wish spell has never existed, so you can’t use it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨13 skeletons⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Isn’t that killing the thief rogue subclass’s use magic device ability?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨13 skeletons⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm, that works, but only for spells in your class list. That won’t allow you to cast legend lore as a wizard, for instance

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Eksbawks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I hope we can reach the point where everything is convenient to switch to whatever you preference/physical controller is in every game.

  Maybe one day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Eksbawks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I like their button layout better though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨13 skeletons⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, that’s the risky use of Wish though. It comes with a chance of losing the spell forever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Eksbawks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Xbox has influenced PC gaming too much for that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨13 skeletons⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Wish, but for emulating other spells. Literally anything I want, of 8th level or lower, as if it was already prepared? So handy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨8BitDo Pro 3 Bluetooth announced with swappable magnetic ABXY⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, I see. A pity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨8BitDo Pro 3 Bluetooth announced with swappable magnetic ABXY⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I loved my Switch 1 pro controller until the L/R/ZL/ZR buttons started losing reliability. They wouldn’t register unless I pressed really hard, or would cut when I was trying to hold them pressed. I imagine the new one has similar issues.

  But wait your say the Switch 2 one has analog triggers now? Ugh. I hate analog triggers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨8BitDo Pro 3 Bluetooth announced with swappable magnetic ABXY⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What are those L2/R2 buttons like when you switch their mode?

  Do they resemble what we had on PS2 (feels like just a button)?

  If so, I’m really interested. Damn gradual triggers do NOT work well with most games where you want precision for those button presses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My Take Home Pay⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks like a pretty low tax rate to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shhhhh⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You mean, beep when they’re finished?

  Many microwaves have a semi-hidden feature to mute all sounds. Usually involves long-pressing one of the number buttons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finally a map to show me⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d say it’s probably averaged from bra sizes sold by some company.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Investigation finds Bangladesh politician bought over 350 homes in UK⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Initially misread as “brought” and imagined someone squeezing houses in a briefcase

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Job related: Am I being stupid?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you looked into becoming a nurse practitioner? You sound like you might feel more fulfilled with more medical knowledge and a job in more of an expert role.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Framework (2nd Gen) Event is live on February 25th - Framework holding new product launch in 2 weeks⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh I could likely see the difference. But if there’s a significant impact on battery life, I would probably be just fine with the lower resolution.

  It would suck if the touchscreen option were only available with a 4K resolution because of that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Framework (2nd Gen) Event is live on February 25th - Framework holding new product launch in 2 weeks⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Touchscreen? Great!

  UHD though? In such a small form factor, it sounds like a needless battery drain. Or are there use cases I’m missing?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨eggs in japan⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably not. They contained a lot of air at that point. But yeah … If it doesn’t look, taste or smell rotten, I’m usually not worried by food.

  But then again, I’m vegetarian, so I avoid most non-obvious risks by that alone.
