Page 236 is Terns. I mean, if that’s what you’re in to…
- Comment on can i still consider myself to be a valid asexual? 4 days ago:
Labels are meant to help you navigate and exist in the world. If it’s achieving that, it’s the right label!
- Comment on Live: PM to address nation tonight on response to Middle East war 1 week ago:
I witnessed this from the bike path that runs adjacent before anyone comes at me. I was hardly riding quickly and I was moving faster than the climate change deniers.
In Queensland, they’re about to pass laws that means that if you were riding an ebike, you’d have to be on the road with them, or failing that, limited to 10km/h. Oh, and you’d need a drivers license
- Comment on If your son was a super wealthy multi-millionaire and lived in LA or New York, but he wasn’t famous and wasn’t close to your family members (brothers, nephews, nieces, etc.), would you tell them? 1 week ago:
I don’t have any other family members aside from my mother. I don’t have a son either…
- Comment on Is 71° F (21° C) the ideal weather to wear shorts? 1 week ago:
Ideal? No. Reasonable? Yes.
21C is a bit chilly for me. Not chilly enough that I need to rug up, but enough that I notice the cool tinge to the air
- Comment on Why do some people (i.e. white conservatives) think all Spanish speakers (especially native Spanish speakers) are Mexican? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t consider it a new point. I consider xenophobia and racism two slightly different manifestations of the same underlying mindset, and don’t consider the difference between the two to ever really matter in practical terms.
- Comment on Why do some people (i.e. white conservatives) think all Spanish speakers (especially native Spanish speakers) are Mexican? 2 weeks ago:
Against Mexicans/Latinos. ie, the bit where someone throws all hispanohablante folk in to the “Illegal/Mexican” bucket, irrelevant of where they come from.
If you want to argue that’s xenophobia more than racism, sure, that’s probably accurate. But it doesn’t really change my point…
- Comment on Why do some people (i.e. white conservatives) think all Spanish speakers (especially native Spanish speakers) are Mexican? 2 weeks ago:
Racism.

DRM is still a thing, as is region locking
Lots of Youtube videos can’t be seen in some countries for example. Netflix and other streaming platforms show different things on different dates depending on the region.
I remember when it was a thing, because it’s still a thing!

All you had to do was brew a coffee…
- Comment on Coffee ☕ 3 weeks ago:
There was even an entire standards document drawn up (as a practical joke), called the Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol (HTCPCP 1.0). To this day though, there the server status response 418 - I’m a teapot still exists. It was defined as part of HTCPCP as the error code returned when you tried to get a teapot to brew coffee :)
Web nerds took their coffee seriously! Or maybe they didn’t? Does doing up an entire standards document as an april fools joke count as serious or unserious?
- Comment on Why do we eat dessert? 3 weeks ago:
Your first two options contradict each other
1) It adds fat 2) It doesn’t add fat, because your body burns up fat when you sleep

Native english speaker, B1 spanish.
- Comment on Are there regions of the world where local men and women have divergent accents? 1 month ago:
Yeah, that’s what I meant too. Men and women almost universally have different vocal patterns though, even when they ostensibly have the same accent.
- Comment on Are there regions of the world where local men and women have divergent accents? 1 month ago:
All of them?

Interestingly, that shark is silky shark, literally named that because of the smoothness of its skin…
- Comment on Is Dungeon Meshi worth it if I'm not into anime? 1 month ago:
I’m not a fan of most anime for similar reasons to you, and whilst I’m not loving Dungeon Meshi, I’m enjoying it. The biggest trope that it has that I struggle with is the female character is very much the overly anxious worrier that has to be cajoled in to everything by the ensemble of males.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
The reason I doubt that is because I can’t smell ants “all the time”. And I can definitely smell them when they’re disturbed. But most people who talk about smelling ants describe the smell as “damp” or “mouldy” or “earthy”, and I have never smelled an ant that smells like that.
The only smell I’ve ever smelled from them is acrid and acidic, and that only happens when they’re disturbed or dead.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
I don’t think they’re talking about the dead/distressed ant smell. To the best of my knowledge, everyone can smell that. They’re talking about a general smell of ants

What’s proven is that our current mathematical models do not accurately represent the universe due to the way things move and effects of gravity
This is actually the bit that Vera Rubin discovered. The summary of her discovery in the quote is the issue :)
- Comment on Doesn't each community being local to each instance split the audience? 2 months ago:
Federate communities are literally the point of lemmy. They were there from the beginning?
- Comment on IF NO HEN 2 months ago:
My brain read it correctly on the first glance, but then when I looked at it more closely, I assumed I had misread it, and then had to work out how to read it, only to arrive back where I started…
- Comment on What should I do with 2 old machines (Mac Mini and HP Pavilion g7)? 3 months ago:
then you can always just set up a Jellyfin on the server and stream to your TV, which would allow you to use your normal remote.
Or simply laptop to the TV via the HDMI output and run it directly.

Yep. I removed their comment locally after replying to it. The reply was because those removals won’t federate
