US Customary Units and Imperial Units are not 100% the same, so three former the American system makes sense.
- Comment on How do I tell my co-workers I'm not attending a wedding without creating drama? 1 week ago:
I can’t go. Why not? Personal reasons. What do you mean? What reasons? It’s personal. What could be more personal than your brother’s wedding? I’m getting a penectomy.
I guarantee that’ll shut them up for a little while at least.

Yeah you’re going to need 11 men. And an ocean, for some reason.

😬
- Comment on What's the deal with using phonetic symbols here on Lemmy? 2 weeks ago:
I have that problem when people use “it’s” when it should be “its” and vice versa. Unfortunately blocking those would leave me with a Lemmy of maybe half a dozen users.
- Comment on If you replace the beef patty in hamburger with a think slice of ham does that make it more or less a hamburger? 3 weeks ago:
Was there a burg on the berg?
- Comment on If French people are strict about eating on a set schedule, then when do waiters and cooks eat? 3 weeks ago:
You could turn that around: if everyone eats at different times, the waiters never have time to eat because they have to work at all times.
But if everyone eats at the same time, then waiters can easily eat before or after that.

The reasons you give are exactly why I don’t like the modern Diablo games. I don’t begrudge you your fun with D3, I only lament that it’s not for me anymore. And it’s clear that a lot of people agree with you, evidenced by the sales numbers.
- Comment on Diablo V Teaser 5 weeks ago:
D3, D4, and D:I have all been disappointing to me, for different reasons. I’m quite certain D5 won’t be for me either. I am no longer the target audience for Diablo.
- Comment on On 9/11 what was the internet like after it happened? Did people quit being dicks or trolls and showed some decency? Or was it like we have today and nothing changed? 5 weeks ago:
I was a moderator (we didn’t call it that) at an online chess server, with live chat. When the attacks happened, people started to talk about it. At first I tried to moderate them, sending them to appropriate chat rooms, but soon the admins told me these were special circumstances and to just let people talk.
What was especially strange for me was that I might’ve been among the first people in my neck of the woods to hear about it. People were not chronically online at the time - I just happened to be online, and in a live chat environment with Americans, so I heard about it that way. When I turned on the TV, there was nothing yet. I kept switching between channels, and finally CNN was the first to interrupt their programming for a special bulletin, followed a bit later by BBC. Other channels followed a bit later.
As for the conversations online, I mostly remember shock, and later fear of what this might start. Jokes and memes came later.

- Comment on Sony lawyers argue that nobody is stupid enough to believe they actually own digital games, because then only one person could buy GTA 6 1 month ago:
Ah yes when I buy a book nobody else can read it either.
- Comment on What is the easiest way to calculate the calories in this bread machine recipe? 1 month ago:
This looks like what we would call “milk bread” - very slightly sweet bread that you’d get on special occasions.
Cake would be a lot more sugar, and probably eggs.

Shrug, cancel your reply, move on. Be a goldfish.

It might’ve been a specific type of adult game.
I’ll be all right.
- Comment on "I don't answer questions" 2 months ago:
No, it is definitely the driver’s job to keep an eye on how fast they’re going.
- Comment on Could I theoretically grind up one of those pink salt lamps and use it to season my food? 2 months ago:
All smileys deserve a nose. For decades now, people have been mutilating smileys out of sheer laziness. It must stop. The smiley insurrection is coming, and I’ll be on the front line.
- Comment on Do non-English speakers learn to code in English, or in their native language? 2 months ago:
As a native Dutch speaker, Trötflöte sounds hilarious.
- Comment on Do non-English speakers learn to code in English, or in their native language? 2 months ago:
So you’re saying everyone should code out of their ass.

Wait wait wait, what happened to the woman at 4:11? Did she survive? Did President Cleveland swoop in to save her? We need to know!

It depends how you define “better”, but in terms of punctuality Germany consistently ranks near the bottom. Bottom 3 of the EU for high speed or international trains, bottom 6 for local trains.
So yes all neighbouring countries may have their own issues with trains, but regarding punctuality they’re consistently better.

Yeah those are common in Europe. Most people just wave at Sandra when they pass by.
- Comment on Disregarding current event, why was it always said if you eat Taco Bell your going to have the burning shits or something? I've eaten it for years and nothing even happened. 2 months ago:
Yes, they are in Asia, Australia, North and South America, and a few countries in Europe. That said, I’ve never seen them.

This is true for YouTube as well.
- Comment on If you need a portable reader, is there any reason to choose an e-reader over your phone? 2 months ago:
Follow up question: any recommendations? I definitely don’t want kindle, and the only alternative I often see mentioned is kobo. But it seems that also comes with its own software pre-installed? Can it be easily replaced without jailbreaking? Do you need a kobo account for anything?
Are there other brands that don’t try to push you into their ecosystem?
- Comment on What is it like being drunk? How much control do you have? 3 months ago:
Twice in my youth I’ve blacked out. I remember the start of the evening, and I remember waking up with no clue how I got to where I was. In between, there’s nothing. I couldn’t tell you whether I was still in control or not, because I simply don’t remember. Neither do my friends: I just disappeared.
Other times, when I was “normally” drunk, it’s definitely like others here have said: fewer inhibitions but there’s still a core that can make decisions. But when I blacked out? No idea. I might’ve stolen the Mona Lisa and replaced it with my own copy for all I know.
I just wish I remembered where I put the real one.

I love how millennial has become the new code for old. Gen X has been skipped again. As always.
