  Like an AI’s idea of what a font looks like.

  Just put lots of hot sauce in your pancakes. Duh! Problem solved!

  Stupid, sexy, Kong!

  Does it count if you bust it out ex post facto?

  “Simply it leaving as”?

  Because it seems like a stupid idea on a surface? (Not to imply it’s not a stupid idea on other levels too, but crypto and AI are not ridiculous in the surface)

  Do they squish in deeply when you click them?

  At first glance I thought that was a giant plate of pancakes with a giant pat of butter on it.

  FWIW masking is also associated with ADHD.

  Man, I don’t know where he got it, but that it requires a tripod to smoke, is pretty impressive.

  Think outside the baahhhhx!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I was there...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ditto in US. It was at least an opt out thing and referred to as getting an “unlisted number”, I can’t recall if there was a charge to do it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I was there...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t speak for others, and I’m not sure I ever make that particular typo (espec swipe typing on phone), but I’ve noticed that I sometimes make typos that don’t particularly make sense to me… I’ll write a similar word that I would never actually confuse with the word I wanted…is not a homophone, is not a letter adjacency typo. I think the brain just works differently than we expect sometimes…

  Or they’ve decided to go to bed and don’t want to start a conversion.

  Or they are like me and past a certain time, they just don’t want to have any social interaction, no matter with who.

  Back in the day, pre-internet and texting, a lot of people used to have the idea that it is rude to call somebody after some particular time in the evening. Personally I’d be down with this convention relating to ALL forms of communication.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every time!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I get what you said. Like you, I rarely reboot my Linux machines. I was agreeing with you in not getting the meme.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Okay now what if I show you this image and tell you it's an actual conversation between me and my brother?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends how fast you shower and how low flow your showerhead but a shower can easily use more water then a bath.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every time!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I (another Linux user) also don’t get this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dumbasses⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Opposite” and “different” are not the same thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does smelling your food while you cook it make it taste bland?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have never experienced this as a problem. However one does learn to compensate for differences between the eating experience and the tasting-while-cooking experience.

  For example, when it comes to heat (chili heat), I’m cautious, knowing that what is tolerable for a taste, may not be tolerable for a whole meal since the heat tends to build as your eat. I also adjust for my audience’s taste, for example if I think they can take less heat then I can, or like things less salty.

  It can only be destroyed by throwing it into the heart of Mount Doom. Or other volcano.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WAT DA⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That each bigger bear is also standing forward of the smaller ones and with it’s hind legs hidden behind them exaggerates how much bigger they are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How about the digestive system?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Quite true. It is also important to know the limits of the precision you are going to be getting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How about the digestive system?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You seem to not be getting that words can have multiple (even if related) meanings. When some science or other discipline takes a common word and defines it really precisely for their purposes, that doesn’t change the definition of the common word for all usages and mandate that all lay people use it only with that discipline’s more precise definition.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How about the digestive system?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  But it’s a good definition if you are, say, putting a thing into each indentation. That’s why the two definitions are different.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yes I know it doesn't work like that⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No you make the whole drill out of potatoes, duh!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Natural Insecticides⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  As I do more reading though, I find warnings that many dish detergents will harm plants. Some people do spot tests, but buying a commercial insecticidal soap is safest. I guess I’ve been lucky, maybe because I use a crunchy natural dish detergent that is pretty mild.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Natural Insecticides⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know what you consider regular soap, but my understanding is that liquid soaps typically have potassium, bar soaps may use either. But I was using the term pretty loosely, people often make homemade insecticidal ‘soap’ with dish detergent which isn’t technically soap at all. Any surfactant tends to kill insects by compromising the waxy coating that keeps them from drying out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Natural Insecticides⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You can just make a simple soap solution to spray them with. Look up home made insecticidal soap.

  So someone added a “t” and switched in a mammal body and head? I feel like I’m still missing something…
