It’s all fine as long as you hold the liquid on the outside.

Non-dominant hand has entered the game.

Yeah, but that would make them have two sides, one (or both) with writing on it.
- Comment on Let my Duolingo streak expire cos I don't want to give them any more AI training for free and this popped up 🙄 6 days ago:
I’ve been using the free version with ad blockers (and browser only) for years. No annoying notifications, no ads, no tracking of user data via an app, and I simply press back on the occasional Super promotion page. The only thing I miss is the discussion page for every lesson/question.

On a second thought, the dandelion’s Hungarian name ‘child’s chain grass’ is pretty reserved.

correct fraction = 4/5, as in, Luis’ pizza is smaller than the 4/5 (80%) of Marty’s pizza.

Similarly to how wine bottles with metal caps used to be frowned upon, because “all quality wines were bottled with corks”. I’ve had both awful and great wines from both corked and capped bottles.

You don’t even need to have emotions while using a scented body wash. You can just go “ah, roses, cool” and get on with it.
There is a legitimate reason to prefer something else. I would also want something that provides freshness in a minty/salty/whatever way. Roses do smell nice, but I would rather have something associated with icy/sporty freshness. But assuming it’s feminine just because it smells like flowers… consult renaissance folks.

- Comment on We're deep into the baggy era mate 2 weeks ago:
I can’t always buy my kind of stuff at cheap (enough) places. A few years back it was hella difficult to find straight fit jeans, and even now it’s rare to find one in the right size and colour. Bootcut (?) jeans made a pretty belated comeback in my country back when I was in my mid 20s, and I don’t think I can find them anymore. If I could, I would wear a not-too-wildly-bootcut one for summer.

I developed a habit way in my childhood.
You swallow. Then you tell yourself it was a peppercorn or some other bullshit. Unless you bit on something crunchy and super toxic, chances are you save yourself the disgust and loss of appetite.
But obviously check the rest of the food, just in case.

- Comment on You could get anything you wanted and it was FREE 5 weeks ago:
While it’s super annoying for the tech savvy, and gives a great opportunity to ill willed tech people, I’m sure it was an idiot proofing move. The average user is a not-so-tech-savvy office person, having relatively fuck all knowledge on extensions, and back in the time pretty much all programs got picky when facing an unknown/unsupported extension. Your average Joe/Jolene opened ‘veryimportantspreadsheet.xls’, renamed it to ‘veryimportantspreadsheetnew’ (without the extension), and made it impossible for Excel to open it by double clicking. Then in the best case they triggered an IT support request; in the worst case they reported that the very important spreadsheet got lost/corrupted and data was lost.

Possibly. I didn’t follow it that closely.

I know it’s my fault if I still haven’t watched it yet, but I managed to survive without this spoiler up until now.

As you said, it had the buying power of $1.25. Therefore, at the same size and at the price of $1.25, it would be perfectly alright. Don’t blame inflation, blame greedy companies increasing prices above inflation AND also shrinking portions.

I’m otherwise not super deep into economics so thanks for the correction. TIL.
