Must be a regional thing because for me “our” always sounds like “hour” no matter what

Why do I feel like there should be a saddam hussein silhouette hiding in there somewhere?
- Comment on BBC Weather app bug forecasts hurricane force winds in UK 1 month ago:
“Jovian hurricane force” would be more accurate.
- Comment on Was the first SSN to be assigned in the US just 000-00-001? 1 month ago:
No, originally the first three digits designated where you lived when you requested your SSN. The middle two were also not sequential. The final four digits were the only purely sequential ones.
- Comment on If Trump loses the election and flees to another country to avoid his sentencing in his (multiple) lawsuits, does the Secret Service have to go with him? 1 month ago:
Thanks for the confirmation, robobruddah
- Comment on If Trump loses the election and flees to another country to avoid his sentencing in his (multiple) lawsuits, does the Secret Service have to go with him? 1 month ago:
AFAIK ex-presidents aren’t allowed to leave the country without specific permission, due to all the classified crap in their heads. If one tried to flee the country, it would be their detail’s duty to detain them.
Heck, they’re not even allowed to drive in public roads… not that Trump has probably ever driven a car.
- Comment on Horse archers ruin every game they are in. 1 month ago:
The horse archers in civ 6 are so pathetically lame that the only reason to build even one is to get 3 points toward a golden age. The computer builds swarms of them, of course, but anything can kill them, even a recon unit.

I’ve never tried one, but now it seems I have to.

Cinnamon apple jelly should be more common too! (Not apple butter… fuck Apple butter).
Apple cinnamon all the things!

I have been, but I ate beans or potatoes, not rice. I know lemmy loves to bang on about beans and rice but it’s not my thing. Growing up in a farm community meant there was a lot of cheap food to be found locally.

Dude! I thought you were dead! Welcome back!
- Comment on Krillin 2 months ago:
Wait… people actually like rice? I thought it was just a thing you ate with other things because of reasons I don’t understand. It never occurred to me that people would eat it on purpose, because they enjoy it.

I must admit I’m a little sad that you forgot to label the mysterious human figure. Who could it be? We’ll never know.

The story is good, the gameplay very good, and the visuals absolutely stunningly wonderful. I recommend it without reservations
- Comment on When a medicine asks you to "take with food" how much food is enough? 3 months ago:
Usually just a small amount of food is enough, but your pharmacist should talk to you the first time you fill the prescription and tell you if more is necessary
- Comment on How do you get people to wash their vegetables when you're at their house and you don't wanna seem rude? 5 months ago:
From Serious Eats:
First off, it’s true: mushrooms do absorb water when you wash them, but it’s only about 2% of their total weight, or, translated to volume, that’s about 1 1/2 teaspoons of water per pound, which in turn translates to an extra 15 to 30 seconds of cooking time.
“Soggy” is an exaggeration.
- Comment on How do you get people to wash their vegetables when you're at their house and you don't wanna seem rude? 5 months ago:
There are a lot of people who think, largely due to misinformed cooking shows, that you shouldn’t wash mushrooms, just wipe them off.
If you want them washed, maybe say “Hey, I can help out by washing those for you.”
- Comment on "Select a size" when it's just standard paper towel roll. Literally the same way it's always been. 5 months ago:
Tell me you’re young without telling me you’re young.
Paper towels, for most of my life (I’m old AF), were as long as they were wide. Square, they were. Bounty originated select-a-size by perforating them twice as frequently, so they were half as long as wide. Others eventually followed suit and now youngsters think that’s how it’s always been.
- Comment on Does Multipoint functionality in headphones allow you to listen to two different devices at the same time? 5 months ago:
I’m not sure if it’s even possible to mix two sources with Bluetooth multipoint. I’ve never seen a device that could.
The few that I’ve seen that can mix sources have all had Bluetooth plus a wireless dongle and they could mix the two connections.

Unfortunately, on a Chevrolet, it also kills other things in the overhead console, such as the mic for making hands free calls.
