It has to be. The truck is made from stainless steel, which can develop small amounts of rust-like corrosion, but absolutely nothing of this fashion.

Mhm, anthromorphizing insects now.

This is definitely not a manager or HR reply this reads like a reply from a fellow nurse or doctor.
This is not the field to fuck around and provide inadequate care in. This is a field with lives literally at stake and there is no room for people who don’t take that seriously. Full stop.
- Comment on what has worked for you to stop getting angry thinking about people who hurt you? 4 months ago:
Can’t believe I didn’t think of that!! OMG, problem solved. Can’t believe it’s not therapy!
- Comment on Can't play an EA game via geforce now 4 months ago:
I’m 100% for piracy, but you forgot the step where the game you’re pirating has been provided by 1500 other trackers and 1461 of those have been modified to bundle malware.
- Comment on Factorio pretty much rewrote its world generation to account for new planets—like this volcanic one 4 months ago:
Fun Friday Facts.
They’ve been releasing awesome devblogs for years every Friday. It’s actually awesome
- Comment on Has google stopped working for finding anything? 4 months ago:
Kagi is pretty good as well.
It’s paid though, but if you are doing research a lot, definitely worth it.
- Comment on Has google stopped working for finding anything? 4 months ago:
I’ve had this happen more often recently. An hour, or multiple hours, isn’t unexpected anymore with search engines (not just Google, but Google is the worst offender).
It’s incredibly frustrating.
My job & hobbies involves research 20-30 hours a week, over the last 15+ years. It’s been a gradual decline in quality and usability since 2016 or so. I started complaining about it on forums and reddit, and not many people noticed, or thought the same. Only in the last 5 years or so have I seen others take notice, and even make articles about it.
It’s a real thing, and those of us that do a lot of research for real information that isn’t just today’s news feel it first.

Isn’t… This what a monopoly is?
Why are we celebrating that?
- Comment on Why is alcohol measured in percentages? 4 months ago:
Don’t most consumables list their volume?
1liter of beverage at 5% ABV is 50ml of alcohol. For example
- Comment on The RAM sticks I just bought off eBay 4 months ago:
Your logic isn’t sound, it’s being “old hardware” doesn’t necessarily mean it’s reliability is degraded.
Not on these time scales anyways.
Quality solid state hardware can continue operating as intended for many decades without degradation.

Super handy with Google email.

And this sort of thing is exactly how you end up with bad regex that invalidates valid emails.
The point isn’t to invalidate all bad emails. It’s to sort out most of them.
- Comment on In the United States is there an easy way to find out what business occupied space before the current business? 5 months ago:
I tried this in my city and got a “We don’t keep records that long”.
It’s for permits on a build 11 years ago…
Was pretty disappointed.
- Comment on Maybe this isn't proper shopping but $18.50 for four veggie burgers, buns, and danish seems like a lot 6 months ago:
You… Bought premium brand items, and are shocked that they are above average price?
:surprised pikachu face:
- Comment on Neighbour deliberately blocking OP 6 months ago:
Time to get a couple friends and some jack dolleys. Jack the truck up, and move it somewhere else.
- Comment on I hate that message. There's nothing to fix, I swiped left for a reason. 6 months ago:
Seems like a fine feature to me?
These apps are toxic AF to begin with.
- Comment on the internet is worse. 7 months ago:
Please tell me no one thinks that evidence < anecdotes? Please, for my sanity…
The sad state of knowledge & logic aside:
There is SIGNIFICANT value to proving something we all think is true. This means action can be taken, it can be cited in argument, and is actually credible as opposed to a “feeling” that’s it’s worse.
- Comment on Creators of Slay the Spire will migrate their next game to a new engine if Unity doesn't completely revert their changes 8 months ago:
Many many hours is a massive understatement.
Thousands and thousands of hours is more appropriate
- Comment on PSA: If you still have a Mojang account for Minecraft: Java Edition, you have less than a week left to migrate to a Microsoft account to avoid profile deletion 8 months ago:
This is becoming the norm here unfortunately…
- Comment on Starfield players pirate the DLSS mod after the developer locks it behind paywall 8 months ago:
I like that you are so unwilling to learn that you associate an explanation of a field you know nothing about as “defending”
😂😂
- Comment on Open source community figures out problems with performance in Starfield 8 months ago:
Plus you’ll get to see if they add all the post-launch microtransactions like games are starting to do these days.
Launch to good reviews, and THEN rebalance and force players towards transactions and paid currencies.
- Comment on Starfield players pirate the DLSS mod after the developer locks it behind paywall 8 months ago:
How to say you know nothing about game development but want to assert your opinion on it anyways without actually saying it.
It’s corporate profiteering not lazy devs. The devs work their asses off, these aren’t their decisions to make.
- Comment on Why is everyone so giddy about the flooding thay happened at burning man? 8 months ago:
Apparently middle class Americans are now “rich teats”?
- Comment on Why do people look at sunsets? 8 months ago:
Reddit quality toxicity right here.
And on NoStupidQuestions of all places.
Can we not?
- Comment on Can we please unpin the proprietary off-site/off-network promotion of discord 8 months ago:
Discord is a chat program that usually devolves into garbage memes and off-topic nonsense instantly.
This… Is somehow different from Lemmy other than the chat vs forum aspect?
- Comment on probably my biggest gripe with Lemmy right now. Feels like I'm just stuck in a loop. 9 months ago:
I sort by active and this is how my feed looks. Except I see the duplicates every 5-6 posts. But I see the same ~10 posts for maybe 100+ with a few non-duplicates sprinkled in. Same with sorting by hot.
It’s pretty bad
