Either that or Nature Valley crunchy granola bars.
(Dwarf bread is probably based on hard tack, a puck of dense biscuit eaten by sailors in the far off days of long ahead. A bread so dense it would make US Southerners weep, and explains the lack of teeth on sailing ships far better than scurvy)

Amazing, and thank you for summoning me
It is highly likely this was the inspiration for the Scone of Stone, but I’m not aware of Sir Terry talking about it. The wiki editors certainly see a connection tho, and I think it’s a fair assumption to make that this is the thing and the whole of the thing

Sometimes those little round keys for special cylinder locks and po boxes were the hardest to figure out.
Yup! I keep my Ilco bible with me for just that reason. Also, three keys at once? Damn son.
I never had brass splinters in my feet, but I’ve had plenty in my hands

Looks like one of those assa a-xx high security commercial keys
I thought the same
It would be easier to steal keys off of someone’s desk or just pick the lock over stalking someone online, verifying you know their location irl, decoding a key from a picture, and then using that key at their work(?). Possible, but highly improbable. Like, if a YT streamer showed their house key and their address was public enough, yeah, that’s a risk. Some rando on Lemmy? Not so much

Sorry sorry, professional interest here. I have to correct you, because I noticed you’re wrong in my field of expertise
Broken key looks like an Assa or possibly a Medico, but I’m not familiar enough with the milling to say for sure. The blade is stamped so thin that I’d have to say it’s probably Assa. The small desk lock key is, I’m 95% sure, a y13 Yale key.
Y11 is a more common small keyway, similar Master’s m1 padlock key, but the milling at the bow of the pictured key isn’t y11. Y1 is the classic Yale house key, comparable in size to Schlage’s SC1. These are, of course, all Ilco key numbers with original manufacturer brand names.

Joshua Dean had a memory keen
He was strong and he ran every day
But his lungs turned to goo And he had a stroke too
At 46, he was sent on his way
Oh, and Swampy Barnett loved his mama
And he took a lot of pride in his work
He found 300 reasons why a plane couldn’t fly
And now he’s over his head in the dirt
You can know a lot
You can know a little
But whatever you know
Just don’t blow the whistle

I used to do the tip pour to get the last drops out of the fuel pump head. But i still had drop going down the side of my car, so i started shaking the nozzle as i tipped it.
That being said, i still occasionally get drips from the nozzle. At this point I think I’m going to have to find the fuel pump’s taint and press on it while squeezing the hose. I guess the pumps in my area are reaching middle age

It’s simple.
If the money gained by selling user data is greater than sales lost to piracy because of the required account, it’s a win for the company. They probably figure those countries that can’t create a PSN account are lost sales anyway, so screw em, right?

NGL it’s the only name that readily comes to mind. I’m not deep into cracked games, since my tastes are for smaller games like We Happy Few and Outer Wilds. Steam launcher works fine for those, I’m just opposed to a launcher and account from every publisher. Rockstar, EA, Sony, and others can kiss my shiney metal ass. If I have to create an account, I’m not interested

Yeah, and they choose to participate in capitalism by being employed. What a Rube! What a buffoon! 100% self inflicted.
Personally I’ve made my own smartphone out of glue and matchsticks, and stuff I stole from Walmart. I only post via a VPN, and only to servers that run on biofuel and solar. If you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go mock the homeless for using iPhones. Have they no appreciation for the privacy they lose?

Everyone focuses on the typo when dude did an awesome thing. Reddit doesn’t allow title edits and GBoard is shit at producing the words you want, and then dude gets a bunch of Tina jokes.
They got screwed thrice; by their boss, by Reddit, and by their keyboard

To be clear, “important” in this context of how much companies are affected financially by your death.
You could have a raft of friends and family that would be devastated by your passing, but if none of them have political or financial influence, it would purely depend on how
overworkedbored the police are and how easy it is to solve the case. - Comment on Are there people without handedness? 2 months ago:
The reason for that is that is… The side left to me (where the rest of the couch is), is unobstructed and leaves enough room to place and operate the mouse there.
Suuuuuuuure buddy, your overly detailed explanation is very believable.

I think the real issue is that prop design has fallen so far from the ILM heyday. Now it’s best described as follows:
