- Comment on hourly sin 1 week ago:
It’s more a comment on the current American inter* of Jesus, especially those on billboards etc. There’s no real abortion hatred in the Bible either; people usually just use the scripture about god knowing them in the womb, despite a supposed abortion remedy being in the Bible, or Exodus 21:22-24 where the baby dying is only a fine but any damage to the pregnant woman is repaid in kind (eye for eye, tooth for tooth, death for death).

Hmm, the only time I learned about false cognates was when learning high school Spanish, so I assumed it meant two words that sound similar in different languages but have different meanings, rather than homonyms in the same language.
Example: embarrassed and embarazado
Looking the above example up for spelling, I see it’s called a false friend, and while it is a false cognate, false cognates can be in the same language too(from here en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Glossary#false_co… ) :
false cognate A word in a language that bears a phonetic and semantic resemblance to a word in another or the same language but is not etymologically related to it and thus not a true cognate. Examples include English day/Portuguese dia, German Feuer/French feu (both meaning “fire”), Malay dua/Sanskrit द्व (dva) (both meaning “two”), and English dog/Mbabaram dog. Compare false friend. false friend A word in a language that bears a phonetic resemblance to a word in another language, often because of a common etymology, but has a different meaning. Examples include English parent/Portuguese parente (“relative”) and English embarrassed/Spanish embarazada (“pregnant”). Compare false cognate.

- Comment on it is legal to keep a kangaroo as a pet in oklahoma 4 weeks ago:
Dogs can also rip out throats, but the actual occurrences are rare. I think that’s what they’re saying. Deer definitely can do it too, which you said in another post is that your understanding is that Kangaroos are more violent. Which, are they? Or is that just your impression of a foreign animal you’ve only heard newsworthy stuff about as opposed to animals you regularly encounter in your home country?
- Comment on Anyone in tech confirm? 4 weeks ago:
Depends on the person and what they’ve dealt with. I’ve worked IT since '99, but I’m not really burnt out. There are definitely things I dislike, but I still enjoy tech, I still enjoy gaming, and I’m still interested in future tech, even if I do agree I don’t like the direction it’s going in.
Part of it is that I seem to have a pretty decent burnout warning sensor, and I just stop whatever no work thing moving me that way for a while. Yes I like games, but I like reading, I like climbing, I like biking, I like photography, I like nature, I like the stars, etc.
Another reason may be that while I dislike the way some tech is going, I have other worries about either nontech stuff or just the main reason tech stuff is going in wrong directions, and those worry me more, so tech can still be an escape from worse worries.

Helium is one of those things I don’t really care about. I could tell you I never liked balloons because of their impact on the environment, and that would be true, especially with ones getting released into the air. However I also have a really selfish reason, and that was cleaning them up. I never really liked water balloons for the same reasons, and I’m so happy I haven’t been around much confetti.

Closer to $12 at current exchange, and a cursory search suggests some popular magazines are 1500yen per issue, so doesn’t actually seem that off.

In what is likely a touristy or well traveled section. Sometimes the difference includes how we do our transportation too, like more walking/biking. Maybe a difference in how often we rely on said restaurants too.

I’ve tasted cucumber water and can definitely taste the cucumber (I also drink unsweetened seltzers). I wonder why theirs isn’t working.
- Comment on Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark 2 months ago:
I do have an edge there as I’m actually pretty technically inclined (I do tech support for living, and at the risk of sounding like touting my own horn, I’m high up the escalation path for my company). So partitions and stuff are common things I work with, and this isn’t nearly my first brush with Linux. It’s just more getting games and a bunch of small unique software working is somewhat different from working with business servers where you have either stricter policies on what gets installed or vendor backup if necessary.
Still, much of my actual work involves solving issues by looking up errors and symptoms, so figuring out the issues here aren’t that hard for me either. While I do appreciate the GUI making it an easy switch from Windows, I’m no stranger to CLI either and feel quite comfortable using it, and documentation for a lot of what I’ve messed with so far has been pretty easy to find and follow.
As for my plans, I’ll probably eventually limit NTFS to one 1tb drive, or maybe do what you said and repetition it down to maybe 500gb, and hopefully most of what I do will be in Linux. I am the type to force myself to learn by force, so I haven’t actually booted back into Windows except for an issue where I couldn’t delete the NTFS partition from Linux. And I’ll probably hardly boot into Windows going forward either.
- Comment on Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark 2 months ago:
I joined that group today, but it wasn’t necessarily this support thing. I hated Windows update most of the time anyway. Mostly I just needed to buy a new SSD so I could dual boot, which will allow me to transition at my own pace while getting comfortable. I bought a cheap 500gb Saturday.
The other issue is my version of decision paralysis on choosing a distro, which generally is paralysis up until I suddenly just bite the bullet. I went with Nobara since it looked easiest to support my hardware and get into my games quickly.
So far I’ve gotten FFXIV, Warframe, and Enshouded running the way I want, and am slowly downloading my other current games. I have to keep a 200mpbs download limit because I’m working too. I also wiped one of my 2tb drives that mostly had games I was planning to play soon or just started playing to make it exFAT. I’ll probably eventually convert the others but may need to buy another 2tb drive for transfers if needed.

There are 3 colors on the avocado parts, a deeper green, a lighter yellowish green, and a light brownish part, which is consistent with avocado cuts and oxidization.

Definitely avocado; cucumber doesn’t have that color gradient but avocados do.

I’m definitely not an expert, but I thought the biggest issue with baked edibles were the temps you cooked them at might degrade THC. Isn’t it impossible to get the dough crispy at temps THC stays stable at?

I drive an EV, use my e bike to shop, Carey my own bags both bike and war, and have a portable collapsible basket for shopping if I use my car. No one has ever asked if or suggested that I’m gay.
In fact, I see more people assuming I have kids (I have none).
- Comment on Nintendo's Creature Capture Patent Dealt Blow Amid Palworld Lawsuit 2 months ago:
The decision mentions ARK, which has always been one of my arguments. It’s a survival builder with Dinos, but almost every creature is capturable/tamable in some way or another, aside from some bosses/special enemies. Ark has been around a while, and even added a stored in a ball like element years back, but it probably doesn’t exactly come to mind as a catch em all game for most people.
- Comment on And what car did you learn in? 2 months ago:
My first two cars were manuals, and I enjoy manuals (drive an EV now so no choice there) but this post reeks of acting like doing so makes us special. It doesn’t. We just learned a different skill, and almost anyone can learn it if they chose to and especially if they enjoy it.

I’m trying to think of the meaning you guys are saying, because for me it keeps making think of Computer Based Training, though I think that acronym fell out of use a decade ago.
Wait, I thought a sec and now I know exactly what it means. Oof ow my balls.

I actually make baba ganoush a lot, so sometimes I use it. I actually don’t use mayo when I’m making the sandwich, but if it’s fast food or a sandwich restaurant or something I’ll ask for light mayo or sometimes just mustard.
Haven’t tried vegan mayo, but maybe I’ll give it a try next time I feel like chicken/tuna salad.
- Comment on Fictional 2 months ago:
I think it means the instead that we made up measurements to measure the speed of light, but the God in this meme doesn’t use manmade measurements, so it’s just 1 (like 1c). Since the speed of light is the max theoretical speed of anything in the universe, it makes sense that anything else could be measured in fractions of it.

I’ve heard (as in, hearsay, so not reputable at all) that it may also be intended for emergency workers in case of a crash, but I still think that’s less likely than your explanation. If it were for emergency workers, you wouldn’t likely have it only on the rear window/bumper.

Not a romantic partner (obviously) but currently my sister and I are roommates, and when she’s out of town or staying at her boyfriend’s place I make the meals she isn’t really interested in, like Moqueca.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
Very small amounts of mayo to moisturize bread in a sandwich is about all the mayo I like. It’s heavy on almost anything with a significant amount, including stuff like takoyaki or okonomiyaki, which come with Japanese mayo on top by default. Chicken/tuna salads or coleslaw are maybes, but I think I like substitutes using say silky soy better anyway.
Reason I didn’t mention egg salad is because despite eggs previously being one of my favorite foods, I seemed to have developed an allergy to them. Them being in baked goods are fine, but I can’t eat them in full form. Maybe also a reason mayo messes with me.
- Comment on But why 2 months ago:
Not defending King, as I always found the gangbang suspicious after I learned about it (haven’t, and won’t read it anyway), but there are people who fully believe Trump is a pedo etc but don’t think there’s any actual files the way people want. They argue there’s evidence, sure, but not the exact client list full of incriminating details on everyone involved that people are expecting to see.
Personally, if I remember the timeline right I can see that point, and it could be true, or there could be files, but I think the lions share that associated with him should be under suspicion, no matter the political alignment, and we should still keep pushing for them anyway, even if there is a chance they aren’t the format lots of people think they are.
