Try it with a cup of pork soda!

Not me, but an old coworker used a similar trick to see if reviewers were actually reading his documentation. Before sending a large document out for review he would add a sentence to some random paragraph stating, “If you read this, come to my office and I will give you $20.” Surprisingly few people ever came for the money.

A couple of months ago I wrote a single comment

The modlog shows you were having quite a spat with some mods 5 months ago.

Nothing else

Again, the modlog shows otherwise.

Why bring this up now, five months later?

Making quiche for brunch. Apparently an omelet is fine, but a scrambled omelette is gay.

“What is Beehaw”: https://docs.beehaw.org/docs/core-principles/what-is-beehaw/

TL;DR: Beehaw.org is intentionally curated and moderated to try and maintain a “nice” environment free of aggression and trolling.

The influx of Reddit refugees last year was a bit of a shock to their system. The Beehaw admins have floated the idea of leaving Lemmy entirely.

It’s a cropped frame from this video, right around the 1:31 timestamp. Here’s a screenshot I took on mobile. Not the best quality, but if you have urgent memes to make it’ll do.

A ruler in the cooler.

something as simple as a variety of colors took hundreds of years of technological advancement

If anyone is looking for a rabbit hole to go down, the history of pigments is a great one.

Winter weather on the northeast US coast is a battle between cold, dry air blowing in from the northwest, and (relatively) warm, humid air from the Gulf Stream coming up from the Caribbean. The weather is determined by which of those two forces is “winning” at a given moment, and it can swing abruptly when the balance shifts.

Expect cold, windy, rainy weather. But don’t be surprised to get snow and ice if those Canadians send a strong cold front.

The comment comparing New York to Scotland is a good one. Dress like you are going to Aberdeen and you should be just fine in New York.

Being banned from a remote instance, and/or having your content removed from a remote instance, is a total non-issue for your local instance’s admins. It requires no effort on their part, and causes no problems.

In my mind you have every right to request that your personal content be removed. It isn’t always practical due to federation bugs and the nature of distributed services, but any decent admin should make a good faith attempt to fulfill your request.

Oof, I never knew that.

He deserved better than for Street Fighter to be his last movie.

That’s my understanding. Though I have only visited the Kartoffel regions myself.

Some German speakers say “Erdapfel” which is literally “earth apple.”

In some places that is a strategy to satisfy zoning requirements. The builder has to provide a minimum amount of outdoor area per dwelling unit. They could create a large ground-level courtyard, or they can create a bunch of tiny balconies that sum up to the same total area. The ladder latter strategy allows a larger building to exist on the same lot.

Edit: Stupid voice-to-text always gets me.

B-b-but he said he spared no expense!

I am glad the regulators are slowly cracking down on homeopathics. Companies selling those placebos now have to publish disclaimers like this admitting that it’s BS:

Not that it will stop a lot of people from buying homeopathics, but it’s a start.
