conciselyverbose , to piracy in MiG switch ban questions

Supposedly even cloud saves of a dirty game can get you banned.

I don’t know if that’s true and am not really engaged with the piracy stuff. I did hack mine and have some of my cartridges ripped so I don’t have to swap them, and intend to install Android, so I’ve seen the basic guides and explored, and people have the impression that almost any time a copied game touches a Nintendo server there’s a risk.

Nikls94 , to asklemmy in How many of you would eat Sriracha Hot Chilli Sauce without fries, and what's your alternate?

I put it in wraps, to meat, as a condiment on sandwiches, as a dip for toast, even on noodle salad and to some Wurst.

Smart developer: let’s make the label an 8 inch square so it won’t fit in any mug.

User: Folds square in half to fit into mug.

Huge waste of material on the label.

Since the labels are larger, the boxes for those tea bags will need to be larger too. That incurs in additional waste of material and storage space.

People working in markets selling those tea bags will complain. Now their boxes don’t fit in the aisle alongside boxes with tea bags of other brands.

Customers will find it clunky and convoluted. Some will understand why the dev did it, and get angry - because from their PoV it’ll sound like the dev is saying “I assume that you’re a muppet, unable to distinguish the label from the bag”.

And some will still do like others said: use a larger pot, fold the label, etc. Defeating the purpose of the change.

There are plenty situations where you can be smart. This is not one of them, stick to standards and document it properly. “This is the bag, it goes in. This is the label, it goes out.”

(Not that it changes much for me. I’m still ripping the tea bag apart and mixing the contents with my yerba mate. Unexpected use case!)

mcherm , to nostupidquestions in Why are states allowed to sue each other?
@mcherm@lemmy.world avatar

If two states disagree, what alternative would you suggest? “Flip a coin and move on” or “Just give in to the other side” are solutions that are likely to be abused: one rogue state can wreck havoc by making unreasonable demands. Going to war over it seems worse than spending millions in court. The courts ARE our inexpensive, fair way of resolving disputes (even if they aren’t as inexpensive as we might like).

originalfrozenbanana ,

Yeah the argument here should not be “why are they allowed to sue each other at all,” it should be “why did my elected representatives waste our money over this stupid shit?”

sbv , to asklemmy in Do you know alternative scripts for your language? If so, can you talk about them?

I hadn’t heard about them until now. Here’s a Wikipedia article.

As a parent teaching kids to read, I’d love an alphabet that didn’t have the stupid ambiguities of current English. Trying to explain to a kid that “c” can make a few different sounds is a pain in the butt.

Nemo ,

It makes one sound followed by E or I and the other the rest of the time. Mostly.

frightful_hobgoblin ,

The writing system has its flaws too.

  • I and l look the same.
  • 0 and O look the same.
  • Why are their two totally different cases? Q looks nothing like q and the distinction serves no communicative purpose
  • Similarly, why is there printed letters and joined-up letters – two totally different ways of writing?
  • Loops are sometimes merely stylistic, but some letters like say b has a loop that is essential to it.
  • b and d are mirror-images, and this confuses some children
  • "dot your I-s and cross your T-s" – the pen has to be lifted from the page to do this, so people don’t always bother.

Some of these might sound like non-issues to grown-ups, but they’re hard for children.

PindoLek24 , to asklemmy in Do you approve sex work? Why or why not?

Why not? People have less and less other jobs to do. From stories of courtesans realise that life forced them to do it. So that we understand each other - if you are “bitching”, do it not on the side, but officially - because then the other party suffers - in false version.

Apytele , to asklemmy in Atheists of Lemmy, is your partner religious?

Honestly we balance each other really well and have some really interesting discussions but I should be clear that it looks like this more than anything else:

It’s kinda like the deism vs theism debate in the final Space Odyssey; at least one god vs no more than one god.

@solidgrue@lemmy.world avatar

Sometimes I add mashed potato to it and then I deep fry scoops of it to put on my ice cream. Its like a Thai version of latkes.

I also mix it with whiskey, variously bourbon or maple whiskey, maybe white dog, and use it for eye drops.

Or you can put it in a food dehydrator to dry it out and make a powder of it so you can snort it.

This is the correct answer.

Speaking as a user (I’m not a programmer even if I’m often loafing around here):

Left is not “optimistic” but “assumptive” - blame the dev and the user.
Right is not “pessimistic” but “diligent” - blame the user.

But the worst type doesn’t appear in this pic: they’d put a ball of chicken wire around the label so it’s physically impossible to put it in the hot water.

Got_Bent , to lemmyshitpost in Someone has been pedaling Viagra at the bingo hall

There was a gay bar not to far from me that used to do drag queen bingo brunch, so this doesn’t seem too far off a stretch, though I’d suspect our delightful Texas State government would find reason to criminalize it were somebody to try doing it here.

I never got around to going to the drag queen bingo brunch, so I don’t know if it was for cash. Knowing how Texas works, it was probably for low value prizes.

Edit: Those crazy Canadians were playing erotic bingo fourteen years ago.

Headingley hotel

Woof. Lived in MB for 3 years. Erotic bingo in Headingley was not something I needed to know existed

Got_Bent ,

Can’t really get a solid grasp of the place via search. Can you explain?

Track_Shovel OP ,

Small town outside of Winnipeg. Nice, but like Winnipeg has some interesting denizens and some scuzzy hotels (of which the Headingley Hotel is one of them)

You’re lucky, In Baltimore a great club called the Pink Hippo used to do gay bingo Wednesdays…it was amazing and if you called bingo incorrectly you got to wear a dunce hat… it was bedazzled.

The only thing I hate is how sometimes a document compiles perfectly fine on one machine only to utterly fail on another. On the two machines were I had this happen I have Texlive installed so that I wouldn’t have to look up missing packages. Maybe this is a version mismatch error? I have no clue.

Also I had an old document I wanted to compile which used a ‘\begin{justifying}’ tag. I can’t get that tag to work anymore and had to replace it with just ‘\justifying’
