The food code should probably just be amended. It pretty generically says that you can’t have “nonnutritive” stuff inside of it, unless that stuff is safe to consume. That’s a pretty reasonable thing, but it should probably be tweaked for nonnutritive stuff that is easy to spot and less likely to be mistaken for food.
We all assume people are at least as smart as we think we are but honestly they aren’t. It’s scary how many stupid people there are even if you are at the lower part of the average. Millions… It’s always the lowest common denominator that the world ends up being built for it seems and that means it’s not required for millions above that…
Carrying a Google search for “Do vaccines cause autism?” with 9 links to scientific studies crossed out and an opinion article on Fox News circled and highlighted. Perhaps a Bible still in its shrinkwrap.
Whatever costume you choose this Halloween, make sure to wash it with Torgo’s Executive Powder. Torgo’s Executive Powder; when your costumes stinks like a Omicronian’s feet, only trust Torgo’s Executive Powder.
This reminded me of something. If you ordered diapers from Amazon between 2019-2021 and you lived in the Boston area South of the Charles down to Scituate and the sort labels were placed directly over the baby’s face… That was me. I was amusing myself.
TBH I’m not against reposting content from reddit, we need more content here… content is content. I would prefer if people were more clear that they’re not the OP though!
Agreed, uninstall one of them and don’t look back. I have moments I need some tech reference that I saved over the years on Reddit, but I don’t go looking for new content.
Reddit on my phone was great. Until they blocked third party apps. Apollo was cleaner, faster and better than even old.reddit. And nu reddit on the web is slow and bloated just like their first party app. Besides, why should I pull out my laptop or sit down on my PC to access Reddit or Lemmy for that matter?
Angels attacked a friend of mine for more than 90 minutes, taking off and eating part of her legs, arms, breast and face. The paramedics that eventually brought her to the hospital were so traumatized they still have not returned to work. My friend has had 11 reconstructive surgeries so far.
Ah yes, dogs made to hunt and maim humans hurt your friend, so all dogs are bad as a consequence.
I’m truly sorry for what happened to your friend, but people are 100% responsible for their pets. Be not angry at the dogs, but the person that owned them.
When brain-computer interface finally became reality, right holders and streaming companies will require you to hook in and let them wipe the memory of you watching the movie whenever they cancel your “purchase” like this.
You can watch them for the first time again on the new streaming app which yanked the movies from the previous streaming app (and your brain) for only $29.99/mo!
It’s funny you say that because I have some neurological conditions that give me memory issues and about every 3 years sometimes shows are almost new to me. I might remember some moments, but a lot of it is just gone. I rewatch Stargate SG1, all 10 seasons like it’s almost new every three years and it’s really the silver lining to a crappy problem.
Broadly, Idiopathic inflammatory-demyelinating disease, along with childhood head trauma that left me with things like aphasia and visual snow, and the effects of long term chronic pain from severe rheumatoid arthritis. CPTSD plays a role as well.
There are quite a few things I’d love to experience for the first time again.
I don’t buy digital copies when I have a choice. Easy for movies but Steam kinda fucked that up for games. I was never more disappointed than the time I bought a game box and all it contained was a code to get a digital copy. Haven’t had a problem with Steam… yet. It’s only a matter of time though.
But as good as that sounds in theory, I would rather keep my memories untampered. Brains are really bad at actually remembering things as they were at the time when they were remembered, any tampering might as well go unnoticed. I would rather not experience my favorite media for the first time again and also not risk getting my entire personality rewritten because of a bug or even worse - deliberate action.
Steam came to my mind with this situation as well. I assume the outcry would be loud if this happened there. But it gives another good reason to shift habits.
I actually look forward to parties where people delete their memory of certain media, in order to enjoy it for the first time, maybe it’s not even delete but suppress the memory so that people can compare their first first time to their second first time.
It’s quite simple really. The order is “small to big”. You start with the smallest unit, in this case the day. Then follows the next largest unit, the month, and finally the year. Basically the same as in the top picture, but in reverse order.
Modern engineers: we need to make sure it breaks at approximately 36 months to ensure low ability to claim warranty while also ensuring the customer believes it could have been a fluke.
Or, roughly translated into engineer speak…”anyone can build an aqueduct, it takes skill to build an aqueduct using the minimum amount of material required”.
It depends on the way you think about it. When designing, I want all my parts (other than user replaceable wear components) to fail at the same time. That means nothing is the weakest link, failing earlier than the design otherwise could handle.
I will genuinely celebrate if he faces the kind of sentence a regular poor like me would for the same charge. I would love to have even some thin sliver of faith restored in this country’s legal system.
Because the a in woman is pronounced the same way the e in women is pronounced…
Probably that was originally introduced by some medieval swinger society, so they could say that they are faithful to their women and technically not be lying about it. When the church figured out they introduced the o as an i thing.
i always eas taught the plural to be pronounced as “wi-men” I also cannot remember any english TV show or so to talk about wimin, so where the second ibis explicit as an i and distinguishable from an e
Say the word “though” in your head. Then add a “t” to it. Would you really argue that “though” and “thought” are pronounced the same simply because they’re the same spelling save for a final “t”?
The easiest “rule” is that the creator can decide how to pronounce and spell it lol. Taking English rules that don’t even apply 100% of the time to its own words and trying to hold made-up words to the same standards just sounds silly to me haha
Nobody made english, nor is a language static. It is an everchanging result of millions of people using and evolving it.
A language that doesn’t change is dead, like latin is. So any rule of how something is supposed to be in a language is subject to time and place, but never absolute.
That’s my point. If everyone pronounces a word a certain way, THAT is its correct pronunciation. The first person to say a thing doesn’t get to tell everyone else they’re wrong.
Everyone started using the word “literally” to mean figuratively, so the official definition changed to mean either or.
Everyone says GIF similar to gift, then that’s the proper pronunciation. Creator has no say.
There are so many examples in this thread alone as to why this rule doesn’t work.
SCUBA: the U is for “underwater” and the A is for “apparatus”. We don’t pronounce it “SC-uh-B-ahhh”.
JPEG: The P is for “photographic”. We don’t pronounce it “JayFeg”.
LASER: The E is for “emission”. We don’t pronounce it “Lay-See-R”.
RADAR: The second A is for “And” (lol). We don’t pronounce it “Ray-Day-R”.
The easiest “rule” is just the guy who made it up can dictate how they want it spelled and to pronounce. The word is made up anyway, and isn’t subject to rules that actual English words have been subjected to for however long the language evolved.
The guy that came up with with the acronym for unidentified flying object also wrote that it should pronounced you-fo but everyone spells it out because that is less confusing. So there is an example of the creator being ignored.
I’m sorry, but he waited 26 years to tell everyone how it’s pronounced… at this point you can go with the majority, or stick with however you want to pronounce it.
