Run run, fast as you can…

Whelp, gonna have that song stuck in my head for days.

In the US, $ comes before a number, and ¢ comes after. It helps differentiate them at a glance. $1.50 or 75¢ You only use one symbol at a time.

Not all that many uses for the ¢ left these days, I suppose.

Certain ants are pretty distinct. Thatch ants spray formic acid as a defense, and will have a sour smell (and taste, or so I’ve been told). Odoriferous house ants are named so for obvious reason, and smell (to me) like pen ink. Assuming they taste terrible, but I dunno anyone who’s tasted one.

Also, for what it’s worth, my entomologist father refers to the thread’s subject as “sow bugs”, so that’s how I know them, but pill bugs and rolly polly are common here.

In the winter, they are. English cukes you might find hothouse.

I was gonna say I think I liked reddit more before the digg folks came. Maybe Lemmy is right where it should be.

Tried to order pizza but it got Noided

That’s a wild time to invest in phone booths!

Real answer is dialup modem speeds. Doubled our download (in my case, from 10 minutes per mb to 5 minutes!)

Wait, so you do or do not remember the excitement of going from 14.4 to 33.6 for dialup?

Places I worked when I was younger, it was just one of the jobs of the courtesy clerks, along with bagging and filling some things to the shelf. Even in a really busy store, I think there’d be a ton of wasted time if someone was doing only carts.

I like the idea that there’s some shift that’s just getting carts all day.

“Sorry, Johnson, people haven’t left enough carts out lately. We’re letting you go.”

Using “bis” for toilets is funny, like you’re grinding a raid at the hardware store hoping for an epic toilet drop.

Spotify supports this already (between any devices you’re logged into), and it’s suuuuuuuuuuuper nice. This is gonna be an excellent QoL upgrade.

If you shop at a chain megacorp store, there’s probably like 10 layers of people you’d have to pass the info up to, which seems unlikely. Maybe better looking for customer feedback forms in person or online.

If you shop at a local independent, they either don’t do this sort of charity thing, or do it much more directly (as in the money doesn’t even flow through their own account) with a local charity or food bank, that sort of thing.

On a related note, does anyone know of cases with a headphone jack built into it? It seems like an obvious thing to make, but I’ve only seen them mentioned for iPhone.

The main thing for me is simply that the audio connector doesn’t pull out nearly as easily as USB-c. Secondary is the fact that I prefer things that don’t need to be charged.

I use wireless buds at work, but whenever I’m home, I prefer to use wired headphones. It’s definitely a different strokes for different folks situation.

Chicken just isn’t gonna need to be that precise. It’s not an ingredient that mixes with others in that way. That being said, chicken is an item that most recipes would mention by weight. Nobody is going to actually weigh out the chicken; they’ll just go with a close measurement, or use potentially use the packaging it came in for reference.

Pretty sure the lens flare was just added in photoshop. As far as the “tele lens” goes, I think that’s just a semantics thing. I agree that shooting straight into the sun like that would make it impossible to get that exposure.

I’m curious what game. My feeling is it must be something with a constantly changing economy?

Curious what would have happened if you just stopped at $30 up (also remember, $ before the number; ¢ after)

Was the $30 paid into your account, or in the form of a check or something?
