Correct, which is why it should be pronounced just like the word that was meant to be typed, only replacing the “o” with a “p” sound. It wasn’t that hard to figure out when it became a thing, people just like word drama.

And the comments are worse!! Someone will ask a simple question and get back three paragraphs of perfectly structured nothing that somehow says less than “idk man” would have.

You would have loved Usenet in the 90s. That’s how a lot of people are.

And I presume popped up when opened. Then that suggests contamination prior to sealing, which is a little worse problem than damage during shipping or a bad sealing.

Might have had one of those pop up buttons to show the seal is broken. Ideally a stocker would see it, or the customer when selecting it, but I wonder how many people look that closely.

Yes, but there are far easier and cheaper ways to go. Dude must have just read about using things from space to control sunlight input and thought he’s such a genius surely he can figure it out. I guess he skipped over all the debunking that such ideas get.

And crucially, once we jump on the geoengineering train, we better not stop. It will only slow things and buy more time, but if we stop after beginning, the spike will be catastrophic (probably, there’s still so much we learn, but it won’t be a solution). But we will go that route, because economic health is far more important than anything else, and never plateaus by its very nature. There must be growth, or it all crashes down.

Shorting isn’t the problem as much as metal against metal bending things. Those contacts are fragile. Plastic or wood and being gentle won’t hurt anything.

As a Mbin user, appreciate him being in the right place at the right time, even if his coding wasn’t fully “ready” for the sudden task and he couldn’t continue the work himself. That he made it open source for others to take and run with made a huge difference. Glad he’s doing okay.

Whole milk will go bad very quickly, especially once opened and if not kept below a certain temperature. 2% lasts a lot longer. Also changing the location in the refrigerator makes a huge difference, the door area is the warmest part. If you haven’t had an issue before, then it could be that at some point in handling from the store or you the milk was allowed to warm a bit too much. Again, for whole milk it doesn’t take a lot, and any perishables from Walmart is taking a risk vs. other groceries. Find a store that gets local farm stuff if possible, and try 2%, it’s possible to wean off that sweet whole and buy some time and health.

Maybe not. Any idea when it became a thing online? It seemed to coincide with when AI images started to get a lot better (and thus used a lot more), and that could have been a few years ago, or this year, depending on your standard of “better”.

“Slop” ought to be another word that’s gained popularity in use. I’m still having trouble with it, mainly because I think it’s overused a lot in short insults and dismissals of things. Not aimed at you here, at least you define WHY you consider it in that category. I’m talking more the “AI slop” that mirrors the “fake news” or “git gud” or any other reply that avoids actual discussion and screams “I hate this, but have nothing more to contribute”.

They probably could if that was the command. However Tony wanted to keep what had happened in the five years since the snap so he didn’t lose his daughter, so the second snap couldn’t be to put things back like it never happened.

A fine that’s more than what a truck rental would have cost is probably appropriate. Plus the cost of any damage found.

I’ve seen it in both forms online and in chat, but I’m also old so it might be a depreciated form. I’m a walking internet archive.

Places would change up and down in tone and attitude since the days of Usenet, BBSes, and FidoNet. It’s not the platform, it’s the people. How the world is in RL affects how people talk online, and the world changes over time.

The simpler answer may be that your feed has changed some since you started and you’re pulling in discussions that have a different vibe than when you started. Just as you can grow your feed by browsing around, you can cull certain places that tend to be darker by blocking people or instances.

Audio book is my preferred, I can’t do all the names in my head. Or Jess of the Shire’s fabulous 30 minute retelling on a whiteboard, really impressive.

Also Melkor’s chaotic role in Eru Iluvatar’s grand song.

Which is technically correct, since you are answering “What is [the answer]?”

Looks like Wikipedia decided to let the users battle it out since they have both listed. Both the right and the wrong way.

My opinion, I always use a hard F.

Just to clarify - so you don’t believe in any of the supernatural stuff and are just about the better teachings of Jesus? Aka a Jefferson bible take?

A nitpick, none of the gospel writers were eyewitnesses, the documents were written long after Jesus was gone. They are interpretations of stories passed down, and all four gospels have different takes on events. So the phrase “gospel truth” is very ironic in its definition.
