It’s a lemmy instance

The general thing to do is to peruse the menu to find what you want first to get that out of the way as the wait staff can be pretty quick when you first sit down. If the bread won’t distract you during, go for it. You just really want to get your order in when they come by as it could turn into a while before they come back.
They were probably taught something like that, but it became so corrupted that the entire reasoning was lost, leaving only an arbitrary wait time.

I already have one, but not for color tone. The ‘vintage’ is supposed to simulate candlelight, while daylight simulates the sun.

Por que los dos?
For my bedroom I have the ceiling light with two 13W(100W equiv.) for when I need the light and a 6W(6W equiv.) GE ‘vintage’ LED in a nightstand lamp for the rest of the time.

Especially when everyone is so cryptic about it. Instantly kills any desire for it.

Or just simplify it using a scale to get 1 gram per liters
226.8g (8oz.) / 208.19765L (55gal.) = ~1.08935g/L

Was it testing for something specific or was it just the standard panel you get with a physical? I only ask as that would be absurd unless it was specialized (like screening for a specific type of cancer), even for the US.
If it was just a regular blood panel, that is shady as hell and needs to be questioned.
To give reference, I just had my yearly and the three that they did would’ve been ~$200 without insurance; in the SF bay area, at that.
- Comment on Neocities deindexed from Bing 3 weeks ago:
Startpage seems nice. Uses sanitized results from Google and while it does have an AI feature, it’s opt-in (not out) and looks to also be sanitized.

I think they meant we’ll be nostalgic about it in a decade, not that his damage will take a decade to complete

I guess cachy wasn’t very catchy.

I think I read somewhere that we do have the technology to create a Dyson sphere but it would be too much of a massive undertaking time and labor-wise at our current level.

They also said they weren’t attracted, not that they couldn’t appreciate

They want consumers to have cheap low-resource systems so they are forced to use the cloud for storage and processing.

Also, one-offs aren’t really allowed outside of r&d. Everything has to have at least one piece in a batch go through testing, including destructive.

IIRC it’s because mitochondria have their DNA and keep it stored in a circular form similar to bacteria. I think also plants having chloroplasts, while animals have mitochondria adds more evidence, given that they are very similar structures.

My tactic is to have an ever-increasing CC list of the person’s boss, boss’s boss, the boss’s boss’s boss, etc…
I think I once got to the director level before the issue was solved.

Baseball could be called stickball, taking MLS so ‘soccer’ would need a new… Hey, that actually works out.

I’d say not as much sissies, more moronic cavemen who don’t know how not to hurt themselves or each other.

- Comment on Half of the US Now Requires You to Upload Your ID or Scan Your Face to Watch Porn 2 months ago:
For anyone curious, the privacy video is in their latest(?) blog post on their site. It should be viewable anywhere as it’s outside the NSFW area and before the 18+ notice.
(Just bear in mind that while it should be SFW, it is still under a porn-site’s domain.)

I’m waiting for huge spike of trojan-infected computers from people trying to bypass the law by torrenting their porn from unknown sources.

A lot of the responses for this account just seem a bit… off. It has me suspicious if it’s a chatbot or something.
