Lmao, fair enough!

Why the fuck you roasting a turkey upside down? You want nice crispy golden skin on the back and gooey white skin on the actual edible parts?

I mean we use US customary and metric too, but US customary measurements aren’t always the same as Imperial.
1 US pint = 16 US fluid ounces 1 British pint = 20 British fluid ounces But wait! 1 British pint = 19.2 US fluid ounces
Would you like to know more? Probably not, but anyways: …wikipedia.org/…/Comparison_of_the_imperial_and_U…

This is the way. The butts sacrifice themselves for the greater good.

Businesses don’t have the power to do that if we collectively tell them no. But that being said, how DO you split up a 10-day week keeping the same basic ratio of “weekend” days?
Three weekdays, followed by a single “weekend” day or mid-week break, then four weekdays followed by a two-day weekend?
- Comment on Its most common use case is interrupting games 1 year ago:
It’s a hell of a lot easier to disable than it is to enable, especially if you’re not disabled. It’s a minor inconvenience once for us, but enabling it could be exceedingly difficult to overcome for someone else.
- Comment on The Sacred Hole 1 year ago:
To be clear, the text in the bottom half of this meme is 100% accurate, though rarely, if ever, spoken out loud. When you approached The Hole, you’d briefly exchange glances with the other diggers, they’d nod, silently acknowledging a new ally and, without a word, affirming “you know what to do.”

Not sure why you were downvoted, this a quality comment with academic sources.

Just like anything, they should be used according to directions and in moderation. I rarely take them as well, but they are safe and effective when used as directed or prescribed by your doctor.
- Comment on Seek relief 1 year ago:
Your distinction is correct, but I simply listed NSAIDs as an example, not an exhaustive list of pain relievers. You also make assumptions on “the normal headache pill” based on your locale. In the US paracetamol/acetaminophen/Tylenol is very common, but so is ibuprofen/Advil, naproxen sodium/Aleve, and aspirin/Bayer. In fact, I’d argue ibuprofen is far more popular here based on how much larger the ibuprofen section is compared to acetaminophen in pharmacies. Granted acetaminophen is a bit more common in compound OTC meds like cold and flu medicines.
That being said, paracetamol functions extremely similarly to NSAIDs, but it’s not anti-inflammatory, and works on the nervous system only, whereas NSAIDs affect the brain and body as well.
- Comment on I love that SNW kept that detail in the uniform 1 year ago:
I’d wager you’re right, the lines to the right of the deltas flex with the uniform, so they may have used a metallic puff ink screen printed on.
- Comment on Seek relief 1 year ago:
There’s a VERY big difference between “pain relievers”, NSAIDs, and “pain killers” which are opioids. NSAIDs are effective and safe if used properly.
- Comment on Seek relief 1 year ago:
And acetaminophen is brutal on your liver if you take it often.
- Comment on DoorDash now warns you that your food might get cold if you don’t tip 1 year ago:
I did that. There were no options, just a dialogue saying they had refunded me a couple dollars for a price mismatch. But no button to report an issue on the app or web, no chat, no email or phone number. Just a Contact Us form that I filled out and submitted with all the information nearly a month ago, and no one from GrubHub has reached out. I finally just did a chargeback a couple days ago.
- Comment on DoorDash now warns you that your food might get cold if you don’t tip 1 year ago:
Yeah, let me know how to get GrubHub to even respond to a support request for an order that never arrived, much less refund me and then you can tell me GrubHub is better. I had an order that was never delivered on Sept 23 and GrubHub has still not responded to or refunded me. At least with Doordash or UberEats I can get issues with my order addressed almost immediately.
- Comment on Only thing getting developed is a headache 1 year ago:
Eventually, but it starts with Googling and trying a bunch of other example code and failing miserably.
- Comment on October 13 - 15, 2023 - Weekend Box Office (Estimates) 1 year ago:
Gonna blame its marketing, because this is totally up my alley but it’s one of maybe three films in this list I’ve never heard of.
- Comment on “Most notorious” illegal shadow library sued by textbook publishers [Updated] 1 year ago:
What part of buying a textbook for $250 then selling it back in like-new condition to the same retailer for $20 three months later is bad for the consumer?
- Comment on Lemmy is popular nowadays, yet is losing its active users 1 year ago:
Lemmy is a much closer analog to Reddit than Mastodon is for Twitter. While Mastodon has similar basic functionality to Twitter, it lacks a lot of the features that make it easy to find new content and new people to follow.
Pair that with some very polished third-party mobile reddit apps with large, loyal followings transitioning to Lemmy and it became way easier to abandon reddit for Lemmy than it was to leave Twitter for Mastodon. I’m a huge open source supporter, but the average user doesn’t care about FOSS or open source software. They want something that looks nice and just works.
