• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨are "brush" and "blush" really pronounced differently? i pronounce them the same.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  R and L are what are known as liquid consonants.

  They can be difficult to distinguish to the untrained ear (i.e., non-native speakers).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sun God⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  And if I work from home.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sun God⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Proof that light is a particle and not a wave?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every package you receive has the chance of being a bomb⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If you want to die, walk across the street. You’ll have a much better chance than whatever you’re dreaming up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨me want cookie⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is how many years old? Not sure why it’s being treated like news.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨smort⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Tying intelligence to IQ seems like the left side to me. I’m still in the middle 🤔

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fuckers are like roaches - it seems they always spawn when the environment is bad enough⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Same shirt, different hat.

  You think it’s actually going to go to court and have a verdict?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FTC investigates “tech censorship,” says it’s un-American and may be illegal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I doubt it. They could just sensor based on location.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BlackBerry's iconic keyboard patent has expired⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What is this? A keyboard for ants?!?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Tesseract Lemmy app shows a news source ranking from MBFC⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As a left-leaning Canadian, this seems crazy to me. There’s not even a place for me on this chart.

  It’s crazy how normalized right-wing extremism is. Well, it doesn’t explain the state of things in the US, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Woden is “Odin” in English (which did autocorrect for me).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Government’s Computing Experts Say They Are Terrified | Four IT professionals lay out just how destructive Elon Musk’s incursion into the U.S. government could be.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mexico asks Google to reject U.S. renaming of the Gulf of Mexico.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It sounds like their is only one English language version of Maps, so Canada, UK, etc. will also change.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Joe Biden issues 'full and unconditional' pardon for son⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ya, next thing you know they’ll pardon Charles Kushner and make him ambasssador.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anotha one⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Haha. Next time!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anotha one⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would guess that they are volume markers for their favourite pots.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DOJ to ask judge to force Google to sell off Chrome, Bloomberg reports⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think this is something even Elon Musk could get behind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Toast⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, not a myth just a misremembering/misassocation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Awkward⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Use rsync and only upload the files that have changed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trying to reverse climate change won’t save us, scientists warn⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait, you’re telling me that cooling the planet won’t bring back destroyed homes? I don’t believe you.

  Oh boy. I don’t think you understand how bad it’s gonna be. It’s entire ecosystems that are being destroyed. You can’t just rebuild them. Some ecosystems like rainforests or coral reefs are a lot more sensitive to temperature fluctuations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SPOOPY TARDIGRADE⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A costume that will last for years - even in the vacuum of space.

  And Thunderbird for the email portion. Yes, web and email were in the same application.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Peter Todd in hiding after being “unmasked” as bitcoin creator⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t believe it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that there's a better index than the BMI to measure obesity called the Body Roundness Index⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  BMI is the best measure we have for statistical purposes (i.e., a population) because it’s been around for 50(?) years and is what is often used in studies, so you can compare one study to another using BMI.

  It’s also not terrible for a population because it averages out. But for an individual it is definitely not a good measure because there are way too many other variables that matter.

  The warning icon should be a purple monkey.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sonic & Knuckles celebrates 30th Anniversary⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I played so much Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

  Also quite a bit of Sonic 1 & Knuckles. i.e., the blue spheres game.
