  Curie looks tired. If I’m gonna embarrass myself with anyone anyway, I’ll invite her and we’ll have a relaxing cup of herb tea at least.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you encountered this?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolute madness.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you encountered this?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Asterisk: there is such a thing as “minimum wage for tipped workers”, which is lower than the normal minimum wage. At least in some provinces.

  For instance, in Quebec, the normal minimum wage is $16.10 per hour, but for tipped workers, it’s $12.90$.

  And yes, my reaction to this is also “what the fuck”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you encountered this?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t know a transaction could be updated after the fact. That’s wild.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you encountered this?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You WRITE the tip amount on the receipt? How does the payment terminal know how much to take?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨13 skeletons⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Granted. The wish spell has never existed, so you can’t use it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨13 skeletons⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Isn’t that killing the thief rogue subclass’s use magic device ability?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨13 skeletons⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm, that works, but only for spells in your class list. That won’t allow you to cast legend lore as a wizard, for instance

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Eksbawks⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I hope we can reach the point where everything is convenient to switch to whatever you preference/physical controller is in every game.

  Maybe one day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Eksbawks⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I like their button layout better though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨13 skeletons⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, that’s the risky use of Wish though. It comes with a chance of losing the spell forever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Eksbawks⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Xbox has influenced PC gaming too much for that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨13 skeletons⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wish, but for emulating other spells. Literally anything I want, of 8th level or lower, as if it was already prepared? So handy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨8BitDo Pro 3 Bluetooth announced with swappable magnetic ABXY⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, I see. A pity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨8BitDo Pro 3 Bluetooth announced with swappable magnetic ABXY⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I loved my Switch 1 pro controller until the L/R/ZL/ZR buttons started losing reliability. They wouldn’t register unless I pressed really hard, or would cut when I was trying to hold them pressed. I imagine the new one has similar issues.

  But wait your say the Switch 2 one has analog triggers now? Ugh. I hate analog triggers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨8BitDo Pro 3 Bluetooth announced with swappable magnetic ABXY⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What are those L2/R2 buttons like when you switch their mode?

  Do they resemble what we had on PS2 (feels like just a button)?

  If so, I’m really interested. Damn gradual triggers do NOT work well with most games where you want precision for those button presses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My Take Home Pay⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks like a pretty low tax rate to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shhhhh⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You mean, beep when they’re finished?

  Many microwaves have a semi-hidden feature to mute all sounds. Usually involves long-pressing one of the number buttons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finally a map to show me⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d say it’s probably averaged from bra sizes sold by some company.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Investigation finds Bangladesh politician bought over 350 homes in UK⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Initially misread as “brought” and imagined someone squeezing houses in a briefcase

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any Lemmy/Mbin instances by women for women?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But like what even is a social media for women? I wasn’t aware the ones we currently have were for men

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't lemmy DMs compatible with mastodon?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oof, sounds like we really need a new, better put together version of the protocol. I wonder if the W3C would be good to do that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't lemmy DMs compatible with mastodon?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like the protocol needs an upgrade if people are doing funny stuff like that. No?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fucking leeches⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well okay if one tenant is renting the whole building it’s different.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fucking leeches⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For the SUM of your tenants’ rent to pay for your mortgage and most of the upkeep? Probably fair.

  For ONE tenant to cover the whole mortgage? Geez, that’s not nice, to put it softly.

  They will truly do anything not to admit the problem is cars

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Software engineering job openings hit five-year low?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is everyone using LinkedIn instead now?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Job related: Am I being stupid?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you looked into becoming a nurse practitioner? You sound like you might feel more fulfilled with more medical knowledge and a job in more of an expert role.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My favourite colour is Chuck Norris red - HTMHell⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What the fuck, HTML. I kinda like it in a perverse way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re not communist fight communities explicitly though. I haven’t joined any communist-themed communities. It’s just content that kinda bubbles up left and right.

  I COULD start avoiding everything “.ml”, but that sounds counter-productive.
