  • How do you pronounce in words the following two references to money: "6½d" and "6s. 6d." from a 1904 text?

  • You run into this a little bit with light fixtures too, weirdly enough. Because modern indoor lighting is descended from gas lighting, it was normal for people to upgrade old gas systems to electric by using the pipes as conduit. So now, if you need a replacement bit to fix your table lamp from Walmart, they're measured in a mostly obsolete plumbing standard, Iron Pipe Size.

  • Lemmings over 30 who try to stay active, what are you doing to accommodate for your incredibly decrepit bodies to avoid boo-boos?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I dislocated my knee in high school, couldn't afford to go to a doctor, haven't been able to walk right since.

  • What would you do if you found out someone was drawing hentai of you with very exaggerated features?

    Jump

  • Demand royalties?

  • Flock Cameras are PUBLIC DOMAIN in Washington state. You can file a FOIA for your Flock data. Now police say that citizens getting public docs are now a "privacy concern".

  • You just gotta get creative. What if we had a lotto system, where every day one person gets a million bucks, and fifty people get to do forced labor for the rest of their life? We wouldn't need surveillance, we'd just have to tell them we're watching and let the RNG do all the work instead.

  • Whats your hot take on something that doesnt matter at all?

    Jump

  • I do that too, and I blame Neopets.

  • Nothing’s new bloatware includes Facebook services that can’t be uninstalled

  • Yeah, I'm still using my Samsung Note 8, haha

  • Wild, maybe its because I'm using an ancient phone. It gives me an uninstall option, but it doesn't uninstall it.

  • Can it be uninstalled, or just "uninstalled"? I'm concerned it's going to be like andoid, where it gives you the option to "uninstall" chrome, but it just reverts it to the factory image and leaves a gaping hole in your security.

  • MSG is my secret weapon for making my cooking better than his mother's.

  • Leave your mark

  • To elaborate further, your butthole is what's called a "sphincter", which is a ring-shaped muscle. You've got a few in your body, and they mostly keep fluids where they're supposed to be. As long as you don't damage the muscle, you don't have problems.

    Now, opiates on the other hand, are a different story and will absolutely fuck up your poop. I worked at a junkie hotel once and found a turd the size of my foot in the stairway once.

  • I was one of them when I was a kid. There were many times the only food I got was the free lunch provided at school, and I helped my mother scavenge dumpsters behind grocery stores for food. I'm fat now because it's the most shelf-stable and accessible calorie reserve available, and with the looming cuts, I'm glad it's there for me. This guy doesn't know jack about shit.

  • To be fair, the sidebar itself suggests copying the content over if they're paywalled. It's nuts that you've highlighted that, and then complained about a rephrasing of what it says.

  • Locked

    Jump

  • And they're straignt up delusional about the amount of software that works on Linux. There is no FOSS equivalent to Wilcom, for example. It's like how they claim GIMP is the same as Photoshop, but I've used both and GIMP is absolute ass in comparison.

  • why do so many people think the brain is somehow totally isolated from the body?

    Jump

  • I have a tumor in my thalamus. I've also survived a TBI with subarachnoid hemorrhage, and I have bone spurs compressing my spinal cord. I get random spells where I get super dizzy, dripping sweat, my heart rate skyrockets, my vision starts going dark around the edges, and I feel like I need to sit down before I fall down.

    I'm struggling to find work from home because driving with presyncope is dangerous. My inlaws think it's just an excuse to be lazy and siphon money off my partner.

  • A computer can never be held accountable. Therefore computers are a valuable tool for law enforcement and the ruling class.

  • OH. I was reading it as brown=bears, rainbow=pride, pink=lesbian, pink/white/blue=trans, and purple= either bi or ace

  • One day, you wake up finding out that a person you cared about seemingly vanished, and there are no traces of them; Would you trust your memories, or would you think you are hallucinating?

    Jump

  • It would depend on the person for me. Like, I've got family I abstractly care about, but they're not a very present part of my life, and they could probably vanish without me even noticing.

    Then on the other end, completely removing all trace of my partner would be very noticible and distressing.

  • Is 16 and 19 really that bad?

    Jump

  • Yeah, my first boyfriend had been jumped up two grades, so I was 16 and he was 14. It never went beyond awkward kissing in the alley after class tho.
