If I wanted that, I'd use the hand-held shower head.

Knock-offs include: Steamed Clams and the Albany-exclusive Steamed Hams.

Even if all the original copypasta were true, they'd still be more useful and less harmful than billionaires. So if you still need something to throw rocks at...

Mississippi has many drive through daiquiris bars also.

Looks like we just found another piece of the puzzle. Thanks for checking on that! I didn't know Mississippi also had them, but it's all making sense now.

I love your detailed take on this! You sound like a pb&J connoisseur and I am honored to have received some of your wisdom. I know a nice local place where I can get some locally-made apple butter, so I know what I'll be trying next.

This is a really good question. I suspect the color in the image has been enhanced. I've been trying to find a scientific reason that the clouds could appear blue, but haven't found anything conclusive.

However, I did find a NASA page with raw images of Jupiter.

Here's a raw image:

Here's an image that's been color-enhanced:

It's not uncommon for space images to be color-enhanced. On the one hand, it may feel less authentic. On the other hand, the visible light levels in space may be insufficient for our expectations and uses anyway. Although I don't know the origin of the picture at the top of this page, I know that it's common practice for space photos to be enhanced. In fact they're often taken in non-visible spectrums and fully converted to something humans can see and comprehend. Ever see detailed, colorful photos of galaxies? They were probably taken in X-ray and colorized in processing. Cool as it would be, you wouldn't see those colors in real life.

It might be. I'm in the US, and it seems to be the default here.

Cost to dispose of it is greater than zero.

I was looking for a comment mentioning this. If it's a rural area, the local waste management facility might take a trek to get to. If you have to make multiple trips, or rent/hire a vehicle to get rid of something (like having to tow an old car), the time and cost can add up.

So if it's not accepted with a typical trash pick-up, it's still gotta be somewhere, even if you don't want it anymore. Keeping it on your own property is at least more ethical than dumping it in the woods somewhere (though you'll find plenty of that in some areas, too.)

Oooh, I wouldn't have thought about that. I'm gonna have to try it.

Well yeah. This is Unpopular Opinion. We're expected to disagree.

I'm starting to think of writing down the specific things job recruiters tell me, and bringing it to the interview. The last recruiter that reached out (and succeeded in hiring me) told me things that didn't end up being true. When I got hired and was told contradictory information, the company said, "Oh, that is still true, but this particular case is an exception. We can get you a different case where that is true," and then they didn't get back to me for weeks. In that time, I'd applied, interviewed, and accepted a job elsewhere. Fuck lying employers.

I was hoping this post would bring new combination ideas. Do you have a particular cocoa spread you like to use?

I have no opinion on this, but I know someone else who does:

I don't know much about Mississippi, but I know that in neighboring Louisiana, there are drive-through daiquiri places.

the fine print of the law says that the open container law is not applicable to containers with frozen alcoholic beverage where the lid is intact and no straw is protruding through the lid.

In most cases, daiquiris adhere to the “tape rule.” Most daiquiri shops will put a piece of tape over the straw hold on the lid. If this tape is removed or broken then the drink is considered an open container.

So a piece of tape counts as a "seal." They're not even trying.

Ugh, the "swipe" is the worst feature for every company to jump on. I get paralyzed between, "What if they just took a bad picture? I don't know enough about them and dismissing them for a bad photo could mean missing out," and "What if I'm swiping right on a creep and don't realize it? Now they'll know my picture, my name, where I live, and they'll think I'm definitely interested."

I haven't used it in a couple years, but I did meet my current boyfriend on OK Cupid. I'm poly, and I met my girlfriend last year on a queer dating/social app called Lex. The cool thing with Lex is that it's text-based, originally modeled off of old newspaper classified ads. You get to know people through them voicing their thoughts and asking original questions. No pressure to "swipe or get off the pot," you can get to know someone through comments on posts before sending a message. It's a smaller community (as expected for queer folk) so I don't know how popular it is outside of highly populated areas. It's not for everyone, but if you're in the LGBTQ+ community and sick of being forced to make snap-judgements about strangers who might end up being a massive part of your life, it's a relief.

I know you don't want to hear "it depends," but there is no one rule that would cover all art. Some art is made to communicate specific ideas. Some art is made simply out of self-expression, without intent for any particular audience. Both are valid.

If I doodle in my notebook, it's for the artist (me.) However, I also draw and paint to communicate specific emotions. I made a painting while listening to "September" by Earth, Wind and Fire, with the intent to capture the energy and joy the song sends through me. I don't expect anyone to immediately connect the image with the specific song, but since it's a lively concert scene, my hope is that the emotion that inspired the art comes across to an audience.

Sometimes I'll make something more abstract, intentionally left open to interpretation. I may have my own thoughts about such pieces, but ultimately I want the viewer to find their own meaning.

In reality, everything is up to the audience. There will always be people who interpret things in their own way, independent of the artist's intentions. We can't control what others will think, but learning to tolerate and/or accept people who "don't get it" is a stage all artists have to go through. I've come to accept that there is no one perfect mode of communication, so if I intend to communicate something specific, it's on me as the artist to put effort into making that message clear.

Rent costs half a month's pay, so that checks out.

Ugh, I just looked it up and also couldn't find anything. The first hit on DDG is about weather. The rest of the results are equally irrelevant.

I don't know if this will work, but I know I've seen people "@" each other on here before, so... I'll try a shot in the dark - @Mrkawfee@lemmy.world , curious minds need resources!

(Sorry Davel, if I pinged you. I saw you refer to the technique too and typed your username instead of the thread's OP.)

The only one we have left is grim.
