  • That's no horse...

  • Oh me too! I usually need to go at like 2:30

    It doesn't bother them that you're showing up more than 90 minutes late?

  • ...the u.s. eez–which is no more than 200nm from land...

    200 nanometres is 0.002 centimetres. That converts to 0.00078 inches (a bit over 3/4096", if you prefer fractional representation). Surely that can't be correct.

  • ...had* said to themselves...

  • Thank you for the corroboration. 👍

  • One Android Lemmy mobile client that I used before Voyager (I don't recall which: Sync? Jerboa? Raccoon? one of them, maybe) would, on long-press of hyperlinked text, pop-up a small text field wherein the targeted URI would display, and could be tapped to follow (or just tap away from the text field to dismiss it).

    It was so very useful being able to see the destination of a link without having to follow it to find out where it pointed.

  • Indeed! Apparently I too have unwittingly been growing my collection since 1991. Of course back then we just called it "buying my music".

    I would show it off to that community but it's just stacked in cardboard boxes (alphabetically, I'm not an animal), not nicely curated and organized and dusted weekly in pride of place. Also, I've never counted, but it must number in the several hundred; I wouldn't want to overwhelm any fledgling enthusiasts there. ;)

  • I found this small community just a few days ago: !cd_collectors@lemmy.sdf.org Thought it was interesting, and curious. I did not know that CDs are considered by some as collectible.

  • c. Negligently failing to warn or adequately warn Plaintiff of the gander of the mens’ room toilet...

    Well, there you go: summary judgment to the Plaintiff. If you don't tell your customers that there's a fucking HATEFUL COBRA TURKEY keeping jealous possession of the Mens' loo, like some latter-day dragon guarding its hoard, you deserve to be sued at the very least, and just for starters until greater commensurate punitive action can be determined.


    @PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works , this was initially to be a playful ribbing of what I'd thought was a typo oversight, on your part, of transcribing text from the court document.

    But seeing that it's the actual text of the filing absolves you, and makes the typo oversight that much funnier.

    Florida never fails to entertain and disappoint.

  • It's not a wooosh, it's a reply in kind, deferred.

  • Why would you assume anything? The answer is provided in the article itself. Why can so few people be arsed to read the information provided before leaping to an attempt at pithy commentary?

    The group ... views Satan not as a supernatural being but as “a literary figure that represents a metaphorical construct of rejecting tyranny over the human mind and spirit.” The club’s programs, they say, focus on “science, critical thinking, creative arts, and good works for the community.”

    (Boldface mine. "science" comes to us from Latin's "scientia": knowledge)

    The irony of assuming something instead of learning/confirming it from the information provided, as regards an article about an organization whose stated focus is on knowledge and critical thinking, is disappointing.

  • There's a checkbox for this in your Lemmy account settings. It's not in any mobile client app that I've tried (I don't think so, at any rate).

    Admittedly I've tried only 3 or 4 mobile client apps, but likely it doesn't need to be a client setting because it's a Lemmy setting, accessed in web browser UI.

  • That's a great Stephen Wright joke:

    My dental hygienist is cute. Every time I visit, I eat a whole package of Oreo cookies while waiting in the lobby. Sometimes she has to cancel the rest of the afternoon's appointments.

  • nectar is supplied in small doses to keep the insect (or the bird) working
    insects or birds are just trying to get more nectar (?)

    You're saying is that flowers are nature's pimp. That's cool, I guess.

    As long as flowers don't start smacking a bee for not collecting. Feel me?
