That's fine. Spelled vs spelt is different regionally in the UK. I was taught "spelled", I say it as spelled, but more often than not I type it spelt because it's easier on a glass keyboard

10 to 1. Many style guides require numbers lower than 10 to be spelt out. Many people think that what style guides say is "correct"

But you can only use them on new wounds. If one fails, for example on a finger abrasion injury (the only place I have ever had those fail) you need to replace it with a different type of dressing.

They do stick better than any of the alternatives I have tried and that provide the best healing environment

Wiktionary disagrees with you. It gives only one spelling which is the one I used. Your spelling is correct for the equivalent Italian word

Because getting the same results is hard or expensive if you wanted to do it yourself.

A security camera is easy. Reasonably secure view from anywhere is difficult. Notification of activity in view of the camera is harder. Internet to front door intercom is moderately difficult.

Remember that Google not only cooperates with police, they will report users to the police for things their AI finds in that users photos or documents

When they have done that in the past and police investigated the police found no crime was done, but Google deleted their account anyway. They lost their contacts list, their photos, all the spreadsheets and documents in their Google drive, their email account, all their passwords (and the ability to reset those passwords because of the loss of the email account). The guy also used Google for internet and phone, which also went away when Google accused him

If you keep anything important on an online service, keep a backup offline (https://takeout.google.com/ for Google). Use a password manager that isn't under control of a tech giant.

If you back up everything to an online service, choose one that allows you to encrypt your data so they can't use it against you

Keyboards. Near enough is good enough, right?

Have you not been reading this thread? Dinosaurs never went extinct. A sparrow is descended from the great raptors

And then they give the best eggs. The best eggs are made of mice and bugs

And this one will steal your lunch

The US also has a problem because the federal elections are first past the post, which excludes minor parties

I'm pretty sure that's the root cause for the polarisation in American politics

The word is spelt "sophisticated"

And yes, a democracy with a sufficiently educated populous is immune to authoritarianism

That's probably why the American right attacks education

Yeah you need to wash your razor after shaving to remove the hair and soap, but I'm reading the above as something more than that, like removing the blade from the razor to clean it

Perhaps I'm spoilt by a modern razor, back when I used a 1960s Gillette I did have to open the blade holder to rinse it

It's highly polished smooth steel, it's not the sort of surface that holds contamination

Sufficient Kelvins do hurt, I guess

"a legacy service" according to the article, but it was a legacy service that had access to Exchange

Yes, it is another name for a starfish

You can edit your title in Lemmy. If your app doesn't support it, you could edit on the web interface

You need not suffer the indignity of a perpetual error like we had to on Reddit

RPM (revolutions per minute) is an old rotational measure

But the second is the same in both systems so I wouldn't be surprised if America called revs per second "Hertz"

Big K is Kelvins for temperature
