Out of curiosity, what do you take screenshots of? That's not something I've heard of people doing compulsively.

Only ~40% higher - make sure to use absolute units when taking a ratio of temperatures.

I think your approach is a good one to ensure real users, reduce spam, and for the admins to be compensated for the service they provide. However, is giving your credit card or bank transfer information to a website less risky or more privacy-focused (one of OP's goals) than giving an email address?

The thing is, you want the turn signal to turn on before the start of the turn, so other drivers, pedestrians, cyclists can react.

Uh oh - a linguistics Wikipedia article.

And here I was, planning to work.

You are a lemme.ee user, so you will need to find another instance (it's like a server) if you want to keep using Lemmy - and I hope you do!

https://join-lemmy.org/ has a listing of instances, though I'm sure others will hop in here and recommend some.

They're called "adds" because of the value they add to your life

Why thank you

My kid flushed a rubber ball down the toilet before - it was exactly the right size and squishyness to get stuck. After trying many things, I was able to get it out by removing the toilet and pouring in boiling water - it softened the ball enough for it to be flushed out.

It sounds like I got lucky. It was a warm day iirc - maybe that helped with the thermal stress.

How could OP have transcribed the movie clip so wrong, but still made an absurdist joke? Thanks for clearing it up.

I've been a victim of Poe's Law, but there has to be some threshold where it's not ambiguous.

Works ok for me on Android

English rock band best known for their single "Laid."

Hope that clears it up.

It's not so much a joke as a recitation of a tired stereotype

Interesting - is there a point at which you'd switch to saying individual digits? Like if you're listing eight digits of pi, is it still three point fourteen million, one hundred fifty-nine thousand, two hundred sixty-five?

Good explanation, but I think you're reading too much into "I can tell when you shift to the left." The teacher just means that when the student shifts to their left, their head isn't covering the poster so the AI flags the second face.

This is officially my most unnecessary comment, but I already typed it so it's going up.

Gob was not on board

Cheers

All of the examples relate to differences in pronunciation, so the guidance in the OP is good - use your personal pronunciation. I would imagine this would be harder for non-native speakers, but fortunately there aren't many words (that I'm aware of) that are commonly pronounced with a leading vowel sound or leading consonant sound depending of dialect.

The only example cited in this thread that most people will experience is "herb" which has large populations that pronounce it with and without a silent "h." "History" and related words are not commonly pronounced with a silent h outside of regional dialects.

English is definitely nuts, but can you give an example of where this particular rule doesn't apply?
