This is probably the worst example to choose, because in the US the generic name is acetaminophen. This is a case where the brand name actually unites understanding of a drug whose chemical name differs by location.

That being said, I still agree with the spirit, let’s stick to referring to the drug and not the brand.

I didn’t realize they finished the first game, I thought I was playing something still in early access with all the bugs lol. But I’ll still check this out.

This guy is obviously unhinged but I’m glad they included his complaints for the sake of completeness

"I wanted a decent meal, I mean, I asked for sweet and sour pork and I got rocks," Shinner said.

"The fried rice was all right, but the sweet and sour pork, it's supposed to be in a bowl with veggies and all that with it — it's just nothing like that and it was burnt, I was just peed off because I paid all that money and I got crap."

I use a Kriega messenger bag. It’s got a wide strap with a quick way to adjust the length, so it’s easy to make sure it’s secure and comfortable. Waterproof and tough enough for use on the motorcycle but not so bulky that it looks out of place in the office.

I hate that I’m going to upvote every single one of these.

But I am going to.

Can we talk about how utterly absurd it is that there isn’t an obvious answer to this question yet? Feels like we’ve gone backwards from the AIM Direct Connect of old.

Rust: “Oh honey you aren’t ready to compile that yet”

You had it until the end. Glass has an amorphous structure, not crystalline, but is still very much a solid.

Other people: Hmm I only use a few commands on this thing, I wonder if I can just refer to them by number or something?

You: Googling African tongue-snapping languages

“That sign can’t stop me because I can’t read!”

Looks cool! But FYI this site is fucked on mobile (at least iOS), there’s a giant lemmy logo/link that blocks the form fields.

I always thought it was weird to model a game avatar after myself. I always roll the “random character” button (shout-out Monster Factory) when it’s available, keeps things simple.

I think Bastion is a perfect fit for this

TL;DR: Magnets. China makes almost all of them so any time we see something that might replace rare earth metals we get excited. In this case because a group made improvements to our ability to synthesize tetrataenite, an iron-nickel alloy, by adding phosphorus.

Trine 2! It’s a side-scrolling action/puzzle platformer, and a rare game actually made for 3.

With respect to data, there does seem to be a damning amount of it in the CFPB dataset they analyzed for the article. The fact that approvals were this disproportionate even when accounting for “income, debt-to-income ratio, property value, downpayment percentage, and neighborhood characteristics” is alarming. Specifically with respect to income, approval for lowest-quartile whites exceeded that of highest quartile blacks. Yes, credit score was not available in the dataset, but we know it doesn’t fully explain the gap because of its frequency as a cited reason for denial, and reliance on credit doesn’t really do much to dig NFCU out of this hole IMO.

I’m tempted to agree with the authors assessment that the use of automated tools by the underwriters is a likely contributor. Use a tool trained on historically racist data and practices, and that’s what you’ll get more of.

From the official GitHub page, this is the recommendation:

It’s about the 𝓉ℯ𝓍𝓉𝓊𝓇ℯ

This actually makes me feel much better, thanks

YMMV. I know it’s a good step down for some folks, especially as you can get carts with decreasing levels of nicotine. But in my case, the accessibility of vaping (which I did inside and in smaller more frequent doses, unlike how I smoked) set me back a bit and I felt like I started quitting all over again.
