I, an English speaker, was interacting with a Spanish patient at work. It was me first week, and it had been a long while since I had spoken Spanish but I had been nearly fluent for years. The patient had neck pain. I walked in and very confidently asked “Donde esta el dolor en su culo?” They looked shocked, turned red and said, “OH NO!” and I immediately realized I asked them “Where is the pain in your asshole?” confusing culo (asshole) with cuello (neck). I apologized profusely and they couldn’t stop laughing about it during the whole appointment. Good times.

Jeez. Americans will use anything but metric.

A friend of mine is a Doctor. This is what he suggests to anyone who is truly interested in stopping.

1. Smoke as much as you need to
2. Start rolling your own, unfiltered.
3. Put the pack somewhere inconvenient, like car trunk or in a hard to reach box in the garage
4. Only every smoke outside, under an open sky. No cars, no houses, no awnings, no umbrellas, etc. No matter the weather.

He says this makes it accessible but inconvenient and not as enjoyable. Eventually the inconvenience will start to outweigh the need until you end up quitting. He says he has like a 80-90% success rate with those who actually follow through

Only about half a penny of every federal tax dollar goes to NASA.

Yea but his boring company isn’t particularly useful for anything other than stymieing public transportation programs by acquiring contracts with cities and then doing nothing with them. Almost like he has an interest in selling more cars than expand public transit… allegedly.

Unsolicited nudes too.

For some reason connect would overheat my phone. Eternity doesn’t.

I use box jades at work, and just ignore all the dirty looks.

Glad you found a home here. FYI the spiritual successor for Infinity has a lemmy app called Eternity

I am in the same boat as you. I’m so happy a new Armored core game is here

It’s actually a lot harder than you think. Stuff I Made here tried it. Fun little video.

So by that logic, .world should defederate from all other instances, just to be safe?

I love this description

It has what plants crave!

It uses the sounds it records and compares again the messages you send. So in theory it’s layout agnostic.

Me too, but for some reason it makes my phone run hot

Seriously. A firmware I use only really uses discord to communicate. It’s near impossible to find fixes for anything on there.
