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

Unsolicited nudes too.

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

Knowing how things always tend to work out. The 4 day work week will be Monday through Thursday and not be helpful at all.

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.

I got Rocket League for like 5 bucks. Didn’t touch it for a long time. Starting playing during the early COVID lockdowns. I got HOOKED now have nearly 1200 hours in it .

I have to second this. A dual geared BMG clone was the best upgrade I did for my Ender 3 pro.

It’s better than all the restagons!

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

Wait! There’s liquid electrical tape? Why am I just finding out about this now?!?!?!

In the US SMS is still the standard, it’s infuriating. Phones are starting to switch to RCS. I’ve tried a bunch of times to convert my core group of friends to Signal and it’s like talking to a brick wall.

TBF there is a PRIME “hydration drink” too akin to Gatorade. They are both labeled the same, and I can see a parent confusing them. No matter what vessel I buy a Coke in, it’s still the same beverage. Why would anyone assume differently with PRIME?

Nice! I have a decent chunk in POE as well, but personally got tired of running the story again and again. Still jump in from time to time to see what’s up though.

Rocket League and Warframe are my 2 top. Both over 1000 hours each.

But I can tell a 5-year-old any joke. I just shouldn’t. s/
