Pachelbel’s Canon is probably the most widely familiar forgotten song/melody that nearly everyone alive today has probably heard in some form, most without ever realizing it.

When I call a fern (or wolf, crab, crow, whale, shark), at that level of syntactical broadly used common word I’m mostly talking about the phenotype, not the genotype. If someone was saying something about a specific fern, then we can argue against those romantic idea of deep time, a little. I mean, we’re probably all descendants of some ancient panspermia event anyway if you want to feel some connection to the ancient forgotten past.

Yes. I’m assuming your just some dude and not a telecom with teams of lawyers.

That’s not what pedantry means.

The effects of subatomic particles, even high speed ones, are apparent even if you are unaware of the cause.

No, I didn’t. We can perceive electrons in various ways.

Explain to us how we don’t interact with electrons in everyday life.

Despectacled.

Nancy Reagan just laughs at this take.

Reading on an ebook reader makes it really easy for me to highlight sections and annotate them. It can be fun to note my various suspicions about the killer as I read an Agatha Christie for example, see if and how early I can guess the killer. Getting those notes back out of my ebook reader and into a format I can preserve has been a bit of a challenge.

Absorbent towels. I guess if you’d always used fabric softener, you’d never know how much more effective towels are when they haven’t been abused by fabric softener or drier sheets.

I added the sound of a disconnected land line to the beginning, a short pause, and then my voicemail message. Has done a pretty decent job of weeding out spam, scams, and impatient idiots.

Now. That’s pretty much the situation now. If you don’t believe me, try and completely remove Edge and Copilot from an updated Windows 11.

The argument in that article is basically “Most calculators do it this way now, so that must be our convention to use, so 16 is the correct answer. Please ignore that this goes against the conventions established before calculators became transistorized.”

Because the question takes a backseat to showcasing the OP’s product link. They aren’t trying to sell us on some carnivore product though (as seems to be their normal posting mode), so it was probably an accident. I guess once you start selling bullshit non-stop it’s hard to stop sounding that way. The way they were so quick to pull and regurgitate those stats about you was a real internet marketer move though. Sneaky of you to trick them into exposing how creepy they are.

The article you keep linking disagrees.

Although having given its name to the word henge, Stonehenge is atypical in that the ditch is outside the main earthwork bank.

An atypical example of something is still a “true” example of the thing, especially given that the very term derives its origin from Stonehenge itself.

Edit: Oops, mistook 2 basic pedants regurgitating trivia as the same person.

Obviously, it was a skill learned in early grade school and subsequently forgotten through lack of practice. You know, as stated in the article and multiple comments here.

COVID bump

That’s a subtly and nuance that will be lost on A LOT of people. Clearly it’s a distinction that OP’s roommate is not ready to confront, which probably tells us something about the attitudes of his family as well. But, in the end, it’s rarely so simple as chucking someone into a bin for convenient stereotyping based on one person’s story about another person’s feelings.

It wouldn’t be reddit 2.0 without complaints like this about popular social concerns being popular on social media.
