- I was supposed to be taller going by the wingspan measurement thing, but my back decided to disagree. I was actually 173 until recently but somehow went back up. Weightloss might help
Reddit -> Beehaw until I decided I didn’t like older versions of Lemmy (though it seems most things I didn’t like are better now) -> kbin.social (died) -> kbin.run (died) -> fedia.

Nice try, Kao. Even if everything it seems is brought to us by you, I’m not going out to buy your goods
His upbringing doesn’t necessarily mean anything with regard to current state. My grandparents were rich and I was homeless. They put my dad and his siblings through uni (though have since disowned one), but I have student loans. Maybe he is still close and has access to all that money, but this feels a bit jump-to-conclusion-y
I was taught it in rural Ohio in the '80s, but it was never used outside of science in any meaningful way. Now live in metric land where things make so much more sense.
Once outside of the US, I think the CIA gets involved and I suspect it’s, in many ways, a more dangerous group to have mad at and hunting for you.
“you guys are screwed; they’re gonna be lookin’ for army guys” ~ paraphrasing peter griffin from family guy in clown garb and make-up somewhere in Viet Nam during the war.
Edit: meaning to highlight it might be intentional to have such a noticeable thing only to discard it later (if it’s not reversible or something already).
“The ancestor of Santa…” or something would probably work around it well enough to keep those people happy.
My grandfather was, but it does seem rather unlikely he’ll be able to do it again now that you mention it.
Sold out. Tetrapod Vomit Divot is still playing down the street, however.

So the cost of an asprin, a bandaid, and 3 jellybeans in a US hospital?
I don’t know if I’d still call myself a gamer. I still play games, but I just don’t have much time for them. As such, I do have videos on in the background frequently and it is frequently people playing games (though how they’re doing it or what they’re doing in the games is the interesting part and, in some cases, I’d watch the same content if it weren’t in a game but that’s how it happens to be packaged).
There are a lot of different dryer designs as well, some of which are much more friendly to breeding bacteria than others.
This is just speculation so not a real answer: many precious metals are easier to work than some of the harder counterparts like iron and steel. Secondarily, it’s harder to fake those. Even if you make an alloy counterfeit with the same weight when coated with the precious metal, you still need at least the previous metal and it would still fail other tests such as malleability.
My brain isn’t consciously thinking about the constituent parts of words as I’m saying them. I definitely don’t think “milk neck” when I think nipple, either.
I think that’s more hubris leading to death by misadventure. Ikarus got a little too warm.
‘Nobody panics when things go “according to plan.”’ – as a software engineer, I assure you this isn’t completely true. If things are too smooth, something is definitely, probably horribly and sneakily, wrong.
I’ve made this mistake and apparently others have as well: the words for lips (kuchibiru) and nipple (chikubi) got mixed up in my head leading to some awkwardness in Japanese.
Not all other languages have gendered nouns. Articles and affixes are usual points of pain I see (as someone who grew up in a monolingual English-speaking household), and of course the whole orthography mess with spelling is terrible (how can ough have like 6 or 8 pronounciations?!). If you want fun, some languages have distinctions between inanimate and animate things as well as cases that don’t exist in English as well if you want to look in fun other features.
Edit: I meant to say prepositions. Affixes is often more in the other direction
