I vaguely “knew” that alembics, retorts, and calcinators were things because of some fantasy book or another. Morrowind taught me what they were.

That would explain a lot of policies…

And Dick Cheney.

I don’t care for capitalism, but Adam Smith was an abolitionist. He absolutely hated slavery because he believed it to be immoral firstly, and economically inefficient secondly. He couldn’t prove the second part, but once someone at either Cambridge or Oxford did manage to prove it, Great Britain and Europe outlawed slavery. Again, I’m not defending capitalism here, and I’m certain, from the tone of The Theory of Moral Sentiments, that, were he alive today, Smith would be railing against Capitalism. I’m just pointing out that it was supposed to be abolished far quicker than The Civil War.

So it was a spelling mistake? They’re actually The Knights of The Ground Table!

Not on this side of the pond. We typically don’t have a ground floor, that’s just the first floor.

Petit* bourgeois, it’s French so you spelled it like it sounds.

Well that’s a shame for me. This graphic finally made the Linux file directory structure make sense to me

Per the graphic, it means Unix System Resources…

This right here is why I love you guys. Someone posted a bug, and we already have two people testing said bug, and giving reports within 30 minutes of the bug report.

Never change Lemmy :)

I just checked it on Sync for Lemmy, and it showed as a blue block till I clicked it. I’m using a Galaxy S10e. It does show two instances of the word “spoiler” at the beginning of the text, but that’s just something Sync does. Works fine elsewhere.

Why are you giving out parent of the year awards for crimes against humanity?

If for nothing else, the soundtracks and Tim Curry’s / George Takai’s performances in Red Alert 2

Plant hemp. Plant as much of that weed as you can, harvest the roots and store them somewhere that the carbon can’t get back into the air. Underground in a sealed drum or underwater if you have a trash compactor handy, and can dump it into the deep parts of the Pacific.

Carefully. Rats are vicious.

I wouldn’t say that’s the sole purpose, just an additional purpose to being able to tell time. It’s also useful if the kid wants to be a pilot.

It proves to be somewhat useful as an example when trying to teach fractions and decimals, something we are absolutely terrible at teaching. Incomprehension of fraction to decimal conversion is why 90% of people who say they are bad at math, say they are bad at math.

Seriously! I’m pretty sure that was part of 1st or 2nd grade. Maybe both…

I was joking. I guess that wasn’t clear. Agreed, McD’s is negative quality. Serving up Fallout 4 Pink Food Paste.
