Or well-pasturised. UHT is what I call "baking milk," because UHT adds a rather unpleasant note which results from heating, which is fine in baked goods but not nice to drink.

Took me a little while to see. Had to open both in new browser tabs and quickly flash between them to see the difference.

What’s weirder is that muons turned out to be INCREDIBLY cute.

They almost have "mew" in the name, it's like a kitten! 😻

Tbf, Merge Sort has a Big O of n log (n) in all cases, so it's a pretty mid sorting algorithm in general, but it's conceptually straightforward and easy to explain to newbies.

Would ride if it was a rollercoaster.

Why does it feel like someone is posting or creating a copypasta...

If you want to zipper two sorted lists, you compare the first element of each list, pick that first, take the next element of that list, rinse & repeat until one list runs out and then just chuck the entire rest of the other list in the remaining space, even if that's just one element. Since your two initial lists are already sorted, you can trust the combined list to also be sorted.

Because inevitably, someone is gonna say it, I will take it upon myself to be that guy.

In NL we call it a wildrooster, which roughly translates to "wild animal grate," but more literally could be interpreted as "venison toaster."

Also, its name then focuses on being for wild animals instead of cattle.

NINJA EDIT: Looks like veerooster is an accepted other name, which specifically translates to cattle grid. I guess which one you use depends on whether you're trying to control sheep or cows vs. boars or deer.

I wonder what surviving human held the record before balloons (excluding edge cases like jumping gaps on a mountain bridge). Probably it was someone falling from a cliff into snow or water, but maybe it involved something weird like a gunpowder explosion or volcano.

Because they use a honey comb.

 

TRANSCRIPT:

Me: Is this birdcage made out of nickel?
Pet Store: Aluminum I think
Me: So there's no nickel in this cage?
Pet Store: Don't you dare!
Me: It's a nickleless cage
Pet Store: GET OUT!

Pretty much what it says on the tin.

If I click the chain icon on a comment with MMB on the website (Lemmy.world, BE: 0.18.3, accessed via Firefox), it opens to a blank tab. If I do so with LMB, it works just fine.
