I guess we'll see.

I've found out from Facebook before. But sometimes you don't find out until years after the facts.

Obituaries exist too.

Landmines kill innocent people decades after the conflicts they were deployed in are over. So yeah, it's fighting for their lives, too

Yeah I think there's probably a lot of micro-regional accents that this is missing. Which is jarring because it shows some of them. I know I have also seen some odd accents with older people in eastern Colorado. That may qualify as a "mountain accent" but I'm not completely sure what that refers to.

Restaurants already do plenty of things which require cooking overnight, though.

If it's kept at a steady temperature above 140F it should be fine.

Which is actually different from a Midwestern accent.

Completely missing the Pittsburgh accent which is quite distinct. But I don't think I've ever seen it depicted in TV or movies either so it's likely that most Americans are completely unfamiliar with it.

I wouldn't say most Coloradans have a Midwestern accent either, especially in the front range.

Edit: it's even hard to find good examples on YouTube. Here's one guy but I would say this is just one type of accent and it's not that strong. You should hear my cousins...

What is your goal in not owning a smartphone?

I also think that they're underestimating the effects of parallax in these photos.

Not really unpopular. That said, while flour (kind of the backbone of most baking recipes) is prone to being inaccurate when measured by volume, there are a lot of ingredients which do not have this problem and are not as sensitive to being measured wrong. If a cookie recipe calls for a quarter cup of chocolate chips that's probably fine. I think a lot of people don't have a scale sensitive enough to measure a half gram of yeast, either.

Exercise matters for your mental health, not just looking good or longevity.

 
 
 

I can't see what I'm typing in landscape orientation. I type in landscape 100% of the time.

 

Does not make me sad he's gone, tbh.

 

Been noticing a spammer who set up their own instance and can't see a fast way to just block the whole instance, either from the user menu, or from navigating to the instance. I may just be missing it.

 

I'm wondering if I'm just missing how to do this. I don't want to see posts from porn communities when I'm browsing sync in public. I'm OK with blurred NSFW posts from communities which are not marked NSFW. I would really prefer not to have to filter out every single one manually.

key chain? (self.buyitforlife)
 

Any recs on a BIFL key chain? Those rings always get bent over time, looking for something sturdy. Might just be a flaw in the design because if you can bend it enough to get a key on, you can probably bend it out of shape over time.
