Wait, my body's own heat is enough? Always has been.
  • Who said I'd still have toes?

  • Wait, my body's own heat is enough? Always has been.
  • Agreed. Funnily I'm from a more temperature country and she's from where I'm at now, but she's the one that is always cold and wants to keep it at ~22. I ain't gonna argue considering she pays the electricity bill, though.

  • Wait, my body's own heat is enough? Always has been.
  • It's gonna get down to -30°C this week, I'll turn the heat off and just throw on the good ol' toque and a sweater and report back, assuming I still have fingers.

  • I use CachyOS and it works great for my gaming needs. I use a PS4 controller on it just fine, no clue about the newer XBOX controllers, but I don't see why they wouldn't.

  • Do you pronounce "Data" as "Day-ta" or "Dah-ta"?
  • More like [ˈd̪ät̪ä], no long vowel.

    That's my B, I was looking at Ecclesiastical Latin for that one :3

    Interesting points though, thanks for the elaboration. Shows the layers of silliness that is depending upon other languages for the way we pronounce words.

  • Do you pronounce "Data" as "Day-ta" or "Dah-ta"?
  • Your science teacher was wrong, unfortunately. In Classical Latin, datum is pronounced as [ˈd̪ät̪ʊ̃ˑ] "dah-too(m)" and likewise data as [ˈd̪äːt̪ä] [ˈd̪ät̪ä] "dah-tah."

    Not that Latin should really have a say in how we speak English anyhow.

  • Poor Customer Service Olympics
  • Air Canada should be top 5 imo. I want my three nights in an expensive hotel (the only one with available rooms, at that) reimbursed, goddammit, I don't care if it was out of your control due to "weather" on the nice, sunny day that my wife was having at my destination.

    I might be a little biased...

  • Take the red pill, all linguistic categories are equally unreal.

  • Hello, I'd just like to clear up this common misconception. Much like 18 USC § 331, which only targets the fraudulent defacement of coinage, criminal intent is also a requirement to be charged under the applicable criminal code for banknotes, 18 USC § 333. Pressing a penny at the zoo isn't illegal and neither is what the crazy person did to those banknotes. These codes are intended to prosecute attempts to change the face value of banknotes or remove metal from coinage to sell the scrap and pass off the coins as being their full value.

    18 USC § 331:

    Whoever fraudulently [emphasis added] alters, defaces, mutilates, impairs, diminishes, falsifies, scales, or lightens any of the coins coined at the mints of the United States, or any foreign coins which are by law made current or are in actual use or circulation as money within the United States; or

    Whoever fraudulently possesses, passes, utters, publishes, or sells, or attempts to pass, utter, publish, or sell, or brings into the United States, any such coin, knowing the same to be altered, defaced, mutilated, impaired, diminished, falsified, scaled, or lightened—

    Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.

    18 USC § 333:

    Whoever mutilates, cuts, defaces, disfigures, or perforates, or unites or cements together, or does any other thing to any bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt issued by any national banking association, or Federal Reserve bank, or the Federal Reserve System, with intent to render such bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt unfit to be reissued, [emphasis added] shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.

  • I'm in a similar situation to you with my wife, dog, and cat. I just quit pharmacy school because I couldn't take it anymore and now I don't know what direction to go in. I totally get OP as well, I've had to be told many times by my wife and others that people do genuinely like life and that I just can't understand that because I'm depressed, but meds sure ain't helping. I can't seem to get over the utilitarian algebra of how [good/pleasure]-[bad/pain]>0 could possibly be true, if you know what I mean. Which is funny because I'm not even a utilitarian, but for myself it somehow applies.

    Good luck getting that new job.

  • South Carolina jails mothers who test positive for marijuana while pregnant
  • Well then you should have just said that instead, because your initial reply was unwarranted given that I made my position on police enforcement in this regard quite clear.

  • South Carolina jails mothers who test positive for marijuana while pregnant
  • I use weed lol.

    Drug isn't a dirty word, I apply this thinking to any and every drug, whether or not it's a "drug of abuse." If it hasn't been shown to be safe during pregnancy, then it shouldn't be used in pregnancy.

  • Paginated Feed Option

    I'm asking for this in a few different communities for lemmy apps because I'd really appreciate the feature, I hope this isn't seen as spam.

    Pagination adds points of resistance during use and allows for a natural stopping point that can give one the clarity of mind to limit app use to a healthy amount. I understand that the normal web client is like this, but it would be nice to have the option in app form as well.

    There are also accessability reasons to consider this, as outlined in this article.

    On a personal note, infinite scrolling gives me anxiety, and can be a problem for those with other mental health disorders as is also outlined in the aforementioned article.

    Thanks for reading.

    Feature Request: Paginated Feed Option

    I know this might be a but of a long shot, but I would love to see the option to enable a paginated feed, i.e. the user must choose to load the next page of content in their feed.

    Pagination adds points of resistance during use and allows for a natural stopping point that can give one the clarity of mind to limit app use to a healthy amount. I understand that the normal web client is like this, but it would be nice to have this feature alongside other UI improvements from Liftoff.

    On a personal note, infinite scrolling gives me anxiety and it would be great to be able to choose (of course with infinite scrolling still as the default, as I understand I might be in the minority here).

    Thanks for your time and effort.
