English IS my first language and it still tripped me up. It’s an easy thing to swap, especially without much context.

I read it as “to break off” not “to temporarily interrupt”

I feel personally attacked.

I’m sorry everyone, I just like commenting and talking to people more than trying to be creative.

Electronics function better when colder (to a point) so they need to keep the electronics cool.

Instead of large cooling towers and a more enclosed system, a lot are just sucking up cool municipal water, and dumping hot water out wherever they feel like.

I think it’s more like “you can feel your tongue inside your mouth and nowhere is comfortable” kind of thing.

You can always feel your tongue, but you aren’t always aware of it.

Forgive them

Nah. Just forget them.

Sprinkle some on your pancakes, it’s quite sweet!

Please don’t use 3d printed parts in food preparation.

You already have enough microplastics in your brains, and the layer lines are bacterial breeding grounds. (which are less of a concern if you only use it once or twice but is still relevant)

Make sure you get a good coat of leaded paint to make sure none of that is a problem.

My wife and her dad both have it. This is the first time I’ve heard anyone link it to ibuprofen.

I wish my wife could play subnautica with me, as she likes swimming around and stuff but isn’t really “good” at video games, since she never played one until adulthood.

In Minecraft it’s mostly me doing the work while she does farming stuff. I once came back from a deep mining trip to see a once-empty field filled to the maximum with cows. We had a nice library afterward though.

I still haven’t beaten subnautica without cheating or taking shortcuts. Heck when I first downloaded it, it didn’t even have an ending yet.

9.3/10, it’s fun

I know my vehicle’s limits, other drivers do not.

The second I stopped to think about that for a second when I got my license, I realized that goes for other people too.

Just because the combination of my vehicle and driving could have gotten through that gap, doesn’t mean yours can.

So I’ll wait, just please actually go when the light changes and you’re 3 car lengths into the intersection…

One scoop of shit in a sandwich is better than two, but it’s still a shit sandwich.

Open question to the floor: what is the most “Ska” song I could send to someone? Like the most iconic or the most stereotypical “Ska” a song could possibly be.

Edit: I’ve got some listening to do, thanks for the responses, keep them coming! I’ve never heard of half these bands, and while Ska isn’t usually my thing I definitely vibe with some of them.

I’d rather just use the internet and look around for an hour or two.

Wastes way less water and power than asking a single question of an LLM and I’ll have a much better idea of how to accomplish my goal.

I park next to an 80s beetle with over 350k on the odometer. My own truck is from the 90s with 280k.

I work with a guy who daily drives his dad’s old Mercedes. While he inherited it, it wasn’t a “project car” or anything, it was a daily driver kept in good repair. Honestly, you put on a new clear coat, detail the interior? It feels no more than a few years old. 500k miles.

I’ve never heard a girl use those measurements.

Women, however, use them frequently enough.

Sorry for being pedantic but it rubs me the wrong way when people refer to women as “girls”

Edit: Guess this part of lemmy is cool with infantilizing women. Didn’t know people around here were cool with sharing traits with pedophiles, but here we are.

What elegance might even an extra millimeter of chassis space produced?

People really don’t seem to understand that in the electronics world, one single millimeter can make worlds of difference.

You absolutely can cram so much more stuff in “dumber” electronics, but phones are even more constricted in design, because they need to send and receive signals of different types, so feedback and signal noise are concerns.

Adding in even slightly more space allows for much better design, because you have more tolerances to reduce signal noise. It allows dozens of wires for camera sensors to route better. A 20% longer battery life. Heck, just being slightly more ergonomic and less droppable is a bonus to slightly thicker phones.

I didn’t even consider signal noise until I got into fpv drones and rc stuff, it can mame a ton of difference if you have a single wire 2mm out of place. (and crash your drone because the motor interfered with your antenna)

Thiner≠better.

So just say no to hanging out, or let the person know you’re bringing company?

Of course teleporters make a copy of the original.

Unless there’s a malfunction in the dilithium encabulator matrix, then it would make you some sort of vacant, soulless husk that traps people in pattern buffers for fun in order to try and feel something after multiple lifetimes of torture and pain…

That never happens though.

It makes perfect sense when viewed from “the credit companies work with lenders to ensure your credit only rises if you’re constantly in more and more debt but still paying it like an obedient little wage slave”
