Who are you? Where's the regular nurse?

Jesus, I read about that technique in a science magazine in the 90s.

I once read a post by an Etsy clothes-maker complaining that pants with pockets were her worst-selling items. Maybe that's why?

I'm not a warrior, I've just lost the memory of what happened last time, and all the numbers after 8 and the word for those flapping flying things that sit on power lines. People keep talking about Traumatic Brain Injury. I think that's my favourite punk band?

Leftover... cheese? I know what each of those words mean individually, but put them together like that and you've lost me.

I drank an entire bottle of coke in the first act, which made the last act seem infinite.

It was an amateur production of Shakespeare's As You Like It that a friend and his son were both acting in. It could have been quite stodgy, but the actors made it good fun.

Count me in the column of people who think Verne is equally well-known to Wells. Heck, I'm part way through Off on a Comet at the moment.

Accidentally inhaling a drinking straw.

Much less of a problem now that I've stopped using them, admittedly.

Well it is the most wonderful time of the year.

Now this is what I pay my taxes for.

Damage by weapon rating instead of making a separate damage roll. Yes or no?

I'm working on a personal project that involves calculating the mean, median and mode of word length in a series of poems. I've imported the first into LibreOffice Calc as a CSV, and have about 600 cells of word lengths.

Calc has Average, Median and Mode functions, but they only accept 255 inputs each. I could split the cells into batches of three and then work with those results, but it feels like that would only let me calculate the overall mean, not the other two figures.

So firstly, am I even using the right tool for this? Maybe there's a better way than using a spreadsheet. And secondly, if a spreadsheet is the best tool, is there a way I can do the calculations I need?

Especially if the sinners still need their punishment?

Either all at once, or over a lifetime?

My position is that it's a snack and husband tax must be paid. My wife is arguing that it's a meal or occupies some third food space and it's entirely hers. Who's right, court of Lemmy?

To explain what I mean, I think you can level up a cooking style. For example, pasta. At level 1, you're boiling dried pasta and adding sauce out of a jar. At level 1, you add your own spices. Level 3, switch to fresh pasta. Level 4, make your own sauce. And finally at level 5, make the pasta from scratch.

So with BBQ, I guess level 1 would be cooking the meat so it's neither burnt nor underdone. Maybe level 2 is mixing different meats/cuts that have different heat/time requirements and cooking well. Further levels = ?

Message bullets (lemmy.world)

Picture this: you're working in a large open-plan office and you need to send a message to Steve at the other end of the room. You pull out your messenger handgun, dictate your message (because you paid for the voice recognition feature) and let it engrave your words on a bullet. Then you simply fire it at the target mounted above Steve's cube!

Fast, attention-getting and simple. It's the perfect system.

I'm sharing this because any reduction in unnecessary packaging waste is good for the planet - and because I think laser-etching avocados is funny. 🙂
