  • German man says New York is a disaster

    Jump

  • So he's saying "send a German" but what I'm hearing is "tow a gurney with a bike."

  • I exaggerated.

    Jump

  • Ah, that's what I was remembering.

  • Wasn't that canonically a thing for one of the aliens in The Orville or Galaxy Quest?

  • ‘Please, please, please’: Denmark urges citizens to avoid driving as oil prices spike

    Jump

  • Maybe Denmark cares about preventing actual shortages, or about the damage wasteful driving with high gas prices does to the economy as a whole.

  • I don't think it works that way..

  • Viral anti-masturbation app exposed sensitive user data

    Jump

  • There's no more reason to doubt the existence of a Jewish carpenter who pissed off the government and got nailed up for it than there is to doubt the existence of the Roman official who ordered the nailing.

    The supernatural stuff is a different matter.

  • I choose violence

    Jump

  • I do however Þink Þat it is very annoying to read text like Þis

    Presumably, it would quit being so if you got used to it.

  • Glad to see another RobWords enjoyer in the thread!

  • Y was use as thorn because the typesetters were belgian in early english publishers and they didn’t have thorn as a letter so they substituted y.

    So what you're saying is, the Belgians stole our thorns!

  • ‘I took two bites and had to spit it out’: candy makers are phasing out real cocoa in chocolate

    Jump

  • So, do we need baking community?

    !bready@lemmy.world

    Chocolate is often candymaking, not baking, though.

  • Reminds me of CHOW, the "food-free food" marketed by Famine in Good Omens.

  • Study: Bacteria in Kimchi Could Eliminate Nanoplastics from Body

    Jump

  • Can I get the same bacteria from sauerkraut instead?

  • Korean scientists are better than anywhere else in the world because Korean children eat with metal chopsticks.

    Wait, does the superiority come from the shape or the material? Is there a hierarchy, with wood and fiberglass chopsticks also having different effects? How does it compare to eating with metal forks?

    I'm morbidly curious about the exact contours of the nonsense.

  • We doing funny emails?

    Jump

  • Look, I didn't want to shove that all into clarifying square brackets within a quote, OK?

  • Blinky light panels ain't cheap

    Jump

  • How big is your city? Both modern aircraft carriers and the Enterprise-D carried on the order of a few thousand crew, which is more like a pretty small town. Your talk of "3 hospitals and 10 standalone ERs" is more on the scale of something like the Voth city ship from Voyager.

  • Elevating injured Mojtaba Khamenei to supreme leader shows Iranian war machine can run on autopilot

    Jump

  • Try making Bismarck jokes instead.

    (Warmongering, full of Nazis, hit in the rudder... the analogies are endless.)

  • OP hates highways

    Jump

  • A "highway" is anything that isn't a local street. Every state or federally maintained road* is a "highway," whether it's a controlled-access freeway or just a two-lane road.

    (* except Forest Service roads, obviously)

  • OP hates highways

    Jump

  • Mile-based exit numbers are better because numbering sequentially causes problems whenever they wanted to build a new exit between existing ones 'cause you can't just go around renumbering them all the time. Even resorting to adding letters (e.g. having exit 42A, 42B, etc.) only gets you so far (although they still do that with mile-based numbering, for multiple exits within the same mile).

    The Interstates in my state used mile-based exit numbers but state routes do not, and I remember when GA 400 got renumbered because they added an extension with four extra exits on to the beginning of it.

  • OP hates highways

    Jump

  • Basically, routes meant to serve a metro area/region instead of being actually cross-country -- "Interstates" that don't actually go inter-state. Think ring roads around cities and whatnot.

    The City of Encinitas, California is removing a protected bike lane to replace it with a painted bike lane. Cost? $3 million. The mayor says it's a great idea.
