  • Taking screenshots of everything is no different than elders printing out emails.

    Jump

  • Out of curiosity, what do you take screenshots of? That's not something I've heard of people doing compulsively.

  • Only ~40% higher - make sure to use absolute units when taking a ratio of temperatures.

  • I think your approach is a good one to ensure real users, reduce spam, and for the admins to be compensated for the service they provide. However, is giving your credit card or bank transfer information to a website less risky or more privacy-focused (one of OP's goals) than giving an email address?

  • Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident Rates

    Jump

  • The thing is, you want the turn signal to turn on before the start of the turn, so other drivers, pedestrians, cyclists can react.

    how do i explain “it’s raining” to my boyfriend?

  • Uh oh - a linguistics Wikipedia article.

    And here I was, planning to work.

    lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month

    Jump

  • You are a lemme.ee user, so you will need to find another instance (it's like a server) if you want to keep using Lemmy - and I hope you do!

    https://join-lemmy.org/ has a listing of instances, though I'm sure others will hop in here and recommend some.

    YSK how to unclog a toilet

    Jump

  • My kid flushed a rubber ball down the toilet before - it was exactly the right size and squishyness to get stuck. After trying many things, I was able to get it out by removing the toilet and pouring in boiling water - it softened the ball enough for it to be flushed out.

    It sounds like I got lucky. It was a warm day iirc - maybe that helped with the thermal stress.

  • Tesla paid Powerwall owners $10 million through virtual power plants

    Jump

  • This new version of the Tesla Virtual Power Plant actually compensates Powerwall owners $2 per kWh that they contribute to the grid during emergency load reduction events. Homeowners are expected to get between $10 and $60 per event.

  • I didn't vote for this

    Jump

  • Notice that they voted for "Trump" but that it's "government" that damaged their business. Curious.

    Hope that clears it up.

  • I feel so sorry for children with gay dads.

  • It's not so much a joke as a recitation of a tired stereotype

  • Question: Best flowering shrubs for full shade?

    Jump

  • I see you're in zone 3b - that might be too cold for azalea. Definitely check the specific species' requirements before buying.

    Good luck!

  • Question: Best flowering shrubs for full shade?

    Jump

  • I grow azalea and rhododendron in shady areas - they seem to do well. The ones in partial shade do better than the ones in full shade, though. I'm zone 7a.

    Hydrangea and Rose of Sharon may also grow in partial shade.

  • "1.32 MB" Is that pronounced, "one-point-three-two" megabytes, or "one-point-thirty-two" megabytes?

    Jump

  • Interesting - is there a point at which you'd switch to saying individual digits? Like if you're listing eight digits of pi, is it still three point fourteen million, one hundred fifty-nine thousand, two hundred sixty-five?

  • Bye bye Garmin, hello Polar (from Finland)

    Jump

  • I can't speak to their current products, but my M400 is still going strong after 10 years of daily use. My wife's Garmin stopped holding charge after 2 years.

    Polar's app leaves something to be desired, though.

  • YSK: Use ‘a’ when the word starts with a consonant sound, and ‘an’ when it starts with a vowel sound

    Jump

  • Cheers

  • YSK: Use ‘a’ when the word starts with a consonant sound, and ‘an’ when it starts with a vowel sound

    Jump

  • All of the examples relate to differences in pronunciation, so the guidance in the OP is good - use your personal pronunciation. I would imagine this would be harder for non-native speakers, but fortunately there aren't many words (that I'm aware of) that are commonly pronounced with a leading vowel sound or leading consonant sound depending of dialect.

    The only example cited in this thread that most people will experience is "herb" which has large populations that pronounce it with and without a silent "h." "History" and related words are not commonly pronounced with a silent h outside of regional dialects.
