Buy concert tickets if you want to support musicians, streaming income doesn’t really factor into it afaik.

In some situations, we use “o” for the number 0. Been hunting around for a reason but I think it’s just an abbreviation of zero.

12:01AM is definitely 00:01, so 12AM is midnight.

Fun fact, there’s around 2% of people that don’t produce smell when they sweat. The smell comes from bacteria that eat a certain chemical in sweat, and the folks don’t produce it, i.e. no bacteria or smell.

I refreshed filter lists in ublock once, business as usual since then.

For trebuchets at least, they were only siege weapons, took a long time to both assemble and fire. Though I must concede they were better than melee weapons for knocking down walls.

I think the BEUC reaction came from the product itself not being carbon neutral. Apple paid for credits to “offset” the carbon released in production, but that carbon is still released in production. Also where they invested to get said credits is a timber plantation for making pulp, not a great carbon capture project.

To return to simile, it’s like labeling a product as non-toxic because the toxins only release after a few years.

Giant, geode, gel, george, gerbil. Just sayin’.

Polymer bonded to frying pans to make them non-stick.

Decilitres/centilitres are relatively common, but they’re the only ones that come to mind.

If a game costs what I’m willing to pay for it, I buy it, if it doesn’t, I check G2A, if still not, wishlist and wait for sale. They can do what they like with prices but I’ve got my pain limit.

Apart from From Software stuff, I will buy all of those.

In French (and probably many other languages) first person plural is more polite. People in England started defaulting to “you” as it was a safer bet socially, and “thou” fell out of use.

English also used thorn (þ) before for “th” but printing presses didn’t, and substituted “y”, which I suspect contributed.

Quiz book, snacks, playlist, hammocks, camping chairs.
