I saw a beggar the other day who was literally holding his hand out cupped. It was intense.
They forgot to blank out her name though.
I remember smoking outside a pub near Chinatown with a mate something like ten years ago when two Chinese people went by speaking Chinese, and he said "they should be speaking English; this is Britain," so I asked why, and he couldn't explain why. Just on a vague principle.
It's astonishingly obvious once it's pointed out:
There's no B#/Cb and no E#/Fb, so the groups of two black notes are between C and E, and the groups of three are between F and B.
I work in a kitchen so it's usually a bit of leftovers, but restaurant-quality leftovers, you understand.
I assumed it was so thieves couldn't just root the phone, but I've no idea how much difference a week makes in that context.
Ah, I actually use Youtube on a PC, but that is certainly good to know and I'll try it on the tablet.
I've no idea! I just looked up why it wasn't showing the OEM-unlocking option and it came up with forum posts from years ago saying so. I've just set a note in my calendar so I'll think about it next week, ha.
I've almost completely removed Google products from my life now, having recently decided to change the OS on my phone, delete Gmail, etc. etc. but only two things remain:
I've looked at Invidious and at Piped and I just can't seem to get the same experience as on Youtube. It's fine if Google knows nothing about me except what I watch on Youtube and what dates I'd put the bins out in 2013, no? (Can't seem to delete that from the calendar) Or if anyone's managed to emulate the same kind of experience Youtube gives on one of the two, please share. I quite like the recommendations but I think it's only possible on the abovementioned by watching a video then looking at the side of the page?
I've got a tablet (Samsung SM-T335) from ten years ago running on Android 5.1.1. I've decided to root it to delete all the bollocks that came installed with it (I've recently factory reset it and only use it for ebooks and Firefox Focus), including the Google stuff. I have to wait a week or something apparently before it'll let me check the OEM-unlocking box but I was wondering if anyone's had any success with this (I've seen people saying you can change the date, you can fiddle with it in xyz manner, but I'm looking to hear people's experiences).
The plan then is to root it, delete the shovelware, and sideload the two apps I want to use. Also curious to hear people's experiences with sideloading, because most of the articles I find on the internet were written by a robot or in the year dot. I've also read that it's impossible to install a custom OS on such an old tablet but I'd like to hear whether it's worth trying at the risk of bricking the thing.
Torn between whether moral judgment from Bojo means a low bar or a disreputable source.

They're called hands, because you do them with your hand. A font is a given instance of a typeface, which is a design of a script. Now you can be pedantic too!
Never thought I'd read that word on this website!
I don't think this answer is really in the spirit of "no stupid questions".
That's almost how I migrated, except I had to give a month's notice at work and I'd already found an address to register at.
This is so stupid but I only sent that Wikipedia entry to my girlfriend yesterday.
Well I take solace in the fact that I first assumed it was someone else's doing.
They're in order of likelihood of being played. Craig is a mate of mine who I play with when time permits.
We hebben een groepsappje aangemaakt voor mensen die in plantaardige keukens, bars, bakkerijen, productiekeukens enz. in Nederland werken. Stuur ff een privébericht als je wil meedoen!
We've set up a Whatsapp group for people who work in plant-based kitchens, bakeries, production kitchens, etc. in the Netherlands. DM if you want to join!
- Is it possible to use a hosting service I'm already paying for (strato.nl) and a domain I've already bought to host a Mastodon/Pixelfed instance? All the websites that encourage me to selfhost advertise a new hosting service to me with the price in dollars.
- Furthermore, is it possible to start an account on this instance that can be followed via either Mastodon or Pixelfed and vice versa, or are they just unrelated? I can see accounts from pixey.org on my Mastodon Android app and I know you can post to Lemmy via Mastodon but I'm unsure on how it goes the other way.
Sorry if I've made your eyes roll but we all shat green once.
Edit: very happy with the responses, thanks all.
Just wondering because I hear a lot of non-native speakers say things like "bend" instead of "band" and I find it a bit puzzling since native speakers don't say it that way (except in New Zealand and maybe London I suppose? Not sure) and many languages have the usual A-sound that I and many others use (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_front_unrounded_vowel) so it's not like it's difficult to pronounce. I've also seen it mentioned on onzetaal.nl that a particular word with an A is pronounced with an E "like in English" ("Bovendien spreek je app in het Nederlands nog enigszins op z’n Engels uit: als ‘ep’.": https://onzetaal.nl/taalloket/appen-whatsappen-vervoeging). Actually I find myself quite often not understanding Dutch people speaking English if they do it.
The other explanations would be that people can't get their mouths around the short A in standard American and learnèd English Englishes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near-open_front_unrounded_vowel) or that people have just sort of collectively, subconsciously decided to start saying it that way, or something else I haven't thought of. Maybe because the name of the letter A in English is more or less the same as the letter E in others?
Attached: 1 image Here is that first comic I did after the attacks. I had a job in the World Financial Center and had to escape the financial district on that day. It's hard to convey my emotions as I reluctantly and resentfully cast about for comic ideas and came up with this.
It sort of reads like a surrealist antijoke through modern eyes.
I'm a man myself, but I'm a foreigner where I live and work, so I sometimes get the impression that my intelligence is a bit underestimated by employers and coworkers. I'm a sous chef, so in a management position, and I often get this feeling like the chef de cuisine, the owner, and sometimes some of the cooks aren't listening to me. Like I'll have to reiterate my point two or even three times at a meeting before I get a relevant answer, or I'll send a memo out and the changes I've instated aren't being adopted after the fact, or someone I'm talking to might vacantly say "yes" as if they're occupied with something else.
Yesterday I asked the chef a question about a recipe that only he could answer and he said I could google it. I'd already googled it just to be sure, wouldn't you know. The day before, the owner told a cook, who then told me, that we all together were planning to put all delivery receipts in a neat little box and adopt a system to check they're correct, but I'd already done it alone a week earlier, and told them all about it, with photos and everything. I feel like I'm going mad.
I hear that this is a (more) common experience for women, so I wonder if any of you have any tips or tricks or whatever to make yourself heard, or to at least cope with not being heard, or even just a bit of commiseration is fine. Cheers!
