Quart? I'm not storing a bushel of grain to be inspected by the lord of the manor!

Seriously though I do love efficient storage containers and would happily fill the house with them.

If you liked the guy who murders a load of civilians in like the second episode then I don't think you can pretend it's because he's handsome!

Open-minded, permissive, tolerant

OK, but that's not what the word liberal actually means to most people in my experience. Or perhaps another way of saying it is that a lot of people I see getting angry on Lemmy read the word "liberal" and assume economically liberal, whereas every person I've ever encountered IRL would use it to mean socially liberal.

That doesn't look right

Ugh, at least I've heard of that

Was this chart made by a mediaeval apothecary?

Alright, what the fuck‽

I'm guessing a fifth is like a fifth of a gallon, but handles‽

Seems like a perfectly cromulent unit of measurement

In your country perhaps, cats aren't a problem everywhere. Even the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds maintain that cats are not a major cause of bird decline (in Britain).

Well the RSPB shockingly are quite against hunting animals, who'd have thought it? And careful throwing stones from your glass house, didn't your lot hunt the bison almost to extinction the moment they landed?

He ... will not be running again as the MP for Central Suffolk and North Ipswich

So really it's Labour accepts a free seat in the commons. Being principled is nice but ultimately meaningless if you have no power to enact those principles.

He ... accepted a free invitation to the exclusive members-only R&A golf club in St Andrews last August

My god, what a monster!

I don't think soldiers are generally told they can keep all the loot from every foreigner they kill

Why would the American government ban companies based under their own jurisdiction? They can make use of all those other companies just like the Chinese government can make use of TikTok.

Not sure why anyone would be interested in yet-another corporate-controlled platform

Copying my own reply to a similar question the other day: Most users don't give a shit about the tech or politics, they just want to go where the people they are interested in are, and most of them don't care either! Bluesky is actively promoting itself as the new old Twitter, so that's where people who want that are going.

The further removed you are from the other person in a conversation/altercation the more your brain dehumanises them. It's why people are rude to call centre workers, get road rage, and behave like dickheads online.

Wtf is a yeti cooler? I didn't know so many people are trying to smuggle yetis out of the Himalayas.

What hotel is fancy enough to have ice buckets and dispensers but not a fucking fridge?

FozzyOsbourne ,
@FozzyOsbourne@lemm.ee avatar

Weird, I don't think I've ever seen an ice dispenser. Is this a USA thing?

OK, so just a cool box on wheels?

People are actually on BlueSky

There's now a decent measurement of #bluesky user numbers (https://bskycharts.edavis.dev/edavis.dev/bskycharts.edavis.dev/bsky_users_total.html) ...

They've got about 1.6M MAUs ...
& 0.8M Weekly unique users & 0.340M Daily.

That's not nothing!

Roughly double mastodon and 60% more than the whole fediverse (by MAUs, see fedidb.org).

Bluesky is quite "international" with large Japanese and Brazilian popltns, and there's real attrition happening IMO.

Still, let the protocol wars begin I suppose?

Yeah this doesn't come off as arrogant, just as a joke
