I'm more privy to "_fireFox" when declaring my browser.
PNW?
Damn, $3.50USD gets you a flat white/cappuccino/latte here, I don't know if you'd find pour over coffee. And people here are upset at THAT cost, with home espresso machines taking off accordingly. I'm surprised Americans drink so much coffee at that price.
$5USD for a coffee, is that normal? Is that inclusive of a tip? Here in Australia Id leave the register if they tried charging me more than $3USD, and we don't have a tipping culture (thank god).
Ooh I'll be showing off my booth! I got a spot in the indie section for my Musical comedy RPG Game Over, but as a solo dev it's a bit nerve racking. If you come find me and mention Lemmy I'll give you whatever merch I have. If I don't have merch I might have to give you the computer or something, just to keep my word.
Everybody should try making their own baked beans at least once. Buy navy beans from a market ($7 AUD a kilo at mine), and follow this recipe. They're nicer, cheaper and healthier than the canned variety, plus you can edit whatever you like. I add chillies, onions, and nutritional yeast. Mine lasted at least 5 days in the fridge, they didn't get a chance to hang around longer.
I find I often have to stop for a moment and imagine her life up until the sniper shot. Like, you and I have ONE life, and it's EVERYTHING, and this girl's went dark for the remainder of the universe.
Scientists have been edging us with woolly mammoths for decades.
Vegan diets are popular in third world countries because they're considerably cheaper. Meat is cheap in western countries because it's very often subsidized by governments. Meat consumption by wealth proves eating animals is a luxury.
Also veganism mantras always have "as far as is practicable". I bought a Samsung phone because Fairphones don't work here in Australia.
Oh bother I can't remember who did the study, but Earthling Ed in his book talks about it, whereby participants were either served meat or not during questions regarding diet, and those who were eating meat became almost obtusely against vegan diets. I tried searching for it just now but can't think of the right keywords to find it.
Unless you're a male chicken, then your range is whatever the dimensions of the Live Rooster Masher is.
Oh I upvoted it because I'd never seen the bot before, and liked the idea (even though it didn't work here). I have the mediafactcheck add-on which simply shows a websites bias in my Firefox toolbar, I think it's a good idea to have media bias constantly in the public eye.
Oh dear I remember playing around with explosives as a kid, chlorine, break fluid, tin foil, that kinda thing. Then we started playing around with acetone and peroxide, trying to make a touch explosive. I count my blessings that we didn't do it correctly, as I absolutely would have lost a hand. I don't know how you can explain to some people the risks associated with this kinda stuff, the book we were using called the touch explosive "Mother of Satan". If that didn't dissuade us...
Oh this is my jam, I analyse sleep studies on one screen, watch stuff on the other.

You could probably say that to the majority of social media comments, right?
My dad was a bit of a tinkerer, and he attached a power plug to the battery terminals of my gameboy and gamegear to avoid buying me batteries. So long as the wires never popped off the battery springs, I was right as rain.
Jokes on you, the trash heap is now deliciously seasoned.
Why did you buy your pet some ashes?
I pre-ordered a pair of Jennen shoes (elevator shoes, so I can be a big boy) from their online site (they no longer have the shopfront on Johnstone street) and got asked for a tip at the end. For basically changing a stock allocation assignment. I had a whinge on their contact forms, and they replied "the tip function is optional".
2 years later I emailed again, saying "I haven't bought a replacement pair of shoes, all because of the audacity to ask for a tip. I get that it's optional, but so is a cashier going 'hey give me that twenty from your wallet', and when the customer goes 'wtf??' the cashier replies 'oh lol it's optional'. You may have thought 'you know, a tip screen could give us free money! What's the harm?', and I guess this follow up email is proof of that harm. Don't bring tipping culture here please!"
I get this reply a day later, and can confirm the tip function is now gone. Loverly! Whinging may be one thing, but persistent whinging made the difference.
"Lemmy at em!" says some wisecracking character in my video game maybe, in a referential nod to a relatively niche community in an attempt to appeal.
For the past six years I've been working on Game Over, a Comedy Rhythm RPG, and maybe you'll like it?
There's a little demo on Steam and also one on itch.io which you can play free of charge! What a deal! What a sweet treat for yourself and friends!
Also I don't have a complaints form, so if you have any, please comment below and I will angrily defend myself and take potshots at you.
